Measure
Supine Cycle Ergometry of the Lower Extremities
Patients will receive two 20 minute cycle ergometry sessions separated by at least 4 hours in addition to usual care. The cycle will be set to a gear of zero and will begin in passive mode, the patient will be able to actively cycle if patients are able. Supine cycle ergometry of the lower extremities: The cycle ergometer allows for movement of the lower extremities by a motor if a patient is experiencing a disorder of consciousness or is otherwise unable to move one or both legs. If a patient is able to cycle actively the device allows the patient to move patient's legs without support of the motor.
Control
Patients will receive usual care only.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 of study

Population: Participants who completed the survey are reported.

The global physical health status subscale of the Promis scale v1.2 will be used to measure pre-morbid physical health status. A 5-point Likert scale is used to score each of the four items. The scores for each item are summed as a raw score and are converted to T scores using a standardized table with higher T scores indicating better physical health status. An average t score representing the population is 50. 10 points is equal to 1 standard deviation, thus a score of 60 means that one is one standard deviation better than the general population.

Timeframe: Standard of care 90-day assessment

Population: 17 patients had the modified Rankin assessed per standard of care at 90 days.

The modified Rankin score will be used to measure function in terms of activities of daily living after stroke. A six-point ordinal scale (0-6) with lower scores indicating less disability and higher scores indicating increasingly severe disability. A score of 6 indicates death. Reporting the frequency of each score category.

Timeframe: Day of ICU transfer or discharge, 90 day assessment

Population: Only 4 patients had scores at discharge or transfer and at the 90 day assessment per standard of care (1 in the treatment group and 3 in the control group). Change in scores are reported.

The modified Rankin score will be used to measure function in terms of activities of daily living after stroke. A six-point ordinal scale (0-6) with lower scores indicating less disability and higher scores indicating increasingly severe disability. A score of 6 indicates death. Change in functional status was calculated by subtracting the first score (discharge) from the second score (90 day assessment).

Population: Resource limitations precluded collection of this data.

The MRCS will be used to measure muscle strength over time. The instrument is a 60 point scale indicating muscle strength in 6 muscle groups. Three muscle groups each on the right and left upper extremities and three each in the right and left lower extremities. Each muscle group is scored from 0-5 out of a possible 5 points. A composite score with a maximum of 60 is produced, 30 points can be achieved for each side of the body.

Timeframe: On transfer from the ICU or discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first, assessed up to 60 days, 30-day follow-up visit

Population: Due to resource constraints this assessment was only performed at discharge and only in 14 patients, 7 each in the intervention and control arms.

The Barthel index will be used to measure a participant's ability to perform activities of daily living in detail. The instrument is a 10-item scale with a range of 0 -100 points. Higher scores indicate higher levels of function.
