Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the benefit of the H'Ability Home device used in supervised self-rehabilitation at home on the autonomy of post-stroke patients.

Participants will perform their self-rehabilitation exercises at home using a virtual reality headset incorporating H'Ability Home software for 6 weeks during the experimental phase. This phase will be compared to a 6-week control phase at home, with self-rehabilitation exercises presented in a paper format.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, crossover, and repeated-measures clinical study.

Patients with a first stroke, currently undergoing rehabilitation in a center with a planned return home, and with low to reasonable susceptibility to motion sickness will be enrolled.

After inclusion, patients will be randomized to one of two study arms.

* Arm 1: Experimental phase / Washout / Control phase
* Arm 2: Control phase / Washout phase / Experimental phase

During the experimental phase, patients will perform their self-rehabilitation exercises at home using the H'Ability Home device for six weeks.

During the control phase, patients will perform their self-rehabilitation exercises at home using a paper-based exercise guide for six weeks. The two study phases are separated by a one-week washout period during which patients will not perform any self-rehabilitation exercises.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

After screening visit, patients are randomised between two Arms. Patients in Arm 1 start with experimental phase (H'Ability Home) and after a wash-out period start the control phase (paper). Patients randomised in Arm 2 start with the control phase and after the wash-out period start the experimental phase.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Stroke diagnosis: first stroke, with no history of stroke, documented in the medical record
* Currently in rehabilitation (in a center) (full hospitalization or day hospitalization for at least 3 days/week) for another 2 to 4 weeks.
* Planned return home (home self-rehabilitation phase): Patients at the end of their rehabilitation stay and scheduled to return home where the self-rehabilitation phase can take place.
* Ability to use virtual reality: Physical and cognitive ability to interact with virtual reality devices, at the discretion of therapists.
* Adult: Patients aged 18 years or older.
* Informed consent: Voluntary agreement to participate in the study after a full explanation of its terms and conditions.
* Member of a social security scheme or eligible beneficiary
* Distance between home and center included within the usual perimeter of each site.
* Presence of a third-party family caregiver at home who has agreed to ensure the patient's safety during self-rehabilitation sessions with the H'Ability Home device (consent)
* Availability of a Wi-Fi network and internet access at the patient's home
* Presence of an adequate space at home to perform rehabilitation exercises
* Person with low to reasonable sensitivity to motion sickness (MSSQ ≤ 15)


* • Visual disorders incompatible with the use of virtual reality (absence of binocular vision, blindness, conjunctivitis, etc.) at the discretion of the investigator. PS: Visual disorders corrected by wearing a vision correction device are not concerned because glasses or contact lenses can be worn when using an IVR headset.

* Major cognitive impairment: Severe cognitive impairment affecting the patient's ability to understand or follow study instructions, or to operate the device independently, at the investigators' discretion.
* History of epilepsy: History of epileptic seizures, particularly photosensitive seizures, which may be triggered or aggravated by the use of virtual reality.
* Medical instability: presence of unstable or uncontrolled medical conditions that could interfere with active participation in rehabilitation.
* Psychiatric illnesses: active psychiatric disorders (e.g., psychosis, unstabilized bipolar disorder) that could disrupt participation and continuity of rehabilitation, at the investigators' discretion.
* Wearing implantable medical devices or personal medical devices that could be affected by radio waves (pacemakers, cochlear implants, etc.)
* Participation in another clinical study: engagement in another clinical study likely to interfere with the study objectives or outcome assessments
* Planned hospitalization during the home self-rehabilitation period
* Pregnant, childbirth, or breastfeeding women
* Persons deprived of their liberty by a judicial (including guardianship, curatorship, and judicial protection) or administrative decision
* Persons receiving psychiatric care or admitted to a health or social care facility for purposes other than research
* Persons in an emergency situation unable to express their prior consent


* Adult: Person aged 18 years or older
* Informed consent: Voluntary agreement to participate in the study after a full explanation of its terms and conditions.
* Member of a social security scheme or entitled person
* Patient's family caregiver
* Ability to assist the patient in using the device
* Ability to ensure the patient's safety when using the device
* Agreement to assist and ensure the patient's safety when using the device at home
* Agreement to provide feedback on the device by completing self-administered questionnaires (UTAUT) - optional


* Pregnant, childbirth, or breastfeeding women
* Persons deprived of their liberty by a judicial (including guardianship, curatorship, and judicial protection) or administrative decision
* Persons receiving psychiatric care or admitted to a health or social care facility for purposes other than research
* Persons in an emergency situation unable to express their prior consent
