Participation in leisure activities after stroke: A survey of community-residing stroke survivors in Nigeria.
CONCLUSIONS: Leisure participation was high in a general sense but marginal in recreational and productive/creative activities. The observed socio-demographic and clinical associations with post-stroke leisure participation may assist in providing effective leisure rehabilitation strategies.

Self-rated health and return to work after first-time stroke.
CONCLUSION: Self-rated health 3 months after stroke was strongly associated with return to work and work-stability after stroke. PMID: 26936419 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Auditory rehabilitation after stroke: treatment of auditory processing disorders in stroke patients with personal frequency-modulated (FM) systems.
CONCLUSIONS: Personal FM systems may substantially improve speech-in-noise deficits in stroke patients who are not eligible for conventional hearing aids. FMs are feasible in stroke patients and show promise to address impaired AP after stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation This is the first study to investigate the benefits of personal frequency-modulated (FM) systems in stroke patients with disordered AP. All cases significantly improved speech perception in noise with the FM systems, when noise was spatially separated from the speech signal by 90° compared with unaided listening. Personal FM systems are feasible in s...

Barriers and facilitators associated with return to work after stroke: a qualitative meta-synthesis.
CONCLUSION: Return to work after stroke is a complex process which can be facilitated or impeded by organizational, social or personal factors, as well as accessibility to appropriate services. Implications for Rehabilitation Following a period of dedicated inpatient rehabilitation, there is a need to integrate community-support services to optimize return to work among stroke survivors. A dedicated community stroke support liaison officer may help to facilitate the transition between the hospital and the community and workplace environment. Education provided by healthcare professionals is necessary in the community and t...

Risk of falling in a stroke unit after acute stroke: The Fall Study of Gothenburg (FallsGOT).
CONCLUSION: Postural control, male sex and use of a walking aid are associated with falling during hospitalization after acute stroke. PMID: 28891685 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Postural and gait disorders in subacute stroke patients: Lateropulsion is the key
Discussion – conclusion Lateropulsion, which is a sign of biased representation of the vertical, is a primary cause of postural and gait disorders at the subacute phase after right hemisphere stroke, explaining almost 80% of balance and gait disabilities. A greater attention should be focused on the assessment and the rehabilitation of the post-stroke lateropulsion.

Social participation following a stroke: an assessment in accordance with the international classification of functioning, disability and health.
CONCLUSIONS: Twenty-four ICF categories were coded and qualified with the use of the SS-QOL, enabling the participation component of the ICF biopsychosocial model to be easily evaluated in clinical practice. Overall, the sample in the present study demonstrated a moderate decline in participation following a stroke and only the "social roles" domain was severely affected. The FIM was the main predictor of participation and the depression was a moderate predictor. Therefore, health professionals involved in the rehabilitation of these patients should focus on the promotion of functional independence and improvements in emot...

Racial and ethnic disparities in stroke outcomes: a scoping review of post-stroke disability assessment tools.
CONCLUSIONS: A wide variety of assessments are used to examine disparities in post-stroke disability across the time course of stroke recovery. Several studies have identified disparities through a variety of assessments; however, substantial problems abound from the assessments used including inconsistent use of assessments, lacking evidence on the validity of assessments among racial/ethnic groups, and inadequate representation among all racial/ethnic populations comprising the US. Implications for Rehabilitation An enhanced understanding of racial/ethnic disparities in post-stroke disability outcomes is inherently impor...

Post-stroke spasticity and shoulder pain prevalence decrease over the last 15 years
Conclusions Disabling spasticity and shoulder pain frequency in recent post-stroke patients decreased over the last 15 years, and functional abilities both at admission and discharge improved. Confirmation of these results in a multicentric study may be important evidence of an improvement in stroke healthcare both in stroke and physical and rehabilitation medicine units in the last 10 years in France and could affect future estimations of the need for rehabilitation care after stroke.

Opportunities and challenges in secondary stroke prevention: a mixed methods study.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the ongoing challenges with achieving risk factor control after stroke and the potential to utilise health information technology to engage stroke survivors in self-management of their risk factors. Implications for rehabilitation Clinicians should be knowledgeable of the challenges that stroke survivors face in managing their risk factors after stroke and the role that they can play in providing tailored education. BP continues to be poorly controlled after stroke and there is opportunity for improvement. Stroke survivors and their families are receptive to using health information te...

What are the perceptions and experiences of falls amongst people with stroke who live in the community?
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the perceived negative consequences of falls amongst people with stroke, and the potential contribution of falls to the reduced levels of physical activity often seen following a stroke. Our findings emphasise the need to address falls and balance related self-efficacy alongside strategies to promote safe mobility. A paradigm shift may be needed to highlight potentially modifiable intrinsic risk factors and emphasise the relevance and value of proactive fall prevention to people with stroke. Implications for rehabilitation People with stroke may not report falls or may minimise their sign...

The trouble with footwear following stroke: a qualitative study of the views and experience of people with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Foot problems, as well as gait and balance impairment, have implications for footwear priorities following stroke, but people felt unsupported in making healthy footwear choices. Health care professionals could be trained to routinely deliver footwear assessment and advice and facilitate referrals to podiatrist, when appropriate. Implications for rehabilitation Foot problems, as well as gait and balance impairment, have implications for footwear priorities following stroke. People with stroke perceive a lack of professional advice about footwear and feel unsupported making healthy footwear choices. Health care...
