Floor-to-Stand Performance Among People Following Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The TSS demonstrates concurrent validity with physical performance measures.IMPACT: Findings serve to improve functional mobility examination after stroke and to formulate effective treatment interventions to improved floor-to-stand performance.PMID:37690073 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad122

Effects of kinesthetic illusion induced by visual stimulation on the ankle joint for sit-to-stand in a hemiparesis stroke patient: ABA' single-case design
Conclusion] Kinesthetic illusion induced by visual stimulation for a hemiparesis stroke patient affected the ankle dorsiflexion function, resulting in an improved asymmetry during sit-to-stand as assessed by weight-bearing symmetry values.PMID:35035082 | PMC:PMC8752272 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.65

Prevalence of Walking Limitation after Acute Stroke and its Impact on Discharge to Home
CONCLUSION: Approximately half of patients with first-ever stroke present with lower extremity weakness and walking limitation. Early walking ability is a significant predictor of returning home after acute hospitalization, independent of stroke severity. Discharge planning may be facilitated early after stroke with the familiar assessment of walking ability.IMPACT: An early assessment of walking function within days of stroke admission can help to streamline discharge planning.LAY SUMMARY: Nearly half of all individuals who experience a first-time stroke have walking difficulty when they arrive to the hospital. The severi...

The Progress of the Gait Impairment and Brain Activation in a Patient with Post-stroke Hemidystonia
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that there was improvement of the patient's symptoms of post-stroke hemidystonia due to changes in the brain activity during voluntary movement after BWS intervention. Body weight-supported treadmill training may thus be an effective treatment for patients with poststroke hemidystonia.PMID:34532214 | PMC:PMC8419483 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10032

Brain Function Changes Induced by Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression in Patients with Stroke as Assessed by Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
CONCLUSIONS: The significantly increased WA values in the frequency intervals III, IV, and V in the MC of patients with ischemic stroke might be related to cortical activity in the MC in addition to increased cerebral perfusion. The decreased LI values in the prefrontal cortex and MC indicated that the ISPC may have had a positive effect on the functional rehabilitation of these regions.IMPACT: This study provides a method for assessing the effects of ISPC on cerebral oscillations, and the results benefit the optimization of ISPC parameters in personalized treatment for the functional recovery of patients with stroke.PMID:...

Patients With Greater Stroke Severity and Premorbid Disability Are Less Likely to Receive Therapist Consultations and Intervention During Acute Care Hospitalization.
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 1 in 4 participants with acute stroke received neither a consultation nor an intervention. Efforts to improve the delivery of acute care therapy services are needed to optimize care for these people. PMID: 31390013 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
