Trial Outcomes & Findings for Community Participation Transition After Stroke (NCT NCT02396589)

NCT ID: NCT02396589

Last Updated: 2025-08-27

Results Overview

We will explore the safety of the intervention by determining the rate and severity of falls (calculated with an algorithm). Scores are as follows: 0, those with no falls, 1, those with one fall without serious injury, 2, those with at least two falls without serious injury, and 3, those with one or more falls causing serious injury. Maximum score of three indicates an increased severity of fall. We will compare the difference in scores between groups using t-tests.

Measure
Education Group
Participants in the Education group receive five 90 minute tailored stroke education sessions in the home. Education Group: Attention will be provided to the control group to ensure they experience the same effects of time and attention but no effect on the outcome of interest.
Home Modifications Group
Participants in the treatment group receive a home assessment and home modifications tailored to functional abilities (pre discharge) and then five 90 minute occupational therapy treatment sessions at home (post discharge) to improve functional abilities and community participation. Home Modifications Group: The standardized components include assessment, identification of five problematic activities (and environmental barriers), identification of three solutions (for each problem), implementation of a solution set selected by the participant, training, and active practice of daily activities in one's own home and community.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: 15 participants were randomized (treatment group n=9 and education group n=6). 12 participants were included in this analysis. One participant in the education group was not able to finish education visits and was excluded from the analysis. Two participants in the treatment group were lost to follow up (drop out due to change in health n=1, drop out due to death n=1), and were excluded from analysis.

We will explore the safety of the intervention by determining the rate and severity of falls (calculated with an algorithm). Scores are as follows: 0, those with no falls, 1, those with one fall without serious injury, 2, those with at least two falls without serious injury, and 3, those with one or more falls causing serious injury. Maximum score of three indicates an increased severity of fall. We will compare the difference in scores between groups using t-tests.
