About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage focused on measuring Physical Therapy, early intervention

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients diagnosed by CT scan or MRI with subarachnoid hemorrhage and admitted to the neurological ICU >48 hours.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Significant language barrier that would limit the ability to participate in the physical therapy program
  • Severe baseline physical or cognitive impairment that would impair their ability to participate in the protocol
  • Patients whose vital signs are outside the accepted starting and stopping criteria outlined below:

    1. intracranial pressure ≤ 15 mm Hg
    2. Cerebral perfusion pressure >50 or <70 mm Hg
    3. Mean arterial pressure ≥ 80 and ≤ 110
    4. Heart rate ≥40 and <140 bpm
    5. Pulse oximetry >88%
