Table 4 List of patient-level clinical trial outcome measures collected during phase II. These data will be collected at baseline (pre) and 3 weeks (post) for all patient-participants

From: Implementing digital devices to increase mobility training for people receiving inpatient rehabilitation: protocol for a feasibility hybrid type II randomized controlled trial

Outcomes

Pre

Post

Mobility

 1. Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) continuous score, 0–3 [28]: measures time taken to complete tasks of gait speed, standing balance, and standing up and sitting down; higher score indicates better mobility

Y

Y

 2. Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) total score, 0–12 and subscales [29,30,31,32]; measures mobility; higher score indicates better mobility

Y

Y

 3. Single leg stance: measures standing time on most affected leg in 0–10 s; higher scores indicate better balance

Y

Y

 4. Maximal balance range test [33]: measures distance reached forward in millimetres; higher score indicate better balance

Y

Y

 5. Step test [34]: measures number of steps in 15 s on each leg, higher score indicates better balance

General health and function

N

 6. Functional Co-morbidity Index [35]: collects information on 26 comorbidities and any other the patient reports

Y

Y

 7. Technology exposure survey: collects number and frequency of usage of digital devices by Patient-participants before and during the trial

Y

Y

 8. Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) [36] short form, 0–24 points; self-reported measures of basic mobility; higher score indicates more independence

  

Quality of life

 9. European quality of life 5-dimension subscale score (EQ5D-5L) [37], 0–5 points; consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system that comprises 5 dimensions of health and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) which records the patient’s self-rated health on a 0–100 visual analogue scale; higher score indicates better quality of life

Y

Y

Physical activity

10. Average steps per day measured over a 3-day period (1 day at baseline) using the StepWatch activity monitor [38]; higher stepcount indicates greater physical activity 

Y

Y

Falls

 11. Falls and fall related injuries from hospital incident reporting system: number of falls

N

Y

Adverse events (intervention group only)

 12. Number of adverse events and details. An adverse event (minor and serious) is defined as an unwanted and usually harmful outcome occurring while the person is participating in the intervention, i.e., whilst undertaking rehabilitation using digital devices (e.g., a fall while using digital devices with no or minor injury (minor AE) or serious injury such as a fracture ( serious AE).
