“…Stroke is the second main death cause, leading to 11.8% death causes on the planet, and the third leading disability sake in the world [1]. In addition, it generates a high social burden and generates high costs for health systems [2]. This disease is characterized by a cerebrovascular malfunction, ischemic or hemorrhagic, that can result in deficiency of balance and gait, aphasia, dysphagia, intestinal and voiding dysfunction, depression, altered cognition and generalized muscular weakness [3].…”

Introduction: Self-help devices (SHD) have been used as an alternative to conventional treatment for post stroke rehabilitation. This review aims to look for evidence that a stroke survivor may have increased muscle strength with the use of SHD. Methods: This article was conducted according to PRISMA, a statistical tool (state of the art by systematic review) and previously registered in PROSPERO (international prospective registry of systematic reviews) under number CRD42018091424. Studies addressing the use of SHD and its effect on muscle strength in stroke patients were included. The studies were read, selected and their metadata extracted. A Downs & Black scale was used to assess methodological quality. Results: 41 publications were analyzed, of which only three met the proposed inclusion criteria. Two articles showed positive results in strength gain using SHD. One study presented a decrease in the mean reaching forces when compared to the intervention groups (subacute and chronic with assistance to grip) and controls but SHD assisted in performing the activity. Conclusion: Studies using SHD suggest muscle strength improvement in stroke patients.

“…Stroke is the third leading cause of disability worldwide, with five million people annually becoming permanently disabled [1,2], which places an economic and resource burden on healthcare systems. In Europe, the annual incidence of stroke is expected to rise to 1.5 million by 2025 [3], with more than 196,000 strokes occurring annually in Italy [4] and over 100,000 in the UK [5]. The demographic changes are such that health care systems in both countries are failing to keep pace with demand and are not fit for purpose.…”

“…The demographic changes are such that health care systems in both countries are failing to keep pace with demand and are not fit for purpose. In recent years, the average rehabilitation time within Italian hospitals have reduced from 6 months to 45 days in order to limit the economic burden on the public system [4].…”

Background: Intensive rehabilitation is one of the most important aspects of care for people with stroke, and there is evidence that it leads to better recovery and higher levels of independence. However, pressure on resources in government funded secondary and primary healthcare settings means that for many people with stroke, intense rehabilitation is not available. Effective and efficient ways of increasing rehabilitation intensity, engagement, and motivation for rehabilitation are needed; as well as innovative treatment approaches that enable people with stroke to self-manage this rehabilitation. Technology offers a solution; virtual reality (VR) computer games have the potential to enhance engagement, improve adherence, and outcomes in stroke rehabilitation therapy. However, their integration into current health care pathways needs to be tested.Aims: The aim of the trial is to test the feasibility of incorporating VR computer games into a stroke rehabilitation system called 'MAGIC-GLASS', and its integration into the current care pathway for people with stroke.
