Optimizing Activity Performance of Stroke Patients Through Caregiver-Assisted Rehabilitation With Strategy Training: A Feasibility Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (3) locations...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this study is to examine the feasibility of delivering an innovative intervention, caregiver-assisted strategy training (CaST), targeting enhancing activity functions in community-dwelling adults after stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is CaST acceptable to stroke survivors with functional limitations? * Does CaST show positive effects on functional outcomes? Researchers will compare the CaST program to a control education program to investigate the interventional effect size for the selected stroke participants. Participants will: * Receive CAST or an education program 1 to 2 sessions per week until finishing 10 sessions. * Be assessed clinical outcomes at 4 times: pre-intervention, post-intervention, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up. * Be interviewed once after finishing their intervention.

Participants
Target number of participants: 30
Treatments
Experimental: Caregiver-Assisted Strategy Training
Trained therapists visit each participant once or twice weekly for 60 minutes per visit. In a total of 10 sessions over a maximum of 10 weeks, CaST program includes the following active ingredients: self-selected activity-based goals, dynamic performance analysis, global strategy (Goal-PlanDo-Check), massed practice, variable practice, increasing task difficulty, explicit and implicit feedback, guided discovery, action observation, and social interaction.
Sham_comparator: Education
Participants receive a dose-matched stroke education with 10 visits by well-trained research staff through face-to-face talks.
