Age: 18+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Study Details

Brief summary:

The investigators will determine the client and non-client variables associated with discharge to an inpatient rehabilitation facility vs. skilled nursing facility in individuals' post-stroke. The investigators will determine how these variables are associated with short-term (discharge from facility) and long-term (6-months post-stroke) function and quality of life.

Primary outcome measure

  • Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care, Basic Mobility, change over time [ Time Frame: baseline (acute care hospital stay) to discharge from IRF / SNF or 60 days max ]
  • Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care, Daily Activity [ Time Frame: baseline (acute care hospital stay) to discharge from IRF / SNF or 60 days max ]
  • Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care, Applied Cognition [ Time Frame: baseline (acute care hospital stay) to discharge from IRF / SNF or 60 days max ]
  • Determination of client and non-client variables associated with discharge to an IRF / SNF [ Time Frame: discharge from acute hospital stay or 20 days max. ]
  • Identify cost-effective strategies for IRF / SNF placement after stroke based on client and non-client variables. [ Time Frame: Information will be collected on HRQOLSP at 6 months post-stroke. ]
  • Identify cost-effective strategies for IRF / SNF placement after stroke based on client and non-client variables. [ Time Frame: Information will be collected on EQ-5D at 6 months post-stroke. ]
