Resumo
BACKGROUND: Stroke represents one of the most costly and long-term
disabling conditions in adulthood worldwide and there is a need to determine
the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs in the late phase after stroke.
Limited scientific support exists for training incorporating rhythm and music
as well as therapeutic riding and well-designed trials to determine the
effectiveness of these treatment modalities are warranted. METHODS/DESIGN: A
single blinded three-armed randomized controlled trial is described with the
aim to evaluate whether it is possible to improve the overall health status and
functioning of individuals in the late phase of stroke (1-5 years after stroke)
through a rhythm and music-based therapy program or therapeutic riding. About
120 individuals will be consecutively and randomly allocated to one of three
groups: (T1) rhythm and music-based therapy program; (T2) therapeutic riding;
or (T3) control group receiving the T1 training program a year later.
Evaluation is conducted prior to and after the 12-week long intervention as
well as three and six months later. The evaluation comprises a comprehensive
functional and cognitive assessment (both qualitative and quantitative), and
questionnaires. Based on the International classification of functioning,
disability, and health (ICF), the outcome measures are classified into six
comprehensive domains, with participation as the primary outcome measure
assessed by the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS, version 2.0.). The secondary outcome
measures are grouped within the following domains: body function, activity,
environmental factors and personal factors. Life satisfaction and health
related quality of life constitute an additional domain. CURRENT STATUS: A total
of 84 participants were randomised and have completed the intervention.
Recruitment proceeds and follow-up is on-going, trial results are expected in
early 2014. DISCUSSION: This study will ascertain whether any of the two
intervention programs can improve overall health status and functioning in the
late phase of stroke. A positive outcome would increase the scientific basis
for the use of such interventions in the late phase after stroke. TRIAL
