A longitudinal examination of the frequency and correlates of self-reported neurobehavioural disability following stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: In survivors of stroke, self-report of NBD is associated with poor outcomes in function, anxiety, and depression. These findings highlight the importance of routine and comprehensive assessment and intervention to manage NBD following stroke. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Despite relatively infrequent self-reporting, presence of NBD remained stable across a six month follow-up period following rehabilitation which highlights the potential persistent nature of these difficulties. Even mild levels of self-reported NBD were associated with emotional distress in both stroke survivors and their significant others...

A Chinese version of the Measure of Stroke Environment (MOSE): psychometric evaluation in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: This study provides psychometric evidence supporting the use of the Chinese version of the MOSE among stroke survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION The Measure of Stroke Environment was translated into Chinese through a rigorous cultural adaptation process. MOSE-C is now a reliable and valid tool for Chinese-speaking survivors who have suffered from a stroke. It is necessary to assess the perceived environmental barriers of stroke survivors and develop targeted intervention programs in China. PMID: 33202159 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

CONCLUSIONS: Half of the Comprehensive Core Set categories for stroke were relevant, but to adequately capture experience an additional eight were needed. The ICF category profile may be unique to our participants or may suggest further research is needed to determine if additions to core set categories are required.Implications for rehabilitationOur ICF mapping demonstrated that the Brief Core Set for stroke was not sufficient to capture the range of experience for stroke survivors with upper limb spasticity, instead the Comprehensive Core Set for stroke supplemented with eight clinical-cohort specific second-level-catego...
