Active Balance and Cardio Care Intervention on Physical and Cardiovascular Health in People With Chronic Stroke
Sponsored by University of Illinois at Chicago
About this study
Neurological impairment such as stroke is a leading cause of adult disability. Traditional rehabilitative therapies can help regain motor function and ameliorate disability. There are increasing community and other facilities offering rehabilitation in the form of conventional, recreational and alternative therapy. However, the implementation of these conventional therapy techniques in individuals with a neurological disorder like stroke is tedious, resource-intensive, and costly, often requiring transportation of patients to specialized facilities. Based on recent evidence suggesting significant benefits of repetitive, task-orientated training, investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility of an alternative therapies such as exergaming-based therapy to improve overall physical function of community-dwelling individuals with neurological impairments, compared to conventional therapeutic rehabilitation. This pilot study aims to systematically obtain data on compliance and efficacy of a randomized controlled trial. The objective of the study is to determine the safety, feasibility, compliance and efficacy of exergaming therapy to improve overall physical function of community-dwelling chronic stroke individuals.
