Feasibility Study of Caregiver-Assist Strategy Training

CaST is a home-based rehabilitation that guides both stroke survivors and their caregivers to implement strategy training for addressing real-life limitations after stroke. During the intervention, the caregiver not only supervises the participant but also co-participates in the practice by instructing on when and how to be an assistant and facilitator when the stroke survivor executes their practice plan.

Stroke-related information and knowledge that includes stroke subtypes and their etiology, risk factors of primary and secondary stroke, healthy lifestyles, common sequela, and adaptive skills for impaired functions are provided.
