Summary

Stroke survivors with arm paresis because of stroke use their "good" arm for daily activities, but in doing so may be self-limiting their own recovery of the "bad" arm. Traditional models of stroke rehabilitation fail to fully engage the survivor and care partner(s) in actively planning post-discharge habits that improve their capacity to live well over their entire lives. This study will test a cutting-edge in-person therapy + online training program designed to progressively transfer the responsibility of driving post-stroke recovery from the therapist to the survivor.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	TEAACH	TEAACH e-learning: 3-months of online educational modules include neuroscience education (based on an effective pain educational model37) to improve patient self-efficacy, and strategy-training38 to improve patients' problem-solving abilities for at-home arm use. The course is live on the MUSC MoodleCE platform. TEAACH in-clinic therapy: 24 in-clinic sessions; 3 times/week for 4 weeks (month 1), 2 times/week for 4 weeks (month 2) and 1 time/week for 4 weeks (month 3) with 200 movement repetitions per session. In our RCTs, this therapy dose required \~1.0-1.5 hours/session. A critical element of TEAACH is the focus on linking in-clinic therapy to out-of-clinic real world paretic arm use via MoodleCE Learning Activities.
