Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of the clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of two home ergonomics programmes, by reference to a control group, on functional capacity and quality of life in post-stroke patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For post-stroke patients, rehabilitation must address different aspects. When the resulting condition has become established, treatment should take the form of a mixed intervention model, incorporating preventive, rehabilitational and compensatory or adaptive approaches, aimed at enhancing the patient's performance within the environment. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are key disciplines in the composition of multi- and inter-disciplinary teams for the care of stroke patients. In this clinical trial we evaluate the effectiveness of two programmes of ergonomic intervention in the home, with respect to levels of functionality (performance of activities of daily living) and the quality of life of post-stroke patients, by reference to a control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ergonomic adjustment group

Ergonomic intervention program at home for post-stroke patients. The ergonomic adjustments made were based on a prior assessment of the patient's needs in this respect, using a purpose-made home inspection form.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ergonomic adjustments

Intervention Type OTHER

The ergonomic adjustments made were based on a prior assessment of the patient's needs in this respect, using a purpose-made home inspection form .

Kinesiotherapy + ergonomics group

A Kinesiotherapy plus ergonomic adjustments program for post-stroke patients. This group received, in addition to the ergonomic adjustments described above, sessions of postural orientation and kinesiotherapy (therapeutic exercises).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesiotherapy plus ergonomic adjustments

Intervention Type OTHER
