Impact of rehabilitation start time on functional outcomes after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Starting post-stroke rehabilitation on the day of admission or second day of hospitalization may be the optimum timing for functional outcomes. However, for haemorrhagic stroke, starting rehabilitation on the second day of hospitalization may be more effective than on the day of admission. PMID: 33284355 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Longitudinal changes in life-space mobility and the factors influencing it among chronic community-dwelling post-stroke patients
CONCLUSIONS: Life-space mobility may persistently decline, and gait function may be a determinant influencing these changes in community-dwelling chronic post-stroke patients.Implications for RehabilitationLimited life-space mobility leads to less frequent participation in social activities and an increased risk of adverse health outcomes such as hospitalization.Changes in life-space mobility should be considered in the rehabilitation care plan for chronic post-stroke patients.Life-space mobility may decline persistently in stable post-stroke patients, even if they have periodically received day-care rehabilitation service...

The effects of rehabilitation therapy duration on functional recovery of persons with subacute stroke stratified by individual's age: a retrospective multicenter study
CONCLUSIONS: For persons with subacute stroke in rehabilitation hospitals, a higher duration of daily rehabilitation therapy was associated with better functional recovery in the 70-79 years group and ≥80 years groups. Understanding the responsiveness of persons with stroke to rehabilitation therapy by age group helps to better allocate medical resources and develop more effective approaches.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: An increased duration of daily rehabilitation therapy may be helpful in older adults with stroke selected for intensive rehabilitation for improvement of basic daily functioning.PMID:36052892 | DOI:10....

Right as well as left unilateral spatial neglect influences rehabilitation outcomes and its recovery is important for determining discharge destination in subacute stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: CBS is more useful than SIAS-M for prediction of functional outcomes in patients with both left and right hemisphere damages. Improvement of USN is important for returning home. Cognitive impairment may interfere with recovery of USN. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Improvements of USN are important for planning the rehabilitation goal and determination of discharge destination. PMID: 31134787 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prediction of life-space mobility in patients with stroke 2 months after discharge from rehabilitation: a retrospective cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: The predictive formula provides an objective measure of life-space mobility for stroke patients after discharge. The clinical application of this formula could help health care professionals working in stroke rehabilitation to prepare patients for discharge and to set concrete goals for in-hospital rehabilitation to improve life-space mobility after discharge. Implications for rehabilitation Accurate prediction of the prognosis for life-space mobility 2 months after discharge is useful in establishing clear goals for community-based rehabilitation. Long-term life-space mobility in the community is not only aff...

Assessment of changes in muscle mass, strength, and quality and activities of daily living in elderly stroke patients
This study included 179 patients. Patients received stroke rehabilitation 7 days a week individually. Muscle strength and quality significantly increased after 4 weeks on both the sides. Muscle mass decreased after 4 weeks; however, there was no significant difference between the two time points. Changes in muscle strength and quality showed a significant correlation with improvement in ADLs [r = 0.66 (male), 0.45 (female) and 0.55 (male), 0.31 (female), respectively]; however, muscle mass showed no correlation with improvement in ADLs. Poststroke rehabilitation improves muscle strength and quality, as well as ADLs. Muscle...

Psychometric properties of the TEMPA for the assessment of arm motor activity capacity in hemiparetic Japanese patients after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The most aspects of the Japanese TEMPA showed acceptable levels of inter-rater reliability and validity in patients with affected upper extremities after stroke.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe TEMPA is reliable and valid in measuring activity capacity of upper extremity in patients with stroke.The functional rating score of the TEMPA is recommended to assess activities related to daily living, especially when users need to focus on bimanual activities.The TEMPA may help guide intervention that improve bimanual activity as well as the affected arm activity.PMID:33847186 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1910352

Tone-inhibiting insoles enhance the reciprocal inhibition of ankle plantarflexors of post-stroke hemiparetic subjects: an electromyographic study
Conclusion Tone-inhibiting insoles enhanced RI of the soleus in post-stroke subjects, which might enhance standing stability by reducing unfavorable ankle plantarflexion tone.
