Balancing Access with Technology: Comparing In-Person and Telerehabilitation Berg Balance Scale Scores among Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: The results of this study support administration of the BBS using TRH technology; this could improve access to balance assessment for stroke survivors in rural and remote communities.PMID:34456445 | PMC:PMC8370687 | DOI:10.3138/ptc-2019-0095

Risk and space: modelling the accessibility of stroke centers using day- & amp; nighttime population distribution and different transportation scenarios
CONCLUSIONS: In general, we reveal inequivalence of the risks in case of a stroke depending on locations and times of the day. The ability to drive at high average speeds is a crucial factor in emergency care. Further important factors are the different population distribution at day and night and the locations of health care facilities. With the increasing centralization of hospital locations, rural residents in particular will face a worse accessibility situation.PMID:34187473 | DOI:10.1186/s12942-021-00284-y

Development and feasibility of a modified Fugl-Meyer lower extremity assessment for telerehabilitation: a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: Participants with stroke and clinical consultation indicated the FM-tele developed for telerehabilitation is feasible. A lower extremity motor assessment tool for telerehabilitation is urgently needed for stroke survivors living in rural areas or when face-to-face visits are impossible. This pilot study provides preliminary support for a future study.PMID:34099053 | DOI:10.1186/s40814-021-00862-8

Telemedicine remote controlled stroke evaluation and treatment, the experience of radiographers, paramedics and junior doctors in a novel rural stroke management team
CONCLUSIONS: The telemedicine-based, remote controlled, stroke evaluation and treatment was experienced, by the participants, to be well organised and of high quality. Communication and image reading appear to be the salient challenges. Regular training sessions and follow-up, as well as an evaluation of incidents by the project manager, proved to be of great importance in retaining and securing the continued running of the service and ensuring high-quality treatment. Further research is indicated in the comparison of this telemedicine service with stroke treatment given in a mainstream hospital.PMID:34090447 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-021-06591-1

The "Flying Intervention Team": A Novel Stroke Care Concept for Rural Areas
Cerebrovasc Dis. 2021 Apr 13:1-8. doi: 10.1159/000514845. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Endovascular treatment of large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke patients is difficult to establish in remote areas, and time dependency of treatment effect increases the urge to develop health care concepts for this population.SUMMARY: Current strategies include direct transportation of patients to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) ("mothership model") or transportation to the nearest primary stroke center (PSC) and secondary transfer to the CSC ("drip-and-ship model"). Both have disadvantages. We propose the mod...

Perceived Usefulness of a Social Robot Augmented Telehealth Platform by Therapists in the United States
IEEE Robot Autom Lett. 2021 Apr;6(2):2946-2953. doi: 10.1109/lra.2021.3062349. Epub 2021 Feb 25.ABSTRACTWith the shortage of rehabilitation clinicians in rural areas and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, remote rehabilitation (telerehab) fills an important gap in access to rehabilitation, especially for the treatment of adults and children experiencing upper arm disability due to stroke and cerebral palsy. We propose the use of a socially assistive robot with arms, a torso, and a face to play games with and guide patients, coupled with a telepresence platform, to maintain the patient-clinician interaction, and a computer visi...
