Effects of functional electrical stimulation-cycling on shoulder pain and subluxation in patients with acute–subacute stroke: a pilot study
Functional electrical stimulation (FES)-cycling is a technique used to provide voluntary muscle contraction during a functional task. The aims were primarily to determine the effects of FES-cycling on shoulder pain and subluxation, and secondarily to evaluate the improvement of upper extremity motor function in patients with acute–subacute stroke patient. In this prospective trial, 21 patients with acute–subacute stroke, randomly assigned into the FES-cycling group or the standard rehabilitation program (control group). Analyses of shoulder subluxation were carried out by radiography. The numeric rating scale was used ...

Depression one year after hemorrhagic stroke is associated with late worsening of  outcomes.
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to investigate depression one year after ICH. Post-ICH depression was common and associated with late worsening of disability unrelated to initial hemorrhage severity. Further research is needed to understand whether depression is caused by worsened disability, or whether the converse is true. PMID: 28505996 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty in Patients With Amputation or Paralysis of the Contralateral Upper Extremity (One-Arm Patients)
Conclusions RSA seems to be a safe, effective, and successful surgical procedure for patients with a nonfunctional contralateral upper extremity. Studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up will hopefully validate the present findings. Level of Evidence IV (case series).
