RIsE Stroke Mobility Study

RIsEStroke (Recovery Insights Into Early Mobility Post Stroke)

Who can join

Ages 18 and older · All sexes

Inclusion Criteria:

* 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 Criteria:

* Current or expected End-of-life discussions
* Current plans for surgical intervention
* Patients with pre-mRS of 3-5
* Patients with orthopedic, musculoskeletal, integumentary injury that would prevent safe weight bearing, mobility or equipment use
* Uncontrolled cardiorespiratory dysfunction or disease
* Active/uncontrolled seizures

* Weight that exceeds the safe limits of mobility equipment

About the study

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.
