What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Functional Ambulation Category	The Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) is a 6-point functional walking test that evaluates ambulation ability, determining how much human support the patient requires when walking, regardless of whether or not they use a personal assistive device.	1-5 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Simplified Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (S-STREAM)	The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) instrument was designed to provide a comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of voluntary movements (ie, an impairment measurement) and basic mobility (ie, a disability measurement) in patients with stroke.	15-20 minutes
Berg Balance Scale (BBS)	The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks.	15-20 minutes
Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living (BI)	The Barthel Index (BI) measures the extent to which somebody can function independently and has mobility in their activities of daily living (ADL) i.e. feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toileting, chair transfer, ambulation and stair climbing.	15-20 minutes
