Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation in Improving Walking and Balance Among Stroke Survivors?
Could Telerehabilitation be a Promising Tool in Improving Walking and Balance Among Stroke Survivors? "Case Study"
Studie Overzicht
Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Background: Rehabilitation program is commonly provided after stroke to improve functional outcomes. A good rehabilitation program may not be accessible for all individuals living with stroke due to cost, transportation and compliance. Telerehabilitation is an alternative health care program that has been used to provide therapy for stroke survivors living in rural areas. With COVID-19 pandemic, many stroke survivors have lost their access to rehabilitation. Therefore, telerehabilitation may help in overcoming this issue. In this study we aim to find if the use of telerehabilitation in Saudi Arabia would improve balance and walking in stroke survivors during this pandemic.
Methods: 2 stroke survivors ( male and female/ >6 months post stroke) are included in this case study. Participants will receive a task-specific activity training (3days/week moderate exercises for 4 weeks) Both participants will provide feedback through questionnaires pre and post the 4 weeks intervention. We will use the Activities- specific balance confidence (ABC) scale, Lower limb functional scale (LEFS) and Stroke severity quality of life scale ( SS-Qol).
• Intervention: The participants will follow a home-based exercise through videos with follow up from the therapists for 4 weeks.
