Activity Levels and Rehabilitation Outcomes of Patients Post-stroke

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.

Primary outcomes

Physical Activity Level

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

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

Secondary outcomes

therapy units billed

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

therapy units are billed 15 minute time blocks; the number of each type of unit will be assessed at discharge from the facility
