N2 - This paper describes the design of the Armed4Stroke program. Patients after stroke and their caregivers are included as a couple. The caregiver is trained as a co-therapist by a physiotherapist experienced in providing caregiver-mediated exercises (CME) to support and motivate the patient. The program consists of 8 weeks of gait and gait-related exercises, complementary to regular rehabilitation therapy. The couple will receive a tailor-made exercise program, which is adapted to the patients’ abilities and goals and is progressive in nature. The program is supported by videos with exercise instructions, which are accessible using a web-based tele-rehabilitation system. It is hypothesized that CME, supported with tele-rehabilitation is able to promote daily mobility and to reduce anxiety and depression in patients after stroke and their caregivers.
