Client Centred 'Tune-ups': do They Enhance Community Reintegration and Mobility in Stroke Survivors?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating physical rehabilitation for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 103 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Once discharged from hospital many stroke survivors deteriorate medically, physically and in their mobility function and many report their level of function and quality of life to be poor 12 months after inpatient rehabilitation. There is an identified need for follow-up examinations of community dwelling stroke survivors to monitor changes in function and it has been suggested that maintenance therapy could curtail declines in function. The purpose of this trial is to determine whether brief periods of intense client-centered rehabilitation therapy (tune-ups) provided at 6 month intervals can alter the natural progression of impairment (physical capacity), function and community reintegration following stroke.
