Task-Specific Self-Rehabilitation Training (TASSRET) Trial
Study Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Task-Specific Self-Rehabilitation Training (TASSRET) for Improving Functional Mobility in Community-Dwelling Stroke Survivors in a Low-Resource Setting
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this pilot RCT is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Task-specific Self-rehabilitation Training (TASSRET) program and compare the effect of the two formats of the TASSRET (video vs manual) on functional ability (upper extremity fine and gross motor skills, upper extremity manual dexterity and speed, voluntary movement and basic mobility, gait velocity, balance) and health-related quality of life among Hausa-native stroke survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the immediate effect and durability of TASSRET on functional ability (upper extremity fine and gross motor skills, upper extremity manual dexterity and speed, voluntary movement and basic mobility, gait velocity, balance) and health-related quality of life among the Hausa-native stroke survivors? 2. Which of the self-rehabilitation formats (TASSRET-manual or TASSRET-video) is more effective (immediate and durable) at improving functional ability (upper extremity fine and gross motor skills, upper extremity manual dexterity and speed, voluntary movement and basic mobility, gait velocity, balance) and health-related quality of life among the Hausa-native stroke survivors?
