Ecological Momentary Assessment of Real-World Functional Behaviors in Individuals With Stroke: A Longitudinal Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To validate and characterize real-world functional behaviors in individuals after stroke.

Design

Longitudinal observational study using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) as a real-time assessment of functional behaviors in natural contexts. Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Fisher exact tests, and Spearman correlations were used to analyze data.

Setting

Community.

Participants
