Cognitive oriented strategy training augmented rehabilitation (COSTAR) for ischemic stroke: a pilot exploratory randomized controlled study.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To investigate the effect of adding cognitive strategy training to task-specific training (TST), called Cognitive Oriented Strategy Training Augmented Rehabilitation (COSTAR), compared with TST on activity and participation for chronic stroke survivors in an outpatient occupational therapy settingMaterials and methods: We conducted an exploratory, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomized to TST or COSTAR protocol. Our primary outcomes measured activity and participation after stroke: the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS).Results: Forty-four participants were randomized. The COSTAR group had an attrition rate of 50% and an average of 9.8 of 12 s
