Effects of Strategy Training for Physical Activity on Executive Functions in Stroke Survivors With Cognitive Impairments: a Phase II Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine if combining strategy training and physical activity (STPA) works to improve executive function in community-dwelling adults with post-stroke cognitive impairment. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does STPA and physical exercise alone lead to greater improvements in executive function among stroke survivors relative to the control intervention with education? * Does STPA outperform physical exercise alone in the efficacy of executive functions? * Do the effects of STPA on executive functions transfer to the global cognition, balance, and activity-participation outcomes? * Do the effects of STPA persist for at least 6 months post-intervention?
Researchers will compare the efficacy of the STPA intervention against physical exercise alone or control intervention with education.
Participants will:
receive STPA, physical activity only, or an education program 2 to 3 sessions per week until finishing 12 sessions.
be assessed clinical outcomes at 5 times: pre-intervention, post-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up.
Inclusion: 18 to 80 years old; A diagnosis of stroke within the past 3 year; Speaking Mandarin; Montreal Cognitive Assessment (maximum=30) < 26; 14 item-Executive Interview > 3; Willing to provide informed consent.
Exclusion: Any conditions that may impede the participation in the study, such as severe aphasia, postoperative immobilization, or major neuropsychiatric diseases; Pre-stroke mRS >1; Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) = 5; 6-level Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale (SGPALS) = 5 or 6; Participating in other interventional study concurrently.
