Better together: towards a clinically feasible digital-therapeutics augmented-reality exergaming program for at-home rehabilitation for people with stroke
Is at-home augmented-reality exergaming safe and effective for improving gait and balance after stroke?
Through a partnership between clinical and scientific experts from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and engineers and entrepreneurs from the digital-therapeutics company Strolll, this project aims to demonstrate that at-home augmented-reality exergaming is safe and effective for improving gait and balance after stroke.
Stroke is a big healthcare problem. People in the chronic phase after stroke experience long-lasting gait-and-balance deficits, resulting in costly and impactful injurious falls. At-home rehabilitation is much needed as soon there will not be enough healthcare professionals available to treat the growing number of stroke survivors.
After a phase of co-creating the gait-and-balance augmented-reality exergaming program with people with stroke, their caregivers and clinical professionals, a clinical feasibility and efficacy study will be conducted to evaluate if this approach is safe, adherable, acceptable, usable and effective for improving gait-and-balance outcomes after stroke. As part of this study, the gait-and-balance exergaming program will be implemented in the clinical pathway, starting in the clinic for a few supervised sessions with the therapist and then continuing the rehabilitation independently at home.
This public-private partnership project will be a success when i) the co-created gait-and-balance exergaming program are favorably evaluated by people with stroke, their caregivers and healthcare professionals, ii) the exergaming program is implemented at minimally 10 physical therapy sites in the clinical pathway for an evaluation of its clinical feasibility and effectiveness, and iii) when the clinical feasibility and effectiveness of the exergaming program is supported scientifically to the extent that the results may be used for medical regulatory (to obtain CE, CA and FDA certification) and commercialization purposes at the end of the project.
