Rehabilitation Training Participated by Caregivers in Ischemic Stroke: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial to Test the Effect of Home-based Rehabilitation Intervention on Physical Function

The goal of this clinical randomized control trial is to test the effect of home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregivers on physical function in patients with ischemic stroke ].

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• Dose this kind of intervention method can improve the function of ischemic cerebral apoplexy patients is physical activity?
• Does this intervention reduce the caregiver-related burden of patients with ischemic stroke? Participants will be randomly assigned to: (1) home-based motor rehabilitation training participated by caregivers (intervention group or (2) routine self-care group (control group). Both groups will receive assessment and health guidance on the day of discharge, with the intervention group receiving an additional home-based training program and supervision. The two groups will be followed up every week after discharge.

Researchers will compare two groups to see if has great effects on physical function.
