  Background: Biofeedback tools have been used in stroke rehabilitation to improve motor performance. In a previous study, we tested a biofeedback system based on inertial motion trackers, coupled with a vibratory module. Limitations of vibratory feedback, combined with data showing efficacy of combining visual and auditory feedback, justified changing the biofeedback. Objective: Follow-up study to assess whether visual and auditory feedback could improve motor performance of patients after stroke. Methods: Randomised controlled study (NCT03032692) involving 30 patients. Participants were allocated to two groups; both performed one exercise with the affected upper-limb with and without biofeedback. Primary outcome was the number of correct movements, defined as those starting at the baseline and reaching the target joint angle, without violating.. Read More»
