As part of this research study, your visits will take place in your home. We will first ask you to show us around and demonstrate some everyday activities. Please try to be well rested, as this helps us understand your daily life more accurately.

Being in your home in this way can feel quite personal, but everything you share and everything we observe is treated as strictly confidential within this study.

Remember to complete the 5 questionnaires you received: ABILHAND, SIS, SSEQ, GAD-7, PHQ-9

• Start thinking about the spaces you use your arm the most or where it can be used more
• Invite a family member or someone you trust to join the visits
• Think about your routines and activities that feel meaningful to you in your everyday life. We will help you make them (SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)

• Note your routines using the daily diary (Learn About Our Approach - How to Use the Daily Diaries)

During the first week, your therapist will complete some simple assessments to understand your baseline abilities. This will help us establish a starting point for how you manage your everyday activities. These will be completed again at the end of the 5 weeks.
