Description

Incorporating user requirements in the design of e-rehabilitation interventions facilitates their implementation. However,
insight into requirements for e-rehabilitation after stroke is lacking. This study investigated which user requirements for stroke
e-rehabilitation are important to stroke patients, informal caregivers, and health professionals. The methodology consisted
of a survey study amongst stroke patients, informal caregivers, and health professionals (physicians, physical therapists and
occupational therapists). The survey consisted of statements about requirements regarding accessibility, usability and content of a comprehensive stroke e-health intervention (4-point Likert scale, 1=unimportant/4=important). The mean with standard deviation was the metric used to determine the importance of requirements. Patients (N=125), informal caregivers (N=43), and health professionals (N=105) completed the survey. The mean score of user requirements regarding accessibility, usability and content for stroke e-rehabilitation was 3.1 for patients, 3.4 for informal caregivers and 3.4 for health professionals. Data showed that a large number of user requirements are important and should be incorporated into the design of stroke e-rehabilitation to facilitate their implementation.
