Comparing acute hospital outcomes for people with post-stroke aphasia who do and do not require an interpreter
CONCLUSIONS: Some differences exist in the management and outcomes for people with post-stroke aphasia who require an interpreter. Further research to explore their needs and the practical issues underpinning their clinical care pathways is required.PMID:38116813 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2295128 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Prevalence and outcome of pre-onset frailty in patients with acute stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one-fourth of patients with first-onset stroke had pre-onset frailty; the rate doubled in recurrent stroke; these rates appear to be much larger than rate in healthy individuals. Pre-onset frailty, a negative independent factor affecting functional disability at discharge, is important for pre-onset frailty evaluation and rehabilitation intervention in acute stroke patients.PMID:38108292 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2291898 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Reduced oxygen desaturation in the vastus lateralis of chronic stroke survivors during graded muscle contractions
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that oxygen desaturation in response to isometric muscle contractions is impaired in both the paretic and non-paretic leg muscle of stroke survivors compared to age-matched controls, and these differences are independent of differences in muscle strength.PMID:38095272 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2291902 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Ataxic hemiparesis: a narrative review for clinical practice in rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: AH imposes significant challenges on stroke survivors when it comes to remediation of balance and coordination. It is associated with increased risk of mortality, stroke recurrence, and dementia. Though application of the concept of neuroplasticity and the utilization of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation have shown early promising results, further research is needed to establish the practice guidelines for rehabilitation of patients with AH.PMID:37965878 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2281722 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)
