A New At-home Telerehabilitation Care Service Delivery Model for Stroke Survivors in the Rio Grande Valley

Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a mobile telerehabilitation software for post-acute stroke care for Rio Grande Valley (RGV) stroke survivors with community health worker (CHW) at-home support and to estimate the functional health, mental health (depression), and caregiver burden outcomes of this new CHW-supported, at-home rehabilitation service delivery model and to identify salient barriers to and facilitators of adopting and delivering the new rehabilitation delivery model to further disseminate the model in real-world communities.
