What this trial studies
This interventional study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program that incorporates low-impact rhythmic movements and Baduanjin exercises for elderly patients who have suffered a stroke. A total of 60 participants will be randomly assigned to either a study group, which will engage in guided telerehabilitation sessions, or a control group that will perform standard aerobic exercises. The program consists of three sessions per week for three months, with each session lasting 30 minutes and tailored to individual exercise intensity based on perceived exertion. The study seeks to assess improvements in physical function and overall well-being in stroke survivors.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are elderly individuals aged 65 and older who have been diagnosed with stroke and are hemodynamically stable.
Not a fit: Patients with severe sensory impairments, orthopedic or neurological disorders affecting muscle control, or unstable cardiovascular conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance recovery and improve the quality of life for elderly stroke patients through accessible rehabilitation methods.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific combination of telerehabilitation and Baduanjin exercises is novel, similar studies have shown positive outcomes with telerehabilitation approaches for stroke recovery.
