This case report was developed to test methods for a
larger study designed to explore the relationship between
physical activity intensity in inpatient stroke rehabilitation
and mobility outcomes. To improve sensitivity of the testing
materials, the person selected for the case had to be
completing the first week of inpatient rehabilitation and
meet the criteria of: (1) medical stability meaning not
confined to bed rest or restricted mobility for medical
reasons, (2) able to participate in some mobility training
both seated (e.g., wheelchair propulsion) and upright (gait
or pregait activities), (3) require speech therapy services, and
(4) have family involved in discharge planning. A physical
therapist collaborator identified the first individual meeting
this criteria after methods had been developed to participate
in this case report.
