Prescribing Aerobic Exercise Intensity without a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Post Stroke: Utility of the Six-Minute Walk Test
The objective of this study was to determine the utility of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) as a less resource-intensive alternative to CPET for prescribing exercise intensity to people post stroke with motor impairments.

Change in Coefficient of Fatigability Following Rapid, Repetitive Movement Training in Post-Stroke Spastic Paresis: A Prospective Open-Label Observational Study
In post-stroke patients, the possibility of performing an active ankle dorsiflexion movement is favorable for the recovery of gait. Moreover, the fatigue due to repetitive active ankle dorsiflexion could reduce the speed gait. We assessed the change in coefficient of fatigability of active ankle dorsiflexion after a home-based self-rehabilitative procedure in post-stroke patients.

Is the Intensity or Duration of Treadmill Training Important for Stroke Patients? A Meta-Analysis
Stroke, the third highest cause of death after cancer and cardiac diseases, is a strong cause of adult disability in most countries. Therefore, the aim of the current meta-analysis was to examine the most effective intensity and duration of treadmill training on motor performance in stroke subjects.

Improving Cognitive Function in Patients with Stroke: Can Computerized Training Be the Future?
Cognitive impairment after stroke is common and can cause disability with a high impact on quality of life and independence. Cognitive rehabilitation is a therapeutic approach designed to improve cognitive functioning after central nervous system's injuries. Computerized cognitive rehabilitation (CCR) uses multimedia and informatics resources to optimize cognitive compromised performances. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of pc cognitive training with Erica software in patients with stroke.

Impact of General Practitioner Transient Ischemic Attack Training on 90-Day Stroke Outcomes: Secondary Analysis of a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Many patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) receive initial assessments by general practitioners (GPs) who may lack TIA management experience. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), we showed that electronic decision support for GPs improves patient outcomes and guideline adherence. Some stroke services prefer to improve referrer expertise through TIA/stroke education sessions instead of promoting TIA decision aids or triaging tools. This is a secondary analysis of whether a GP education session influenced TIA management and outcomes.

Effect of Early and Intensive Rehabilitation after Ischemic Stroke on Functional Recovery of the Lower Limbs: A Pilot, Randomized Trial
Objective: We aimed to develop an early and intense lower extremity training technique using a recumbent cycle ergometer system in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: This was a pilot, prospective, randomized, controlled study with 2 parallel groups followed for 3 months with blinded assessment of outcomes. Thirty-one eligible patients were randomized to experimental and control groups. To strengthen the motion of the lower extremities within 48 hours after stroke, the control and experimental groups received conventional treatment and additional interventions under a therapist's guidance combined with convention...

Effects of Action Observation Training with Auditory Stimulation on Static and Dynamic Balance in Chronic Stroke Patients
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of action observation physical training accompanied by rhythmic auditory stimulation on the balance abilities of patients with stroke. Method: In total, 30 patients with stroke at more than 6 months after the onset of the disease were included in the present investigation. Experimental programs were employed for 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The audiovisual action observation training (AAO) group received action observation training with rhythmic auditory stimulation at a comfortable speed and physical training, and the visual action observat...

Effects of Exoskeletal Lower Limb Robot Training on the Activities of Daily Living in Stroke Patients: Retrospective Pre-Post Comparison Using Propensity Score Matched Analysis
There is limited evidence of gait training using newly developed exoskeletal lower limb robot called Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) on the function and ability to perform ADL in stroke patients. In clinical settings, we frequently find it challenging to conduct a randomized controlled trial; thus, a large-scale observational study using propensity score analysis methods is a feasible alternative. The present study aimed to determine whether exoskeletal lower limb robot training improved the ability to perform ADL in stroke patients.

Robot-assisted Gait Training Using Welwalk in Hemiparetic Stroke Patients: An Effectiveness Study with Matched Control
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of gait training using Welwalk in hemiparetic stroke patients in a real clinical setting. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 36 hemiparetic stroke patients who underwent gait training using Welwalk. We examined the walking ability improvement efficiency using Functional Independence Measure (FIM)-walk as the primary outcome, which was compared with that of 36 patients (matched control group) who underwent conventional rehabilitation.

The Effects of Unilateral Versus Bilateral Motor Training on Upper Limb Function in Adults with Chronic Stroke: A Systematic Review
Rehabilitation goals for chronic stroke patients are largely focused around regaining functional ability and independence, with particular focus on upper limb motor function. Unilateral and Bilateral motor training may help achieve this. Our objective was to evaluate and compare the effects of unilateral and bilateral motor training on upper limb motor function in chronic stroke patients.
