Association Between Sleep Duration and Functional Disability in Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: A Pilot Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the change in sleep duration during inpatient rehabilitation and to determine if sleep quality and sleep duration is associated with functional disability for individuals after stroke. It was hypothesized that participants who experienced optimal sleep during inpatient rehabilitation would have greater functional ability at discharge.

Design

Longitudinal observation study.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation unit at a large, urban hospital.

Participants

Thirty-seven individuals with acute stroke (N=37; mean age, 62.5±11.8y, male=20, female=17) were recruited from September 2018 to September 2019. Participants were invited to participate in the study by clinical personnel associated with their usual care as they were admitted to inpatient reha
