Pedaling Exercises for Disability and Activity Limitations — PEDAL  

Stroke Clinical Trial

Official title: UCFit Pedaling Exercises to Limit Disability in the Outpatient Setting

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This purpose of this study is to determine the effect of different levels of feedback on participation in a home exercise regimen and the amount of walking performed by patients recently discharged from the acute rehabilitation setting.

Clinical Trial Description

The UCFit (University of California's U Cycle to Fitness) device is a standard commercial arm and leg restorator modified to collect pedaling data and to transmit it wirelessly to a central database, allowing for remote exercise monitoring. In this study, patients with stroke will perform pedaling exercise on the UCFit device prior to and then for a period of twelve weeks after discharge to home from inpatient rehabilitation. Differing levels of feedback will be provided to study subjects and corresponding changes in the amount of pedaling and walking performed will be identified. The results of this study will offer insight into the activity levels of disabled persons in their home environments. Furthermore, it will help in the identification of strategies that can increase activity levels in the critical period after discharge to home. ;
