Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is about arm and hand recovery after a stroke. The investigators are testing an experimental arm therapy called Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program (ASAP) which combines challenging, intensive and meaningful practice of tasks of the participant's choice compared to two standard types of therapy (usual and customary arm therapy totaling 30 hours and usual and customary arm therapy for a duration indicated on the therapy prescription). A second objective is to characterize current outpatient arm therapy (dosage & content) following stroke for individuals who are eligible for ICARE. Eligible candidates must have had a stroke affecting an arm within the last 106 days.

Detailed Description

Of the 700,000 individuals who experience a new or recurrent stroke each year, a majority have considerable residual disability. Sixty-five percent (65%) of patients at 6 months are unable to incorporate the paretic hand effectively into daily activities. In turn, this degree of functional deficit contributes to a reduced quality of life after stroke. The extent of disability has been underplayed by the use of the Barthel Index that captures only basic activities of daily living such as self-care and does not extend to activities and participation at higher levels of functioning that are most affected by a residual upper extremity disability. The past decade has witnessed an explosion of different therapy interventions designed to capitalize on the brain's inherent capability to rewire and learn well into old age and more importantly for rehabilitation, after injury. The most effective arm-focused interventions with the strongest evidence and potentially the most immediate and cost-effective appeal for the current health-care environment share a common emphasis on focused task-specific training applied with an intensity higher than usual care. Therefore, our primary aim is to compare the efficacy of a fully defined, hybrid combination of the most effective interventions (forced-use/constraint-induced therapy and skill-based/impairment-mitigating motor learning training), the Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program (ASAP), to an equivalent dose of usual and customary outpatient therapy.

    Description Change from baseline to end-of-study (12 months post-randomization) in log-transformed time required to perform each of the 15 standardized tasks with each upper extremity.
    Time Frame Baseline to 1 year post-randomization

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Number analyzed reflects actual evaluations completed, which varied by outcome assessment. All analyses were also performed in accord with the pre-planned intent-to-treat (ITT) principle with multiple imputation, comparing outcomes by assigned group. No differences were observed between imputed models and actual complete case data.
    Arm/Group Title ASAP Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program DEUCC Dose-Equivalent Usual & Customary Care UCC Usual & Customary Care
    Arm/Group Description A structured, evidence-based, task-oriented rehabilitation program was administered during the early post-acute outpatient interval. It focused entirely on recovery of the affected upper extremity. The training intervention was based on the fundamental elements of skill acquisition through intense bouts of task-specific practice, impairment mitigation (strengthening exercises, shoulder stability/mobility, etc.) to increase capacity, and motivational enhancements to build self-confidence and autonomy. Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program (ASAP): The prescribed dose was 30-hours administered over 1-hour visits at a frequency of 3x/week for a 10-week duration. A 2-hour orientation/evaluation session preceded the first visit. Therapy content was not structured or standardized across therapists or sites. Usual and customary occupational therapy was adjusted for dose and administered early post-acutely in the outpatient setting. It consisted of usual and customary outpatient occupational therapy according to local practices, payer guidelines and participant preferences. It may have focused on more diverse needs than the affected upper extremity. Dose-Equivalent Usual & Customary Care (DEUCC): This group was prescribed a 30-hour dose equivalency, administered over 1-hour visits at a frequency of 3x/week for a 10-week duration. Therapy content was not structured or standardized across therapists or sites. Usual and customary occupational therapy was administered early post-acutely in the outpatient setting according to local practices, payer guidelines and participant preferences. It may have focused on more diverse needs than the affected upper extremity. Usual and Customary Care (UCC): This was an observation only group; treatment dose was prescribed and provided in accordance with usual and customary practices.

    Arm/Group Description A structured, evidence-based, task-oriented rehabilitation program was administered during the early post-acute outpatient interval. It focused entirely on recovery of the affected upper extremity. The training intervention was based on the fundamental elements of skill acquisition through intense bouts of task-specific practice, impairment mitigation (strengthening exercises, shoulder stability/mobility, etc.) to increase capacity, and motivational enhancements to build self-confidence and autonomy. Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program (ASAP): The prescribed dose was 30-hours administered over 1-hour visits at a frequency of 3x/week for a 10-week duration. A 2-hour orientation/evaluation session preceded the first visit. Therapy content was not structured or standardized across therapists or sites. Usual and customary occupational therapy was adjusted for dose and administered early post-acutely in the outpatient setting. It consisted of usual and customary outpatient occupational therapy according to local practices, payer guidelines and participant preferences. It may have focused on more diverse needs than the affected upper extremity. Dose-Equivalent Usual & Customary Care (DEUCC): This group was prescribed a 30-hour dose equivalency, administered over 1-hour visits at a frequency of 3x/week for a 10-week duration.
