Prospective cohort study during post stroke rehabilitation in hospital and municipality. Participants will be measured with accelerometers, tests in relation to physical function and qualitative interviews.
Full description
During and after hospitalization, patients with stroke are subjected to early rehabilitation starting at the hospital stay and continuing after discharge to a municipality. However, the continuity and adherence across sectors is challenged by different locations for the rehabilitation and time gaps from discharge to start in municipality.
This project focuses on the physical activity of patients with stroke measured with 3D accelerometry, the physical performance of the patients measured using the 30 second Chair Stand Test, balance measured with Bergs Balance Scale and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured with the 5-level version of European Quality of Life (EQ5D-5L). Furthermore, the patient perspectives and experiences with the rehabilitation plans are explored in semi-structured interviews at the end of the project.
The municipalities in Nordsjælland have been informed regarding the project and all their approvals have been collected prior to expected start in fall 2022. The heads of rehabilitation in the municipalities have approved participation in the research project with regards to follow-up of patients. The municipalities will support the data collection process with a therapist from each municipality working with quality control of the rehabilitation.
