Measuring Autonomy and Functional Recovery after Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the world. This life-changing disease affects the patient, family, and society at large. It is a leading cause of human suffering and among the primary reasons for long-term, institutionalized care. The economic impact of stroke is huge; besides direct healthcare costs including rehabilitation, indirect costs such as lost productivity of patients and family caregivers and disability payments are huge.1 The management of patients who have had a stroke is complex with several phases of care that take priority during the course of the illness including (1) emergency treatme...

Campaign —Once Again Streptokinase Trials (COAST) in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Every year, 1.5 million people suffer from stroke worldwide, the leading cause of disability and the second most common cause of death.1 Stroke incidence in developing countries is much higher and is further rising,2 whereas access to effective acute stroke treatment is very limited. Only 1% stroke sufferers in developing countries have access to the highly expensive tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the only proven and recommended thrombolytic agent for acute ischemic stroke treatment.3

Incidence and risk factors of vascular dementia in Thai stroke patients
Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability worldwide. Besides physical disability in stroke survivors, vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) can prevent the patients from living independently. VCI or cognitive impairment from cerebrovascular disease is the second most common cause of dementia.1 VCI can follow ‘clinical’ stroke or occur in patients with no history of stroke. Those without history of clinical stroke should have sufficient cerebrovascular disease lesions detected by neuroimaging to cause cognitive impairment.

Coffee Consumption and Stroke Risk: Evidence from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of more than 2.4 Million Men and Women
Stroke remains the leading cause of disability and mortality globally. Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016, it was estimated that there were 13.7 million new stroke cases, 5.5 million deaths, 80.1 million prevalent cases, and 116.4 million disability-adjusted life-years.1 About 75% of stroke cases are ischemic, whereas the remaining cases are hemorrhagic.2 Stroke incidence increases with age. Well-known risk factors for stroke include personal history of hypertension, diabetes and cardiac diseases, unhealthy behavioral factors (heavy cigarette consumption, less physical inactivity, poor diet), and serious environmental risks.

Factors Influencing Sitting Ability During the Acute Post-Stroke Phase: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study in Japan
Stroke is the second leading cause of both death and disability worldwide.1 In Japan, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death2 and the second leading cause of being bedridden3 due to residual neurological and neuropsychological disorders. Long-term prognoses for stroke patients can be improved through acute stroke rehabilitation.4 Therefore, appropriate rehabilitation and mobilization at an early stage are necessary to improve functional prognoses after stroke.

miR-221 Exerts Neuroprotective Effects in Ischemic Stroke by Inhibiting the Proinflammatory Response
Ischemic stroke is a common neurological disorder worldwide and is associated with a high probability of permanent disability.2 Unfortunately, our response to stroke is still extremely limited. Thus, since the exploration of novel and effective strategies is still the focus and is a well-studied topic in stroke treatment, recent research has focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of stroke, especially as those mechanisms pertain to novel treatment targets. Emerging experimental data have confirmed that microRNAs (miRNAs) are essential regulatory factors in ischemic stroke and other neurological diseases.

Interactions of Cognitive and Physical Functions Associated with Toilet Independence in Stroke Patients
Every year, approximately 17 million people will experience their first stroke,1 which remains the second leading cause of death worldwide, with 5 ·5 million deaths in 2016.2 The mean global lifetime risk of stroke increased from 22.8% in 1990 to 24.9% in 2016.3 Also, stroke causes a greater range and complexity of disabilities compared to other chronic diseases.4,5 According to the World Health Organization, stroke causes permanent disabilit y to 5 million people each year.6 Following a stroke, there are various physical and cognitive impairments such as sensorimotor deficit of upper and lower limbs on the side contralat...

Influence of Type D Personality on Health Promoting Behaviours and Quality of Life in Stroke Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study in South Korea
Stroke has a worldwide incidence of 76 –119 per 100,000 people each year, and results in high mortality and disability.1 In South Korea, the annual incidence of stroke is 92.2 per 100,000 people; from 2013 to 2014, an estimated 795,000 people were affected by stroke.2 Worldwide, the incidence and prevalence of stroke are increasing con tinuously due to aging populations. By 2030, the occurrence of stroke is estimated to increase to about three times its current rate.3

Decision-Making on Referral to Primary Care Physiotherapy After Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
Worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability.1 Although incidence rates are expected to increase over the next few decades, survival rates are expected to improve. Consequently, more stroke survivors will have to learn to live with the consequences. After acute stroke care or rehabilitation, returning home is one of the primary goals for stroke survivors.2 In the Netherlands, 65 % of stroke survivors return home immediately after acute hospital care.3 The remaining 35% continue inpatient rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center (RC) or geriatric rehabilitation center (GRC) before returning home.

Stroke Risk Screening Scales (SRSS): Identification of Domain and Item Generation
Stroke is a principal cause of mortality and disability in Thailand and globally. Early and comprehensive risk identification would be critical to identify people at high risk for stroke. Therefore, a comprehensive stroke risk screening tool is needed to assess all possible stroke risks and potential at-risk populations. In the future, such an instrument would benefit early detection and stroke prevention planning.

Development of a Scoring System to Predict Prolonged Post-Stroke Dysphagia Remaining at Discharge from a Subacute Care Hospital to the Home
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide.1 One of the major post-stroke disabilities is dysphagia, which occurs in up to 80% of stroke patients.2,3 Post-stroke dysphagia is associated with not only physical problems (malnutrition, dehydration, and mortality)2 but also social and psychological well-being.4,5 Therefore, it is important to anticipate and intervene post-stroke dysphagia in the early stages and to share the predicted risk of long-term dysphagia among multidisciplinary professionals (e.g., physicians, nurses, physical therapists) and patient's families.

Computer Game Assisted Task Specific Exercises in the Treatment of Motor and Cognitive Function and Quality of Life in Stroke: A Randomized Control Study
Stroke is a debilitating neurological disorder and a major cause of disability.1 Disruption to motor function following stroke has detrimental effects on independence in activities of daily living (ADL); 25% to 74% of individuals with stroke require assistance or become completely dependent on others.2 In many developing countries, subacute-chronic stroke patients are not provided community based rehabilitation programs. As the burden of stroke is projected to increase in the coming years,3 the necessity for new, clinically effective treatment options will also increase.

Examination of Rehabilitation Intensity According to Severity of Acute Stroke: A Retrospective Study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disabilities among adults worldwide.1 Early rehabilitation after a stroke reduces mortality rates and the likelihood of institutional care and long-term disability; moreover, it enhances recovery and increases independence in activities of daily living (ADL).2 The 2016 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Guidelines for Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery recommends a minimum of 3 h of rehabilitative treatment per day for at least 5 days a week for post-stroke inpatients.

Mood and Cognitive Trajectories Over the First Year after Mild Ischemic Stroke
Cognitive and mood dysfunction are major contributors to post-stroke disability. The longer-term trajectories of mood and cognition post-stroke remain unclear, as do which cognitive domains decline, improve, or remain stable after stroke, and in which patients. We aimed to characterize the cognitive trajectories of mild ischemic stroke survivors over one year compared to stroke-free controls, and to investigate whether symptoms of anxiety and depression were associated with cognitive function.
