Changes in caregiver burden among informal caregivers of stroke patients in Mongolia.
This study aimed to define the changes in CGB in the first year of caregiving among the caregivers of stroke patients and to identify associated factors. METHODS: A prospective, multi-centered observational study was conducted in nine public hospitals in Mongolia. We used the Montgomery CGB Scale for assessing CGB, and repeated the assessment after 1 year. Stroke patient characteristics were included in the analyses. Multinomial logistic regressions were conducted to analyze changes in CGB. RESULTS: A paired t-test analysis revealed that demand burden increased (from 12.61 to 11.50, p = 0.034), whereas stress ...

Intensive CIMT training, comprising tasks that require both distal and proximal UE function, may increase shoulder function in patients with a potential functional reserve.
