Prevalence of self-reported stroke and disability in the French adult population: A transversal study
Discussion These results thus demonstrate a high national prevalence of stroke. Older people are highly dependent, irrespective of stroke history and the relative risk of dependence in young subjects with a history of stroke is high compared with those without.

Stroke management: Informal caregivers’ burdens and strians of caring for stroke survivors
Conclusion and recommendation Caring for stroke survivors put social, emotional, health and financial burdens and strains on the informal caregivers. These burdens and strains increase with duration of stroke, intimacy, smaller number of caregivers and length of daily caregiving. Therefore, informal caregivers should be involved in the rehabilitation plan for stroke patients and their well-being should also be given adequate attention.

Postural and gait disorders in subacute stroke patients: Lateropulsion is the key
Discussion – conclusion Lateropulsion, which is a sign of biased representation of the vertical, is a primary cause of postural and gait disorders at the subacute phase after right hemisphere stroke, explaining almost 80% of balance and gait disabilities. A greater attention should be focused on the assessment and the rehabilitation of the post-stroke lateropulsion.

Participation in work and leisure activities after stroke: A national study
Conclusions. Overall, our study indicates that people with a history of stroke report more difficulties in participating in work and leisure activities than those without a history of stroke.

Recuperation of daily activities and quality of life after stroke: The EAVQ-QdV scale
Discussion A single questionnaire exploring different cognitive domains, and comparing patients’ and caregivers’ assessments, with the evaluation of the emotional impact of patients’ and caregivers’ difficulties may permit to obtain a better estimation of residual handicap in stroke patients.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation in motor rehabilitation after stroke: An update
Publication date: Available online 10 August 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): W. Klomjai, A. Lackmy-Vallée, N. Roche, P. Pradat-Diehl, V. Marchand-Pauvert, R. Katz Stroke is a leading cause of adult motor disability. The number of stroke survivors is increasing in industrialized countries, and despite available treatments used in rehabilitation, the recovery of motor functions after stroke is often incomplete. Studies in the 1980s showed that non-invasive brain stimulation (mainly repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS] and transcranial direct current stimulation [t...

Effectiveness of upper-limb robotic-assisted therapy in the early rehabilitation phase after stroke: a single-blind, randomised, controlled trial
Conclusion. For the same duration of daily rehabilitation, RAT combined with conventional therapy during the early rehabilitation phase after stroke is more effective than conventional therapy alone to improve gross manual dexterity, upper-limb ability during functional tasks and patient social participation.

MRI ameliorates the prediction of further clinical evolution even months after ischemic stroke
Publication date: September 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Volume 58, Supplement 1 Author(s): V. Quintaine, H. Chabriat, E. Jouvent, A. Yelnik Background Late recovery after a first ischemic stroke is highly variable and its predictors are unknown. The present study aims at determining whether MRI data obtained one to four months after a first ischemic stroke help to predict clinical evolution up to 2 years. Methods Patients included in the PERFORM MRI study, an ancillary study of the PERFORM randomized control trial of terutroban against aspirin in secondary prevention of vascular ische...

Adding electrical stimulation during standard rehabilitation after stroke to improve motor function. A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionElectrical sensory input can contribute to routine rehabilitation to improve early post-stroke lower-extremity impairment and late motor function, with no change in spasticity. Prolonged periods of sensory stimulation such as TENS combined with activity can have beneficial effects on impairment and function after stroke.

Clinical non-superiority of technology-assisted gait training with body weight support in patients with subacute stroke: A meta-analysis
Conclusions. TAGT with BWS was not superior to COT in improving post-stroke recovery in patients with subacute stroke. Strategies other than simply increasing the repetitions by external assistance may be considered to augment the treatment effects of TAGT.

Feasibility of a self-rehabilitation program for the upper limb for stroke patients in Benin
Discussion and conclusion Self-rehabilitation programs are feasible and inexpensive as they do not involve a therapist. It is then a promising approach in stroke rehabilitation, particularly in developing countries, where rehabilitation costs are usually supported by patients.

Similarities and differences in perception of disability between patients after a stroke and general practitioners, a pilot study
Discussion GP have a good perception of the troubles of their patients, except for the romantic and sexual relationships, as well as group hobby. This involves coordination between PRM and GP in order to improve the assessment of PR and the environment of post-stroke patients.
