Time Window for Ischemic Stroke First Mobilization Effectiveness (TIME): Protocol for an Investigator-Initiated Prospective Multicenter Randomized 3-Arm Clinical Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The TIME trial is designed to answer the question "when is the best time to start mobilization after stroke?" The effect of timing is isolated from the effect of type and dose of mobilization by otherwise applying a standard mobilization protocol across groups. The TIME trial may, therefore, contribute to increasing the knowledge base regarding the optimal time window for initiating mobilization after acute ischemic stroke.

Implicit and Explicit Motor Learning Interventions Have Similar Effects on Walking Speed in People After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Implicit motor learning was not superior to explicit motor learning to improve walking speed in people after stroke in the chronic phase of recovery. IMPACT: To our knowledge this is the first study to examine the effects of implicit compared to explicit motor learning on a functional task in people after stroke. Results indicate that physical therapists can use (tailored) implicit and explicit motor learning strategies to improve walking speed in people after stroke who are in the chronic phase of recovery.

Measurement Precision and Efficiency of Computerized Adaptive Testing for the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale in People With Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: An ABC CAT can determine accurate and precise measures of balance confidence in people with stroke with as few as 4 items. Individuals with lower balance confidence may require a greater number of items (up to 9) and attributed to the LEAPS trial excluding more functionally impaired persons. IMPACT STATEMENT: Computerized adaptive testing can drastically reduce the ABC's test administration time while maintaining accuracy and precision. This should greatly enhance clinical utility, facilitating adoption of clinical practice guidelines in stroke rehabilitation. LAY SUMMARY: If you have had a stroke, y...

Robot-assisted therapy for upper extremity motor impairment after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: RT might be superior to conventional rehabilitation in improving upper extremity motor impairment in people after stroke with notable upper extremity hemiplegia and limited potential for spontaneous recovery. PMID: 33454787 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Using 3D Motion Analysis to Optimize Treatment Planning for a Patient With Dropfoot: Case Report.
This study demonstrated the use of computerized motion analysis to assist in evidence-based clinical decision-making. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 15-year-old female who suffered from right hemiparesis after a stroke was referred for 3D computerized motion analysis to determine the effect of three devices intended to control her dropfoot and to assist in developing a treatment plan. Four conditions were tested and compared: barefoot, lateral support ankle brace, functional electrical stimulation (FES) device, and dropfoot cuff. RESULTS: Kinematics showed the right ankle had significant dropfoot during swing phase (32.7 de...

Implementation and evaluation of the Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) for people with stroke in a real world community setting: Case Report.
CONCLUSION: The GRASP program had good fidelity of the critical principles and core components and was effective in improving upper extremity function and quality of life. IMPACT: This partnership model may serve as the first step for future larger-scale implementation and could be used to move other stroke rehabilitation interventions into community settings.

Cardiovascular Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Bimanual Training in Children With Cerebral Palsy.
CONCLUSIONS: Combined cathodal tDCS to M1 and bimanual training does not influence autonomic and cardiovascular function in children with CP due to perinatal stroke. PMID: 33337767 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Readiness to Change is Related to Real-World Walking and Depressive Symptoms in Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Understanding the relationship between readiness to change, daily stepping, and depressive symptoms will help clinicians implement appropriate stage-specific intervention strategies and facilitate greater improvement in activity levels.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A333).

A 2-Year Longitudinal Study of Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Risk in Survivors of Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Duration and bouts of MVPA are associated with body mass index. Increasing MVPA and bouts of MVPA may be a valuable treatment goal to reduce cardiovascular risk in survivors of stroke. IMPACT: This 2-year study found that moderate to vigorous physical activity is associated with important cardiovascular risk factors in people who have survived stroke. Understanding these associations could be useful for developing effective treatments to prevent recurrent stroke. PMID: 33305804 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Early Rehabilitation in Acute Care Inpatient Wards May Be Crucial to Functional Recovery 3  Months After Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: ΔBI in acute care inpatient wards may be an important predictor of the BI at 3 months. Therapy density and change in PASS were significantly associated with ΔBI. IMPACT: Survivors of acute stroke who receive up to 2 rehabilitation sessions per day for 5 d/wk early in their hospitalization have better functional recovery at 3 months after stroke.

The Caregiver Experience After Stroke in a COVID-19 Environment: A Qualitative Study in Inpatient Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Caregiver attendance at therapy sessions and frequent, direct communication between staff and caregivers improved caregiver readiness for family member discharge following inpatient rehabilitation. This study shared perspectives from a distinctive time during the COVID-19 pandemic. If visitation for multiple therapy sessions is prohibited, we recommend taking alternative measures to keep the caregiver involved in the plan of care.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A326).

Interaction between locomotion and three subcategories for patients with stroke demonstrating fewer than 37 points on the total functional independence measure upon admission to the recovery ward.
Conclusion] Locomotion demonstrated an interaction with various activities for improving self-care. There were varying degrees of improvement in self-care despite a uniform improvement in the degree of locomotion. Therefore, locomotion interaction should be considered for each intervention that targets activities of daily living. PMID: 32884173 [PubMed]

The Impact of Level of PTA Involvement on Patient Outcomes Following Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Higher PTA involvement in the rehabilitation of patients following CVA did not adversely affect functional outcome, increase length of stay or reduce the likelihood of discharge to home from an inpatient rehabilitation facility. PMID: 32886786 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
