Abstract:
Background:
Additional exercise therapy has been shown to positively affect acute stroke
rehabilitation, which requires an effective method to deliver increased exercise. In this study, we
designed a 4-week caregiver-supervised self-exercise program with videos, named “Self rehAbilitation Video Exercises (SAVE)”, to improve the functional outcomes and facilitate early recovery
by increasing the continuity of rehabilitation therapy after acute stroke.
Methods:
This study is a
non-randomized trial. Eighty-eight patients were included in an intervention group (SAVE group),
who received conventional rehabilitation therapies and an additional self-rehabilitation session
by watching bedside exercise videos and continued their own exercises in their rooms for 60 min
every day for 4 weeks. Ninety-six patients were included in a control group, who received only
conventional rehabilitation therapies. After 4 weeks of hospitalization, both groups assessed several
outcome measurements, including the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI),
physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary of the Short-Form Survey
36 (SF-36), Mini-Mental State Examination, and Beck Depression Inventory.
Results:
Differences in
BBS, MBI, and PCS components in SF-36 were more statistically significant in the SAVE group than
that in the control group (p < 0.05). Patients in the SAVE group showed more significant improvement
in BBS, MBI, and PCS components in SF-36 as compared to that in the control group.
Conclusions:
This evidence-based SAVE intervention can optimize patient recovery after a subacute stroke while
keeping the available resources in mind.
