Secondary Analysis of Walking Activities during the Acute Stroke Hospital Stay and Cerebrovascular Health
CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity during the hospital stay post-stroke may support cerebrovascular health after discharge. Prospective studies are needed to support this finding.PMID:35910593 | PMC:PMC9327803 | DOI:10.1097/CPT.0000000000000196

Impaired Reactive Stepping Among Patients Ready for Discharge From Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired reactive stepping is a prevalent problem for ambulatory patients with stroke preparing for discharge which could possibly increase their risk of falling when faced with the challenges of community ambulation. Specific tests that target the capacity to perform perturbation-evoked stepping reactions may be important to identify those at risk for falls & to direct appropriate intervention strategies.

Psychometrics of the Wrist Stability and Hand Mobility Subscales of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment in Moderately Impaired Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: It appears that the w/h UE FM is a promising tool to measure distal UE movement in patients with little active paretic wrist and finger movement. This finding widens the segment of patients on whom the w/h UE FM can be effectively used, and addresses a gap, since commonly used measures necessitate active distal UE movement.

A Cognitive-Balance Control Training Paradigm Using Wii Fit to Reduce Fall Risk in Chronic Stroke Survivors.
CONCLUSIONS:: The results demonstrate good adherence and evidence of clinical value of this high-intensity, short-duration protocol for reducing cognitive-motor interference and improving balance control in stroke survivors. Future studies should examine the dose-response effects and long-term changes of such DT training paradigm applied to improve fall efficacy.

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.

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy After Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A for a Patient With Chronic Stroke: One-Year Follow-up Case Report.
DISCUSSION: The improved arm function could reflect improvements in volitional movements and coordination or speed of movements in the paretic arm that resulted from a reduction in spasticity, a reduction of learned nonuse behaviors, or use-dependent plasticity after the combination of BTX type A and constraint-induced movement therapy. If this approach proves useful in future controlled studies, this may halt the rising medical costs of the treatment of stroke. PMID: 25592185 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Brief Kinesthesia test is feasible and sensitive: a study in stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The BKT was feasible to administer and sensitive to differences in reaching accuracy between persons with stroke and a comparison group. With further refinement, The BKT may become a valuable clinical measure of post-stroke kinesthetic impairment.

Associations Between Sensorimotor Impairments in the Upper Limb at 1 Week and 6 Months After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that somatosensory impairments are common and suggests that the association with upper limb motor and functional performance increases with time after stroke.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A138).

Using the TIDieR Checklist to Standardize the Description of a Functional Strength Training Intervention for the Upper Limb After Stroke
Conclusions: TIDieR is a systematic way of reporting the intervention delivered in a clinical trial of a complex intervention such as stroke rehabilitation. This approach may also have value for standardizing intervention in clinical practice.

Counteracting learned non-use in chronic stroke patients with reinforcement-induced movement therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Implicitly reinforcing arm-use by augmenting visuomotor feedback as proposed by RIMT seems beneficial for inducing significant improvement in chronic stroke patients. By challenging the patients' self-limiting believe system and perceived low self-efficacy this approach might counteract learned non-use. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical Trials NCT02657070 .

Relationship between dynamic balance and spatiotemporal gait symmetry in hemiplegic patients with chronic stroke
Conclusion Thus, control of dynamic balance abilities is related to the magnitude of temporal gait symmetry. This observation suggests that rehabilitation strategies that improve dynamic balance may enhance temporal gait symmetry in post-stroke patients.

Genetic Variation and Neuroplasticity: Role in Rehabilitation After Stroke.
Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In many neurologic diagnoses, significant interindividual variability exists in the outcomes of rehabilitation. One factor that may impact response to rehabilitation interventions is genetic variation. Genetic variation refers to the presence of differences in the DNA sequence among individuals in a population. Genetic polymorphisms are variations that occur relatively commonly and, while not disease-causing, can impact the function of biological systems. The purpose of this article is to describe genetic polymorphisms that may impact neuroplasticity, motor learning, and recovery a...

Relationship between oxygen cost of walking and level of walking disability after stroke: An experimental study
This study investigated the nature of the relationship between level of disability and oxygen cost in people with chronic stroke. MethodsLevel of walking disability was measured as comfortable walking speed using the 10‐m Walk Test reported in m/s with 55 ambulatory people 2 years after stroke. Oxygen cost was measured during 3 walking tasks: overground walking at comfortable speed, overground walking at fast speed, and stair walking at comfortable speed. Oxygen cost was calculated from oxygen uptake divided by distance covered during walking and reported in ml∙kg−1∙m−1. ResultsThe relationship between level of ...

Outcome Measure Scores Predict Discharge Destination in Patients With Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review and Series of Meta-analyses
Conclusion: Outcome measure scores are strong predictors of discharge destination among patients with stroke and provide an objective means of early discharge planning. Discharge decisions should be made with consideration for patient-specific biopsychosocial factors that may supersede isolated results of the outcome measures, and further research needs to assess the success of the location that a patient is referred at discharge.
