Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	90 Day Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score	Proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale score (min 0, max 5 with 0 being the best outcome) of 0-2 at 90 days	90 days post bed rest
Secondary	Pneumonia	Determine whether rates of pneumonia are at least similar in the two arms. Rates will be measured as percentages of the entire population at risk.	Duration of hospitalization stay, average 5 days
Secondary	Venous Thromboembolism	Determine whether rates of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) are at least similar in the two arms. Rates will be measured as percentages of the entire population at risk.	Duration of hospitalization stay, average 5 days
Secondary	Neurological Worsening	Determine whether rates of neurological worsening are at least similar in the two arms. Rates will be measured as percentages of the entire population at risk.	Duration of hospitalization stay, average 5 days
Secondary	Readmission	Determine whether rates of readmission are at least similar in the two arms.	90 days post bed rest
Secondary	Length of Stay	Determine whether length of hospital stay are at least similar in the two arms. This will be measured in days.	Duration of hospitalization stay, average 5 days
