Inclusion of stroke patients in expanded cardiac rehabilitation services: a cross-national qualitative study with cardiac and stroke rehabilitation professionals.
CONCLUSIONS: Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation programmes could be tailored to deliver stroke-specific education, exercises and multidisciplinary expertise. Post-stroke cognitive impairment was identified as a key barrier to participation in cardiac rehabilitation. A cognitive rehabilitation intervention could potentially be delivered as part of cardiac rehabilitation, to address the cognitive needs of stroke and cardiac patients. Implications for rehabilitation The cardiac rehabilitation model has the potential to be expanded to include mild stroke patients given the commonality of secondary prevention needs. Up to half of st...

Changes in stroke rehabilitation during the SARS-CoV-2 shutdown in Switzerland
CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 shutdown had measurable immediate, but no persistent, effects on post-stroke outcomes, except for depression. Importantly, a 2-month reduction in therapy may trigger improvements when therapy is fully re-initiated thereafter.PMID:34927210 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v53.1118

Effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on serum BDNF and motor learning in the upper-limb in patients after chronic-stroke: A randomized, controlled feasibility study with embedded health economic evaluation
CONCLUSION: The study is feasible with modifications. Future studies should compare high-intensity versus moderate-intensity aerobic-exercise combined with higher dosage arm-training.PMID:36806518 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-220239

Evaluation of a shortened version of the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) for upper extremity function after stroke: The Mini-ARAT
CONCLUSION: The Mini-ARAT is a time-effective tool able to capture the dynamics of motor deficits with high reliability and consistency, providing excellent information about residual motor functions, which is critically important for clinical and research purposes.PMID:35522473 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221097322
