Does Respiratory Muscle Training Improve Cough Flow in Acute Stroke? Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Respiratory muscle function and cough flow improve with time after acute stroke. Additional inspiratory or expiratory respiratory muscle training does not augment or expedite this improvement. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.controlled-trials.com. Unique identifier: ISRCTN40298220.

Acupuncture for Post-stroke Shoulder-Hand Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Acupuncture therapy seems effective for motor function, pain relief and activities of daily living in stroke patients with mild SHS, when it is used in combination with rehabilitation. The low certainty of evidence downgrades our confidence in making recommendations to clinical practice. Introduction Shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) is a common condition among people who have had a stroke, with its reported prevalence ranging from 12% to 49% (1, 2). The main symptoms of SHS include pain, hyperalgesia, joint swelling and limitations in range of motion (ROM) (3). Post-stroke SHS is also named type I complex ...

Effect of myofeedback on the threshold of the stretch reflex response of post-stroke spastic patients.
Conclusion The myofeedback training provided a significant contribution to conventional treatment, allowing for a better improvement of the spastic condition. Implications for rehabilitation Biofeedback is an effective means of improving motor control of post-stroke spastic patients. The Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold is a more sensitive quantitative measure to assess upper-limb post-stroke spasticity. Spastic patients who participate in myofeedback training along with physical therapy can improve faster then those who participate only in traditional physical therapy rehabilitation protocols.

Unilateral wrist extension training after stroke improves strength and neural plasticity in both arms.
This study shows that high-intensity training with the neurologically less affected "non-paretic" arm can improve strength bilaterally and alter both spinal and cortical plasticity. The extent to which this plasticity can be enhanced or functionally exploited remains to be examined. PMID: 29730752 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Exploiting Interlimb Arm and Leg Connections for Walking Rehabilitation: A Training Intervention in Stroke.
Abstract Rhythmic arm and leg (A&L) movements share common elements of neural control. The extent to which A&L cycling training can lead to training adaptations which transfer to improved walking function remains untested. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of A&L cycling training as a modality to improve locomotor function after stroke. Nineteen chronic stroke (>six months) participants were recruited and performed 30 minutes of A&L cycling training three times a week for five weeks. Changes in walking function were assessed with (1) clinical tests; (2) strength during isometric...

Dual-afferent sensory input training for voluntary movement after stroke: A pilot randomized controlled study.
CONCLUSIONS: DASI stimulates voluntary movement in patients, causes rapid activation of the cerebral cortex, and reduces excessive excitation of spinal motor neurons. Therefore, DASI, which stimulates voluntary movement, has a greater effect on brain activation in stroke patients. PMID: 28222553 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Virtual reality and serious game therapy for post-stroke individuals: A preliminary study with humanized rehabilitation approach protocol humanized rehabilitation approach
CONCLUSION: The intervention had no adverse effects, showed a high degree of compliance, provided increased ROM, improved QOL, reduced spasticity and allowed these individuals the opportunity to test a promising technology for upper limb rehabilitation with emphasis in humanized aspects of therapy.PMID:36343422 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctcp.2022.101681

Concurrent neuromechanical and functional gains following upper-extremity power training post-stroke
Background: Repetitive task practice is argued to drive neural plasticity following stroke. However, current evidence reveals that hemiparetic weakness impairs the capacity to perform, and practice, movements appropriately. Here we investigated how power training (i.e., high-intensity, dynamic resistance training) affects recovery of upper-extremity motor function post-stroke. We hypothesized that power training, as a component of upper-extremity rehabilitation, would promote greater functional gains than functional task practice without deleterious consequences.MethodNineteen chronic hemiparetic individuals were studied u...

Postactivation depression changes after robotic-assisted gait training in hemiplegic stroke patients
This study provides the first demonstration that physical exercise can determine a partial normalization of postactivation depression in hemiparetic patients with spasticity following unilateral hemispheric stroke.

Control of functional movements in healthy and post-stroke subjects: Role of neural interlimb coupling.
Abstract In recent years it has become evident that, in a number of functional movements, synergistically acting limbs become task-specifically linked by a soft-wired 'neural coupling' mechanism (e.g. the legs during balancing, the arms and legs during gait and both arms during cooperative hand movements). Experimentally this mechanism became evident by the analysis of reflex responses as a marker for a neural coupling. It is reflected by the task-specific appearance of reflex EMG responses to non-noxious nerve stimulation, not only in muscles of the stimulated limb, but also, with same long latency, in muscles of...

Acute effects of mixed circuit training on hemodynamic and cardiac autonomic control in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients: A randomized controlled crossover trial
Conclusion: A single bout of MCT elicited prolonged PEH in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. This occurred concurrently with increased sympathovagal balance and lowered SVR, suggesting vasodilation capacity is a major determinant of PEH in these patients. This clinical trial was registered in the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (RBR-5dn5zd), available at https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-5dn5zd.Clinical Trial Registration:https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-5dn5zd, identifier RBR-5dn5zd
