This trial is for individuals who've had a stroke confirmed by CT or MRI, with mild to moderate motor or cognitive impairments. They should be able to follow verbal commands and use the internet, have been recommended for self-guided or in-person rehab, and not have severe other illnesses that could limit survival.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?

It aims to see if this home-based telerehabilitation is feasible and effective in improving patient's abilities, reducing hospital readmissions, and overcoming barriers related to social determinants of health.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive telerehabilitation exercises guided virtually, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from physical activity or frustration with technology use.
