Telerehabilitation Program Bases Aerobic and Baduanjin Exercises in Post Stroke Elderly Patients

It is an interventional study in which 68 stroke patients are estimated to be enrolled according to random allocation and will be divided into two groups. The study group participants will be involved in Telerehabilitation sessions, which will be based on aerobic exercises, guided by video with the Baduanjin exercise program; the control group will receive the same aerobic exercises only

About this study

It is an interventional study in which 68 stroke patients are estimated to enroll according to random allocation and will be divided into two groups. The study group participants will be involved in telerehabilitation sessions based on aerobic exercises guided by video. The telerehabilitation program will be moderately intense aerobic exercise 3 times per week and will be 3 sessions/week for 3 months.

. The exercise intensity of each telerehabilitation session will be individually adjusted by the participants' Modified Borg perceived exertion and maximum heart rate. The Baduanjin exercise program is delivered individually, at each patient's home, through telerehabilitation, with direct remote supervision by a physiotherapist. The control group will receive the same aerobic exercises only.

Primary outcomes

  1. six-minute walk test

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    The 6MWT is a reliable and good measure of functional capacity. The test will be carried out according to the guidelines set forth by the American Thoracic Society (ATS).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cognitive function

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    mini mental state examination

  2. sleep quality

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

  3. functional independence measure

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    FIM was developed to measure the ability of stroke patients to do daily tasks to assess changes in their functional status. The 18 items consist of 13 items that define a motor ability disorder

  4. physical function

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    physical performance battery

  5. berg balance scale

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    A common, standardized tool for assessing balance in stroke patients is the BBS. The scale has 14 components, including transfers, standing on one leg, standing to sitting, standing without assistance, and sitting to standing.
