ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how stronger and more focused occupational therapy can help people who have had a stroke become more independent in their daily activities, like getting dressed, eating, and bathing. The researchers want to see if this intensified therapy can improve the ability of participants to perform these basic tasks on their own.

To join the study, participants must be adults aged 65 to 74 who have experienced their first stroke and need help with at least four out of six daily activities. Unfortunately, those who do not understand Danish will not be able to participate. If eligible, participants can expect to receive specialized therapy designed to enhance their daily living skills, and they'll be helping researchers learn more about how to improve recovery after a stroke. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so there is an opportunity to contribute to important research in stroke rehabilitation.
