Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Mini Mental State Examination	Baseline	Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a 30-point scale ranging from 0 to 30, where higher scores indicate better cognitive function.
Brunnstrom Stages of Hemiplegic Recovery	Baseline	Motor recovery was assessed using the Brunnstrom Stages of Hemiplegic Recovery for the upper extremity, hand, and lower extremity, which classify motor function into six sequential stages (Stage I-VI), with higher stages indicating better motor recovery.
The Satisfaction with Life Scale	Baseline	Life satisfaction was assessed using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a five-item scale with total scores ranging from 5 to 35, where higher scores indicate greater life satisfaction.
Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36)	Baseline	Health-related quality of life was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), which yields scores ranging from 0 to 100 for each domain, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life.
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support	Baseline	Perceived social support was assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), a 12-item scale with total scores ranging from 12 to 84, where higher scores indicate greater perceived social support.
Modified Mini-Mental State Examination for Illiterate Individuals	Baseline	Cognitive function was assessed using the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS), which yields scores ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
