From: Evaluation of a carepartner-integrated telehealth gait rehabilitation program for persons with stroke: study protocol for a feasibility study

Outcome

Definition

Recruitment

Recruitment rates will be the percentage of those participants enrolled and randomized from those screened. Recruitment will be deemed feasible if the target enrollment of 15 dyads (2–3 dyads per month) is reached during the study timeframe

Retention

Retention of participants will be the percentage of dropouts. An acceptable retention rate will be 85% of enrolled participants for completion of post-evaluation (80% for 1-month follow-up)

Intervention adherencea

Carepartner adherence will be the number of modules reviewed (six total modules) as indicated by the reflection questions completed at the end of each section. Criteria for carepartner adherence will be a minimum completion of five of the six modules. Study staff are electronically notified of module completion in real time which allows for reminders to be sent to participants to review modules as needed

Criteria for carepartner and stroke survivor adherence will be > 3.5 h (for two home visits) and CP completion of weeks 2 and 3 phone calls
