Read our Stroke research guide →This research is testing a tool called the Expanded Rehabilitation Complexity Scale (RCS-E) to see if it accurately measures how much care, nursing, therapy, and medical support stroke patients need during their recovery. The tool is designed to be quick to use and help doctors and nurses understand each patient's individual needs so they can provide the right care at the right time.
Right now, there is no standard way to measure how complex a stroke patient's rehabilitation needs are, especially in palliative care units. This tool could help hospitals provide better, more personalized care by clearly identifying what each patient needs.

If you join this study, you will complete three different assessment tools that measure your recovery and rehabilitation needs. These are standard tests that doctors already use in rehabilitation settings. The whole process takes place during your normal hospital stay, and there are no experimental treatments involved — researchers are simply testing whether this new measurement tool works well.
