Motivators for physical activity in patients with minor stroke: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: This study provides valuable knowledge of what motivates and prevents patients with minor stroke or TIA to be physically active after hospital discharge, and what to consider when designing future exercise studies. Consequently, it is recommended that patients with minor stroke or TIA are offered supervised physical activity to prevent worsening of cardiovascular disease and recurrent cardiovascular event.Implications for rehabilitationParticipants were positive towards physical activity after minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).Physical activity with others was perceived as both motivating and obli...

Investigation of walking tasks experienced by community-living individuals with chronic stroke using a validated community ambulation survey
CONCLUSIONS: These findings identify the walking tasks that people with chronic stroke show less participation in community, which should be involved in routine rehabilitation schedules to restore functional walking in the community.Implications for rehabilitationCommunity ambulation survey is appropriate to identify the challenging walking tasks that people with chronic stroke show less participation in community.People with chronic stroke showed less frequent participation in walking tasks such as using stairs, using crossways, carrying objects, and walking fast and long distances, which are challenging for them.To achie...

Relationships between overall physical activity and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in developing countries: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: There is a strong relationship between overall PA and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in Benin. Step counts appear to be an indicator of PA levels in developing countries, suggesting walking as a potential exercise to improve PA levels in stroke survivors.Implications for RehabilitationStep counts could serve as an indicator of physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.Walking may be suggested as exercise to improve physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.In Africa French speaking countries, the IPAQ-AF could be used to assess physic...

Access G-AP: development of an accessible goal setting and action planning resource for stroke survivors with aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: Access G-AP was co-developed to support people with aphasia to access and engage in stroke rehabilitation goal setting. Further research is required to establish the feasibility of Access G-AP in clinical practice.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONEvidence-based accessible formatting strategies and an iterative design process can inform the design of accessible goal setting resources.Accessible goal setting materials should be relevant to stroke survivors with aphasia and responsive to their needs.Rehabilitation staff require training and support to use accessible goal setting resources (like Access G-AP) with st...

Dyadic analysis of illness perceptions among individuals with stroke and their caregivers: effects on activity engagement in community living
CONCLUSIONS: Illness perceptions and post-stroke activity engagement with gender differences should be considered at a dyadic level, as the individuals with stroke and their caregivers influence each other's beliefs.PMID:37602644 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2246378

Home-based psychoeducational and mailed information programs for stroke-caregiving dyads post-discharge: a randomized trial.
Conclusions: The home-based intervention was effective in improving self-reported health, coping skills in CG and cognitive functioning in SS. However, the finding that dyads in both groups demonstrated decreased depression and stress suggests that providing repeated doses of relevant, personalized information by mail may result in positive changes. Implications for Rehabilitation A stroke affects both the stroke survivor and the spousal caregiver, so nurses and therapists should use multicomponent strategies to provide education, support, counseling and linkages to community resources to ease the transition from hospital ...

Enhanced clarity and holism: the outcome of implementing the ICF with an acute stroke multidisciplinary team in England.
Conclusions: The ICF enhanced clarity of communication and team roles within the acute stroke multidisciplinary team as well as with other clinicians, patients and their relatives. In addition, the ICF challenged stroke clinicians to think holistically, thereby appropriately extending their domain of concern beyond their traditional remit. Implications for Rehabilitation The ICF is a globally accepted framework to describe functioning and is in use in a variety of clinical settings. Yet, the outcomes of using it in clinical practice have yet to be fully explored. This study found that the ICF enhanced clarity of communicat...

The experience of couples when one partner has a stroke at a young age: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Conclusions: Stroke at a young age can significantly disrupt couples' life biographies. The findings highlight the need for both partners to adapt to their reciprocal relationship role changes and the importance of addressing the couple as a focus for intervention. Implications for Rehabilitation Stroke at a young age is an abrupt event that impacts upon both partners in a relationship. The findings add insight to some of the issues faced by young stroke survivors and their partners, which can now be considered in tailoring treatment to this specific cohort within the context of services predominated by older adults. The f...

Understanding significant others' experience of aphasia and rehabilitation following stroke.
Conclusions: With a greater sensitivity to significant others who focus on the stroke survivor and disregard their own needs, rehabilitation professionals and especially speech-language therapists, can assist families in reestablishing communication and satisfying relationships which are affected because of aphasia. Implications for Rehabilitation This qualitative study shows that significant others of aphasic stroke survivors experience rehabilitation as services focused on the person who had the stroke. Significant others' satisfaction with rehabilitation is not related to the fulfillment of their personal (e.g. resuming...
