TEAMS Trial Summary

The investigators propose to develop a Telerehabilitation approach to working memory training for patients experiencing working memory deficits post stroke. The investigators have currently developed a game-like computerized working memory training program that can be accessed via the internet for research purposes. The investigators propose to refine the website to focus more on clinically based training, and to evaluate the feasibility and initial effectiveness of this approach in a pilot study with participants after stroke.

TEAMS Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Training GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be 10 individuals post stroke, living in the community. The intervention, adaptive working memory training, is a dual n-back working memory task. This training will take place once for 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks, with one week dedicated for familiarizing participants to the program in the very beginning (i.e., Week 1).
