Predicting sickness impact profile at six months after stroke: further results from the European multi-center CERISE study.
Conclusions: A combination of variables was found in the prognostic models of the three dimensions of the SIP at six months after stroke. Already from the early beginning of stroke rehabilitation it seems important to focus on personal activities of daily living as well as caregivers' strain. Implications for Rehabilitation Prognostic factors predicting participation, measured by the three dimensions of the Sickness Impact Profile at six months post stroke include demographic variables, post-stroke complications, diagnostic parameters and disability measures. Significant prognostic variables for all three dimensions of the...

Prevalence and association of visual functional deficits with lesion characteristics and functional neurological deficits in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Detailed assessment of visual function in patients with stroke can help to clarify the risk of various types of visual impairment. Moreover, as visual function assessment in patients with stroke is difficult, knowledge of the correlation of visual impairments with different neurological dysfunctions observed in stroke and lesion side will help predict vision problems and inform optimal corrective measures in treating patients with stroke.

Correlates of depressive symptoms in individuals attending outpatient stroke clinics.
Conclusions High levels of depressive symptoms are common in the chronic phase post-stroke and were partially related to cognition, pain, therapy enrollment and lifestyle factors. Implications for Rehabilitation Stroke patients who report cognitive deficits, pain, tobacco use or being enrolled in therapy may experience increased depressive symptoms. A holistic perspective of disease and lifestyle factors should be considered while assessing risk of depressive symptoms in stroke patients. Patients at risk for depressive symptoms should be monitored at subsequent outpatient visits.

Establishing equivalence of a Chinese version of the stroke specific quality of life measure for stroke survivors.
DISCUSSION: The results suggest SSQOL-C is a reliable and valid tool for measuring Chinese stroke survivors' health-related quality of life. More studies are needed to confirm the 11-factor model of the scale. Implications for rehabilitation The translated Chinese version of the Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale is a reliable and valid tool for measuring Chinese stroke survivors' health-related quality of life. An 11-factor model in contrast to the 12-factor model for the original scale with six new factors emerging and five original factors retained.

Comparing the Course of Mental Health over the First Year after Stroke with Healthy Controls in Colombia, South America
Conclusions This is the first study to examine the course of mental health over the first year post-stroke in Latin America, specifically in Ibague, Colombia. Despite the improvements in anxiety and depression over the first year post-stroke, patient anxiety and depression were still worse in comparison to healthy controls. The current findings indicate a need for rehabilitation services in Colombia, especially targeting mental health issues.

The impact of stroke on female sexuality.
CONCLUSION: Stroke impacts on female sexuality through bodily alterations and their consequences and because sexuality is important to female stroke survivors, it should be addressed as part of person-centred rehabilitation. Implications for Rehabilitation Sexuality is about much more than just "having sex" and is important to female stroke survivors. Stroke impacts on female sexuality through bodily alterations and their consequences. Understanding the impact of stroke on female sexuality is a step towards more person-centred rehabilitation.

Early clinical predictors of motor function in the upper extremity one month post-stroke.
CONCLUSION: Within 3 days post-stroke, severe impairment in motor function in the upper extremity at one month can be predicted using assessment of stroke severity in combination with grip strength, finger extension or shoulder abduction. This may facilitate early planning of rehabilitation for patients with impaired upper extremity in the stroke unit.

Predictors of post-traumatic growth in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: Post-traumatic growth can develop soon after stroke. Deliberate rumination is a key factor in post-traumatic growth. Both active coping and denial coping were associated with post-traumatic growth demonstrating the psychological complexity of poststroke adjustment. Implications for rehabilitation Therapists can expect stroke survivors to show post-traumatic growth in the first months after stroke. Therapists should look to promote post-traumatic growth and positive adjustment through working with survivors to increase active coping (attempts to deal effectively with the impact of stroke) and rumination (cognit...

The efficacy of problem solving therapy to reduce post stroke emotional distress in younger (18-65) stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: The between-subject results suggest that there was no significant difference between those that received problem solving therapy and a waitlist control group between baseline and post-waitlist/post-therapy. The within-subject design suggests that problem solving therapy may be beneficial for younger stroke survivors when they are given some time to learn and implement the skills into their day to day life. However, additional research with a control group is required to investigate this further. This study provides limited evidence for the provision of support groups for younger stroke survivors post stroke, ho...

Three-dimensional assessment of the asymptomatic and post-stroke shoulder: intra-rater test-retest reliability and within-subject repeatability of the palpation and digitization approach.
CONCLUSIONS: This noninvasive, clinically feasible palpation/digitization protocol was reliable and repeatable in asymptomatic shoulders, and in a smaller sample of painful post-stroke shoulders. Implications for Rehabilitation In the clinical setting, a reliable and repeatable noninvasive method for assessment of three-dimensional (3D) clavicular/scapular/humeral joint orientation and range of motion (ROM) is currently required. The established reliability and repeatability of this proposed palpation/digitization protocol will enable comparative 3D ROM studies between asymptomatic and post-stroke shoulders, which will fur...
