Overview
This project will determine the safety and effectiveness of a MiGo Tracker RTM program in a randomized controlled trial with individuals with subacute stroke (N=50). Participants will be randomly assigned to either the MiGo Tracker RTM program (intervention group) or prescription of home exercises with no monitoring (usual care/control group). All participants will still receive usual post-stroke care, including outpatient rehabilitation. The main question this study aims to answer is: Does a MiGo Tracker RTM program lead to significantly greater motor recovery at three-months post stroke than the usual care group. If successful, MiGo Tracker will lead to increased home exercise adherence and improved health outcomes for thousands of individuals following stroke.
