Self-management: challenges for allied healthcare professionals in stroke rehabilitation - a focus group study.
Conclusion: Professional perceptions and beliefs are important factors to take into account when implementing stroke self-management programmes.

Call for human contact and support: an interview study exploring patients' experiences with inpatient stroke rehabilitation and their perception of nurses' and nurse assistants' roles and functions.

Relationship between output from MIDI-keyboard playing and hand function assessments on affected hand after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that MIDI-keyboard playing has great potential as an assessment tool of hand function, especially hand dexterity in acute and subacute stroke patients. Further studies are needed to refine the specific keyboard playing tasks that increase responsiveness to traditional hand function tests.
