The SLEEPR Study: SLEep Effects on Post-stroke Rehabilitation

Description

Sleep is critical for health and quality of life; however, little is known about the prevalence or impact of non obstructive sleep apnea (non-OSA) sleep disorders in people with stroke. The proposed study aims to characterize the proportion of people with stroke that have non-OSA sleep disorders and their impact on recovery of activities of daily living, functional mobility, and participation along the continuum of recovery in people with stroke.

  • * Living in a nursing home or assisted living center prior to the stroke.
  • * Unable to ambulate 150' independently prior to the stroke.
  • * Other neurologic health condition that may impact recovery such as Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, Alzheimer's Disease.
