Social participation mediates the relationship between self-efficacy and loneliness among people with stroke during COVID-19: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Self-efficacy is associated with both social participation and loneliness in people with stroke in this cross-sectional study. Mediation analysis findings suggest that interventions focused on increasing social participation may prevent or potentially alleviate loneliness in people with stroke who have low self-efficacy.PMID:38345063 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2312639 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

The psychometric properties of the PROMIS ® profile CAT in people with stroke
CONCLUSION: Most domains of the PROMIS Profile CAT showed sufficient construct validity and no problematic floor or ceiling effects in people with stroke. These CATs and the single item Pain Intensity can be used to efficiently measure HRQoL in people with stroke.PMID:38334131 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2312642 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Determinants of access to rehabilitation professionals by individuals with stroke in the first six months after hospital discharge in Brazil: a study based on the Andersen model
CONCLUSION: Need factors (disability levels and stroke severity) were determinants of access in all assessed periods. In addition, in all periods, the comprehensiveness of care for individuals with stroke was compromised.PMID:38319730 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2304969 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Understanding the factors that influence stroke survivors to begin or resume exercise: a qualitative exploration
CONCLUSIONS: Authoritative support from health professionals and family members helped participants to engage in exercise in the early stages after stroke. Collaboration and being part of a team was appreciated for ongoing exercise engagement. Exercise provided hope as participants developed their identity after stroke.PMID:38288982 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2304970 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

High-intensity locomotor training during inpatient rehabilitation improves the discharge ambulation function of patients with stroke. A systematic review with meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The meta-analysis supports the use of high-intensity locomotor training over usual care for improving gait speed and gait endurance during inpatient post-stroke. Future studies should investigate dose-response relationships of high-intensity locomotor training in this setting.PROSPERO REGISTRATION: #CRD42022341329.PMID:38285888 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2304960 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Intraindividual variability in post-stroke cognition and its relationship with activities of daily living and social functioning: an ecological momentary assessment approach
This study aimed to use EMA to determine the variability of cognition in individuals with chronic stroke, identify the latent classes of cognitive variability, and examine any differences in daily activities, social functioning, and neuropsychological performance between these latent classes.METHODS: Participants (N = 202) with mild-to-moderate stroke and over 3-month post-stroke completed a study protocol, including smartphone-based EMA and two lab visits. Participants responded to five EMA surveys daily for 14 days to assess cognition. They completed patient-reported measures and neuropsychological assessments during lab...

Validity and intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Tinetti performance-oriented mobility assessment balance subscale using different tele-assessment methods in patients with chronic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated the validity and reliability of the POMA-B in chronic stroke patients with different tele-assessment methods, typically using the internet and available devices.PMID:38267208 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2307195 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Effects of non-pharmacological interventions on fatigue in people with stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence in support of any non-pharmacological interventions for alleviating fatigue is still inconclusive in people with stroke. In view of the inadequacies of existing interventions and study designs, addressing the multidimensional characteristics of fatigue may be a possible direction in developing interventions. A robust study design with a larger sample size of people with stroke experiencing fatigue is required to evaluate the effects of interventions.PMID:38245894 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2304966 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Immediate effects of standing unstable board intervention on the non-paralyzed leg on sitting balance in severe hemiplegia: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: The standing unstable board intervention for the non-paralyzed lower limb increased sensory input to the non-paralyzed side of the trunk weight-bearing on the lower limb of the paralyzed side. The increase in the righting reaction angle and the movement distance of the center of pressure contributed to improved sitting balance.PMID:38224997 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2302730 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Fatigue predicts level of community integration in people with stroke
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that fatigue is an independent predictor of community integration among people with stroke, taking into account walking endurance and fear of falling.PMID:38176421 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2298536 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)
