Physio-psycho-social interaction mechanism in dyadic health of young and middle-aged stroke survivors and their spousal caregivers: a longitudinal observational study protocol
Introduction In recent years, stroke has become more common among young people. Stroke not only has a profound impact on patients’ health but also incurs stress and health threats to their caregivers, especially spousal caregivers. Moreover, the health of stroke survivors and their caregivers is interdependent. To our knowledge, no study has explored dyadic health of young and middle-aged stroke survivors and their spousal caregivers from physiological, psychological and social perspectives. Therefore, this proposed study aims to explore the mechanism of how physiological, psychological and social factors affect dyad...

Supporting post-stroke access to services and resources for individuals with low income: understanding usual care practices in acute care and rehabilitation settings
CONCLUSION: To better support post-stroke access to social services and resource for low-income individuals, a multidisciplinary approach, with actions beginning earlier on and extending throughout the continuum of care, is recommended, in addition to system-level advocacy.PMID:37067052 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2199462

Is Impaired Control of Reactive Stepping Related to Falls During Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation?
Conclusions. Impaired control of balance recovery steps is related to increased fall rates during inpatient stroke rehabilitation. This study informs the specific features of stepping reactions that can be targeted with physiotherapy intervention during inpatient rehabilitation to improve dynamic stability control and potentially prevent falls.

P 102. Transcranial direct current stimulation for improving aphasia after stroke. First results of a systematic Cochrane Review
Conclusion: Our review showed that in some studies tDCS might facilitate word retrieval after stroke and hence might improve aphasia. However, it is still unclear if tDCS could improve functional communication. Thus further research seems to be needed.

Obstacle crossing following stroke improves over one month when the unaffected limb leads, but not when the affected limb leads
Highlights: Abstract: While it is well established that obstacle crossing is impaired following stroke, it is not known whether obstacle crossing improves as gait improves following stroke. The purpose of this study was to determine whether obstacle crossing changed over a one month time period in people with a recent stroke. Twenty participants receiving rehabilitation following a recent stroke were tested on two occasions one month apart. Participants received usual care rehabilitation, including physiotherapy, between the tests. The main outcome measure was obstacle crossing speed as participants stepped over a 4-cm hig...

Discourses in stroke rehabilitation as they present themselves in current physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Conclusion The neoliberal discourse supports the medical discourse with strong emphasis on evidence-based interventions. In contrast to ethical discourses, documentation of rehabilitation practice marked more attention being paid to facilitating the patient's independence than to enabling the regaining of meaningful activities and participation. Implications for Rehabilitation Individualized rehabilitation must be organized with flexibility as it is a complex process Critical reflectiveness among health professionals is needed to provide individualized rehabilitation of high quality A broader range of stake holders, includ...

Research-based evidence in stroke rehabilitation: an investigation of its implementation by physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
Conclusions Although the therapists recognize evidence-based practice as a framework for achieving quality in rehabilitation, findings suggest that they do not employ research-based evidence to the fullest extent. Implications for Rehabilitation In order to individualize the rehabilitation offered, more attention and focus on involving and giving words to patients' expectations, perceptions, experiences, and perspectives is needed. With the intention of enabling meaningful participation the health professionals need to pay more attention to the importance of environmental factors. Both guidelines and clinical practice shou...
