A new study is inviting stroke survivors with limited movement to take part in research that has turned rehabilitation exercises into a fun online game.
The University of Exeter study is exploring whether game-based exercises can help people regain movement and confidence at home, even several years after a stroke.
Stroke affects around 100,000 people in the UK every year, and more than 1.2 million people are living with its effects. About 70 per cent of them are left with upper limb impairments. While rehabilitation is known to improve recovery, many survivors experience limited access for ongoing support once they leave hospital.
