From: Medical Design Technology - 05/29/2012

Researchers led by Regenstrief Institute investigator Neale Chumbler, PhD, a
research scientist with the Center of Excellence on Implementing
Evidence-Based Practice at the Richard Roudebush VA Medical Center in
Indianapolis, have developed STeleR, a home telerehabilitation program that
they report improves lower body physical functioning after a stroke.
Participating in STeleR also increased the likelihood of maintaining a
regular fitness routine, enhanced money management skills, and improved the
capability to prepare meals and take care of personal needs such as bathing.
