BACKGROUND: Decreased mobility during hospitalization and recovery is a major contributor to poor healthcare outcomes and increased lengths of stay. Neglecting patient mobility also carries risks including, but not limited to, an increased likelihood of falling, difficulties performing basic activities, pressure injuries, and venous thromboembolism. Prevention of hospitalacquired loss of function is therefore essential in improving patient care and the healing process. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center was chosen to participate in a proposed project in association with Johns Hopkins to evaluate the implementation and impact of a transdisciplinary and multifaceted mobility program known as Activity and …

Studies report up to 85% of stroke survivors experience upper extremity (UE) hemiparesis1 and 78% fail to achieve the average UE function for their age, even after 3 months of treatment2. Limited access to outpatient rehabilitation for these survivors worsens the issue; in Texas, 71% of rural counties lack rehabilitation clinics for stroke patients. To mitigate issues involving healthcare accessibility, research has been undertaken to automate scoring of the Fugl-Meyer assessment, the standard stroke rehabilitation scale describing upper extremity motor function, to alleviate physician burden and inform physical therapists of disabilities. We aim to demonstrate the feasibility of using a …
