Knowledge Translation in Right Brain Rehabilitation: A Feasibility Study of Prism Treatment After Acute Stroke (P6.210)
Conclusions:Fewer patients had spatial neglect than expected, but we demonstrated feasible knowledge translation for spatial neglect care in an underserved setting. An active-learning approach may be key to clinician engagement. Future research in stroke centers will help clarify the impact of neglect assessment and treatment on quality outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Barrett has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Foundation as an employee.

Safety and efficacy of co-careldopa as an add-on therapy to occupational and physical therapy in patients after stroke (DARS): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Publication date: June 2019Source: The Lancet Neurology, Volume 18, Issue 6Author(s): Gary A Ford, Bipin B Bhakta, Alastair Cozens, Suzanne Hartley, Ivana Holloway, David Meads, John Pearn, Sharon Ruddock, Catherine M Sackley, Eirini-Christina Saloniki, Gillian Santorelli, Marion F Walker, Amanda J FarrinSummaryBackgroundDopamine is a key modulator of striatal function and learning and might improve motor recovery after stroke. Previous small trials of dopamine agonists after stroke provide equivocal evidence of effectiveness on improving motor recovery. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of co-careldopa plus routi...

Motor imagery: a systematic review of its effectiveness in the rehabilitation of the upper limb following a stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Motor imagery, combined with conventional therapy (physiotherapy or occupational therapy), seems to have positive effects on the motor rehabilitation of the upper limb following a stroke. Further research is needed to improve the heterogeneity of the interventions and to evaluate their effectiveness in the long term. PMID: 29480509 [PubMed - in process]
