What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether wearable sensors and goal-setting sessions with a physiotherapist can help stroke survivors stay active after leaving inpatient rehabilitation. Participants wear sensors to track activity, sleep, and sedentary behavior, and some receive feedback and set goals based on that data. The study includes 20 stroke survivors and also gathers input from physiotherapists. Researchers will measure feasibility, adherence, and changes in mobility and function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Wearable sensors paired with activity counselling and goal-setting sessions with a physiotherapist
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could help stroke survivors maintain their activity levels and independence after leaving rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention may not be practical or effective for everyone.
