Telerehabilitation and Occupational Performance in Stroke
Effects of Telerehabilitation on the Occupational Performance of Stroke Patients Treated by an Occupational Therapy Service: a Randomized Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of using telerehabilitation (remote care) by occupational therapists on improving the performance and recovery of patients within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) who have suffered a stroke and are on a waiting list for specialized rehabilitation care. The main question it seeks to answer is: * What are the effects of occupational therapy services provided through telerehabilitation for the population with stroke sequelae? * Do the guidelines provided by telerehabilitation result in improved occupational performance (ability to perform activities of daily living) of the participants? The researchers compare an experimental group (receiving telerehabilitation treatment) with a waitlist group (which will remain on the waitlist without receiving a specific intervention). Participants are required to: * Answer a sociodemographic questionnaire; * Participate in assessments using standardized scales on basic and instrumental activities of daily living and use of the affected limb (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, Katz Scale, and Motor Activity Log). * Receive and apply Occupational Therapy guidelines (if in the intervention group).
