About this study

Official title: Rehabilitation Training Participated by Caregivers in Ischemic Stroke: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial to Test the Effect of Home-based Rehabilitation Intervention on Physical Function

The goal of this clinical randomized control trial is to test the effect of home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregivers on physical function in patients with ischemic stroke ].

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

Read more
  • Dose this kind of intervention method can improve the function of ischemic cerebral apoplexy patients is physical activity?
  • Does this intervention reduce the caregiver-related burden of patients with ischemic stroke? Participants will be randomly assigned to: (1) home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregivers (intervention group or (2) routine self-care group (control group). Both groups will receive assessment and health guidance on the day of discharge, with the intervention group receiving an additional home-based training program and supervision. The two groups will be followed up every week after discharge.

Researchers will compare two groups to see if has great effects on physical function.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregiversBehavioural

    The knowledge provider was a multi-disciplinary home-based rehabilitation nursing team, which is composed of advanced practice nurse (APN) who engaged in professional rehabilitation of stroke, neurologists, rehabilitation doctors and physical therapists. Among them, APN mainly carry out and supervise family rehabilitation education and all members are collectively responsible for the adjustment and optimization of the program content. After the assessment is completed, the patient's current functional status will be confirmed. based on this, team members recommend home-exercise items that match the patient's motor function state . In this intervention programme, the content of the intervention was developed based on the recommendations of internationally published guidelines related to the rehabilitation of ischemic patients, with some adjustments to consider the cultural appropriateness of implementation in China.

  • routine self-careBehavioural

    the patients in this group will be routinely given post-discharge health education, such as secondary prevention measures, education on medication adherence, universal guidance on the content of home care, universal rehabilitation-related education such as correct limb positioning, post-discharge precautions, and medical referral-related assistance.

Study groups in NCT06186739
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregiversExperimentalThe patients in this group received face-to-face learning of rehabilitation skills when they were discharged from the hospital. The main learning contents of patients are: how to carry out limb rehabilitation training at home? when to carry out rehabilitation training? and how to choose the most appropriate rehabilitation training content? Members of the rehabilitation nursing team should assist patients in setting rehabilitation goals, help patients make weekly rehabilitation plans, and distribute learning manuals and video learning materials to patients for review at home. The rehabilitation nursing team conducts online follow-up of patients every other week to assess whether patients have achieved short-term goals, adjust or add rehabilitation contents for patients, and reconfirm the intensity of home-based training of patients. answer the questions raised by the patient during the rehabilitation process at home and encourage the patient to maintain rehabilitation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Motor Assessment Scale

    Patient's motor status will be assessed using the Motor Assessment Scale,on which scale has eight areas of motor function, including supine to side lying, supine to sitting over side of bed, balanced sitting, sitting to standing, walking, upper-arm function, hand movements and advanced hand activities.

    Measured: td:on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t2: 2 weeks after discharge; t3: 3 weeks after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Brunnstrom assessment

    It is a common tool used in clinical assessment of motor function in stroke patients.

    Measured: td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t2: 2 weeks after discharge; t3: 3 weeks after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

  2. Modified Barthel Index

    The Barthel Index is used to measure the activities of daily living. It has been widely used in China and more in line with Chinese culture. It is a 10-item scale of basic activities of daily living, focus on self-care (personal hygiene, bathing, feeding, toilet, dressing, bowel control, bladder control) and transfer (ambulation, chair/bed transfers, stair climbing), each item of the scale has five levels of scores and each item is weighted differently.

    Measured: td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

  3. stroke-specific quality of life (SS-QOL)

    The SS-QOL is a scale specifically designed for patients with stroke. There are 12 domains: energy (three items), family role (three items), language use (five items), movement (six items), mood (five items), personal personality (three items), self-help activities (five items), social role (five items), thinking ability (three items), upper limb function (five items), vision (three items), and occupation-production activities (three items).

    Measured: td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

  4. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    The degree of neurological deficit will be assessed by the NIHSS is currently one of the world's most common and easy-to-administer scales for assessing the degree of neurological deficit in stroke patients.

    Measured: td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

  5. Chinese version of the Modified Caregiver Strain Index (C-M-CSI)

    We will us the Chinese version of the Modified Caregiver Strain Index to measure caregiver-related burden.

    Measured: td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge
