  Objectives: The objectives of this study were to: 1) explore the feasibility of implementing in-home exercises via a tele-rehabilitation program for Veterans with stroke in Home-Based Primary Care (HBPC) in a single US Department of Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center (VAMC); and 2) assess exercise adherence and progression in Veterans with stroke during the program. Materials and Methods: Study participants completed 3 televideo visits and 5 telephone visits with a physical therapist (PT) over a 3 month period. Participants were instructed in an exercise program and were asked to report adherence with the exercise program and reasons for non-adherence per a standardized questionnaire throughout the program. Televideo visits were conducted using a video link installed on a lap top computer taken to the participant’s home and a desk-top computer at the PT work.. View More»
