We need your help to improve the care for patients recovering from stroke.

About the trial

NeuRA are developing a comprehensive digital-rehabilitation program that integrates a tailored high-dose exercise program with usual care for patients recovering from stroke. The program will improve physical mobility and target balance, strength and functional tasks that show promise in improving health-related quality-of-life and independence in patients recovering from stroke.

Eligibility criteria

If you are:

• Are aged 18 years or older
• Have experienced a stroke or are the carer of someone who has experienced a stroke
• Are no longer staying hospital to receive treatment for a medical condition

• You agree to participate in an interview or focus group, or both, that will be video and audio recorded.

What’s involved

Participating involves taking part in an interview (conducted online using video conferencing software or in-person) with research staff that will take no longer than 60 minutes. In the interview we will ask you questions about your needs, preferences, and priorities as a person who has experienced a stroke or is the carer of a person who has experienced a stroke.

We will use the information you provide to build a digital exercise program and also understand how innovative technologies in improving the healthcare system.
