Comparison between EQ-5D-5L and PROMIS-10 to evaluate health-related quality of life 3 months after stroke: a cross-sectional multicenter study.
CONCLUSIONS: Both EQ-5D-5L and PROMIS-10 prove to be useful instruments to evaluate HRQoL in patients who are living at home 3 months after stroke. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: It depends on the setting and underlying goal which patient-reported outcome measure is preferred to evaluate HRQoL 3 months after stroke. The PROMIS-10 should be preferred to detect differences in less affected stroke patients, whereas the EQ-5D-5L provides slightly more information in more affected stroke patients.

Systematic review of subjective memory measures to inform assessing memory limitations after stroke and stroke-related aphasia.
Conclusions: This literature domain currently provides an unclear picture as to how memory limitations affect participation in stroke and stroke-related aphasia. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION A broad range of subjective memory measures have been used to determine stroke survivors' perceptions of their everyday memory issues. Because of psychometric weaknesses such as inadequate reliability and cross-cultural validity among subjective memory measures, there remains a need to carefully review a given measure's properties to determine if it is appropriate for use with a given stroke survivor. Stroke survivors with aphasia h...

Validity of an enhanced EQ-5D-5L measure with an added cognitive dimension in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The EQ-5D-5L+C, which includes a cognitive domain that is highly significant for stroke patients, showed increased content validity and good discriminative ability, without losing internal consistency. PMID: 32070131 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The role of postural control in the association between aerobic capacity and walking capacity in chronic stroke: a cross-sectional analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest similar predictive validity of aerobic capacity for walking capacity in participants achieving VO2max compared to those only achieving VO2peak. Postural control confounds the association between aerobic capacity and walking capacity. Aerobic capacity remains a valid predictor of walking capacity. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Aerobic capacity is an important factor associated with walking capacity after stroke. However, to understand this relationship, postural control needs to be measured. Both aerobic capacity and postural control may need to be addressed during interventions aimin...

Development and validity of an innovative test to assess guideline-consistent clinical reasoning by physical therapists in stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: The script concordance test has good construct validity. Greater self-reported guideline knowledge, successful completion of the post-bachelor Dutch Neurorehabilitation course, as well as systematic participation in professional development activities facilitate important factors that enhance specialization. The script concordance test is a valid feedback tool for physical therapists to support professional development in the domain of stroke rehabilitation.

Standardized circuit class group training versus individualized goal-directed group training to improve upper limb function in stroke survivors during in-patient rehabilitation: a pragmatic trial
CONCLUSIONS: A standardized training could reduce the mental workload for therapists, but patients seemed less engaged. A combination of both might be most beneficial.Trial registration: Dutch Trial Register: NL8844 and NL9471IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONProviding a standardized training program after stroke reduces therapists' mental workload.Individualized goal-directed group training results in the best achievement of rehabilitation goals.A combination of standardized and individual training would use best of both intervention modalities.Patients should be involved in the co-creation developing process of training pro...

How many patients in a prolonged disorder of consciousness might need a best interests meeting about starting or continuing gastrostomy feeding?
CONCLUSION: Each year, about 5/100,000 people will enter a prolonged state of unconsciousness from acute onset and progressive brain damage; and at any one time, there may be 5/100,000 people in that state. However, the evidence is very limited in quality and quantity. The numbers may be greater. PMID: 29779405 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

How do healthcare professionals experience communication with people with aphasia and what content should communication partner training entail?
CONCLUSIONS: According to HCP, communication difficulties challenge the provision of healthcare activities and lead to negative feelings in HCP. HCP suggest that communication can be improved by providing more time in the healthcare pathway of people with aphasia, adapting healthcare information to the needs of people with aphasia, commitment of physicians and managers, changing the roles of SLTs and improving knowledge and skills of HCP. Implications for rehabilitation Communication between healthcare professionals (HCP) and people with aphasia can be improved by training HCP to use supportive conversation techniques and ...
