Isotemporal Substitution of Sedentary Behavior with Moderate- to Vigorous- Physical Activity Is Associated with Lower Risk of Disability: A Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: Replacing SB with MVPA was associated with a lower risk of disability. These findings are helpful for establishing disability prevention strategies.IMPACT: These results suggest that feasible changes in daily behavior, such as replacing 10 minutes of SB with MVPA daily, might have a protective effect on disability incidence. Clarifying these associations is useful for developing disability prevention strategies and may help reduce the incidence of disability in community-dwelling older adults.PMID:35079837 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzac002

Depressive Symptoms Moderate the Relationship among Physical Capacity, Balance Self-Efficacy, and Participation in People after Stroke
CONCLUSION: The results suggest the relationship between physical capacity and participation appears to be mediated by balance self-efficacy in individuals after stroke with low reports of depressive symptoms but in those with high reports of depressive symptoms, physical capacity and balance self-efficacy are unrelated to participation.IMPACT: Targeting balance self-efficacy to improve post stroke participation may only be beneficial for individuals with low reports of depression. In individuals after stroke with high reports of depression, treatment should include and emphasize the treatment of those depressive symptoms....

Effect of Virtual Reality Gait Training on Participation in Survivors of Subacute Stroke: Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The effect of VRT was not statistically different from non-VRT in improving participation in community-living people after stroke. IMPACT: Although outcomes were not statistically different, treadmill-based VRT was a safe and well-tolerated intervention that was positively rated by people after stroke. VR training might, therefore, be a valuable addition to stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 33594443 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Readiness to Change is Related to Real-World Walking and Depressive Symptoms in Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Understanding the relationship between readiness to change, daily stepping, and depressive symptoms will help clinicians implement appropriate stage-specific intervention strategies and facilitate greater improvement in activity levels.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A333).

Reliability and validity of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale-Japanese (ABC-J) in community-dwelling stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: ABC-J is a valid and reliable measurement tool for investigating balance confidence among patients ≥6 months after stroke. PMID: 32850274 [PubMed]

Determining Safe Participation in Aerobic Exercise Early After Stroke Through a Graded Submaximal Exercise Test.
CONCLUSION: A graded submaximal exercise test without ECG but with symptom monitoring and conservative heart rate and perceived exertion endpoints may facilitate safe exercise intensities early after stroke. Symptom-limited exercise testing with ECG is still recommended when progressing to higher-intensity exercise. IMPACT: Concerns about cardiovascular risk are a barrier to physical therapists implementing aerobic exercise in stroke rehabilitation. This study showed that, in the absence of access to exercise testing with ECG, submaximal testing with conservative heart rate and perceived exertion endpoints and symptom...

Poststroke Fatigue Is Related to Motor and Cognitive Performance: A Secondary Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Functional gait, balance, and cognitive performance are associated with PSF. Fatigue should be considered when planning and delivering interventions for individuals with stroke. Future studies are needed to explore the potential efficacy of balance and cognitive training in PSF management.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A287).

Belief, Confidence, and Motivation to Use the Paretic Upper Limb in Daily Life Over the First 24 Weeks After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: High levels of belief, confidence, and motivation appear consistent over the first 6 months after stroke. The lack of correlations between psychosocial factors and clinical measures suggests belief, confidence, and motivation may not be vulnerable to functional status early after stroke.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1 available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A283).

Relationship Between Walking Capacity, Biopsychosocial Factors, Self-efficacy, and Walking Activity in Individuals Poststroke.
CONCLUSION: Although measures of walking capacity and self-efficacy significantly contributed to "real-world" walking activity, balance self-efficacy moderated the relationship between walking capacity and walking activity. Improving balance self-efficacy may augment walking capacity and translate to improved walking activity poststroke.Video abstract is available for more insights from the authors (see Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A139).

Stroke Impact Scale Version 2: Validation of the French Version.
CONCLUSIONS: The French SIS version presents good psychometric properties, except for ceiling effect. This is the first stroke-specific questionnaire evaluating perceived health after stroke to be validated in France, and could be useful for further investigations of HRQoL after stroke.
