About this study
Official title: Using the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) to Maximize Rehabilitation Research Impact: A Video-Based Observational Study
This study aims to better understand how occupational therapists provide rehabilitation for adults recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury (SCI), with a focus on improving arm and hand function. Using video recordings of real outpatient therapy sessions, researchers will identify the key elements of treatment, such as the types of activities, the therapist's techniques, and how patients respond. The study will use the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS), a framework designed to clearly describe rehabilitation methods. By analyzing these sessions, the research team will develop a practical toolkit to help therapists and researchers deliver and study more effective rehabilitation treatments in the future.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time Spent on Different Types of Treatment Activities
We will quantify time spent in different treatment types during standard care occupational therapy, as specified in the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System.
Measured: Through study completion, Up to 24 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Feasibility of Video Recording Intervention
Feasibility of Intervention Measure - Participants will rate their acceptability of being video recorded through various questions on a 1-5 Likert scale where 1 is completely disagree and 5 is completely agree.
Measured: Following participant data collection/video recording through study completion, up to 24 months
Acceptability of Video Recording Intervention
Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) - Participants will gauge their acceptability and comfort with being video recorded. Participants will rate their acceptability of being video recorded through various questions on a 1-5 Likert scale where 1 is completely disagree and 5 is completely agree.
Measured: Following participant data collection/video recording through study completion, up to 24 months
