No evidence of effectiveness of mirror therapy early after stroke: an assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION:: Compared with sham therapy, mirror therapy did not add additional benefit to upper-limb recovery early after stroke. PMID: 30672304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation combined with intensive physical therapy for gait disturbance after hemorrhagic stroke: an open-label case series
In this pilot study, we aimed to determine the safety and feasibility of a 15-day protocol consisting of in-hospital repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) combined with intensive physical therapy for the recovery of the gait disturbance in chronic stroke patients with lower limb hemiparesis. Seven hemorrhagic stroke patients with lower limb hemiparesis and gait disturbance (age: 50–78; time from onset of stroke: 7–107 months) were enrolled. rPMS was applied to the muscles of the paretic lower limb with a parabolic coil. A train of stimuli at a frequency of 20 Hz was applied for 3 s followed by a 27-s ...

Motor Recovery of the Ipsilesional Upper Limb in Subacute Stroke
Conclusions: Our findings provide evidence that ipsilesional motor capacities remain impaired at least 3 months after stroke, even if clinical tests fail to detect the impairment. Focusing on this lasting ipsilesional impairment through a more detailed kinematic analysis could be of interest to understand the specific neural network underlying ipsilesional upper-limb impairment.

Normalization of Functional Independence Measure (FIMTM) variation improves assessment of stroke rehabilitation outcome.
CONCLUSION: There is strong evidence to support the proposal that it is advantageous to measure functional recovery by means of the normalized change in FIMTM score. Following a rehabilitation programme, functional recovery should be evaluated separately for motor and cognitive domains. Rehabilitation program should begin as soon as possible. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Improved assessment of rehabilitation outcome leads to increased achievement of a favourable treatment outcome. PMID: 25573600 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Evaluating Use of the Siebens Domain Management Model During Inpatient Rehabilitation to Increase Functional Independence and Discharge Rate to Home in Stroke Patients
Conclusions Use of the SDMM during stroke IR may convey improvement in functional independence and is associated with an increased discharge rate to home/community and a reduction in institutionalization and acute-care transfers.

Voiding dysfunction and cerebellum stroke in a child: Case report
We present a case of voiding symptoms after an isolated hemorrhagic cerebellum stroke of the right cerebellum hemisphere and the vermis in a 15 year-old boy with no medical history. The aim of this case is to show existence of a link between cerebellum and micturition. Observations Following the stroke, the patient described dysuria, confirmed by uroflowmetry, with significants post-voiding residuals. Cystometry showed no detrusor contraction and urethral profilometry showed an increase in sphincter tone. Discussion/conclusion The role of the cerebellum in the storage and control of the voiding phases was suggested in lite...

Depression one year after hemorrhagic stroke is associated with late worsening of  outcomes.
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to investigate depression one year after ICH. Post-ICH depression was common and associated with late worsening of disability unrelated to initial hemorrhage severity. Further research is needed to understand whether depression is caused by worsened disability, or whether the converse is true. PMID: 28505996 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

High Intensity Gait Training for Patient With Apraxia Following Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke
High intensity gait training (HIGT) has strong research evidence for improved gait outcomes post-stroke; however, few studies address motor planning deficits within this framework. The purpose of this case study is to describe the application and outcomes of HIGT in a patient with apraxia undergoing inpatient rehabilitation after stroke.

Virtual reality for upper limb rehabilitation in sub-acute and chronic stroke: a randomized controlled trial
To evaluate the effectiveness of reinforced feedback in virtual environment (RFVE) treatment combined with conventional rehabilitation (CR) in comparison with CR alone, and to study whether changes are related to stroke aetiology (i.e. ischemic or hemorrhagic).

African Americans and Women Have Lower Functional Gains During Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation After Hemorrhagic Stroke
Conclusions The results of our study indicate that Functional Independence Measure efficiency was worse for African Americans and female patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Future research should consider these racial and sex disparities and focus on providing targeted rehabilitation therapy.

Prestroke Weight Loss Is Associated With Poststroke Mortality Among Men in the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study
Abstract: Objective: To examine baseline prestroke weight loss and poststroke mortality among men.Design: Longitudinal study of late-life prestroke body mass index (BMI), weight loss, and BMI change (midlife to late life) with up to 8-year incident stroke and mortality follow-up.Setting: Community-based aging study data.Participants: Japanese-American men (N=3581; age range, 71–93y) who were stroke free at baseline.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure: Poststroke mortality: 30 days poststroke, analyzed with stepwise multivariable logistic regression; and long-term poststroke (up to 8y), analyzed with stepwi...

Predicting walking ability in hemiplegic patients with putaminal hemorrhage: an observational study in a rehabilitation hospital.
CONCLUSIONS: CT imaging at stroke onset can provide useful information when examining walking independence and indicate necessity for an orthosis at the time of discharge to the rehabilitation ward. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This study might help to better understand the role of neuroimaging in stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 31976635 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
