ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how effective telerehabilitation—online physical therapy—can be for stroke patients in helping them perform daily activities better. Researchers want to see if patients who receive this type of rehabilitation for three months can improve their ability to carry out daily tasks, like dressing or cooking. They will also ask patients about their satisfaction with the telerehabilitation experience to understand how they feel about this method of care.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be over 18 years old and have had their first stroke with moderate impairment, which is measured using a specific scale. They should have a caregiver to assist them during the study and access to a smartphone or computer with internet for virtual sessions. Patients who have severe cognitive issues or other conditions that limit movement will not be included. If you or a loved one meets these criteria, this trial could provide a valuable opportunity to improve daily living skills after a stroke while using convenient online support.
