Implementation of a HABIT-ILE Intervention at Home for Individuals With Chronic Stroke: a Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial
This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to assess the possible difference between two intensive treatment programs: a classic Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) therapy and a HABIT-ILE therapy implemented at the patient's home. Moreover, this study also aims to assess whether the patient's abilities are better with follow-up than without follow-up after two weeks of HABIT-ILE therapy. The possible difference between the therapies will be studied in terms of functional capacities, activities and social participation.
• Adults with a chronic stroke (older than 6 months)
• Ability to interact and understand simple instructions in order to complete assessments and therapy
• Ability to perform a partial shoulder flexion or abduction, a partial elbow extension, and hold an object in the paretic hand
• Availability of a caregiver for 6h30 per day during two weeks of therapy
