This study creates a baseline clinical portrait of sensorimotor
rehabilitation in three stroke rehabilitation units (SRUs) as a first step in
implementing a multi-centre clinical research platform. Method: Participants in
this cross-sectional, descriptive study were the patients and rehabilitation
teams in these SRUs. Prospective (recording of therapy time and content and a
Web-based questionnaire) and retrospective (chart audit) methods were combined to
characterize the practice of the rehabilitation professionals. Results: The 24-
to 39-bed SRUs admitted 100-240 inpatients in the year audited. The mean combined
duration of individual occupational and physical therapy was 6.3-7.5
hours/week/patient. When evening hours and the contributions of other
professionals as well as group therapy and self-practice were included, the total
amount of therapy was 13.0 (SD 3) hours/patient/week. Chart audit and
questionnaire data revealed the Berg Balance Scale was the most often used
outcome measure (98%-100%), and other outcome measure use varied. Clinicians
favoured task-oriented therapy (35%-100%), and constraint-induced movement
therapy (0%-15%), electrical stimulation of the tibialis anterior (0%-15%), and
body weight-supported treadmill training (0%-1%) were less often used.
Conclusions: This study is the first to provide objective data on therapy time
and content of stroke rehabilitation in Quebec SRUs.
