简要总结
This study aims to examine the effect of an action simulation circuit training for individuals who have experienced upper extremity weakness following a stroke. The study will also examine the feasibility of the intervention as an occupational therapy rehabilitation approach.
Participants will:
- Engage in four workstations within the circuit training format: mental practice, action observation, virtual reality, and repetitive task-specific practice.
- Participate in training 2x/week for 6 weeks (12 sessions).
详细描述
Action simulation therapies are particularly advantageous for individuals with upper extremity hemiparesis, by providing opportunities for repetitive practice of functional tasks, that might otherwise be impossible to perform. This research will examine the use of upper extremity action simulation in a circuit training group, to address the unique therapeutic needs and therapy structure deficiencies for upper extremity hemiparesis following a stroke.
Project Objectives:
- Explore the effect of a six-week action simulation upper extremity circuit training group on upper extremity impairments and quality of life for individuals with upper extremity hemiparesis after a stroke.
Upper extremity impairments and quality of life will be assessed before the circuit training and after completion. Additionally, participants will provide information about their overall perceptions of each the intervention through a survey.

结局指标
主要结局
The Acceptability of Intervention Measure
时间窗: Following the 6-week circuit training group.
The Acceptability of Intervention Measure is a survey that measures the participants' perceived acceptability of the intervention. Participants rate their perceptions on a 5-point Likert scale, from completely disagree to completely agree.
Feasibility of Intervention Measure
时间窗: Following the 6-week circuit training group.
The Feasibility of Intervention Measure assesses the participants' perceptions of how feasible the intervention is for stroke rehabilitation. Participants rate their perceptions on a 5-point Likert scale, from completely disagree to completely agree.
Intervention Appropriateness Measure
时间窗: Following the 6-week circuit training group.
The Intervention Appropriateness Measure assesses the participants' perception of how appropriate the intervention is to address upper extremity hemiparesis after a stroke. Participants rate their perceptions on a 5-point Likert scale, from completely disagree to completely agree.
次要结局
- Fugl-Meyer Assessment(Before the circuit training group and following the circuit training group.)
- Stroke Impact Scale(Before the circuit training group and following the circuit training group.)
