Impaired force control contributes to car steering dysfunction in chronic stroke.
Conclusion: Stroke impairs the steering ability of the paretic hand. Although grip strength and force control of the paretic hand are diminished after stroke, only grip force control predicts steering accuracy. Deficits in grip force control after stroke contribute to functional limitations in performing skilled tasks with the paretic hand.Implications for rehabilitationDriving is an important goal for independent mobility after stroke that requires motor capability to manipulate hand and foot controls.Two prominent stroke-related motor impairments that may impact precise car steering are reduced grip strength and grip for...

Effect of social support and health education on depression scale scores of chronic stroke patients
The objective of this study was to explore the effect of social support on depression in chronic stroke patients and the relationship between demographic and disease characteristics. Total samples were randomly divided into an intervention group (n = 31) and a control group (n = 31). Sixteen social support interventions were performed over 8 weeks. Social support programs were implemented 2 times a week. Depressive symptoms were assessed at the second week, 4th week, 8th week, and 4 weeks after the end of the study using the 10-item Center for the Epidemiological Studies of Depression Short Form (CES-D10). There wa...

Factors Affecting Prognosis in Patients With Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage Under Medical and Surgical Treatment
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a vascular brain disease that causes very high rates of death and disability. Whether surgical or medical treatment is more appropriate is controversial. The purpose of the study was to examine the morbidity and mortality rates of surgical and medical therapy and their differences in order to determine which patients should be operated. In our study, the authors selected randomly and evaluated retrospectively 49 patients who were operated in Haydarpaşa Numune Research and Education Hospital Neurosurgery Clinic and 51 patients who received medical therapy at Neurology Clinic ...

GETCare: Development of a Comprehensive Education and Training Program For Care-Partners Post-Stroke
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, with spousal partners often filling a significant role as caregivers after loved ones return home. Without adequate resources, this new role can lead to increased burden and depression for care-partners, and decreased rehabilitation effectiveness for stroke survivors. Research suggests the quality and amount of education provided to care-partners is severely lacking and there is need for improved services and resources. The purpose of this project was to conduct a needs assessment, create the GETCare program, and gather stakeholder feedback in prepar...

170 Admissions to a Stroke Unit in an Irish Rehabilitation Hospital: A Review from Speech and Language Therapy
ConclusionCCDs are highly prevalent and represented the largest subtype of communication disorders in this cohort. FIMFAM scores appear useful in assessing CCDs however they display insufficient sensitivity in capturing change within this population. This audit highlights the need for further interdisciplinary research, education and training into cognitive-communication difficulties with post-stroke populations.

Every person is an individual: physical therapist clinical reasoning used in inpatient rehabilitation for walking assistive device prescription in patients with stroke and brain injury.
Conclusions: Results from this study revealed complexity in the clinical reasoning process used in physical therapy practice to determine the best walking assistive device for patients with stroke and brain injury during inpatient rehabilitation. Information from this study can inform post-acute physical therapy practice and education, and may reduce device abandonment. Implications for rehabilitation Clinical reasoning (CR) is a complex process in which a clinician must consider multiple factors, which requires non-linear and iterative thinking, and involves many people, making it shared among the patient, caregivers, and...

Key informants' perspectives on implementing caregiver programs in an organized system of stroke care.
Conclusions: This study provides initial insight into the potential barriers and facilitators needed to develop and implement stroke caregiver programs. Further exploration of these topics can inform caregiver program development and their implementation into stroke systems of care. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Rehabilitation research needs to demonstrate that caregivers are a unique group in need of support from the health care system. Rehabilitation research needs to contribute to the evidence that caregiver programs can improve patient, caregiver, and health system outcomes. Researchers can enhance caregiver program ...

Health system challenges affecting rehabilitation services in South Africa.
This article presents challenges and solutions to ensure that South Africa can meet WHO 2030 Rehabilitation Goals for equitable provision of effective public rehabilitation services using the WHO's health system building block framework. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION To meet the challenge of providing rehabilitation for those in need requires country-specific, strategic, evidence-informed, and planned decisions in terms of best investment for highest return. Whilst there is sound international evidence for best-practice rehabilitation care, country-specific strategies are required to identify and address local barriers t...

Hypertensive Patients' Knowledge of Risk Factors and Warning Signs of Stroke at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Authors: Abate AT, Bayu N, Mariam TG Abstract Background: Stroke is a neurological condition which is a major cause of death and disability in many low- and middle-income countries. However, several modifiable risk factors are becoming significant. Hypertension is the most common stroke risk factor globally as well as in our country, Ethiopia. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess hypertensive patients' knowledge of risk factors and warning signs of stroke at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2018. Method: An institutional based cross-sectional study design was conducted in May 01...

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...

Perspectives on neurorehabilitation of unilateral impairments through cross-education.
Conclusion: Cross-education may serve as a viable option for those patients presenting severe unilateral weakness who are not able to fully exercise their weaker side directly. However, it should not be recommended straightaway if the training goal is to improve outcomes other than strength. As such, contralateral training may prove as a primer to establish a minimum level of strength that may suffice to sustain direct training, which has been proved to prompt more meaningful functional changes. Implications for rehabilitation Cross-education consists of training the stronger limb to increase strength in the untrained weak...
