A Single Trial of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Improves Spasticity and Balance in Patients with Chronic Stroke.
This study shows that TENS provides an immediately effective means of reducing spasticity and of improving balance in chronic stroke patients. The present data may be useful to establish the standard parameters for TENS application in the clinical setting of stroke.

Acupuncture in Subacute Stroke: No Benefits Detected.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with subacute stroke, the addition of body and scalp acupuncture to a regimen of conventional physical therapy does not result in further improvement in either motor function or activities of daily living beyond the effect of conventional physical therapy alone.

Six‐month prospective study of fall risk factors identification in patients post‐stroke
ConclusionsFear of falling was the best indicator of falling. Receiving physical therapy after a stroke seems to highly contribute to improved functional independence of activities in daily living, and increased self‐confidence and cognitive function. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2013; ●●: ●●–●●.

Efficacy of coupling repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and physical therapy to reduce upper limb spasticity in stroke patients: a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: rTMS associated with PT can be beneficial in reducing post-stroke spasticity. However, more studies are needed to clarify the clinical changes underlying the reduction of spasticity induced by non-invasive brain stimulations.

Aftereffects of 2 Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Techniques on Corticospinal Excitability in Persons With Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study.
CONCLUSION:: Both 5-Hz rTMS and anodal tDCS induced effects on corticospinal excitability in persons with chronic stroke lasting at least 1 hour after stimulation. In the absence of concurrent motor practice, neither form of stimulation applied in a single session was associated the changes in motor performance. These approaches to increased cortical excitability may be of value as adjuncts to training.Video Abstract Available: See Video (Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A83) for more insights from the authors.

Combined Clinical and Home Rehabilitation: A Case Report of an Integrated Knowledge-to-Action Study in a Dutch Rehabilitation Stroke Unit.
DISCUSSION: Improving local settings with available evidence is not a straightforward application process but rather a matter of searching, logical reasoning, and creatively working with heterogeneous knowledge sources in partnership with different stakeholders. Multiple organizational levels need to be addressed rather than focusing on therapists as sole site of change.

Use of Accelerometers to Examine Sedentary Time on an Acute Stroke Unit
Conclusions: Patients with acute stroke were sedentary most of their hospital stay. To minimize the potential negative effects of inactivity, our data suggest that there should be greater emphasis on increasing physical activity during the hospital stay.

Effectiveness of Adaptive Physical Activity combined with Therapeutic Patient Education in stroke survivors at 12 months: a non-randomized parallel group study.
CONCLUSION: APA-TPE is an effective intervention to maintain and improve activities of daily living, reduce falls and recourse to rehabilitation treatments at 12 months.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Structured physical activity programs that can be performed also at home, when combined with therapeutic education focused on benefits of physical activity, will encourage stroke survivors to continue exercising. Therefore, it fulfills an essential requirement to the maintenance of lasting health benefits and the prevention of physical and psychological deterioration.
