Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of telerehabilitation on stroke patients' capability to perform ADLs after three months of telerehabilitation intervention. Additionally, the investigators also conducted a survey on the satisfaction of patients after telerehabilitation

Detailed Description

The performance of stroke patients' daily living activities (ADLs) is severely affected because of hemiplegia. The consequences of stroke on patients can lead to a financial and welfare burden on society. Thus, it is vital to provide a rehabilitation program to enhance patients' performance in ADLs and help them become more independent. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of telerehabilitation on stroke patients' capability to perform ADLs after three months of telerehabilitation intervention. Additionally, the investigators also conduct a survey on the satisfaction of patients after telerehabilitation. The investigators will recruit 32 stroke patients from five hospitals in Vietnam. All subjects will be provided the three-month treatment that includes video-based rehabilitation and the online meeting section. The investigators will use the Barthel Index (BI) to evaluate the intervention and use the Paired T-test to review the results. Evaluation of the satisfaction of stroke patients with telerehabilitation is conducted by Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire (TSUQ).
