Evaluation of an Intervention Program Targeted at Improving Balance and Functional Skills After Stroke

Cerebrovascular Accident Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evaluation of an Intervention Program Targeted at Improving Balance and Functional Skills After Stroke - a Randomized Controlled Study

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a 5-week intervention program targeted at improving balance and functional skills for people with stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

Many people with stroke experience a deterioration in balance and a functional decline due to hemiplegic muscle strength. This tend to restrict the persons activity in daily life and also leads to a low falls self efficacy.

High intensity exercise have shown to be effective for improving strength and balance for older people in general living in residential care facilities. It is interesting to see if this high intensity exercise also is applicable in the older stroke population.

Comparison: An intervention group receives three training sessions per week and one theory session per week during 5 weeks, compared to a control group that receives one theory session per week during 5 weeks. ;

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Outcomes Assessor)
