Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the feasibility and implementation of using a wheelchair-mounted exercise device (Boost) to increase upper extremity movement practice during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
Upon completion, participants will be able to compare movement dosage and functional outcomes (UEFM scores) between patients using Boost and those participating in conventional upper extremity exercise programs.
Upon completion, participants will be able to interpret the clinical significance of movement repetition data and motor recovery trends in subacute stroke patients using the Boost device during inpatient rehabilitation.
