Scientific titleA survey and feasibility randomised clinical trial (RCT) of predischarge occupational therapy home visits for stroke patients
Study acronymHOVIS
Study objectivesThis study aims to investigate the effects of predischarge occupational therapy home visits for stroke patients. These visits are a common component of occupational therapy practice, yet relatively little research has been completed. We wish to conduct a feasibility study in order to test whether randomisation is acceptable to patients and clinicians and thus whether a multi-centre trial would be possible in order to examine the effectiveness and costs of such visits.
