Letter to the Editor on "The Effectiveness of the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Method on Gait Parameters in Patients with Stroke: A Systematic Review ”
We read with interest the article by Gunning et al ( “The Effectiveness of the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Method on Gait Parameters in Patients With Stroke: A Systematic Review”)1 and were moved to comment on the authors’ conclusions. The abstract of this article stated, “Current research suggests that PNF is an effective treatment for the improvement of gait parameters in patients with stroke.” Publication of such a statement led us to review the articles cited. We do not concur that these articles provide sufficient evidence that PNF is an effective treatment for improving gait parameters i...

The Association Between Sleep and Health-Related Quality of Life in Stroke Survivors
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends adults engage in a minimum of 7 hours of sleep per 24 hour interval to optimize health. Stroke recovery, with its foundations in neuroplasticity, is impacted by sleep. The purpose of this study was to examine stroke survivor data from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), and to compare self-reported measures of physical health (PH) and mental health (MH) for those individuals who met sleep guidelines to those who did not.

Life satisfaction in spouses of stroke survivors and control subjects: A 7-year follow-up of participants in the Sahlgrenska Academy study on ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Seven years after stroke, spouses of stroke survivors reported lower life satisfaction compared with spouses of controls. Life satisfaction in stroke survivors' spouses was associated with spouses' age, sex, giving support, and the stroke survivors' level of global disability.

Self-management programmes for people post stroke: a systematic review.
Conclusions:This review provides some preliminary support for the potential importance of self-management interventions after stroke. The most appropriate content and best approach for delivery of these interventions remains to be determined. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of stroke self-management programmes.
