PMID 36422867WHAT IT FOUND
No feasibility or effectiveness results are reported for ReWin, so therapists cannot tell whether the app helps stroke survivors.
What this paper is
This paper describes the conceptual, scientific, and technological development of ReWin, a home-based stroke telerehabilitation app for India. It lists intended users and app components, but it reports no methods or results from a feasibility or effectiveness study. The pilot evaluation is described as still in progress, so there is no finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not conclude that ReWin improves stroke recovery. This paper only describes the app and states that feasibility and effectiveness evaluation is still in progress.
