ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a special approach called the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) to see how well it helps adults over 45 years old who have had a stroke or a brain injury. The main goal is to find out if this method can improve their ability to carry out daily activities and enhance their quality of life compared to standard rehabilitation practices. Participants will learn how to set goals based on what matters most to them, receive personalized education and training, and practice skills with the support of therapists.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have had a stroke or a traumatic brain injury, be transitioning from a hospital to community rehabilitation, and have at least one difficulty with daily activities. Those with conditions like dementia or drug abuse, or who do not speak or understand Danish, will not be included. If you or a loved one join the study, you can expect structured sessions focusing on problem-solving and skill development, as well as some homework to reinforce what you've learned. The trial aims to provide deeper insights into how this innovative approach can aid recovery in a real-world rehabilitation setting.
