Summary

This study tests a 16-week home-based physiotherapy programme for people who have recently had a stroke. The programme combines in-person and remote sessions, an online exercise platform, and goal-setting to help participants do more rehabilitation. Researchers will see if this approach is feasible and whether it improves walking, arm function, and quality of life compared to usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A 16-week personalised physiotherapy programme combining home visits, remote consultations, an online exercise platform, goal setting, and self-management support.
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help stroke survivors do more rehabilitation at home, potentially improving recovery and reducing disability.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so results may not be conclusive. The programme's success depends on participants' ability to engage with technology and self-manage their exercises.
