“…Additionally, many devices for stroke interventions can be redesigned to adapt TR platforms. For example, FES and tDCS devices have already been used for neuromodulation in TR ( 68 ), but the number of studies is very limited mainly for safety reasons. With additions of remote control and extensive safety mechanisms, ES devices have potential to be used in TR more frequently.…”

Telerehabilitation (TR) is a new model to provide rehabilitation services to stroke survivors. It is a promising approach to deliver mainstream interventions for movement, cognitive, speech and language, and other disorders. TR has two major components: information and communication technologies (ICTs) and stroke interventions. ICTs provide a platform on which interventions are delivered and subsequently result in stroke recovery. In this mini-review, we went over features of ICTs that facilitate TR, as well as stroke interventions that can be delivered via TR platforms. Then, we reviewed the effects of TR on various stroke disorders. In most studies, TR is a feasible and effective solution in delivering interventions to patients. It is not inferior to usual care and in-clinic therapy with matching dose and intensity. With new technologies, TR may result in better outcomes than usual care for some disorders. One the other hand, TR also have many limitations that could lead to worse outcomes than traditional rehabilitation. In the end, we discussed major concerns and possible solutions related to TR, and also discussed potential directions for TR development.

“…The impact of eligibility criteria on women in post-stroke neuromodulation studies, particularly involving walking and TMS, has been rarely reported. 13,14,18,19 This is an important area of continued research. 16,17 Hence, our primary objective is to investigate enrollment of women in a post-stroke neuromodulation (ie, tDCS) study in 2 ways (1) to determine whether sex (female vs male) has an impact on the occurrence of each barrier to enrollment (exclusion criterion) and determine if these effects differ by sex; and (2) to compare the sex distribution of individuals screened and enrolled in our study with that of a broader stroke-affected population.…”

Background Women have a higher risk of stroke and related disability than men but are underrepresented in stroke clinical trials. Identifying modifiable recruitment and enrollment barriers for women can improve study generalizability, statistical power, and resource utilization. Objective In a post-stroke neuromodulation study, we determined the impact of sex on the occurrence of exclusion criteria and compared the sex distribution of screened and enrolled individuals with a broader stroke-affected population. Methods A total of 335 individuals with chronic stroke were screened for a study examining how neuromodulation and high-intensity treadmill training affect walking speed and corticomotor excitability. Demographics and exclusions were retrospectively gathered as a secondary dataset. Exclusion criteria consisted of 6 categories (not target population, unable to do treadmill protocol, unable to do non-invasive brain stimulation, insufficient ankle motion and disinterest, and cognitive impairment). Incidence of each exclusion criterion was compared between women and men. The sex distribution was compared to a dataset from Chicago primary stroke centers. Results A total of 81 individuals were enrolled and 254 were not. The percentage of women excluded was significantly greater than that of men ( P = .04). No individual exclusion criterion or categories excluded women more frequently than men. Screened and enrolled individuals had a lower proportion of women and younger age than a representative stroke population ( P < .001). Conclusions We identified exclusion criteria (ie, headaches, cognitive scores, and age) that are modifiable barriers to enrollment of women in this post-stroke neuromodulation study. Addressing underrepresentation of women in stroke research is pivotal for enhancing generalizability, achieving statistical power, and optimizing resources.
