A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study recruits outpatient participants who have recently experienced a stroke and provides them with complimentary rehabilitation focused on nature interventions. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which engages in therapeutic activities in natural settings, or a control group that maintains light physical activity. The intervention group receives structured support that includes ergo- and physiotherapeutic tasks along with neurocognitive exercises, all conducted in an ecopsychotherapeutical framework. The study lasts for four weeks, with regular contact from research workers to encourage participation and monitor progress.
