The SLEEPR Study: SLEep Effects on Post-stroke Rehabilitation
State University of New York - Upstate Medical University
Summary
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.
Description
The overall goal in this project is to develop an in-depth understanding of the complex interplay between non-obstructive sleep apnea (non OSA) sleep disorders and recovery after stroke. Sleep is vital to overall health and quality of life. Abnormal or insufficient sleep is both a risk factor and consequence of stroke. Sleep also plays a critical role in motor learning, which is the foundation of rehabilitation strategies after stroke. Although there is a growing understanding of the interplay between sleep, stroke, and recovery in people with OSA these complex relationships in individuals pos…
