“…The results of the study showed that care training can be effective and can improve the health status of the patients. The results of Cordun and Marinescu studies showed that early rehabilitation intervention in patients with stroke can improve the balance of these patients and improve their motion status, which is consistent with the present study [12].…”

“…Considering that more than 60% of stroke survivors experience varying degrees of impairment, rehabilitation should be used as an important part of the health program of these patients in order to improve the quality of life and reduce the destructive impacts of stroke [11]. The rehabilitation process in stroke may take several years [12]. Studies indicated that rehabilitation programs encounter severe constraints due to factors such as high rehabilitation costs and movement constraints in patients, as well as the difficulty in travel and dispersal of rehabilitation centers [9].…”

Background: Stroke is a chronic disease requiring continuous and prolonged rehabilitation. A family-based care program can be an effective approach to rehabilitate these patients. This study aimed to determine the effect of family-based care program on the health status of hemiplegic patients with stroke. Methods: In this clinical trial, 40 hemiplegic stroke patients were randomly selected as available and divided into two intervention and control groups. The patients care providers in the intervention group received the home-based care program in addition to routine care at the time of discharge, for four consecutive sessions of 50 to 60 min. This program then was performed by carers at home for four weeks. The patients in the control group received routine care during the discharge. The health status of patients in both groups was evaluated by health status questionnaire before beginning the program, and then one month after the end of the program. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests in SPSS V.21. Results: The results indicated that the difference between the mean scores of the health status of the two groups was not significant before the intervention; however, it was significant after the intervention (P< 0.05). Moreover, the mean scores after the intervention group were significantly higher than the pre-intervention, and the difference was not significant in the control group. Conclusion: Providing home care training programs to family members and contributing them to patient care programs can increase self-care of the patients and improve their health status.

Background Stroke is a chronic disease requiring continuous and prolonged rehabilitation. A family-based care program can be an effective approach to rehabilitate the patients. This study aimed at determining the effects of family-based care program on the health status of hemiplegic patients with stroke. Methods In this clinical trial, 40 hemiplegic stroke patients were randomly selected through convenience sampling and allocated to experiment and control groups. The patients’ care providers in the experiment group received the home-based care program for four consecutive sessions (50-60min) in addition to the routine care at the time of discharge. The trainings were then performed by care givers at home for four weeks. The patients in the control group received routine cares during the discharge. The health status of patients in the both groups was evaluated using a health status questionnaire before and one months after implementing the program. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS V.21. Results The results indicated that the difference between the mean scores of the health status of the two groups was not significant before the experiment; however, it was significant after the experiment (P< 0.05). The mean scores after the experiment were significantly higher in the experiment group compared to those of the pre-intervention; this difference was not significant in the control group. Conclusion Providing home care education programs to family members and allowing them to contribute to patient care programs can increase self-care of the patients and improve their health status.

“…Stroke survivors are often at least partially dependent on other individuals and/or special equipment in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). 2 This is because both their static and dynamic balance is usually heavily affected, and this increases the incidence of falls. 3 In addition, lack of postural control has the greatest impact on a patients' gait and independent performance of ADLs, and such disability arises from limitations in activities and reduced participation in daily life tasks.…”

Introducion: Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in adults worldwide. The prevalence of stroke in developing countries such as South Africa and Iran is growing, especially in an increasingly younger population. In Iran, the annual stroke incidence ranges from 23 to 103 per 100,000 inhabitants, with the rate being higher in those aged 15-45 years. Problematically, almost 50% of stroke patients face difficulties in performing activities of daily living, hence the importance of functional rehabilitation. These factors necessitate cost-effective solutions in developing countries, where there is insufficient research focused on practical solutions for treatment/rehabilitation. Objective: We hypothesize that while progressive cycling training would activate cortical regions and that cycling speed feedback could lead to additional cortical activations and resultant improvements in cycling performance, combined cycling training and functional electrical stimulation would result in superior improvements in cycling performance, aerobic capacity, and functional performance in post-stroke patients. Conclusions: Ultimately, we expect this hypothesis to provide a useful framework for facilitating combined cycling and functional electrical stimulation rehabilitation research in post-stroke patient populations. Level of Evidence V; Expert opinion.
