Home-Based Stroke Rehabilitation Using Enriched Environments (PEER-HOMEcare)
Pedagogy and Enriched Environment for Rehabilitation in the Home After Stroke (PEER-HOMEcare): Study Protocol for a Single-Group Feasibility Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the PEERHOMEcare intervention is a feasible and acceptable methodology that may have the potential to improve recovery for adults who are recovering from stroke and receiving rehabilitation at home. PEERHOMEcare adapts research on enriched environments to support brain recovery by creating stimulating and supportive home rehabilitation settings and by involving healthcare professionals and family members. The main questions it aims to answer are whether the PEERHOMEcare approach is feasible to implement in home-based stroke rehabilitation in Norway, Sweden, and Latvia, and whether it improves patient engagement and participation in rehabilitation during the first six months after stroke. Researchers will assess the delivery of the PEERHOMEcare approach to see if the intervention is feasible and acceptable and if the educational material can be used to improve engagement and recovery. Participants will receive home-based stroke rehabilitation, work with project therapists and family members to adapt their home environment to support rehabilitation activities, and complete assessments and follow-up visits to measure engagement, upper limb motor recovery, and feasibility of the intervention.
