Implementation of a HABIT-ILE Intervention at Home for Chronic Stroke
Sponsor: Université Catholique de Louvain
Summary
This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to assess the possible difference between two intensive treatment programs: a classic "Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities" (HABIT-ILE) therapy and a HABIT-ILE therapy implemented at the patient's home. Moreover, this study also aims to assess whether the patient's abilities are better with follow-up than without follow-up after two weeks of HABIT-ILE therapy. The possible difference between the therapies will be studied in terms of functional capacities, activities and social participation.

Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) implemented at the patient home
The HABIT-ILE therapy at home will follow the same principles as the classic HABIT-ILE. The therapy will take place in the patient's home and a close person (caregiver) will accompany the patient during the therapy. A device will be used to facilitate the implementation of home therapy. Supervision of the therapeutic process will be done remotely by a team of trained supervisors. One hour of remote supervision per day will be scheduled within 6.5 hours of therapy.
Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE)
HABIT-ILE ("Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy including Lower Extremities") is an intensive therapy that continuously incorporates postural control and LE function. This motor learning-based approach include specificity of the practice, motivation, shaping of the task, intensive blocks of training and Hands-Off. Moreover, the therapy is goal-oriented to increase functional independence during daily living.
Follow-up Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) at the patient's home
HABIT-ILE follow-up at home follow the same principles as classic HABIT-ILE but is delivered at the patient home with 1 hour per day (4 hours per week in autonomy and 1 hour per week under supervision).
Usual care
Usual care is all the weekly physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions that the patient usually receives.
