Efficacy of Caregivers Training in Rehabilitation of Stroke Survivors in Bangladesh: A Quasi-experimental Study.

Background:  A proper rehabilitation program may prevent post-stroke neurological, structural, and functional disabilities. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of caregiver training in the rehabilitation of stroke survivors and compare rehabilitation interventions done by the therapist.

Methods:  This quasi-experimental study was conducted among 67 stroke survivors divided into group A (home-based exercise by family caregivers; n=33) and group B (hospital-based supervised exercise by a physiotherapist; n=34).
