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.

Profile of upper limb recovery and development of secondary impairments in patients after stroke with a disabled upper limb: An observational study.
CONCLUSION: Most patients with a disabled upper limb after stroke have little recovery of activity in the first 12 weeks. Shoulder pain on movement at 2 weeks should be flagged as a predictor of future pain. PMID: 29889584 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Gait Training after Stroke on a Self-Paced Treadmill with and without Virtual Environment Scenarios: A Proof-of-Principle Study.
Conclusions: Despite the limited potential for functional recovery from chronic stroke, an individual can achieve improvements in mobility and self-efficacy after participating in VR-coupled treadmill training, compared with treadmill training with the same intensity and surface perturbations but without VR immersion. A larger scale, randomized controlled trial is warranted to determine the efficacy of VR-coupled treadmill training for mobility intervention post-stroke. PMID: 30275647 [PubMed]

Building a Bridge to the Community - An Integrated Knowledge Translation Approach to Improving Participation in Community-Based Exercise for People after Stroke.
Conclusion: Data from this study support the necessity for the community sector to offer a continuing service in partnership with the health system and people with chronic health needs. It indicates the potential of clinicians to partner with people with chronic health conditions and empower them to improve participation in relevant health behaviors, like community-based exercise.

Goal-oriented instructions increase the intensity of practice in stroke rehabilitation compared with non-specific instructions: a within-participant, repeated measures experimental study
ConclusionGoal-oriented instructions can result in significant increases in the rate of repetitions of exercise in stroke rehabilitation. The use of goal-oriented instructions is a simple, no-cost strategy that can be used to increase the intensity of practice in stroke rehabilitation.Trial registrationACTRN12619000146190.

Depth Sensor-Based Assessment of Reachable Work Space for Visualizing and Quantifying Paretic Upper Extremity Motor Function in People with Stroke.
Conclusions. The RWS assessment showed sufficient validity, reliability, and responsiveness in people with hemiparetic stroke. A depth sensor-based RWS evaluation is useful for visualizing and quantifying paretic UE motor function in the clinical setting. PMID: 32048724 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Enriched, Task-Specific Therapy in the Chronic Phase After Stroke: An Exploratory Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Enriched, task-specific therapy may provide durable benefits across a wide spectrum of motor deficits and impairments after stroke. Although the results must be interpreted cautiously, the findings have implications for enriching strategies in stroke rehabilitation.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A304).

Video-guided exercise after stroke: a feasibility randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: A trial of video-guided exercise is feasible, although an optimal main trial would require some relatively minor changes to design, outcome measures, eligibility, and the intervention. PMID: 32684076 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Standing Balance Strategies and Dual-Task Interference Are Differentially Modulated Across Various Sensory Contexts and Cognitive Tests in Individuals With Chronic Stroke
Conclusions: Standing balance enhancement (higher equilibrium score/better balance) depends on the neuropsychological process targeted and the sensory input available post-stroke. Cognitive dual-task interference emerged for the verbal fluency test during the most attention demanding sensory condition. Cognitive tests that enhance standing balance should be considered in assessments and interventions to evaluate and improve dual-tasking post-stroke.

Relationships Between Stepping-Reaction Movement Patterns and Clinical Measures of Balance, Motor Impairment, and Step Characteristics After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Movement patterns of stepping reactions poststroke were influenced by the initiating leg. After stroke, specific movement patterns showed associations with clinical measures depending on the initiating leg, suggesting that these movement patterns are important to retraining of stepping reactions. Specifically, use of flexion patterning and assessment of between-leg pattern differentiation may be important aspects to consider during retraining of stepping reactions poststroke. IMPACT: Evidence-based interventions targeting balance reactions are still in their infancy. This investigation of stepping reactio...

A Clinical Practice Guideline for the Use of Ankle-Foot Orthoses and Functional Electrical Stimulation Post-Stroke
DISCUSSION: One-hundred twenty-two meta-analyses, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and cohort studies were included. Strong evidence exists that AFO and FES can each increase gait speed, mobility, and dynamic balance. Moderate evidence exists that AFO and FES increase quality of life, walking endurance, and muscle activation, and weak evidence exists for improving gait kinematics. AFO or FES should not be used to decrease plantarflexor spasticity. Studies that directly compare AFO and FES do not indicate overall superiority of one over the other. But evidence suggests that AFO may lead to more compensatory...
