Anticipatory Postural Adjustments During Gait Initiation in Stroke Patients
Conclusion This systematic review provides an update on GI-APA reorganization following stroke. Stroke patients present atypical GI-APA patterns, longer GI-APA duration and lower GI-APA amplitude compared to healthy people, regardless of which leg is used as the leading or trailing leg. GI is facilitated when the non-paretic leg is used as the trailing leg because the weakness of the paretic leg leads to difficulties in supporting body weight during the upcoming stance phase. Further experiments should include distinct groups of patients in order to describe GI-APA features in acute, subacute and chronic stroke, and the i...

Responsiveness of the Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke
CONCLUSION: In addition to being reliable and valid, the RPSS is also responsive. Along with the FMA-UE, using RPSS scores can help present a more comprehensive picture of motor compensations to characterize post-stroke upper limb motor improvement.PMID:37178950 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.04.020

What does best evidence tell us about robotic gait rehabilitation in stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions The evaluation of the results confirm that the use of robotics can positively affect the outcome of a gait rehabilitation in patients with stroke. The effects of different devices seems to be similar on the most commonly outcome evaluated by this review.

Management of spasticity with onabotulinumtoxinA: practical guidance based on the italian real-life post-stroke spasticity survey.
Authors: Sandrini G, Baricich A, Cisari C, Paolucci S, Smania N, Picelli A Abstract The present paper provides practical guidance on the management of adult spasticity with OnabotulinumtoxinA. Advisory Board members reviewed the available evidence and discussed their personal experiences in order to address the unmet needs in the management of spasticity with botulinum toxin type A identified by the recent Italian Real-Life Post-Stroke Spasticity Survey. Stroke patients should be referred to spasticity services that have adequate facilities and multidisciplinary teams with the necessary training, competence and exp...

The effect of robot-assisted walking in different modalities on cardiorespiratory responses and energy consumption in patients with subacute stroke
DISCUSSION: By decreasing GF and BWS values during robot-assisted walking, adequate cardio-metabolic and energy response in both subacute stroke patients and healthy individuals could be achieved. These results show us that it is important to consider the cardiorespiratory function of the patient when choosing training protocols.PMID:36884354 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2188520

Efficacy of Robotic-Assisted Gait Training in chronic stroke patients: Preliminary results of an Italian bi-centre study.
CONCLUSIONS: Both rehabilitation treatments do not change the compensatory strategies in chronic patients but the RGT offers to the patients a more intensive and controlled gait training increasing the gait endurance and decreasing spasticity in the lower limb.

Sensors, Vol. 21, Pages 6739: Reactive Exercises with Interactive Objects: Interim Analysis of a Randomized Trial on Task-Driven NMES Grasp Rehabilitation for Subacute and Early Chronic Stroke Patients
Conclusions: The S2 system, developed according to shared clinical directives, was tested in a clinical proof of concept. Variations of ARAT scores confirm the feasibility of clinical investigation for hand rehabilitation after stroke.

Overground wearable powered exoskeleton for gait training in subacute stroke subjects: clinical and gait assessments.
CONCLUSIONS: OEAGT improved the clinical and gait outcomes in subacute patients. Randomized studies on larger samples are needed to confirm these data and to assess the efficacy of OEAGT. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Introduce innovative rehabilitation strategies based on personalised OEAGT. PMID: 30723189 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy of Robotic-Assisted Gait Training in sub-acute stroke patients: An Italian bi-centre study
Introduction: Over the last years, the introduction of robotic technologies in gait rehabilitation of stroke patients has had a greatest interest. Some studies have been conducted to assess the effects of robot-assisted training compared to gait conventional rehabilitation in sub-acute stroke patients. The main results were obtained in studies that used robotic exoskeletons or treadmill training with partial body weight support and only few papers used end-effector device [1]. To date, there are very few studies that have used gait analysis to show improvements in gait parameters after gait rehabilitation in sub-acute stroke patients [2].

Effects of computer-based therapy versus therapist-mediated therapy in stroke-related aphasia: Pilot non-inferiority study
CONCLUSIONS: The overall pattern of findings suggested computer-based intervention was not inferior to traditional therapist-based intervention for enhancing functional communication deficits in stroke-related aphasia during the acute phase of recovery. A follow-up, fully-powered clinical trial is needed to confirm the reliability of these results.PMID:34673449 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2021.106158
