Feasibility of a live-stream group dance intervention with inpatients in subacute post-stroke rehabilitation: A pilot study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Stroke rehabilitation settings are increasingly seeking to add complementary therapies to disciplinary interventions to intensify and optimize post-stroke care, particularly during the first three months following the stroke. Dance-based interventions have been studied in this context, but the challenges of space availability in rehabilitation settings can hinder such interventions. As telerehabilitation services become more widespread, it is worth considering whether dance could be offered online in patients' rooms. Purpose: We sought to co-develop a live-stream group dance intervention with clinicians and test its feasibility in subacute post-stroke rehabilitation. Methods: This two-part qualitative study combined collaborative research with a pilot study. Clinicians (n=7), patients (n=6) and personal support workers/PSWs (n=5) were recruited. The patients were undergoing subacute rehabilitation post-stroke (≤21 days) and were recruited using inclusive criteria. Data were collected through focus groups (n=3) with clinicians, video recordings of dance sessions, a research journal, and semi-structured interviews with patients and PSWs. Data analysis combined analytical questioning and thematic analysis. Results: After identifying safety concerns, dance content was developed for six movement categories, including "body awareness", "breathing", and "stretching". Technical factors (Internet and software connection issues) and environmental factors (ambient noises and sound of music) significantly hindered the intervention. The use of high-gain wireless USB adapters and noise-cancelling headphones were the main solutions applied to improve the intervention and limit the need for PSW assistance. Conclusions: A live-stream group dance intervention is feasible for adding therapy hours in subacute post-stroke rehabilitation but requires controlling environmental factors and ensuring favourable technical conditions.
