Read our STROKE research guide →This is an observational study that tracks stroke patients — particularly those whose strokes were caused by atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm disorder — as they receive rehabilitation care. Researchers want to understand how well different intensities of rehabilitation therapy help patients recover function and independence after stroke. The study will enroll about 213 patients and follow them through their rehabilitation journey to see what works best.
Doctors know that rehabilitation is crucial for stroke recovery, but they don't yet understand whether strokes caused by atrial fibrillation need different types of therapy or result in different outcomes compared to other types of stroke. By carefully tracking both high-intensity and moderate-intensity rehabilitation programs, researchers hope to develop better predictions about recovery and help optimize which patients benefit most from which level of care.

After you are discharged from the hospital stroke unit, you will be assigned to one of two rehabilitation centers based on your medical condition and recovery needs. You will either participate in a high-intensity program (3–5 therapy sessions daily) or a moderate-intensity program (1 therapy session daily), depending on factors like your age, how well you were functioning before the stroke, and your current neurological status. Researchers will track your progress, functional recovery, and independence in daily activities over the rehabilitation period to understand how well each program works for stroke patients.
