- Original description
This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to assess the possible difference between two intensive treatment programs: a classic "Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities" (HABIT-ILE) therapy and a HABIT-ILE therapy implemented at the patient's home. Moreover, this study also aims to assess whether the patient's abilities are better with follow-up than without follow-up after two weeks of HABIT-ILE therapy. The possible difference between the therapies will be studied in terms of functional capacities, activities and social participation.Read full original descriptionShow less
Implementation of a HABIT-ILE Intervention at Home for Individuals With Chronic Stroke: a Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial
This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to assess the possible difference between two intensive treatment programs: a classic "Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities" (HABIT-ILE) therapy and a HABIT-ILE therapy implemented at the patient's home. Moreover, this study also aims to assess whether the patient's abilities are better with follow-up than without follow-up after two weeks of HABIT-ILE therapy. The possible difference between the therapies will be studied in terms of functional capacities, activities and social participation.
