Limitations following stroke make it one of the leading causes of disability. The current medical pathway provides intensive care in the acute stages, but rehabilitation services are commonly discontinued after one year. While written home exercise programs are regularly prescribed at the time of discharge, compliancy is an issue. The goal of this study was to inform the design of a home-based portable rehabilitation system based on feedback from individuals with stroke and clinicians. A main component under consideration is the type and format of information feedback provided to the user, as this is hypothesized to support compliance with the rehabilitation program. From a series of focus groups and usability testing, a set of design requirements for the hardware and software were constructed. Essential features mentioned for the feedback interface included: task completion time, quality of movement, a selection of exercises, goal tracking, and a display of historical data.
