Community Health Worker Assisted Task Specific and Cognitive Therapy at Home With Exposure After Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
CATCHES is a novel intervention for preliminary testing, integrating Task Specific Therapy at home guided by Community Health Workers (CHW) under supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist (PT) guided by telehealth based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reduce task specific fears through repetitive exposure and adaptive behavioral activation strategies and facilitate engagement in physical activity. 1. To integrate and establish feasibility of CATCHES intervention. Hypothesis: A multidisciplinary team providing home based TST with exposure therapy tailored to an underserved urban setting will inform a patient-centered behavioral intervention to reduce fear of falling (FOF) among post-acute stroke patients returning home. Feasibility outcomes will include recruitment, retention, and fidelity of implementation. 2. Test effects of the intervention on hypothesized treatment mechanism of fear of falling. Hypothesis: Therapy will reduce task specific fear of falling Primary outcome will be change in Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale. 3. Explore physical activity measures subjectively and objectively. Exploratory outcomes include pre and post Timed Up and Go test, patient reported outcome surveys and activity as measured by wearable devices.
