Phase N/A

Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability. This study aims to help stroke survivors and their care partners, usually family members, work together to improve recovery at home. The program, called CARE-CITE, is a web-based tool that helps family members support stroke survivors in daily activities, focusing on upper body recovery. The study lasts 29 weeks, and all visits are done virtually, which means online with a computer or tablet. Participants will be split into two groups: one group uses CARE-CITE, and the other receives traditional educational materials. Both groups will get virtual home visits and phone check-ins. Stroke survivors will wear sensors on their wrists for a few days to measure improvement. This research hopes to create better recovery programs for stroke survivors and their families.

  • Study lasts for 29 weeks with virtual visits.
  • Involves stroke survivors and their family care partners.
  • Includes wearing sensors and completing exercises at home.
