Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a virtual program called CARE-CITE that brings therapy and education directly into the homes of stroke survivors and their caregivers. The program is designed to help stroke survivors regain arm and hand function while also supporting the people caring for them. Researchers want to see if this interactive virtual approach works better than simply providing written educational materials.
Many stroke survivors struggle with arm and hand weakness long after leaving the hospital, and caregivers often experience high stress and burden from providing care. This trial exists to test whether involving both the stroke survivor and their caregiver together in a structured, interactive program — delivered safely at home through video — can improve recovery outcomes and reduce the strain on family caregivers.

If you join, you and your caregiver will participate together over about 7 months, with most activities happening at home through video calls. You'll have 4 assessment visits where researchers measure your arm recovery using both observation and small sensors worn on your wrists, plus questionnaires about how you're doing. The actual program lasts 4 weeks and includes two virtual therapy sessions and two phone check-ins with a therapist who will work with both you and your caregiver together.
