Effect of Gamification With Social Incentives on Daily Steps After Stroke

You wouldn't need to work on social incentives if you solved the correct problem. EXACT 100% RECOVERY PROTOCOLS! With that your patient would be way too busy doing the reps needed to accomplish the goal of recovery.

The annual costs of stroke in the US have exceeded $30 billion and are largely attributed to poststroke morbidity.1 Regular physical activity after stroke is associated with reduced morbidity and helps prevent recurrent strokes, but some individuals remain inactive.2 Previous interventions were primarily delivered in clinics and lacked support to facilitate skill translation to homes.3 Remote, individualized interventions paired with behavioral economic principles are efficacious for increasing physical activity4,5 but are untested in patients with stroke. We assessed the effect of gamification with social incentives on daily steps among community-dwelling adults with stroke.
