Home-based Telehealth Stroke Care: A Randomized Trial for Veterans
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Cerebrovascular Accident
In brief
The purpose of the proposed study is to examine a Tele-rehabilitation (TR) intervention that uses tele-health technology to improve outcomes of stroke patients after discharge to home. The primary aim is to determine the effect of TR on physical function, and secondarily to determine the effect on disability, falls-related self-efficacy, and patient satisfaction.
