Abstract
Background. There is a worldwide health crisis stemming from the rising incidence of various debilitating chronic diseases, with stroke as a leading contributor.
Chronic stroke management encompasses rehabilitation
and reintegration, and can require decades of personalized medicine and care. Information technology (IT) tools
have the potential to support individuals managing chronic
stroke symptoms. Objectives. This scoping review identifies prevalent topics and concepts in research literature
on IT technology for stroke rehabilitation and reintegration,
utilizing content analysis, based on topic modelling techniques from natural language processing to identify gaps
in this literature. Eligibility Criteria. Our methodological
search initially identified over 14,000 publications of the last
two decades in the Web of Science and Scopus databases,
which we filter, using keywords and a qualitative review, to a
core corpus of 1062 documents. Results. We generate a 3-
topic, 4-topic and 5-topic model and interpret the resulting
topics as four distinct thematics in the literature, which
we label as Robotics, Software, Functional and Cognitive.
We analyze the prevalence and distinctiveness of each thematic and identify some areas relatively neglected by the
field. These are mainly in the Cognitive thematic, especially
for systems and devices for sensory loss rehabilitation,
tasks of daily living performance and social participation.
Conclusion. The results indicate that IT-enabled stroke literature has focused on Functional outcomes and Robotic
technologies, with lesser emphasis on Cognitive outcomes
and combined interventions. We hope this review broadens
awareness, usage and mainstream acceptance of novel
technologies in rehabilitation and reintegration among clinicians, carers and patients.
