About this trial
This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a semi-autonomous upper-limb rehabilitation program based on exergames in adults with chronic stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either an exergame-based intervention or an individually delivered conventional home-based therapy program. The primary outcome is upper-limb functionality as measured by the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT). Secondary outcomes include upper-limb motor function and quality of life. The study also examines adherence, usability, and the feasibility of remote monitoring for long-term implementation.
