Does kinematics add meaningful information to clinical assessment in upper limb rehabilitation after stroke?
Research question: The aims of this study were: (a) quantify the upper limb impairments in post-stroke patients; (b) quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of an upper limb rehabilitation program; (c) gain more clinically meaningful information using kinematic analysis in addition to clinical assessment.

Posturography using the Wii Balance Board™. A feasibility study with healthy adults and adults post-stroke
The high incidence and prevalence of balance disorders after stroke and their implications for most daily activities make assessment and rehabilitation of balance a priority [1]. Severity of balance deficits have been traditionally assessed using clinical scales [2], which are usually easy to administer in the clinic and not time-consuming. However, balance scales and tests can be influenced by subjective bias and they provide limited sensitivity to, and information about, sensory integration [3].

Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy Based on Stroke Volume Variation in Patients Undergoing Major Spine Surgery in the Prone Position: A Cohort Study
Conclusion. Our study shows that application of a GDFT based on SVV in major spine surgery is feasible and can lead to reduced blood losses and transfusions, better postoperative respiratory performance, shorter ICU stay, and faster return of bowel function.

The instrumented Fukuda Stepping Test: Quantifying balance impairment in patients with sub-acute stroke
Introduction: Balance impairment is one of the most common consequences after a stroke event [1]. To assess the effects of this deficit, the Fukuda Stepping Test (FST), in which the subject has to step on the spot blindfolded, can be used. However, the relevant parameters traditionally considered in the clinical environment, i.e. body rotation and displacement measured from final foot position, are not fully representative of the patient's motor ability [2]. The purpose of this study is to devise an instrumented version of the FST (iFST) that embodies inertial measurement units (IMUs).

Assessing muscle compliance in stroke with the Myotonometer
Alterations of muscle compliance in the spastic side reflect changes in the contractile or intrinsic mechanical properties of the muscle after a stroke. Findings of the study have demonstrated high sensitivity and effectiveness of the Myotonometer in assessing muscle compliance changes.

The effects of an articulated ankle-foot orthosis with resistance-adjustable joints on lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics during gait in individuals post-stroke
This study demonstrated that the adjustments of resistance in the ankle-foot orthosis with the Triple Action joints influenced ankle and knee kinematics in individuals post-stroke. Further work is necessary to investigate the long-term effects of the articulated ankle-foot orthoses on their gait.

Impact of gait analysis (GA) on treatment appropriateness in stroke patients with stiff knee gait
Introduction: Stiff Knee Gait (SKG) is the second most frequent lower limb deformity in stroke survivors. It is typically treated by means of inhibition of quadriceps femoris (QF) muscles by botulinum toxin, because of the presence of QF spasticity at the clinical evaluation [1]. Gait analysis (GA)-based studies showed that the inadequate ankle push-off (APO) can result in SKG, too [2]. We recently presented an algorithm, based on GA data, that differentiates the individual's main cause of SKG between SKG consequent to QF spasticity (SKGQF) and SKG consequent to the lack of APO (SKGAPO) [3].

Transitions sit to stand and stand to sit in persons post-stroke: Path of centre of mass, pelvic and limb loading – A pilot study
In contrast to assumptions often made with respect to limb loading, we found large variability in movement patterns utilized by person's with a hemiparetic presentation during sit to stand and stand to sit. The findings suggest that movement problems encountered by persons post-stroke are complex and identifies limitations with respect to current measurement techniques.

Shear wave elastography potential to characterize spastic muscles in stroke survivors: Literature review
Shear wave ultrasound elastography can provide useful quantitative information on the mechanical properties of the spastic muscles in post-stroke patients. Nevertheless, new studies using common terminology and parameters are needed to develop reliable methods that could help in assessing treatment efficiency.
