AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults who had a stroke, either in inpatient rehab or living at home, and healthy adults as a comparison group. All wear body sensors to track recovery.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- Women and men can join.
- Disease stage
- People with a stroke: in inpatient rehabilitation at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, or in the community with a stroke in the past (chronic). A separate group of healthy people with no known significant health problem.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Brain-degenerating illness such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease
- Pregnant or nursing
- Skin allergies or irritation, or open wounds
- Powered implanted heart device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator or LVAD
- Healthy group: past stroke

Wearable Sensor Platform to Monitor Stroke Recovery During Inpatient Rehabilitation
This observational trial seeks to assess the feasibility of using non-invasive, portable, real-time body-worn sensors to continuously monitor, quantify, and interpret recovery during inpatient treatment of stroke
Inclusion: Patient group; Individuals diagnosed with stroke admitted to the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (inpatient), or individuals in the community who had a stroke (chronic); Age 18 or older; Able and willing to give written consent and comply with study procedures; Healthy control group; Individuals without any known significant health problem (healthy controls); Age 18 or older; Able and willing to give written consent and comply with study procedures.
Exclusion: Patient group; Neurological degenerative pathologies as co-morbidities (such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, etc.); Pregnant or nursing; Skin allergies or irritation; open wounds; Utilizing a powered, implanted cardiac device for monitoring or supporting heart function (i.e. pacemaker, defibrillator, or LVAD); Healthy control group; No known history of cerebrovascular accidents or neurological degenerative pathologies (such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, etc.); Pregnant or nursing; Skin allergies or irritation; open wounds; Utilizing a powered, implanted cardiac device for monitoring or supporting heart function (i.e. pacemaker, defibrillator, or LVAD).
