| Scientific title | A neuropsychological approach to dressing versus the conventional approach (commonly used by occupational therapists in the UK in patients after stroke |
| Study acronym | DRESS |
| Study objectives | The ability to dress oneself is often taken for granted by the able bodied, yet this intimate task remains a problem for 36% of stroke patients who still cant dress independently at one year after the onset of stroke. Although a simple problem solving approach to dressing problems has been demonstrated to be effective, it is known that therapists are still unaware of the best methods to teach patients to overcome their dressing problems if they have accompanying cognitive difficulties. In the DRESS study our aim is to conduct a two part study. The first part will develop a definitive treatment manual for the cognitive impairments most commonly affecting dressing performance. The second part will be a feasibility randomised controlled trial. This trial will compare a neuropsychological approach (n = 35) to dressing, with the conventional approach (n = 35) commonly used by occupational therapists in the UK. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Nottingham Research Ethics Committee 1 approved on the 13th November 2007 (ref: 07/H0403/130) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Topic: Stroke Research Network; Subtopic: Rehabilitation; Disease: Community study |
| Intervention | Patients are randomised to one of two treatment groups: Group 1: Routine care which involves the provision of standard dressing practice as given by occupational therapists in the UK Group 2: neuropsychological intervention dressing practice as prescribed by a newly compiled manual. Both interventions are described in 2 study treatment manuals. Treatment for both groups is assigned 3 x per week for 6 weeks duration. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Dressing ability as assessed on the Nottingham Stroke Dressing Assessment (NDSA), collected at baseline and outcome (8 weeks after randomisation) |
| Secondary outcome measures | Measured 8 weeks after randomisation: 1. NSDA 2. Line cancellation 3. Gesture imitation 4. 10 hole peg test 5. Object decision |
