Effectiveness Of Stroke Patient's Rehabilitation Model with Thai Traditional Medicine Via Mobile Application and Rehabilitation Manual for Caregivers

Abstract

Stroke is the leading cause of disability. Receiving adequate and ongoing rehabilitation is a way to help them get back to normal. Caregivers and appropriate care processes are necessary for effective restoration. This quasi-experimental research aims to study the effectiveness of the stroke patient rehabilitation model. Participants are 60 pairs of caregivers and ischemic stroke patients in Nakhon Pathom Province, divided into experimental and comparison groups. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed by inferential statistics consisting of independent sample t-tests and paired sample t-tests at a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that after the trial, the experimental group had a higher limb muscle strength, and the level of limb pain was lower than the comparison group. In conclusion, the model of stroke patient rehabilitation with Thai tradition via mobile applications and manual for caregivers is effective in helping patients have better muscle strength and reduce muscle pain.
