MoCA Subgroups in Stroke Rehabilitation Subgroups Defined by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Differ in Functional Gain During Acute Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
To validate subgroups of cognitive impairment on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) —defined as Normal (score of 25-30), Mildly Impaired (score of 20-24), and Moderately Impaired (score less than 19)—by determining whether they differ in rehabilitation gain during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

Promoting Well-Being in Stroke Survivors and Care-Partners Through a Dyadic Positive Psychology Intervention
Sustaining well-being in stroke patients and caregiving partners is important for optimal outcomes. However, support for couples post-stroke is largely lacking or inaccessible. We aimed to pilot test a self-administered positive psychology-based intervention for these couples. Hypothesis: Participants demonstrate improvement across outcome measures from pre- to post-intervention and maintain improvement at 3-month follow-up.

Can an Ankle Foot Orthoses with a Heel Lift Decrease Genu Recurvatum in Adults Post-Stroke?
Genu recurvatum (GR) in persons who are post-stroke can lead to excessive peak knee extension (>5 degrees) during the stance phase of gait. If untreated, GR can contribute to knee instability, weakness, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combining a heel lift with an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) on genu recurvatum during gait in persons who are post-stroke. We hypothesized that the heel lift would result in a decrease in peak knee extension during the stance phase of gait.

A Network Analysis of Depressive Symptoms in Persons after Stroke
To (1) examine the network structure of post-stroke depressive symptoms, and (2) incorporate clinico-demographic characteristics (i.e., age, sex, race, self-care, sphincter, transfer, locomotion, communication, social cognition, social support, and pain) into the network to examine the extent of relationships between these characteristics and post-stroke depressive symptoms.

Effects of Action Observation Training in Gait Speed of Stroke Patients: A Case Series
Stroke is considered as a primary cause of disability and results to problems in activities of daily living. Action Observation Training (AOT) is an emerging cost-effective physical therapy intervention (PT) which involves facilitation of mirror neurons through viewing of video clips of a healthy individual performing an activity similar to that of the desired task. This intends to describe the effects of AOT used in conjunction with conventional PT interventions in gait speed of stroke patients.

GETCare: Development of a Comprehensive Education and Training Program For Care-Partners Post-Stroke
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, with spousal partners often filling a significant role as caregivers after loved ones return home. Without adequate resources, this new role can lead to increased burden and depression for care-partners, and decreased rehabilitation effectiveness for stroke survivors. Research suggests the quality and amount of education provided to care-partners is severely lacking and there is need for improved services and resources. The purpose of this project was to conduct a needs assessment, create the GETCare program, and gather stakeholder feedback in prepar...
