Activity monitors for increasing physical activity in adult stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: Only four small RCTs with 274 participants (three in inpatient rehabilitation and one in the community) have examined the efficacy of activity monitors for increasing physical activity after stroke.

Projected stroke volumes to provide a 10-year direction for New Zealand stroke services.
CONCLUSION: Efforts to optimise stroke service performance and, increasingly, stroke prevention are required to ensure that the New Zealand Health Service will be able to manage the increased volumes of patients. Better data is required to validate the presented figures, which are largely based on unvalidated health administrative data.

New Zealand hospital stroke service provision.

These results, in conjunction with an ongoing (REGIONS Care) study, will be used to determine whether this affects patient outcomes.

Incidence of stroke and traumatic brain injury in New Zealand: contrasting the BIONIC and ARCOS-IV studies.
CONCLUSIONS: Differences in TBI and stroke incidence suggest targeting prevention very differently for the two groups. Incidence profiles suggest TBI is much more common; and a need to target males and those of Māori ethnicity for TBI prevention.
