Effects of Mobility Dose on Discharge Disposition in Critically Ill Stroke Patients
Completed
Conditions studied: Sarcopenia, Stroke, Acute, Muscle Weakness, Critical Illness
In brief
The primary aim of the study is to assess the mobility dose in neurocritical care patients with ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage and its effects on discharge disposition and patient outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that patients' mobilization dose in the intensive care unit (ICU) predicts discharge disposition, 90 day Barthel Index and other outcomes like muscle wasting (expressed as decrease in rectus femoris cross sectional area (RF-CSA) in the paretic and non-paretic limb measured by bedside ultrasound), and ICU length of stay (LOS).
