• 1 other identifier: 2016-104
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 120
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 2

Brief Summary

Patients admitted to the in-patient rehabilitation center with a diagnosis of stroke will be recruited into the study. The participants will wear two activity monitors (one commercial grade and one research grade) for the duration of their rehab stay. Data from the monitors will be correlated with rehab outcomes, therapy units billed, and length of stay.

Conditions

Stroke

Keywords

rehabilitation outcomes; activity level

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Physical Activity Level

  Amount of physical activity each day and throughout rehab stay as measured by 2 activity monitors beginning at admission and ending at discharge from the facility

  from the date of recruitment to the date of discharge or up to 45 days whichever comes first

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• therapy units billed

  from the date of recruitment to the date of discharge or up to 45 days whichever comes first

• Functional Independence Measure (FIM)

  from the date of recruitment to the date of discharge or up to 45 days whichever comes first

Interventions

activity monitors OTHER

activity monitors are worn on the wrist, much like a watch. Data from the activity monitors will be downloaded once a week and at discharge. Normal hospital and therapy activities will not be altered.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 90 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No

Study Population

This study will include only people with a diagnosis of stroke who have been admitted to the in-patient rehabilitation facility "Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging \& Rehabilitation" in Naples, FL. The side of the stroke, the type of the stroke, or a history of prior stroke are not considerations. The study is intended to be very clinically focused to better understand the activity level of the population seen at the facility. This study is purposely not controlling the population to a very narrow presentation so that the results will speak directly to the facility and their outcomes

You may qualify if:

• diagnosis of stroke
• patient at the Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging \& Rehabilitation
• not greater than maximum assistance to walk 10 feet
• walking re-training included in the therapy plan of care

You may not qualify if:

• primary diagnosis other than stroke
• allergy or reaction to the wrist bands of the activity monitors
