Interdisciplinary Comprehensive Arm Rehab Evaluation (ICARE) Stroke Initiative
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program (ASAP), Dose-Equivalent Usual & Customary Care - DEUCC, and 1 other intervention for Stroke and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 361 participants across 8 sites.
Detailed 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.

Timeline
Interventions
A 30-hour dose is administered over 1-hour visits at a frequency of 3x/week for a 10-week duration. A 2-hour orientation/evaluation session precedes the first visit.
Usual and customary arm therapy administered early post-acutely in the outpatient setting, adjusted for dose, but otherwise administered in accordance with usual and customary practices. This is a 30-hour dose equivalency group, administered over 1-hour visits at a frequency of 3x/week for a 10-week duration.
Usual and customary arm therapy administered early post-acutely in the outpatient setting. This is an observation only group and treatment dose will be administered in accordance with usual and customary practices.
