Trial Outcomes & Findings for Frequency vs Error Augmentation Training in Acute Physical Therapy Post Stroke (NCT NCT06042179)
NCT ID: NCT06042179
Last Updated: 2026-03-25
Results Overview
The scale measures 12 items of balance in sitting, lying and standing with increasing amounts of difficulty. It consists of a 4 point scale, measured from 0 to 3 with scores that range from 0-36. Patients with a lower score have a more severe impairment, and patients with a higher score have a less severe impairment.

Standard of Care PT
Standard of care PT services to included 3 to 5 therapy sessions per week, each session averaging between 20 to 50 minutes, delivered throughout the hospitalization. No specific instructions will be given to therapists providing standard of care PT, except that they cannot implement error augmentation training. Generally, standard of care PT during the initial hospitalization following acute stroke is provided with targeted patient-specific goals and typically primarily focuses on mobility and gait training. Most sessions are geared toward bed mobility, transfers and gait training with therapeutic exercises provided to target any muscle weakness identified.

Frequent PT Services
This group will receive physical therapy services twice a day Monday through Friday and daily Saturday and Sunday. Most sessions are geared toward bed mobility, transfers and gait training with therapeutic exercises provided to target any muscle weakness identified.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: From date of PT evaluation up until 90 day stroke follow up post hospital dischargeThe scale measures basic mobility in the hospital setting including moving around in bed, getting out of bed, sitting and standing, moving from a bed to a chair, walking, and going up and down stairs. It consists of a 4 point scale measured from 1 to 4 with scores that range from 6 to 24. Patients with a lower score have a more severe impairment, and patients with a higher score have a less severe impairment.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: On date of PT evaluationThe scale is a questionnaire that asks patients about their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL's) taking into account their physical, mental, and speech performance. On admission the questionnaire focuses on their ability to perform ADL's prior to their stroke. At discharge and at 90 day follow up the questionnaire focuses on their ability to perform ADL's at that time point. It is scored from 0 to 5. Patients with a lower score have a less severe impairment, and patients with a higher score have a more severe impairment.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: From date of PT evaluation up until 30 day stroke follow up post hospital dischargeThe scale measures the severity of symptoms associated with patient's stroke. It assesses the severity of impairments related to stroke. The impairments are graded on a 3-4 point scale with scores that range from 0-42. Patients with a higher score have a more severe impairment, and patients with a lower score have a less severe impairment.
