Smart Phone for Stroke Upper Limb Motor Function Training

Stroke rehabilitation for stroke patients can enhance the upper and lower limb function, daily of daily activity improvement, and be beneficial to the family members\' quality of life. Literature studies have supported the use of tele-rehabilitation to be as effective as stroke home rehabilitation. Stroke tele-rehabilitation model can use smartphones and apps to practice the mobile health model. Nevertheless, effects of tele-rehabilitation analysis for the proximal recovery of the stroke upper limbs still need to be explored. The main purpose of this research is to develop a smart phone with app system for stroke upper limb motor training, and further analyze its feasibility and treatment effects. The investigators randomly assigned chronic home stroke cases to the experimental group (n=20) and control group (n=20), each group received 8 weeks of treatment.
