Robots and games in stroke rehabilitation

Who it’s for: Survivors of stroke, family members or carers

What it involves: Interview

Where: Online (Australia) or in-person (VIC)

Summary

Researchers from The University of Melbourne want to understand your likes, needs and preferences for robotic and gaming technology used in stroke rehabilitation. This will help hospitals and rehabilitation clinics to develop strategies to support patients to use this equipment and it may also help companies to develop more suitable equipment for patients.

Eligibility

• Survivors of stroke, family members and carers.

It doesn’t matter if you have or haven’t used gaming or robotic technology in rehabilitation, as the researchers are interested in understanding your views about such equipment.

Activity

An interview that may take around 30–45 minutes (maximum of 1 hour). This can be held online or in-person at The University of Melbourne.
