Effects of Appropriate Technology for Home-based Rehabilitation in Patients With Post-stroke Physical Dysfunction

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Home-based rehabilitation appropriate technology (S-HRAT) training: The S-HRAT training instruction consists of two phases: in-hospital training and post-discharge remote home training. Based on the S-HRAT list, we select individualized home rehabilitation training exercises for the participants and conduct five offline training instruction sessions one week before discharge to ensure that the participants master the correct method for each exercise and clarify precautions. At discharge, participants will receive an S-HRAT brochures, which will include detailed text, pictures and video demonstrations of exercises, to visualize the rehabilitation instructions and make them easy to understand. Participants learn how to use the S-HRAT booklet and follow a daily training program to complete the prescribed content. They will be asked to record a video of their training and send it to the researcher via WeChat for monitoring purposes and feedback.

Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of S-HRAT to improve patients' motor function and activities of daily living.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Motor Function — baseline (T0), 8-week post-intervention (T1), and 12-week follow-up (T2).
  The motor function of the patients is measured using the Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) for stroke. MAS is methodologically simple, targeted, and easily generalizable for motor function assessment in stroke patients, as well as reliable and valid. The scale consists of nine items, each of which is scored from 0 to 6 out of 48, with the ninth item not scoring. Higher scores indicate better motor function.
• Balance — baseline (T0), 8-week post-intervention (T1), and 12-week follow-up (T2).
  Balance was measured using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The scale consists of 14 items, including sitting to standing, standing independently, walking independently, and standing to sit, and each item is scored on five functional levels: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. A score of 4 indicates that the action under examination can be performed normally. In contrast, a score of 0 indicates that it cannot be performed or requires significant assistance. The total possible score is 56, with higher scores indicating better balance.
