Official title
Improving Participation in Stroke Survivors With Hemiparesis by Movement Improvisation Skill Building and Care Transition-friendly Adaptive Dance Activities: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Overview
The project will investigate the effects of a novel 12-week Movement Improvisation Skill-building and Adaptive Dance Intervention (MDI) on participation, balance, mobility, balance confidence, psychological well-being, and health-related quality of life in survivors with hemiparesis.
Detailed description
A 2-arm, assessor-blinded, randomised controlled trial will be conducted. Individuals who are 18-80 years old and have hemiparesis after a first-ever/recurrent ischaemic/haemorrhagic stroke will be recruited. The participants will be randomly allocated to the control group receiving usual care or the intervention group receiving MDI and usual care. Based on Bandura's principles of Self-efficacy and Outcome Expectation, MDI is an online/hybrid intervention aimed to assist survivors in developing body awareness, body sense, movement improvisational skills, and abilities in creating mental images of movements and balance during their transition of care from the acute settings to home. The outcomes will be assessed before the intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 3 and 6 months post-intervention.
Interventions
- Other Movement Improvisation Skill-building and Adaptive Dance Intervention
The MDI is a hybrid in-person/online intervention aimed at developing body awareness, body sense, movement improvisational skills, and abilities in creating mental images of movements and balance among stroke survivors with hemiparesis.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in the level of participation in daily and social activities [Time frame: From baseline to immediately, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Change in the level of balancing ability [Time frame: From baseline to immediately, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention]
- Change in the level of mobility [Time frame: From baseline to immediately, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention]
- Change in the level of balance confidence [Time frame: From baseline to immediately, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention]
- Change in the level of psychological well-being [Time frame: From baseline to immediately, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention]
- Change in the level of health-related quality of life [Time frame: From baseline to immediately, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
