Brief Summary

Telerehabilitation is an effective rehabilitation method that allows patients to receive physiotherapy remotely in their homes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of home-based remote group training for balance and mobility on activities and body functions.

Conditions

Hemorrhagic Stroke; Ischemic Stroke

Keywords

Stroke; Telerehabilitation; Balance; Mobility

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Change in balance

  Assessed using Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (scale score range 0-28; higher scores mean a better outcome)

  Assessment 1-5 days before and 1-5 days after the training

• Change in limits of stability

  Assessed using a force plate

  Assessment 1-5 days before and 1-5 days after the training

• Change in weight-bearing symmetry

  Assessed using a force plate

  Assessment 1-5 days before and 1-5 days after the training

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Change in mobility

  Assessment 1-5 days before and 1-5 days after the training

• Change in walking speed

  Assessment 1-5 days before and 1-5 days after the training

Other Outcomes (1)

• Satisfaction with the remote training

  Assessed 1-5 days after the training
