Development of the < em > "Kalmer" < /em > relaxation intervention: co-design with stroke survivors with aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, a co-designed accessible relaxation product was viewed as a necessary component of usual stroke care. Acceptability and feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the "Kalmer" intervention should be trialled in future studies. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONCo-designing psychological interventions for people with aphasia after stroke is needed to meet the needs of this at-risk population.Technology-based relaxation interventions to manage anxiety after stroke are viewed positively by people with aphasia and deemed acceptable and feasible.Clinical trials of these co-designed relaxation interventions are r...

Return to Work 2–5 Years After Stroke: A Cross Sectional Study in a Hospital-Based Population
Conclusions A minority of working patients RTW after stroke; a shorter duration of the initial hospitalization was associated with a favorable work outcome. The significant association between work status and activities, mental aspects and quality of life underlines the need to develop effective interventions supporting RTW.

Correlates of well-being among caregivers of long-term community-dwelling stroke survivors
Although caregiving for stroke survivors is usually long-term, most studies on caregivers have generally involved only the first year following the event. We assessed and compared the long-term level of well-being measures among stroke survivors and their caregivers at more than 1 year following the stroke event and examined the associations between well-being, survivors’ characteristics, and caregiver burden. We interviewed a convenience sample of 51 community-dwelling stroke survivors, at least 1 year after the last stroke event, and their primary caregivers. Disability of survivors was assessed using the Barthel index...

Complementary and integrative health interventions in post-stroke rehabilitation: a systematic PRISMA review.
CONCLUSION: Based on the small number of randomized controlled trials, this systematic review reported the effectiveness of four active mind-body interventions for individuals post-stroke. The strongest evidence was for the use of Tai Chi, followed by Pilates and yoga. Implications for rehabilitation Clinicians should consider the benefits of qigong, Pilates, Tai Chi, and yoga to best meet individual patient needs and goals. Clinicians who offer qigong, Pilates, Tai Chi, and/or yoga should be qualified to instruct the specific active complementary and integrative health technique or refer patients to those who are qualifie...

Changes in stroke rehabilitation during the SARS-CoV-2 shutdown in Switzerland
CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 shutdown had measurable immediate, but no persistent, effects on post-stroke outcomes, except for depression. Importantly, a 2-month reduction in therapy may trigger improvements when therapy is fully re-initiated thereafter.PMID:34927210 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v53.1118

Self-perceived Burden in the Young and Middle-aged Inpatients with Stroke: A Cross-sectional Survey.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study indicates that SPB is a prevalent inner feeling among young and middle-aged inpatients with stroke in China and that it is associated with an array of variables, including social support, quality of life, distressful mood, and several demographic characteristics. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The findings of this study may help rehabilitation nurses plan and implement health education, effectively and efficiently use healthcare resources, so as to better care the young and middle-aged stroke patients as well as promote their rehabilitation.

Expanding stroke telerehabilitation services to rural veterans: a qualitative study on patient experiences using the robotic stroke therapy delivery and monitoring system program.
CONCLUSIONS: Telerehabilitation robotic devices can be used as a tool to extend effective, evidence-based and specialized rehabilitation services for upper and lower limb rehabilitation to rural Veterans with poor access to care. Implications for Rehabilitation Participants whose formal therapy services had ended either because they had exhausted their benefits or because traveling to outpatient therapy was too cumbersome due to distance were able to perform therapeutic activities in the home daily (or at least multiple times per week). Participants who were still receiving formal therapy services either in-home or in the ...

Poststroke Depression: A Long-Term Problem for Stroke Survivors
Conclusions In the chronic phase after stroke, a considerable proportion of patients has depressive symptoms. This seems to be related to sex, country of origin, anxiety, coping style, daily activities, quality of life, and caregivers' strain. Future research should focus on causal relationships and opportunities for treatment.
