Rehago - A Home-Based Training App Using Virtual Reality to Improve Functional Performance of Stroke Patients with Mirror Therapy and Gamification Concept: A Pilot Study

In this study, 48 stroke patients completed the full course of intervention with Rehago and their functional performance of pre- and post-intervention was investigated. The intervention with Rehago was predefined as 30 minutes training per day, 5 days per week over a course of 6 weeks. The patient's progress was evaluated by their therapists every 14 days, with a baseline assessment before the intervention began. The results showed an average improvement of 5.54 points in the Functional Independence Measurement score, and an improvement of 7.13 points in the assessed quality-of-life score (EQ5D-5L). An improvement of the FIM score and the quality-of-life score in EQ5D-5L was observed, indicating it is beneficial to the patients using Rehago as a home-based rehabilitation tool.PMID:35575855 | DOI:10.3233/SHTI220330
