Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to track outcome measures and rehabilitation interventions performed during recovery for the first 12 months following stroke.
Detailed description of study
Participation in Part A of this research study will last up to 6 months following stroke. At regular intervals following initial injury (15 days and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 months after stroke), participants will visit the Locomotor Recovery Laboratory at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana, where researchers will assess strength, balance and walking ability. Each session will last approximately 2-3 hours. Participants will also wear a monitor on the leg called the Stepwatch that detects the number of steps taken each day.
Participation in Part B of this study will last from 6 to 12 months after stroke. Researchers will assess strength, balance and walking ability at 6, 7, 9, and 12 months post-stroke. From 6-9 months post-stroke, participants will also receive up to 30 physical therapy visits that focus on high-intensity walking training. Participants will continue to wear a monitor on the leg to detect stepping activity.
Participants will receive $10 for transportation expenses and parking for training sessions, as well as $20 per hour for each testing session.
