Balance Clinical Trial
— FAMEOfficial title:
A Randomised Controlled Trial of Family Mediated Exercises (FAME) Following Stroke
The aim of the study is to evaluate the functional recovery in two groups of primary stroke patients presenting with moderate/severe disability over a six month period through the implementation of a randomised controlled trial. The first group or the experimental group will receive routine therapy and additional lower limb exercise therapy in the form of family assisted exercises. The second group or the control group will receive routine therapy with no additional formal input from their family members. A secondary aim of the project is to evaluate the impact of the FAME programme on the person with stroke and the individual (s) assisting in the delivery of exercises.
