ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the effectiveness of a home-based rehabilitation program for stroke survivors using a special device called the Euleria Home®. The goal is to see if this new telemedicine approach can help patients recover just as well as traditional rehabilitation that takes place in person. Researchers will compare the improvements in movement, thinking, and language skills between those using the home device and those receiving standard outpatient therapy.

To be eligible for the trial, participants should be at least 18 years old and have had their first ischemic stroke verified by a brain scan. They should also have some difficulties with speech or thinking, and need a reliable internet connection to use the telerehabilitation system. Participants and their caregivers must be willing to learn how to use the technology and provide written consent to join the study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to help find effective rehabilitation methods that can be done from home, making recovery more accessible for stroke survivors.
