The Efficiency of Video-Based Exercises in Individuals With Stroke

Efficacy of Video-Based Balance and Coordination Exercises in Individuals With Stroke

The aim of the study is to compare the video-based balance coordination exercise program and the video-based conventional exercise program in patients with subacute stroke.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Stroke
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Conventional Exercise Group with Telerehabilitation; Other: Balance Coordination Group with Telerehabilitation

Detailed Description

Thanks to telerehabilitation, it will be possible for individuals to learn the exercise programs in the most appropriate way and to communicate easily with their physiotherapists with video images. In this way, it will be ensured that individuals can perform their exercises at the optimum level in non-clinical environments. The aim of the study is to compare the conventional home exercise program performed with video-based telerehabilitation and the balance coordination program in subacute stroke patients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Conventional Exercise Group with Telerehabilitation; Exercises such as muscle strengthening exercises applied to antigravity muscles, agonist antagonist spastic muscles, stretching exercises for spastic muscles, weight transfer will be applied, and a telerehabilitation platform will be used in the home exercise program.	Other: Conventional Exercise Group with Telerehabilitation; Exercises such as conventional muscle strengthening and stretching given with telerehabilitation are applied.
Experimental: Balance Coordination Group with Telerehabilitation; Sit and stand exercise from chair, standing posture, weight transfer to right and left extremities, stepping over obstacles, standing on one leg with support from the table, standing on two legs with support from the table, hip abduction with support from the table, extension, flexion, supported tandem walking exercises such as stepping on the stairs, standing functional stretches will be applied. Whatsapp application-based Telerehabilitation platform will be used to deliver the home exercise program.	Other: Balance Coordination Group with Telerehabilitation; Functional muscle strengthening, stretching, balance and coordination exercises given with telerehabilitation are applied.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
FES-I	There are 16 items in FES-I that assess the fear of falling during daily activities. FES-I is scored from 0 to 64. Higher scores indicate higher concerns about falling.	Change from Baseline FES-I at 6 weeks
ABC	This scale includes 16 tasks related to indoor and outdoor activities of daily living to measure balance confidence in the elderly with various levels of function. Higher scores indicate more confidence. ABC is scored from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate higher function.	Change from Baseline ABC at 6 weeks
SSEQ	The 13-item SSEQ is used to measure participants' self-efficacy levels in performing daily functional activities and self-management. SSEQ is scored from 0 to 130. Higher scores indicate higher confidence.	Change from Baseline SSEQ at 6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
TSQ	This questionnaire consists of 14 items. The level of satisfaction of the patients with the software or system from which they receive treatment or other remote rehabilitation services is evaluated. TSQ is scored from 14 to 170. Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction.	Change from Baseline TSQ at 6 weeks
