- Original description
This study is designed to better understand how patients with severe stroke move during their hospital stay. It will track their activity using a small wearable device (activPAL) along with standard mobility information already collected in clinical care. The goal is to learn what typical movement patterns look like early after a stroke and how well patients meet mobility goals while in the hospital. What is learned from this study may allow determination of how treatment for stroke patients may be improved to improve patient long-term mobility.Read full original descriptionShow less
RIsEStroke (Recovery Insights Into Early Mobility Post Stroke)
This study is designed to better understand how patients with severe stroke move during their hospital stay. It will track their activity using a small wearable device (activPAL) along with standard mobility information already collected in clinical care. The goal is to learn what typical movement patterns look like early after a stroke and how well patients meet mobility goals while in the hospital. What is learned from this study may allow determination of how treatment for stroke patients may be improved to improve patient long-term mobility.
Inclusion: Adults aged 18 years and older; Hospitalized patients with acute ischemic stroke; Initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 10 or greater; Baseline modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2; Current modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3-5.
Exclusion: Current plans for surgical intervention; Uncontrolled cardiorespiratory dysfunction or disease; Active/uncontrolled seizures; Current or expected End-of-life discussions; Patients with pre-mRS of 3-5; Patients with orthopedic, musculoskeletal, integumentary injury that would prevent safe weight bearing, mobility or equipment use; Isolation status that would prevent mobility outside of the room; Weight that exceeds the safe limits of mobility equipment.
