How Realistic Are Caregivers' Expectations in Determining Rehabilitation Goals for Subacute Stroke Patients?

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are examining how well patients recovering from stroke and their physical therapists achieve their rehabilitation goals, and how realistic caregivers' expectations are regarding these outcomes. The study focuses on patients who have experienced ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke within the past six months. The goal is to improve the process of setting rehabilitation objectives for stroke survivors. Participants will undergo a conventional rehabilitation program tailored individually to each patient. The study will observe participants during the rehabilitation period, assessing progress at the start and after four weeks. Caregivers' expectations will be compared with actual rehabilitation results to understand alignment or differences. During the study, evaluations include the Goal Attainment Scale, Functional Ambulation Scale, and Modified Barthel Index measured on the first day and after four weeks of rehabilitation. Participants and their caregivers will be monitored closely to track rehabilitation progress, functional walking ability, and daily living activities. The study aims to contribute valuable insights into goal setting and rehabilitation planning for stroke patients over the course of these assessments.
