Abstract

Stroke is the main cause of disability among adults. Decision-making in stroke rehabilitation is increasingly complex; therefore, the use of decision support systems by healthcare providers is becoming a necessity. However, there is a significant lack of software for the management of post-stroke telerehabilitation (TR). This paper presents the results of the developed software “TeleRehab” to support the decision-making of clinicians and healthcare providers in post-stroke TR. We designed a Python-based software with a graphical user interface to manage post-stroke TR. We searched Scopus, ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases to obtain research papers with results of clinical trials for post-stroke TR and to form the knowledge base of the software. The findings show that TeleRehab suggests recommendations for TR to provide practitioners with optimal and real-time support. We observed feasible outcomes of the software based on synthetic data of patients with balance problems, spatial neglect, and upper and lower extremities dysfunctions. Also, the software demonstrated excellent usability and acceptability scores among healthcare professionals.
