Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change from the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (WhoQol-Bref) at 12 weeks

    The quality of life is assessed on the WHOQoL-Bref scale, on a range from 0 to 100 points, where 100 is the highest level of quality of life. For each domain, with the exception of the first two questions, the quality of life was considered to be impaired when a score \<70 points was assigned.

    Twelve weeks

  • Change from the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (WhoQol-Bref) at 24 weeks

    The quality of life is assessed on the WHOQoL-Bref scale, on a range from 0 to 100 points, where 100 is the highest level of quality of life. For each domain, with the exception of the first two questions, the quality of life was considered to be impaired when a score \<70 points was assigned.

    Twenty four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change from the Older Americans Resources and Services (OARS) scale at 12 weeks

    Twelve weeks

  • Change from the Older Americans Resources and Services (OARS) scale at 24 weeks

    Twenty four weeks

Study Arms (3)

Ergonomic adjustment group

EXPERIMENTAL

Ergonomic intervention program at home for post-stroke patients. The ergonomic adjustments made were based on a prior assessment of the patient's needs in this respect, using a purpose-made home inspection form.

Other: Ergonomic adjustments

Kinesiotherapy + ergonomics group

EXPERIMENTAL

A Kinesiotherapy plus ergonomic adjustments program for post-stroke patients. This group received, in addition to the ergonomic adjustments described above, sessions of postural orientation and kinesiotherapy (therapeutic exercises).

Other: Kinesiotherapy plus ergonomic adjustments

Healthcare education

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A conservative intervention program for post-stroke patients

Other: Healthcare education

Interventions

Ergonomic adjustment group

This group received, in addition to the ergonomic adjustments described above, sessions of postural orientation and kinesiotherapy (therapeutic exercises).

Kinesiotherapy + ergonomics group

This group received health education information, based on an illustrated manual with advice for patients with chronic stroke.
