Improving Participation after Stroke: Self-Management Rehab for Sub-Acute Stroke
Official title: Efficacy of the Improving Participation after Stroke Self-Management-Rehabilitation (IPASS-R) program in sub-acute stroke
Funded at University of Missouri-Columbia · NIH-11381081 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A doctor- and patient-friendly program delivered virtually helps people who recently had a stroke feel more confident, stay active at home, and improve quality of life.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults recently affected by subacute stroke who live in the community and can participate in videoconference sessions.
✕Less likely to help
Patients with severe cognitive or communication impairments or those unable to access virtual visits may derive little or no benefit.
What this research studies
This project tests a self-management program for people with sub-acute stroke, delivered via videoconference. It compares IPASS-R to a general health self-management program to see which better supports daily activities, living well, and community participation. The study recruits about 100 stroke survivors from two sites and follows them over time to measure self-efficacy, activity performance, quality of life, and real-world activity patterns. Outcomes will inform whether a virtual, patient-centered approach can help stroke survivors manage daily life as a long-term condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience greater independence, better daily functioning, and improved well-being after stroke.
How similar studies have gone: Prior self-management programs have improved some health behaviors; IPASS-R builds on this by targeting stroke-specific participation and daily living.
