Bringing stroke rehab home: new trial tests Game-Like exercises for rural patients

NCT ID NCT07467785

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether home-based telerehabilitation can help stroke survivors who did not get outpatient rehab improve arm and hand function. Two hundred participants across Alberta will use the Tenzr system, which includes fun, game-like exercises with wearable sensors guided by a remote therapist. Half will start therapy immediately, while the other half will wait 8 weeks before starting. The goal is to see if this approach is effective, easy to use, and could be offered more widely.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an effective home-based therapy option for stroke survivors who lack access to outpatient rehabilitation.
