Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary objectivespart I of the NeAR study: A.To investigate the feasibility of VSN assessments within the first two weeks after admission inpatient GR, in terms of the following variables: percentage of attended and completed assessments, patients time to complete and experienced barriers and facilitating factors for involved professionals and patients. B.To estimate the proportion of VSN (severity) after stroke during inpatient GR admittance. Primary objectives part II of the NeAR strudy A.To investigate the impact of VSN on patient participation (i.e. involvement in a life situation), six months after admission inpatient GR, when people returned home. B.To investigate the impact of VSN on informal caregiver burden, six months after admission inpatient GR, when people returned home. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary objectives part I of the NeAR study: C. To identify which demographics (e.g. age, sex, level of education) and stroke characteristics (e.g. severity of stroke, side of lesion) are associated with VSN and VSN severity. D. To investigate whether and to what extent outcomes of the various VSN tests differ with respect to VSN outcomes (e.g. numbers of positive/negative VSN outcomes, outcomes by degree of VSN severity). Secundary objectives part II of the NeAR study: None | — |
