Brief summary
This study designs and develops an evidence-based game approach that will enhance the investigators understanding and usability of electronic tools to measure cognitive and sensorimotor abilities in an inpatient rehabilitation stroke population.
Detailed description
The rehabilitation industry is the incipient stages of developing and using electronic based assessment and intervention tools. With the growing understanding of cognitive recovery following stroke, rehabilitation specialists are optimistic that appropriate rehabilitation interventions may optimize and enhance functional outcomes. The use of technology based assessments via video games may assist in a patient's cognitive recovery. Design and development of an evidence-based game approach will enhance the investigators understanding and usability of electronic tools to measure cognitive and sensorimotor abilities. There is no intervention only an assessment for usability.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Usability Questionnaire | Session in which participant completes standardized assessments before the patient's discharge from inpatient rehabilitation (within 2 weeks) | Participant will perform videogame assessments and standardized paper-pencil assessments and evaluate the utility of the touch screen tests compared to the traditional testing methods using the Usability Questionnaire. The focus will be on the Usability Questionnaire (not the video or paper assessments) |
