    Most stroke patients have impaired upper limb function, and many of them will continue to have difficulty using their limbs in daily activities


    Wearable technology that monitors the amount of upper extremity exercise and provides feedback may help determine a more specific relationship between repetitions and recovery, and may also motivate individuals to achieve higher levels of repetitive exercise


    The authors of these review papers believe that in the field of upper limb rehabilitation after stroke, new technologies may make a positive contribution, but they also recognize that there are challenges in their clinical applications


    In fact, a user-centric design approach is the best way to obtain relevant information


    This study uses a qualitative description method to obtain a description of the clinician’s upper extremity work experience, as well as their views on potential wearable devices for capturing upper extremity activity after a stroke


    All participants provided written informed consent before the start of the focus group meeting


    Suggested design considerations for potential wearable devices

    From March 2015 to April 2015, four focus groups were conducted, each with three to five participants (a total of 18 clinicians)


    Participating doctor’s profile

    The lead author (LAS) is a female occupational therapist and doctoral student, with previous experience in conducting qualitative focus groups and treating upper limbs after stroke


    All therapists want a sensor that can evaluate exercise volume and exercise quality at the same time


    All therapists want a sensor that can evaluate exercise volume and exercise quality at the same time


    This is the first study to investigate clinicians’ perceptions of wearable devices that track and assess upper limb activity
