Intensive CPAP Support

for Stroke Patients with Sleep Apnea

The SCOUTS 3 study aims to test the effectiveness of an intensive CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy support program compared to usual care in stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during inpatient rehabilitation (IPR). The study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving recruitment of about 250 participants across two institutions and randomization of about 200 participants. It compares an intensive support (IS) program for CPAP use with standard support (SS) to evaluate the effectiveness of the IS intervention in increasing CPAP usage during and after stroke rehabilitation. The Intensive Support (IS) group will receive a multicomponent intensive behavioral adherence program, which includes a CPAP technical support intervention, Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), and a Mobile Health intervention. Outcomes measured include CPAP adherence as measured by average nightly use in minutes between randomization and 3 months and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS-9Q) to evaluate stroke recovery.

Ankle-Foot Orthosis

for Stroke

The overall goal of this study is to attain the highest possible health-related quality of life for individuals with lower-limb impairment through a clinical trial examining three different modern carbon fiber ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) treatment options targeting the rehabilitation of individuals post-stroke. To achieve this goal, the investigators will: 1. Identify the factors that significantly contribute to an individual's highest potential quality of life when considering each of the three available AFO design options, and 2. Develop prediction models of clinical performance using biomechanical function linked to the three AFO designs. Participants will be asked to: * Wear each of the three modern AFO designs for one month, after receiving therapy training and * Complete questionnaires and performance tests with each AFO. In addition, the subset of individuals participating in goal 2) will also be asked to: * Perform biomechanical analyses using high-speed cameras and force plates during different walking and balance tests with each AFO design.

Rehabilitation Exercises

for Stroke Recovery

The purpose of this research study is to measure the effect of participating in extra arm exercise in addition to standard rehabilitation exercises in the Acute Rehabilitation Unit. This study will compare two different ways to perform the extra arm exercise. The first is following a customized program of hand and arm exercises that will be developed for study participants by an experienced rehabilitation therapist. The second is moving a participants arm back and forth when they are sitting in their wheelchair by using a moveable wheelchair arm rest (Boost).
