- Abstract
Introduction: The incidence of stroke in adults has increased in recent years, and individuals who survive often have one or more motor and cognitive deficits. In Brazil, the Unified Health System (SUS) faces difficulties in reabsorbing the entire population that needs physiotherapy after hospital discharge. In addition, the distance to rehabilitation units in Rio de Janeiro can be far, making it impossible for some patients to receive the treatment they need. Objective: To create a complementary mobile application for adults with unilateral motor deficits and to evaluate its content through expert judges. Methods: Applied research for the construction of a mobile app with the prototyping method by Pressman. Steps: 1) literature review; 2) development of the technological framework; 3) construction of the content; and 4) construction of a prototype. The app content was evaluated using the e-Delphi Method for peer review using a Likert-type questionnaire on the Google Forms platform. Results: The application was developed and designed to run on the Android operating system. Three rounds were carried out to evaluate the app's content. The final average of the content validity index (CVI) of all content items was 0.85, reaching the minimum agreement of 0.80, suggested by authors. Conclusion: The content of a mobile app for adults with unilateral post-stroke motor deficits was developed and approved, and its content was evaluated by expert judges. We believe that this app can contribute to the promotion of physical rehabilitation in people with unilateral motor deficits after hospital discharge.
