Wearable device tracks stroke Patients' first steps to recovery

NCT ID NCT07638462

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to learn how patients with severe stroke move during their hospital stay. Fifty adults will wear a small activity tracker (activPAL) that records lying, sitting, standing, and stepping. Researchers will compare this data with standard mobility goals to understand typical movement patterns and how well patients meet those goals. The findings may help improve future stroke rehabilitation.
