Brief Summary

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

Stroke rehabilitation patients are subjected to additional nature-based therapies during a rehabilitation ward period.

Detailed Description

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

Inward stroke rehabilitation patients are selected randomly into two groups: intervention and control groups in proportions 1-2:1. Blood samples and microbiome samples of saliva, skin and feces are taken from all patients prior to interventions. These are controlled after 4 weeks from the beginning of the study and 3 months after signing-off the ward. Questionnaires eg on moods, life quality and function deficits are conducted in the beginning of the study, after 4 weeks from the start and 3 months after signing-off. Physiological measurements will be done to observe autonomic nerve status. The interventions consisting of therapy sessions in the hospital nearby nature will be conducted thrice a week one of them being an individual nature-visit with the research worker, one in group and one with family-member or volunteer. The moods and quality of life of the family-member participating in the study will also be followed up. The control group is advised to do simple, more conventional rehabilitative tasks indoors.
