Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviors in Community-Dwelling Stroke Survivors: A Systematic Review.
CONCLUSIONS: Little is known about the time stroke survivors spend sedentary each day, or the pattern in which sedentary time is accumulated. Studies using objective, reliable and valid measures of sedentary time are needed to further investigate the impacts of sedentary time on the health of stroke survivors.

Postural Alignment Is Altered in People With Chronic Stroke and Related to Motor and Functional Performance.
CONCLUSIONS:: People with chronic stroke have altered postural alignment in standing compared with subjects without neurological deficits. Investigating interventions focusing on increasing anterior and posterior pelvic tilt seem warranted.

Quality of life and burden of informal caregivers of stroke survivors
This study was aimed at determining the level of strain experienced by the caregivers of stroke survivors and the quality of life (QoL) of these caregivers. The QoL and caregiving burden among informal caregivers of stroke survivors seen at the physiotherapy outpatient clinic of two hospitals in south-western Nigeria were documented. Participants completed the Personal Wellbeing index for QoL measurement and Modified Caregivers Strain Index for measurement of Caregivers Burden Score. A total of 130 informal caregivers of stroke survivors participated in this study. The mean age of caregivers was 41.1 ± 14.0 years, while...

Transitions in the Embodied Experience After Stroke: A Grounded Theory Study.
CONCLUSION: The bodily experience of stroke is intimately connected with a person's sense of self. A person's social and physical environment, as well as their personal attributes can serve to 'anchor' them more comfortably within their embodied experience of stroke. Theory that acknowledges the integral connection between body and self could enhance physiotherapy practice. This study supports the need for physiotherapists to be adequately informed to integrate the embodied experience in their practice when working with people after stroke.

Executive Function Is Associated With Off-Line Motor Learning in People With Chronic Stroke
Conclusions: This is the first study to demonstrate that better performance on an executive function test of attention and set-shifting predicts a higher magnitude of off-line motor learning in individuals with chronic stroke. This emphasizes the need to consider attention and set-shifting abilities of individuals following stroke as these abilities are associated with motor learning. This in turn could affect learning of activities of daily living and impact functional recovery following stroke.

Social Participation Determines Quality of Life Among Urban-Dwelling Older Adults With Stroke in a Developing Country
Conclusion: Social participation and cognition were strong determinants of QoL among urban-dwelling older adults with stroke. Social and recreational activities and cognitive rehabilitation should therefore be evaluated as potential strategies to improve the well-being of older adults affected by stroke.

Early Rehabilitation in Acute Care Inpatient Wards May Be Crucial to Functional Recovery 3  Months After Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: ΔBI in acute care inpatient wards may be an important predictor of the BI at 3 months. Therapy density and change in PASS were significantly associated with ΔBI. IMPACT: Survivors of acute stroke who receive up to 2 rehabilitation sessions per day for 5 d/wk early in their hospitalization have better functional recovery at 3 months after stroke.

Measurement Precision and Efficiency of Computerized Adaptive Testing for the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale in People With Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: An ABC CAT can determine accurate and precise measures of balance confidence in people with stroke with as few as 4 items. Individuals with lower balance confidence may require a greater number of items (up to 9) and attributed to the LEAPS trial excluding more functionally impaired persons. IMPACT STATEMENT: Computerized adaptive testing can drastically reduce the ABC's test administration time while maintaining accuracy and precision. This should greatly enhance clinical utility, facilitating adoption of clinical practice guidelines in stroke rehabilitation. LAY SUMMARY: If you have had a stroke, y...

Time Window for Ischemic Stroke First Mobilization Effectiveness (TIME): Protocol for an Investigator-Initiated Prospective Multicenter Randomized 3-Arm Clinical Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The TIME trial is designed to answer the question "when is the best time to start mobilization after stroke?" The effect of timing is isolated from the effect of type and dose of mobilization by otherwise applying a standard mobilization protocol across groups. The TIME trial may, therefore, contribute to increasing the knowledge base regarding the optimal time window for initiating mobilization after acute ischemic stroke.

Responsiveness and Predictive Validity of the Hierarchical Balance Short Forms in Patients With Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The HBSF has sufficient responsiveness and predictive validity in inpatients with stroke receiving rehabilitation and is thus recommended for both clinicians and researchers. PMID: 23392186 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Motor Skill Learning Is Associated With Diffusion Characteristics of White Matter in Individuals With Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS:: Diffusion characteristics of posttraining ipsilesional PLIC were linked to the magnitude of change in skilled motor behavior. These results imply that the microstructural properties of regional white matter indexed by diffusion behavior may be an important factor to consider when determining potential response to rehabilitation in persons with stroke.

Comparison of Energy Expenditure Between Aquatic and Overground Treadmill Walking in People Post‐Stroke
ConclusionThis study demonstrated a decreased metabolic cost when ATW at matched speeds to that of OTW. Reduced metabolic cost during ATW may allow for longer durations of treadmill‐induced gait training compared with OTW for improved outcomes. This knowledge may aid clinicians when prescribing aquatic treadmill exercise for people post‐stroke with goals of improving gait and functional mobility. However, decreased metabolic cost during ATW suggests that to improve cardiovascular fitness, ATW may not be a time‐efficient method of cardiovascular exercise for healthy adults and people post‐stroke.

Postural Alignment Is Altered in People With Chronic Stroke and Related to Motor and Functional Performance
We examined spinal postural alignment in people with chronic stroke and explored the relationship between postural alignment and clinical measures. Methods:Twenty-one subjects with stroke and 22 age-matched healthy comparison subjects participated in this observational, cross-sectional study. Data collection included measurements of thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and overall postural alignment in the sagittal plane in both sitting and standing. Measurements were made in different postures, including: upright, flexed forward, and extended backward. Clinical outcome measures included the Trunk Impairment Scale and its subscales, ...
