Telerehabilitation Experimental Group
"Experimental training will occur in the home. The experimental training will last 8 weeks, each week having up to 4 sessions of therapeutic game play (based on tolerance). Each session will start with vitals and subjective pain level being measured and logged.~They will wear a computer system modified with biosensors, then do motor and cognitive baselines. Subsequently, participants will play an increasing number of games, targeted at cognitive domains of executive function (primary), memory and attention. At the end of every session vitals and subjective pain will be measured and logged.~Clinical Coordinator will call homes weekly to ascertain general health and issues with participation.~At the end of week 4 and 8 participants and their caregivers in the experimental group will fill a subjective evaluation questionnaire to gauge perceived benefits and technical difficulties when using the experimental system. Questions will be scored on a 5-point Likert scale."
Telerehabilitation Sham Control Group
"Sham control group will train playing web games while wearing a biosensor connected to a laptop provided, showing the web games. However biosensor data will not be used to control game difficulty.~Sham group controls will start every session with vitals and subjective pain levels being measured and logged. Then participants will play the same frequency and duration of sessions, however those will consist of web games training the same domains (memory, focusing, executive function). Interaction will be through a mouse, and data will be downloaded to a server maintained by the company doing the web games. Data will then be transferred to the research team.~At the end of every session vitals and subjective pain levels will again be measured and logged.~Once a week the Clinical Coordinator will call the home to ascertain general health and determine is there were issues with that week participation."
