TR will be delivered by means of an advanced video-conferencing system, and patients will be provided with low-cost monitoring devices, able to collect data about the health status and QoL. All treatments from remote are based on scheduled videoconferences between the patient's home and the Clinical Units, and therapists can control and modify the exercises. A virtual reality based system, consisting of two PC-based workstations, located at the patient's home and at the rehabilitation center, will be used. For the motor treatments the patient has to move the real end effector, following the trajectory of the corresponding virtual task displayed on his computer screen. The speech and cognitive exercises will be delivered from the two Research Institutes to the patient's home.

In this group patients will be treated with conventional physiotherapy and speech training, adjusted in reason of the clinical needs, as usually. Treatments for motor limbs activity will be focused on functional active-assistive and active exercises. Conventional "paper and pencil" training will be used to improve cognitive function.

A virtual reality based system, consisting of two PC-based workstations, located at the patient's home and at the rehabilitation center, will be used. For the motor treatments the patient has to move the real end effector, following the trajectory of the corresponding virtual task displayed on his computer screen. The speech (mainly lexical based) and cognitive (attention focused) exercises will be delivered from the two Research Institutes to the patient's home. During the treatment at home, the patients will use wearable monitoring devices to monitor their status (speed, heart rate, respiratory rate, training load and single-lead ECG in real-time) and to provide real-time feedback during exercises.

This generic assessment instrument for health and disability may be considered a tool to produce standardized disability levels and profiles. It is applicable across cultures, in all adult populations, and is directly linked at the level of the concepts to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

he Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a widely used screening assessment for detecting cognitive impairment.he MoCA test is a one-page 30-point test administered in approximately 10 minutes.

The Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity (FMUE) Scale1 is a widely used and highly recommended stroke-specific, performance-based measure of impairment. It is designed to assess reflex activity, movement control and muscle strength in the upper extremity of people with post-stroke hemiplegia. It has been extensively used as an outcome measure in rehabilitation trials and to record post-stroke recovery.
