NCT07557940 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: STU00103287
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 15
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The investigators want to objectively measure, through the use of accelerometers, the time, movement intensity, and bilaterality of Upper Extremity (UE) activity and see if these improve over the course of therapy.

Conditions

Stroke

Keywords

upper extremity; accelerometry

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Action research arm test

  the ARAT, two sections of the Stroke Impact Scale will be administered via interview format. The two sections (hand and participation in activities at home) will capture each subject's perceived participation related to UE activity.

  change from baseline to post 30 days, and discharge from inpatient hospitalization up to 12 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Stroke Impact Scale (SIS)

  change from baseline at time of enrollment to post 30 days, and discharge from inpatient hospitalization (up to 12 weeks)

• Accelerometry metrics

  change from baseline at time of enrollment to post 30 days, and discharge from inpatient hospitalization (up to 12 weeks)
