Cardiovascular Responses Associated with the Moving Beans Task: Influence of Psychological Characteristics
High blood pressure (BP) after stroke is associated with a poor outcome. However, exercise training or speech therapy for patients with stroke can raise the BP. The aim of this study was to examine cardiovascular responses during the moving beans task (MBT) used in occupational therapy and to study the influence of psychological characteristics on cardiovascular responses during this task in healthy subjects.

Functional Brain Stimulation in a Chronic Stroke Survivor With Moderate Impairment.
CONCLUSION: These data support the use of tDCS combined with RTP to decrease impairment and increase UE use in chronic stroke patients with moderate impairment. This finding is crucial, given the paucity of efficacious treatment approaches in this impairment level. PMID: 28422634 [PubMed - in process]

Digitized Hand Skateboard Based on IR-Camera for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
The objective of this study is to integrate IR-camera, an infrared emitter, with a conventional passive hand skateboard training device for conventional upper limb training and the training process is comprehensively recorded and analyzed. Patients participating in the occupational therapy have a binding band attached to hand skateboard on the table to guide the patient in moving the hand skateboard along the designated path to train the patient’s upper limbs. Six people wit h normal upper limb function participated in the stability test. The device repeatability and test results were verified acceptable. Eight patients ...

Experiences of the return to work process after stroke while participating in a person-centred rehabilitation programme.
CONCLUSION: Straightforward, open and recurring communication facilitated the possibility to adapt to the situation. These aspects increased insight and awareness which facilitated the RTW process. SIGNIFICANCE: The findings indicate that a precondition for a fruitful RTW process was that suitable platforms at work were created in which the actors involved could cooperate. This knowledge might also be valuable in the RTW process for people with other diagnosis. PMID: 27835933 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
