What this Trial Is About
This study addresses the growing burden of stroke in Singapore and highlights the lack of rehabilitation services for return to work after stroke. Despite functional physical recovery, many stroke survivors experience persistent impairments that hinder return-to-work. To bridge this gap, the study will implement a community-based brain health programme targeting cognitive and vocational outcomes in stroke survivors. Caregivers will also be included due to their critical support role. The study will assess the intervention's feasibility, acceptability, and its impact on cognitive function, return-to-work, neuroplasticity, psychosocial health, fatigue, and self-care.
