TeleRehab for Patients With Post-Stroke Communication Deficits Using Mobile Technology
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating iPad for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Post-stroke communication deficits (PSCD) are a common symptom of patients having sustained a stroke. These deficits include difficulty to produce or understand language, motor speech disorders and cognitive-communication disorders. It is estimated that approximately 40% of stroke survivors will have communication disorders post stroke. In this randomized controlled study, the investigators' objective is to test the value of providing a mobile platform-based Speech Language Therapy (SLT) program to patients discharged from an acute care hospital with stroke and PSCD and awaiting outpatient rehab services versus standard of care treatment. The investigators will offer iPad-based SLT/standard of treatment to a convenience sample of 20 patients with post-stroke communication deficits. The primary outcome will be feasibility (recruitment rate, adherence rate, retention rate, and protocol deviations), and the secondary outcome will be improvement in PSCD.
