The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a rehabilitation application on a smartphone, an app, can be used by adults who have had a stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Are people who have had a stroke able to use the app? Is the app useful for people who have had a stroke? Will the app adapt to the needs of the person recovering from a stroke?
Researchers will compare the app to the usual rehabilitation a person receives after a stroke to see if the app can be used as part of a person's rehabilitation.
Participants will:
Use the app every day for 6 weeks Have an assessment with a rehabilitation research doctor before starting using the app and after completing using the app Keep a diary of the exercises that they do using the app
