Behavioral: home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregivers
Behavioral: routine self-care
Registration Number
NCT06186739
Lead Sponsor
Shantou University Medical College
Brief Summary

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:

* 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.

GroupInterventionDescription
home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregivershome-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregiversThe 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.
routine self-care grouproutine self-careThe control 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.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Motor Assessment Scaletd: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

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.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Brunnstrom assessmenttd: 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

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

Chinese version of the Modified Caregiver Strain Index (C-M-CSI)td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

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

Modified Barthel Indextd: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

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.

stroke-specific quality of life (SS-QOL)td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

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).

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)td: on the first day of intervention after allocation; t1: 1 week after discharge; t4: 4 weeks after discharge

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.
