Nervous System Diseases, Rehabilitation, Technology, Telerehabilitation
Conditions
Brief summary
Congenital or acquired neurological disorders could lead to consistent motor and cognitive disabilities. The continuity and persistency of a tailored home rehabilitation protocol after recovery is crucial to prevent disease aggravation or relapses. The integration of a web-based new technology in home rehabilitation programme can constitute a functional low cost resource by offering patients off-line (and on-line) monitoring and by proposing new motivating ways of rehabilitation through high tech tools such as serious games.
Interventions
Usual care at home program according to healthcare professional's advice
