Engaging in a home-based exercise program: A mixed-methods approach to identify motivators and barriers for individuals with stroke.
Assistive Technology : the Official Journal of RESNA 2022 November 29
Community-dwelling individuals with chronic stroke used a novel, portable rehabilitation system, mRehab, that uses a smartphone app coupled with 3D printed objects resembling daily use items. The objectives of this study include evaluating participant's approach and nature of engagement with mRehab and identifying factors that influenced the users' engagement with mRehab. An explanatory mixed method approach was used. In the first phase, sixteen participants used mRehab at home for six weeks; six participants were recruited from the first phase for in-depth interviews. Participants were categorized into High, Moderate, and Low Frequency groups based on their frequency of mRehab use. High frequency of use was not related to improved performance on clinical assessments; instead, High Frequency users more commonly initiated performance of new activities after the mRehab program compared to participants with lower frequency of use. Useful activities that are challenging and meaningful to the participants, and availability of objective feedback for self-monitoring were some of the motivators for mRehab use. Difficulty with time management, lack of caregiver availability, and difficulties with the design of the system posed as barriers to mRehab use. Tailoring home programs to the recipients' needs including perceived meaningfulness of the activities is key for long-term rehabilitation.
