Intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Italian Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper and lower extremity
CONCLUSIONS: The Italian version of the FMA showed to be a reliable instrument that can therefore be recommended for clinical and research purposes.Implications for rehabilitationThe FMA is the gold standard for assessing stroke patients' sensorimotor impairment worldwide.The Italian Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) is substantially reliable within and between two raters at the item, subtotal, and total score level in patients with sub-acute stroke.The use of FMA in the Italian context will provide an opportunity for international comparisons and research collaborations.PMID:36...

The Resonating Arm Exerciser: design and pilot testing of a mechanically passive rehabilitation device that mimics robotic active assistance
Conclusions: These results demonstrate that a simple mechanical device that snaps onto a manual wheelchair can use resonance to assist arm training, and that such training shows potential for safely increasing arm movement ability for people with severe chronic hemiparetic stroke.

Effectiveness of neuromuscular taping on painful hemiplegic shoulder: a randomised clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that NMT decreases pain and increases the ROM in subjects with shoulder pain after a stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Painful hemiplegic shoulder is a frequent complication after stroke with negative impacts on functional activities and on quality of life of people, moreover restricts rehabilitation intervention. Neuromuscular taping is a technique introduced by David Blow for the treatment of neuromuscoloskeletal problems. This study shows the reduction of pain and the improvement of range of motion after the application of an upper limb neuromuscular taping. Rehabilitation profes...

The Analgesic Effect of Abobotulinum and Incobotulinum Toxins Type A in Central Poststroke Pain: Two Case Reports
The International Association for the Study of Pain defines central pain as “pain initiated or caused by primary lesion or dysfunction of the central nervous system” [1]. If it results from a stroke, it is referred to as central poststroke pain (CPSP) [1]. CPSP prevalence reports vary from 8% to 46% [3-5]. This wide variation is possibly related to the heterogeneity of stroke lesions between the populations surveyed, differences in study design, and different timing of evaluations after stroke [6].

Frequency and characteristics of goal attainment following BoNT-A injection for management of spasticity.
CONCLUSIONS: Although active goals are commonly identified by people with spasticity, passive goals were more likely to be achieved following BoNT-A injection. A long duration of spasticity does not preclude patients from achieving mobility and transfer goals. Non-stroke participants were more likely to achieve mobility and transfer goals. Implications for Rehabilitation Patients with chronic spasticity should be considered for BoNT-A as clinically meaningful outcomes can be achieved. When spasticity is present in multiple muscles, the GAS can be an assistive tool to guide clinicians in determining which muscles are a prio...

Demystifying Poststroke Pain: From Etiology to Treatment
Pain after stroke is commonly reported but often incompletely managed, which prevents optimal recovery. This situation occurs in part because of the esoteric nature of poststroke pain and its limited presence in current discussions of stroke management. The major specific afflictions that affect patients with stroke who experience pain include central poststroke pain, complex regional pain syndrome, and pain associated with spasticity and shoulder subluxation. Each disorder carries its own intricacies that require specific approaches to treatment and understanding.

Technologically-advanced assessment of upper-limb spasticity: a pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: By using the robotic device some spasticity parameters can be continuously recorded during the rehabilitation treatment in order to objectively measure the effectiveness of the interventions provided. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The standardized evaluation parameters recorded using robotic devices may provide several advantages: 1) the measures for spasticity assessment can be monitored during every rehabilitation session (even during each movement), 2) these measurements are able to highlight even small changes, 3) the recovery plateau can be detected early thus avoiding further rehabilitation sessio...

Study regarding the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on spasticity
Discussion – conclusion The limits of the study are given by the small number of patients included, a lack of a medium and long-term assessment of the therapeutic effect evaluation and the absence of a placebo controlled group.

Prevalence and Treatment Characteristics of Spastic Hypertonia on First-Time Admission to Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation
Conclusions Spasticity is a common sequela of upper motor neuron injury for patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation. Early recognition and management are essential to prevent contractures, minimize pain, and maximize functional recovery.

Parameter mapping of hemiplegic shoulder electrical stimulation for motor function: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: Stimulation positions and parameters for electrical stimulation of the hemiplegic shoulder are inconsistent. Whether ES represents a significant treatment option remains unclear. Establishing universal ES methods is necessary to improve the motor function of hemiplegic shoulders.PMID:37424478 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-220301
