Rehabilitation Improves Behavioral Recovery and Lessens Cell Death Without Affecting Iron, Ferritin, Transferrin, or Inflammation After Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rats
Conclusions. Rehabilitation is an effective behavioral and neuroprotective strategy for ICH. Neither effect appears to stem from influencing iron toxicity or inflammation. Thus, additional work must identify underlying mechanisms to help further therapeutic gains.

Alterations In Muscle Coordination Following Robot-Assisted Gait Training In Hemiparetic Stroke: A Case Series (P3.047)
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that RAGT may be associated with improvements in muscle coordination. Required next is a randomized control trial to investigate the efficacy of RAGT in improving rhythmic muscle coordination patterns in hemiparetic stroke. This evaluation method is a novel way to assess improvement in gait that goes beyond purely clinical evaluation.Study Supported by: HealthSouth CorporationDisclosure: Dr. Thrasher has nothing to disclose.

Efficacy and Feasibility of Home-Based Training for Individuals With Homonymous Visual Field Defects
Conclusions. Home-based compensatory training is an inexpensive accessible rehabilitation option for individuals with HVFDs, which can result in objective benefits in searching and reading, as well as improving quality of life.

Spatial and Temporal Asymmetries in Gait Predict Split-Belt Adaptation Behavior in Stroke
Conclusion. This work demonstrates that stroke patients adapt toward their baseline temporal and spatial asymmetries of walking independently of one another. We define how a given split-belt training session would affect asymmetries in these domains, which must be considered when developing rehabilitation interventions for stroke patients.

Single Session of Dual-tDCS Transiently Improves Precision Grip and Dexterity of the Paretic Hand After Stroke
Conclusions. One bout of dual-tDCS improved the motor control of precision grip and digital dexterity beyond the time of stimulation. These results suggest that dual-tDCS should be tested in longer protocols for neurorehabilitation and with moderate to severely impaired patients. The precise timing of stimulation after stroke onset and associated training should be defined.

Cardiorespiratory Responses During the 6-Minute Walk and Ramp Cycle Ergometer Tests and Their Relationship to Physical Activity in Stroke
Conclusions. Exercise intensity achieved during the 6MWT appeared sufficiently high for aerobic training, assuming CET VO2peak accurately reflects aerobic capacity. The 6MWT may be useful for prescribing aerobic exercise poststroke.

Endovascular aneurysm repair via carotid artery access: A viable alternative?
Aims: To present a systematic review of endovascular aneurysm repairs utilising the carotid artery for access Methods: Review methods were according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis(PRISMA) guidelines. Literature from five electronic databases was searched. Studied outcomes included mortality, stroke, spinal cord ischaemia(SCI), contraindications to traditional access, adjuncts for cerebral perfusion and intraoperative cerebral monitoring.

Characteristics of Exercise Training Interventions to Improve Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Stroke: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis
Conclusions. The results demonstrate that interventions with an aerobic component can improve cardiorespiratory fitness poststroke. Further investigation is required to determine effectiveness in those with greater impairment and comorbidities, optimal timing and dose of intervention, whether improvements can be maintained in the longer term, and whether improved fitness results in better function and reduced risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
