A longitudinal study investigating how stroke severity, disability, and physical function the first week post-stroke are associated with walking speed six months post-stroke.
CONCLUSION: PASS, PWS, and age the first week predicted PWS at 6 months post-stroke for participants with the best walking ability, and PASS alone predicted PWS at 6 months post-stroke for participants with the poorest walking ability.

Life satisfaction and self-efficacy in patients affected by a first stroke living in Kuwait: A two-phase study.
In conclusion, psychosocial self-efficacy was identified as having a stronger relationship to life satisfaction compared with general self-efficacy within this sample of Kuwaiti female patients. Health professionals suggested various strategies for enhancing self-efficacy and thereby life satisfaction post-stroke during the rehabilitation process in Kuwait. Despite the collectivist culture of Kuwait, the findings indicate that the patient's own confidence and sense of responsibility for progress may be relevant to rehabilitation.

Kinematic upper extremity performance in people with near or fully recovered sensorimotor function after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants with near or fully recovered sensorimotor function after stroke still show deficits in movement kinematics; however, the FMA-UE may not be able to detect these impairments.

The neurological fatigue index for stroke. Reliability of a Norwegian version.
CONCLUSION: NFI-Stroke has high test-retest reliability, and high internal consistency with neither floor nor ceiling effects for persons with stroke. The questionnaire may be useful both in general rehabilitation in institutions as well as in the municipal health services.

The precarity of patient participation - a qualitative interview study of experiences from the acute stroke and rehabilitation journey
CONCLUSION: Bodily changes, the traditional patient role, and the hospital context collectively exacerbate a reduction of individual autonomy. Thus, an interactive partnership between people who survived a stroke and multidisciplinary professionals may strengthen autonomy and promote participation after a stroke.PMID:36345567 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2140319

Perceived barriers and facilitators for gait-related participation in people after stroke: From a patients' perspective.
Conclusion: People after stroke who were physically able to walk independently still described multiple barriers to gait-related participation in all components of the ICF framework.

Physiotherapists' perspectives on aerobic exercise early after stroke: A preliminary study.
Abstract
Aerobic exercise is recognized as part of comprehensive stroke rehabilitation in best-practice and clinical guidelines, yet many individuals remain physically inactive during their hospitalization. The purpose of this study was to identify the perspectives of physiotherapists on aerobic exercise prescription and implementation at in-patient stroke rehabilitation centers with and without a structured aerobic exercise program. A survey was conducted at three Canadian rehabilitation centers to evaluate physiotherapist perceptions of individuals recovering from stroke, the practice environment, and their trai...

Satisfaction of Nigerian stroke survivors with outpatient physiotherapy care.
CONCLUSION: The stroke survivors were generally satisfied with outpatient physiotherapy care. However, lack of continuity and cost of care were sources of dissatisfaction among patients. Delivery of physiotherapy to stroke survivors in Nigeria should be structured to allow for continuity of care as this may enhance satisfaction. Implementation of inexpensive rehabilitation strategies may help reduce cost of physiotherapy.

Level of physical activity in men and women with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that strategies to increase PA levels 1-3-year post-stroke could be improved by considering gender-specific factors.

Concurrent impact of bilateral multiple joint functional electrical stimulation and treadmill walking on gait and spasticity in post-stroke survivors: a pilot study.
Conclusions: A short duration of bilateral FES in conjugation with treadmill walking contributed to significant improvement in gait speed, functional mobility, functional ambulation, range of motion and step length in post-stroke survivors. In contrast, no significant decreases were identified in the spasticity of the ankle plantar flexors and knee extensors muscles.

Effects of the brain-damaged side after stroke on the learning of a balance task in a non-immersive virtual reality environment.
Conclusion: Stroke survivors can learn balance tasks (H1), and the right hemisphere damaged patients demonstrate more errors than those with left hemisphere injury in higher complexity conditions (H2).

Immediate changes in post-stroke gait using a shoe lift on the nonaffected lower limb: A preliminary study.
CONCLUSION: The results showed that the immediate use of 1.5 cm shoe lifts seems to improve gait speed and functional mobility in chronic stroke patients. Further studies should focus on understanding the kinematics strategies and gait pattern alterations caused by shoe lifts under the NLL of post-stroke individuals.
