This is a prospective cohort study to determine the feasibility of accurate, complete, and timely real-time electronic capturing of upper limb motor intervention sessions during usual care. In clinical trials accurate reporting of usual care for people with stroke is scarce, thus understanding the control group compared to the experimental group is poor. The unit of measure in this study is therapy sessions, where a clinician is providing usual care to a patient.
The observed sessions will occur in two Austin Health settings: Acute at Austin Hospital; subacute, across Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre or the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital. For each session, patient characteristics, dose and content of upper limb interventions will be electronically captured in REDCap. Additionally, the sessions will be video recorded to allow a second rater to assess feasibility. The secondary aim is to determine if there is an association between the dose and content of upper limb intervention sessions and the contextual factors of stroke patients. Two participant groups will be recruited: Stroke patients and Clinicians (Occupational Therapists and Allied Health Assistants).
