Visual perceptual deficit screening in stroke survivors: evaluation of current practice in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland
CONCLUSIONS: Visual perceptual deficits are screened post-stroke at a similar rate to sensory vision or visual neglect. Underdiagnosis of visual perceptual deficits may stem from both reliance on subjective and non-standardised screening approaches, and conflicting definitions of visual perception held among clinicians. We recommend increased training provision and use of brief performance-based screening tools.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONLack of agreement among clinicians on what constitutes as visual perceptual or sensory vision deficits may prove problematic, as precise and exact language is often required for clinic...

Patients' and therapists' experience and perception of exoskeleton-based physiotherapy during subacute stroke rehabilitation: a qualitative analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with stroke were even more optimistic than therapists toward the experience and benefits of exoskeleton-based gait training during subacute stroke rehabilitation. Future clinical practice should consider the balance between actual and perceived benefits, as well as the potential barriers to integrating an exoskeleton into stroke rehabilitation.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPowered robotic exoskeletons can be used to provide higher duration and more repetitious walking practice for non-ambulatory patients with stroke.Patients with stroke view exoskeleton-based physiotherapy highly favorably, attributi...

Accelerometer assessed upper limb activity in people with stroke: a validation study considering ambulatory and non-ambulatory activities
CONCLUSION: The VMR could be used as a sensitive objective marker to measure upper limb function post-stroke during ambulatory and non-ambulatory daily activities.Implications for rehabilitationAccelerometer-based assessment of upper limb function is a sensitive measure of upper limb function post stroke during different activity domains.Accelerometers-based assessment of arm function can detect differences in arm function outside the clinical setting (daily living) over a prolonged period that are not always identified by clinical assessment or perceived ability.PMID:34904504 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.2012838

Subjective and objective assessments are associated for physical function but not cognitive function in community-dwelling stroke survivors
CONCLUSIONS: The lack of association between objective and subjective cognitive functioning challenges the conventional assumption that perceived functioning reflects actual performance. We recommend using both objective and subjective measures to accurately identify cognitive and physical impairment following stroke.Implications for RehabilitationSubjective cognitive functioning is not associated with objective cognitive functioning, suggesting that solely relying on stroke patients' reports is inadequate and may inaccurately estimate patients' actual deficits.Both objective and subjective measures should be used to accur...

Factors associated with mental health service access among Australian community-dwelling survivors of stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Many stroke survivors have untreated depression/anxiety. Primary care practitioners should be supported in undertaking effective detection and management. Older and newly diagnosed individuals should be educated about depression/anxiety and available supports.Implications for rehabilitationPrimary care providers play a pivotal role in the pathway to mental health care, and therefore should always screen for depression/anxiety and provide comprehensive assessment and referral to specialist services where necessary.Targeted psychoeducation should be provided to survivors of stroke who are older and newly diagnos...

Psychosocial interventions for building resilience of informal carers of people living with stroke: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Interventions comprising of information provision, problem-solving skills and psychoeducation appear to be beneficial to improve resilience of carers. However, because of the heterogeneity of the interventions and outcome measures reported across the twelve studies no particular intervention could be definitively supported.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Systematic review registration: CRD 42020172824 https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42020172824 IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONProviding care for stroke survivors is particularly demanding due to the lack of preparation for managing the un...

Adaptation to poststroke fatigue in stroke survivors and their care partners: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors had many types of challenges and strategies for fatigue adaptation. Survivors received family, employer, and colleague support but how care partners help survivors develop new skills is unknown. Stroke survivors expressed that healthcare professionals need to teach survivors and care partners basic knowledge of fatigue that meet their personal needs and provide adaptive interventions for survivors. Implications for rehabilitationThe challenges of poststroke fatigue are multifaceted because fatigue influences stroke survivors' physical, cognitive, mental, and social aspects of recovery.Stroke s...

Exploring the usability and feasibility of a mobile music listening application for people living in the community with post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSION: The music listening application is a feasible and usable option for listening to music in people with chronic post-stroke aphasia. This study provides a foundation for the rigorous examination of the usability of music listening technology for people with post-stroke aphasia and the potential investigation of use in acute care facilities and other clinical populations.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMusic listening has potential therapeutic benefits for people with post-stroke aphasia.Applications for music listening require customisation to enable people with post-stroke aphasia opportunity to listen to their p...
