Effect of yoga on health-related quality of life in central nervous system disorders: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: With low to moderate quality of the evidence, yoga seems effective to improve HRQoL in people with Parkinson's disease. For multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, epilepsy and brain tumour, the quality of the evidence is still insufficient to conclude of the effectiveness of yoga.PMID:34053238 | DOI:10.1177/02692155211018429

Effectiveness of walking training on balance, motor functions, activity, participation and quality of life in people with chronic stroke: a systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression of recent randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: Treadmill and overground walking protocols consisting of ≥30 min sessions conducted at least 3 days per week for about 8 weeks are beneficial for improving motor impairments, activity limitations, participation, and quality of life in people with chronic stroke.Implications for rehabilitationTreadmill walking training is effective for improving balance and motor functions.Overground walking training improved significantly walking endurance, walking speed, participation and quality of life.Treadmill and overground walking protocols consisting of ≥30 min sessions conducted at least 3 days per week for about 8...

Additional validation study and French cross-cultural adaptation of the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure–Summary of Impressions (PSOM-SOI)
Conclusion: The IRR of the French PSOM-SOI gave variable results depending on the item and rater’s experience, but the extent of disagreements was minor for individual items and total score. Additional prospective validation studies using the French PSOM-Short Neurological Exam to score the PSOM-SOI are needed. A dichotomized total score (cutoff ≤ 0.5) could be used to define normal function versus poor outcome.

New factors that affect quality of life in patients with aphasia
Conclusion: Aphasia severity, mood disorders and functional limitations may have a negative effect on QoL in patients with aphasia. Also, for the first time, we show that fatigue has an important impact on QoL in this population. Specific management of this symptom might be beneficial and should be explored in future studies.

Botuloscope: 1-year follow-up of upper limb post-stroke spasticity treated with botulinum toxin
ConclusionThis is the first long-term follow-up of BoNT-A treatment for upper limb spasticity involving a large cohort independent of industry. Quality of life was improved by treating upper limb spasticity with BoNT-A, even at 5 years post-stroke. Personalizing objectives of the treatment amplified its efficacy. BoNT-A was a powerful analgesic when pain was spasticity-related. Treating the spastic upper limb also improved balance and gait abilities.

Use and psychometric properties of the Reintegration to Normal Living Index in rehabilitation: A systematic review
ConclusionDespite the increasing use of RNLI in clinical studies, some aspects of its psychometric properties are still poorly evaluated. In addition to the validity and reliability shown in different studies, further studies are needed to investigate other measurement properties such as responsiveness.

Validation of French upper limb Erasmus modified Nottingham Sensory Assessment in stroke
ConclusionsThe French EmNSA is a valid and reproducible scale that can be used for comprehensive and accurate assessment of somatosensory modalities in adults post-stroke. Taking less than 30 min to administer, the instrument has clinical utility for use in patients with cognitive comorbidities and at various stages of recovery in multidisciplinary clinical practice and research settings.

Decrease in post-stroke spasticity and shoulder pain prevalence over the last 15 years
ConclusionsDisabling spasticity and shoulder pain frequency in recent post-stroke patients decreased over the last 15 years, and functional abilities both at admission and discharge improved. Confirmation of these results in a multicentric study may be important evidence of an improvement in stroke healthcare both in stroke and physical and rehabilitation medicine units in the last 10 years in France and could affect future estimations of the need for rehabilitation care after stroke.
