Identify key obstacles, strategic solutions, and ethical concerns associated with participant accrual and retention in rehabilitation clinical trials.
Evaluated recruitment and retention methodologies utilized during the Extremity Constraint-Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) randomized clinical trial.
Introduced the Recruitment Index as a dedicated operational variable to quantify and monitor recruitment efficacy across trial sites.
Analyzed ethical considerations surrounding clinical trial participation, focusing on participant comprehension during informed consent and the dynamics of therapeutic misconception.
Demonstrated that systematic documentation and publication of recruitment metrics address critical accrual deficits inherent to physical therapy trials.
Established the Recruitment Index as a standardized quantitative parameter to assess recruitment yield and guide adaptive retention strategies.
Identified procedural safeguards during informed consent to resolve participant expectations and reduce therapeutic misconception in experimental interventions.
