Key Points

Evaluate the feasibility of a home-based intervention involving community health workers for patients recovering from mild stroke.
Assessed recruitment rates aiming for >0.5 patients per week and retention of >70%.
Measured adherence to intervention at >70%.
Evaluated physical function using the Timed Up and Go test, PROMIS-Physical Function, and step counts.
Achieved recruitment and retention goals as planned.
Notable improvements in fear of falling and physical function metrics observed.

Implication

Pilot trial explores feasibility of at-home training and therapy for overcoming fear and improving physical function after mild stroke.

Abstract

(1) Determine the feasibility of recruiting > 0.5/week and retaining >70% patients with recent mild stroke to participate in CATCHES with > 70% adherence. (2) Explore the effect on fear of falling (FOF) and on physical function measures including Timed Up and Go (TUG), PROMIS-Physical Function, and step count.
