Perception of Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies Among Post-Stroke Patients and Rehabilitation Staff

This observational study aims to assess the perception of advanced rehabilitation technologies among three key groups involved in stroke recovery: post-stroke patients, physicians specialized in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, and allied health professionals. The study is conducted at HCL - Renée Sabran Hospital , specifically within the Kermes 2 department. Participants are selected using a non-probability sampling method, based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data will be collected using a structured, author-developed questionnaire designed to evaluate attitudes, perceived usefulness, ease of use, and intention to adopt technologies such as exoskeletons, social robots, wearable interactive devices, and biofeedback systems. The questionnaire is applied at a single time point after obtaining informed consent. This research responds to the growing integration of technology in neurorehabilitation and seeks to identify potential barriers or facilitators to its adoption in clinical practice.

The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference in perception and acceptance of advanced rehabilitation technologies between the three groups, influenced by their respective roles, experience, and level of exposure to such technologies.

Primary outcomes

Perceptions of post-stroke patients, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians and auxiliary medical staff on Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies.

Time frame: Day 1

The primary outcome measure evaluates the perception of advanced rehabilitation technologies among key stakeholders involved in post-stroke recovery. This perception is assessed using a structured questionnaire specifically developed by the authors, designed to capture attitudes, perceived usefulness, ease of use, and intention to adopt technologies such as exoskeletons, social robots, wearable interactive devices, and biofeedback systems. The instrument is applied to three target groups: post-stroke patients, physicians specializing in physical and rehabilitation medicine, and allied health professionals. This measure provides critical insights into the acceptability and potential integration of advanced technologies in neurorehabilitation practice.
