Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to investigate whether adding cognitive rehabilitation to an existing occupational therapy (OT) stroke telerehabilitation program will improve stroke survivors' functioning. The main question it aims to answer is whether this intervention improves cognition, participation, upper extremity use in real-world activities, and mood/quality of life. Participants will be asked to engage in an 8-week stroke tele-rehabilitation program (13 sessions), which includes both cognitive rehabilitation and OT for arm/hand function, and complete assessments before and after the intervention.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Cognitive Rehabilitation	Cognitive rehabilitation will be OT-led, one-on-one sessions focused on teaching cognitive strategies and their application to a broad set of activities/settings. The goal is to facilitate cognitive skill learning and generalization, by applying the new cognitive strategies to the participant's performance of home-based and community-based activities (taught through the subsequent OT portion of the intervention).
BEHAVIORAL	Occupational Therapy	OT upper extremity rehabilitation will have 2 components: task-practice and metacognitive strategy training. The task-practice involves a patient repetitively practicing stroke-impaired movement skills within the context of a functional task to promote recovery of the impaired skills. THE task practice sessions will be coached/guided by the therapist through a metacognitive strategy training process which is based on the Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach aimed at enhancing self-management during home and community living tasks.
