Stroke Clinical Trial
Official title:
Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of MBSR on Motor Learning, Attention, and Quality of Life in Stroke Patients and Their Relatives- a Monocentric Study
The main purpose of the study is to find out if MBSR (Mindfulness) in addition to occupational therapy, can improve the therapeutic results in stroke-patients and help relatives of stroke patients to improve their quality of life.

Primary | Wolf Motor Function Test | The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) quantifies upper extremity (UE) motor ability through timed and functional tasks (Wolf et al., 1995). The first 6 items involve timed functional tasks, items 7-14 are measures of strength, and the remaining 9 items consist of analyzing movement quality when completing various tasks. Performance is rated on a scale (Wolf et al., 2005) from 1("does not attempt with UE being tested") to 6 ("appears normal"). Lower scores indicate lower functioning levels. Since a maximum of 120 s is allocated to each item, it is estimated to take approximately 30 min with additional time for measuring grip strength (item 14). | 20min | |
Primary | Motor Activity LOG (MAL) | The MAL is a scripted structured interview to measure real-works upper extremity function. Patients have to assess their capabilities of the upper limb in terms of How often do they use the affected limb in their everyday live and How would they evaluate the quality of the use? (Taub et al, 2011) |
Time of performance: ca. 15 min | |
Primary | Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) | The purpose of the AMPS is to evaluate a person's quality of performance of personal or instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) by observing the person doing the task (e.g. cooking a pancake, put on socks, etc.) The AMPS is used to test a person in a relevant and familiar environment as he or she performs ADL tasks that have been prioritized by the client. It measures the degree to which a person's ADL task performances are free of increased clumsiness or physical effort, decreased efficiency, safety risk, and/or need for assistance. It is possible to score the quality of 16 ADL motor and 20 ADL process performance skills and facilitate occupation-focused documentation and occupation-based intervention planning.

Primary | ASPA (Attention and Performance Self-Assessment) | The purpose of the self-assessment questionnaire ASPA is to evaluate and analyse a person's memory and attention that is necessary in everyday tasks. | 5min | |
Primary | WHOQoL-BREF (for patients and caregivers) | The WHOQOL-BREF instrument comprises 26 items, which measure the following broad domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. The WHOQOL-BREF is a shorter version of the original instrument that may be more convenient for use in large research studies or clinical trials. The WHOQOL-BREF self-assessment was completed, together with socio-demographic and health status questions. Analyses of internal consistency, item-total correlations, discriminant validity and construct validity through con?rmatory factor analysis, indicate that the WHOQOL-BREF has well to excellent psychometric properties of reliability and performs well in preliminary tests of validity. These results indicate that overall, the WHOQOL-BREF is a sound, cross-culturally valid assessment of QOL (Skevington et al, 2004). |

Primary | EQ-5D | EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. EQ-5D is designed for self-completion by respondents and is ideally suited for use in postal surveys, in clinics, and in face-to-face interviews. It is cognitively undemanding, taking only a few minutes to complete. Instructions to respondents are included in the questionnaire (Oemar et al., 2013) | 5 min | |
Primary | Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure (PRISM) (patients and caregivers) | The PRISM is a tool used to represent the burden of an illness graphically.in relation to oneself and one's life measured with the Self-Illness-Separation (SIS) instrument (Streffer et al., 2009; Kassardjian et al., 2008) | 10min | |
Primary | Burden Scale of family caregivers BSFC (Häusliche Pflegeskala) only caregivers | The Burden Scale of Family Caregivers (BSFC) is a 28-item questionnaire developed ot measure the levels of perceived burden of family caregivers. The BSFC is designed for use to identify individual caregiver service needs, plan intervention, and evaluate progress in clinical practice. to evaluate service effectiveness of a program and to predict caregiver health and caregiving situation in research studies. |
10min | |
Secondary | Semi-structured Interview (patients and caregivers) | Different topics that are important for the patients and the caregivers will be discussed e.g. Change in family-roles and relationship, handling of dependencies Daily burden, strain, daily problems Coping strategies Etc. |
