Inpatient Rehabilitation & Post-Discharge Outcomes With High Intensity

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Stroke is a major cause of disability, with 2-3% of Americans reporting stroke related impairments (Tsao 2022). Following stroke, over half of Medicare patients are discharged to post-acute care facilities or receive home-based health care (Tsao 2022). Inpatient rehabilitation guidelines are lacking, with many interventions based on research of patients with chronic stroke. There is great need for randomized clinical trials during the early subacute period (Bernhardt 2017, Jordan 2021). Clinical practice guidelines recommend high intensity gait training (HIGT) for ambulatory patients with chronic stroke (Hornby 2020). Outpatient HIGT protocols incorporating variable stepping demonstrate equivalent effectiveness to forward stepping protocols (Hornby 2019) and have yielded superior results to lower intensity therapies (Hornby 2019, Hornby 2016). Research suggests that HIGT with variable stepping is feasible during inpatient rehabilitation (Hornby 2015, Moore 2020). Pre-post studies suggest that participation in HIGT during inpatient rehabilitation yields greater improvements in walking without an increase in adverse events. (Moore 2020). Despite this, there are no randomized controlled trials evaluating HIGT in the inpatient setting. The subacute phase of stroke recovery may be a critical time for neuroplasticity (Dromerick 2021). Not only might rehabilitation interventions be more effective when initiated earlier (Biernaskie 2004, Dromerick 2021) but because inpatient rehabilitation represents the transition from hospital to home, interventions during this timeframe have the potential to improve discharge disposition, enhance quality of life, and reduce utilization of post-discharge services. In this randomized controlled study, investigators will determine how participation in HIGT during inpatient rehabilitation affects balance, ambulation, and quality of life after 14 and/or 21 days of inpatient rehabilitation, and 8 weeks post-discharge. Investigators will also determine if HIGT reduces health care burden with a cost-effectiveness analysis.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
