Characteristics of peer-based interventions for individuals with neurological conditions: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: Various peer-based interventions exist, each with its own definition of what it means to be a peer. Research using rigorous methodology is needed to determine the most effective interventions. Clear definitions of each program component are needed to better understand the outcomes and mechanism of action within each intervention.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONRehabilitation services can draw on various peer support interventions to add experiential knowledge and support based on shared experience to enhance outcomes.Fulfilling the role of peer mentor may be beneficial and could be encouraged as part of the reha...

Return to Work for People With Aphasia
Right now, about 2.5 million people in the United States are living with aphasia after stroke.1 Aphasia can make it difficult to talk, listen, read, and/or write. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it can also happen after a traumatic brain injury (eg, blow to the head), a brain tumor, brain infection, or a neurodegenerative disease (eg, Alzheimer's dementia).2 Many people with aphasia are of working age, and this number is going up as more young people in the United States are sustaining stroke.

The impact of aphasia on Internet and technology use.
CONCLUSIONS: It is clear that aphasia often negatively affects Internet use and proficiency. However, this research clearly demonstrates that it is important to consider the influence of factors such as age, proxy use, education, and previous technology use and experience. Implications for rehabilitation Post-stroke aphasia contributes negatively to Internet use, particularly in the use of online communication tools such as email and messaging services. Sub-groups of people with aphasia are likely to be more vulnerable to exclusion from the benefits of the Internet; specifically, older people and those with lower levels of...

Perspectives on neurorehabilitation of unilateral impairments through cross-education.
Conclusion: Cross-education may serve as a viable option for those patients presenting severe unilateral weakness who are not able to fully exercise their weaker side directly. However, it should not be recommended straightaway if the training goal is to improve outcomes other than strength. As such, contralateral training may prove as a primer to establish a minimum level of strength that may suffice to sustain direct training, which has been proved to prompt more meaningful functional changes. Implications for rehabilitation Cross-education consists of training the stronger limb to increase strength in the untrained weak...
