DARE – Phase 2

DARE Delivering the digital ambition: exploring how we can develop, implement and evaluate digital health technologies in rehabilitation

Developing an app to provide mental practice for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke

We recognise that mental practice has strong evidence to support its effectiveness in improving upper limb function after stroke, yet we also know it is not widely used in practice. We think that technology might help support the use of mental practice in stroke rehabilitation and so propose to develop an app that provides mental practice for the upper limb.

We are developing this app using a collaborative design approach that includes people living with stroke and those that care from them, rehabilitation clinicians and technology developers from the outset.
