Introduction
Dorra Rakia Allegue, PhD is a Postdoctoral fellow working in the field of artificial intelligence and rehabilitation of chronic conditions. She received her Ph.D. in rehabilitation science from the University of Montreal, where she focused on remote rehabilitation methods for stroke survivors with chronic arm deficits.
After completing her doctoral studies, Dorra joined the PCHI lab, where she has been conducting research on the use of AI in the rehabilitation of chronic conditions (eg. stroke).

Purpose:
We aimed to describe the development of a tailored, theory-informed training session for an outcome measure (the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory), and evaluate the session's impact on clinician reactions, learning, and behavioural intent.
Materials and methods:
We developed the training session using an integrated knowledge transla...
This study aimed to better understand the factors influencing the provision of sexuality-related post-stroke rehabilitation services by clinicians on different sites and to explore strategies to improve post-stroke rehabilitation services with stakeholders. A qualitative study with co-design methods was conducted with 20 clinicians from five post-s...
Background: Exergames are increasingly being used among survivors of stroke with chronic upper extremity (UE) sequelae to continue exercising at home after discharge and maintain activity levels. The use of virtual reality exergames combined with a telerehabilitation app (VirTele) may be an interesting alternative to rehabilitate the UE sequelae in...
Introduction
Most people who sustain a stroke are likely to experience sexual difficulties during their recovery. However, few people get the opportunity to address sexuality during their rehabilitation because of factors related to the organization (e.g., culture), managers (e.g., lack of resources), clinicians (e.g., perceived lack of knowledge,...
BACKGROUND
Exergames are increasingly used among stroke survivors with chronic UE sequelae, to continue exercising at home, after discharge, and maintain activity level. The use of virtual reality exergames combined with telerehabilitation app (VirTele) may be an interesting alternative to rehabilitate the UE sequelae in chronic stroke survivors wh...

BACKGROUND
In Canada, chronic stroke survivors have difficulty accessing community-based rehabilitation services, due to lack of resources. VirTele, a personalized remote rehabilitation program combining virtual reality exergames and telerehabilitation, was developed to offer chronic stroke survivors the opportunity to pursue rehabilitation of thei...

Background
In Canada, only 11% of stroke survivors have access to outpatient and community-based rehabilitation after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. Hence, innovative community-based strategies are needed to provide adequate postrehabilitation services. The VirTele program, which combines virtual reality exergames and a telerehabilitation...
BACKGROUND
In Canada, only 11% of survivors access to outpatient and community-based rehabilitation, after discharge. Hence, innovative community-based strategies are needed in order to provide adequate post-rehabilitation services. The VirTele-program (a program that combines VIRtual-reality exergames and TELErehabilitation), was developed to give...
Background: Exergames have the potential to provide an accessible, remote approach for poststroke upper extremity (UE) rehabilitation. However, the use of exergames without any follow-up by a health professional could lead to compensatory movements during the exercises, inadequate choice of difficulty level, exercises not being completed, and lack...

Objectives:
To evaluate the effect of neurodynamics mobilization (NDM) on an artificially induced edema in the median nerve at the level of the carpal tunnel in unembalmed cadavers and to assess whether NDM tensioning techniques (TT) and NDM sliding techniques (SLT) induce similar effects on intraneural fluid dispersion.
Design:
Fourteen upper e...
