Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of telerehabilitation on stroke patients' capability to perform ADLs after three months of telerehabilitation intervention. Additionally, the investigators also conducted a survey on the satisfaction of patients after telerehabilitation
Detailed description
The performance of stroke patients' daily living activities (ADLs) is severely affected because of hemiplegia. The consequences of stroke on patients can lead to a financial and welfare burden on society. Thus, it is vital to provide a rehabilitation program to enhance patients' performance in ADLs and help them become more independent. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of telerehabilitation on stroke patients' capability to perform ADLs after three months of telerehabilitation intervention. Additionally, the investigators also conduct a survey on the satisfaction of patients after telerehabilitation. The investigators will recruit 32 stroke patients from five hospitals in Vietnam. All subjects will be provided the three-month treatment that includes video-based rehabilitation and the online meeting section. The investigators will use the Barthel Index (BI) to evaluate the intervention and use the Paired T-test to review the results. Evaluation of the satisfaction of stroke patients with telerehabilitation is conducted by Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire (TSUQ).
Interventions
BEHAVIORALTelerehabilitation for stroke patient
The subjects of the study were intervened by telerehabilitation through video instructions and online group training via Online meeting software. The content of the intervention program included upper limb exercises, transfer, and ambulation functions. This training program was designed based on the clinical practice guidelines for post-stroke physiotherapy management from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the guidelines for the diagnosis, and treatment of rehabilitation stroke patients of the Vietnam Ministry of Health.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The ability to perform several activities of daily living will be assess by Barthel Index (BI) | The patient was assessed using the BI scale at three time points: at the start of the study (discharge), one month after intervention and three months after the intervention | Barthel Index (BI) is a scale that measures the ability to perform several activities of daily living. It consists of 10 items with a total score of 0 (lowest ability) to 100 (highest ability) . The 10 items of the scale refer to the patient's ability to eat, perform personal hygiene, bathe, dress, get on and off the toilet, control the bladder, control the bowels, move from a wheelchair to a bed and back, walk, and climb stairs. |
