New exam method could uncover hidden motion issues after stroke

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * adults ≥18 years Admission diagnosis: * ischemic stroke OR * transient ischemic attack (TIA). A prior history of TIA but without stroke may be enrolled. * Neurologic stability or lack of significant deterioration (i.e. ∆ NIHSS\<4) for at least 24 hours (defined by clinical documentation and/or communication with provider team(s)) in stroke subjects * Able to sit upright, lie supine, and when able lateral recumbent left/right positions with assist independently or with minimal person assist * Anticipated length of stay greater \> or = 2 days for ischemic stroke. TIA patients average length of stay is \< 2 days, and can be enrolled in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Acute skeletal fracture or known dislocation; history of pathologic (osteoporotic or neoplastic) skeletal fracture of thoracic cage, hip/pelvis/sacrum, or vertebral column * Prior history of ICH, ischemic stroke, confirmed by imaging and/or clinical evaluation. Patients with imaging showing "chronic stroke" who have never received a diagnosis of stroke and/or have not been previously symptomatic may still be enrolled, based on the Investigator's clinical judgement. * Spinal column support brace (e.g. cervical collar) * Anticipated neurosurgical intervention during hospitalization: decompressive hemicraniectomy, hematoma evacuation (defined by clinical documentation and/or communication with provider team(s)) * Current endotracheal intubation (\*note: extubated patients can be evaluated for eligibility) * History of spinal cord injury with residual neuromuscular or sensory disability * History of recent trauma within the past 30 days * Known ligament, musculotendinous, or bone lesion * Clinical condition that would interfere with execution of movement or palpatory diagnostic testing, e.g. chronic pain * History of spinal surgery
