Brief Summary: A pilot randomized two parallel group study comparing an iPad software game application versus standard care in post-stroke patients

Study hypothesis Tablet PC technology using the iPad is a feasible and potentially efficacious tool which has the potential to promote fine motor recovery of the upper extremity after stroke
Detailed Description: The standard one hour of out-patient rehabilitation is insufficient in providing the repetitive intense training required for rehabilitation of fine motor recovery There are also limited interventions are available for home use after discharge from a rehabilitation centre Hence there is now a need to determine the feasibility of innovative strategies for home use to cover the gap after discharge from rehabilitation institutions

iHOME is an original low cost potentially high impact intervention to fulfil this gap If proven to be effective the use of tablet technology has a broad range of potential outcomes and benefits The anticipated public benefit is for stroke patients to be able to potentially employ the iPad an accessible technological device as an expansion of rehabilitation in an in-home setting

iHOME is a pilot randomized controlled trial with a blinded outcome assessment The trial is subdivided into iHOME Acute and iHOME Chronic where patients have had a stroke less than 3 months or more than 6 months ago respectively at the time of randomization Participants will be randomly allocated in a 11 ratio to the interventions arms ie the investigational and control group
