About this trial
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.
Eligibility 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

Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
activPAL device
DeviceThe activPAL measures physical activities. When a Participant moves, it moves generating totals for the time spent lying, sitting, standing and stepping, every second of the day.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Achievement of the Johns Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility (JH-HLM) goal based on the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) score
Proportion of participants who achieve the daily JH-HLM mobility goal derived from the AM-PAC "6-Clicks" score during hospitalization.
Secondary outcomes
Frequency of daily achievement of the JH-HLM goal
Number of times per day the participant achieves the JH-HLM mobility goal during hospitalization.
