Arm Subscore of Motricity Index to Predict Recovery of Upper Limb Dexterity in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions Early arm subscore of the Motricity Index at 1 wk predicts upper limb functional capacity before inpatient rehabilitation facility discharge and at 3-mo outpatient follow-up.

Site and size of lesion predict post-stroke spasticity: A retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study.
CONCLUSION: Large stroke volumes might predict post-stroke spasticity if the lesion is > 3 cm3 in size and if the lesion is located within the middle cerebral artery territory with involvement of the pyramidal tract and/or internal capsule. Lesion size ≤ 2 cm3 outside the middle cerebral artery territory is associated with lower risk of post-stroke spasticity. PMID: 32179931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patients self-reported versus objective clinical measures of improvement of upper limb capacity after stroke: Are they matching?
CONCLUSION: The match between observational and self-reported measures of upper limb capacity is not dependent on the timing of assessment post-stroke. Assessment of both observational and self-reported measures may help to recognize possible over- or under-estimation of improvement in upper limb capacity post-stroke.

Validity of an enhanced EQ-5D-5L measure with an added cognitive dimension in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The EQ-5D-5L+C, which includes a cognitive domain that is highly significant for stroke patients, showed increased content validity and good discriminative ability, without losing internal consistency. PMID: 32070131 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of the introduction of objective criteria for referral and discharge in physical therapy for ischemic stroke in China: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Introduction of a set of rules for referral and therapy input at different stages of rehabilitation partially improved patients' ADL and quality of life, but did not improve motor function. PMID: 31875687 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Additional validation study and French cross-cultural adaptation of the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure–Summary of Impressions (PSOM-SOI)
Conclusion: The IRR of the French PSOM-SOI gave variable results depending on the item and rater’s experience, but the extent of disagreements was minor for individual items and total score. Additional prospective validation studies using the French PSOM-Short Neurological Exam to score the PSOM-SOI are needed. A dichotomized total score (cutoff ≤ 0.5) could be used to define normal function versus poor outcome.

Inflamatory Leaching of Cerebral Tissue of Damaged Vascular Brain Regions by Monomeric C-Reactive Protein
Ourselves and others have previously shown the importance of mCRP in the induction of inflammation and in addition, the prevalence of the monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP) form in the brains of individuals with dementia, after ischaemic stroke and following other brains vascular damage or degeneration.

Physical activity on prescription at the time of stroke or transient ischemic attack diagnosis - from a patient perspective.
Conclusion: Individuals need to participate in the prescription process when prescription on physical activity is initiated in acute stroke care and clinicians need to reflect on how the prescription is implemented and followed-up; creating good conditions for long-term effects. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION When prescribing physical activity on prescription healthcare providers in acute stroke care need to consider: • The right timing: when and how physical activity on prescription should be given. • How to create opportunities for individuals to participate in the prescription process. • How to create indiv...

Thermotherapy Combined With Therapeutic Exercise Improves Muscle Strength and Depression in Patients With Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSION: The intervention increased muscle strength and decreased depression during the first 3 months after stroke onset. The significant effects were found beginning during the third week of the intervention. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This intervention is inexpensive and can be easily applied by caregivers at home.

Swallowing evaluation in patients without restriction of oral food three months after ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: No significant changes in swallowing dynamics were found in patients with no dysphagia symptoms and no restriction of food intake three months after isquemic stroke. PMID: 31450522 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patient readiness for risk-reduction education and lifestyle change following transient ischemic attack.
Conclusion: Readiness for risk-reduction education and lifestyle change following transient ischemic attack is individual and complex. Logistical factors including the location, time, and cost of education, timing of education delivery, and patient perspectives should be considered in the development and delivery of secondary prevention interventions for these people. Implications for rehabilitation Risk reduction and lifestyle change following transient ischemic attack is vital to prevent recurrent stroke. Patients are ready to receive risk reduction and lifestyle advice approximately one week after their transient ischem...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of cardiac rehabilitation interventions on cognitive impairment following stroke.
Conclusions: This review highlights that there are very few studies of delivery of cardiac rehabilitation to stroke patients and that the inclusion of cognitive interventions is even less common, despite the high prevalence of post-stroke cognitive impairment. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION The cardiac rehabilitation model has the potential to be expanded to include patients post-stroke given the commonality of secondary prevention needs, thereby becoming a cardiovascular rehabilitation model. Up to half of patients experience cognitive impairment after stroke; suggesting that a post-stroke cardiovascular rehabilitation m...

Cognitive oriented strategy training augmented rehabilitation (COSTAR) for ischemic stroke: a pilot exploratory randomized controlled study.
Conclusion: Negligible findings may be attributed to an inadvertent treatment group equivalency. Further, the research design did not allow for adequate measurement of the effect of each intervention on participants' ability to generalize learned skills. Implications for rehabilitation Stroke rehabilitation is largely based upon the principles of task-specific training, which is associated with improvements in upper extremity motor performance; however, TST requires a heavy dosage and lacks generalization to untrained activities. Cognitive strategy use has been associated with improved generalization of treatment to untrai...
