Trial summary

Being active early after stroke prevents secondary complications, reduces hospital length of stay and improves long-term functional outcomes. Early mobilization and early rehabilitation are the means to achieve activity at the early phase post-stroke. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Motor Activity and Its Barriers at the Early Phase Post-stroke.

Being active early after stroke prevents secondary complications, reduces hospital length of stay and improves long-term functional outcomes. Early mobilization and early rehabilitation are the means to achieve activity at the early phase post-stroke. Performance of out-of-bed activity at an acute care setting is partially dependent on the routines used in the acute care setting, however, knowledge the knowledge about associations between clinical routines and the characteristics of out-of-bed activity is limited. Also, there is limited knowledge about institutional barriers to such activity.

Accordingly, the goal of the current study is, in acute hospital inpatient setting, to: 1) characterize stroke patients' activity according to shifts (i.e. morning and evening), 2) test associations between out-of-bed activity and patients' clinical status and 3) identify barriers to activity.

The study is a prospective observational study that monitors physical activity in people after stroke while they in an acute stroke care setting, and records berries for out-of-bed activity including being in sitting or standing and walking.

Patients are included if they admitted to the hospital within 48 hours of symptom onset, passed routine initial neurologic and nursing examinations within 48 hours of admission, and have score of 5-18 on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Patients are excluded if they had hemorrhagic stroke, and if they have heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, unstable hemodynamics and fractures, or if they are terminally ill.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time in sitting according to shift (i.e. morning or evening).

    Body position is measured by activity monitor located at the lumbar spine.

    Measured: Two weeks from admission or or until discharge.

  2. Number of steps according to shift (i.e. morning or evening).

    Number of steps is recorded by activity monitor located at the lumbar spine.

    Measured: Two weeks from admission or or until discharge.

  3. Barriers for getting out of bed.

    Barriers are documented daily in a follow-up table.

    Measured: Two weeks from admission or or until discharge.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Longest sitting time according to shift (i.e. morning or evening).

    Body position is measured by activity monitor located at the lumbar spine.

    Measured: Two weeks from admission or or until discharge.

  2. Longest walking time according to shift (i.e. morning or evening).

    Walking time is recorded by activity monitor located at the lumbar spine.

    Measured: Two weeks from admission or or until discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by University of Haifa at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time in sitting according to shift (i.e. morning or evening). (time frame: Two weeks from admission or or until discharge.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Sep 2020.
