Video-guided exercise after stroke: a feasibility randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: A trial of video-guided exercise is feasible, although an optimal main trial would require some relatively minor changes to design, outcome measures, eligibility, and the intervention. PMID: 32684076 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What are the factors affecting dual-task gait performance in people after stroke?
CONCLUSION: The present study indicated that dual-task performance was related to motor function, balance, and fatigue, whereas gross motor function was the unique determinant of dual-task performance. PMID: 32543967 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Investigating the relationship between spatiotemporal gait variability and falls self-efficacy in individuals with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that increased FES-I score may be related to increased stride variability post stroke. PMID: 32482118 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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.

Responsiveness, minimal detectable change, and minimal clinically important difference of the sitting balance scale and function in sitting test in people with stroke.
Conclusions: Both scales demonstrate sufficient responsiveness in the skilled nursing setting. Our findings suggest a change of 5 on the SBS and 4 on the FIST are clinically important, and clinicians may use these values to assess patient progress. PMID: 32401095 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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). PMID: 32090670 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Five-repetition sit-to-Stand test among patients post-stroke and healthy-matched controls: the use of different chair types and number of trials.
Conclusion: The 5STSt scores were affected by the physical characteristics of the chair, and an adjusted chair should be used. The APTA recommendation for one trial of the 5STSt is supported by the present results. PMID: 31884844 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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. PMID: 31793365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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. PMID: 31663796 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Neurorehabilitation for an individual with bilateral thalamic stroke and preexisting visual impairment presenting with impaired use of sensory cues: a case report.
Discussion: After 8 months of intensive rehabilitation, he demonstrated substantial improvements in all functional mobility and recovery of sensation. Rehabilitation included interventions such as electrical stimulation, fluidotherapy, repetitive task training, and most significantly, external augmented feedback. This feedback included sensory cues, auditory and tactile cues, and maximizing the use of vestibular input. This case demonstrates that neurorehabilitation can benefit patients with impaired use of sensory cues and central integration. PMID: 31657267 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Body and identity in physiotherapy after stroke.
Conclusion: A phenomenological approach to the patient can support the patient's embodied knowledge, and can thereby support and develop the patient's identity. PMID: 31642722 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The stroke exercise preference inventory is feasible to use in a community rehabilitation setting.
Abstract Exploring exercise preferences may help people to adhere to exercise programs by promoting customized programs to suit the person's choices and concerns. We investigated if the Stroke Exercise Preference Inventory, a questionnaire designed to explore stroke survivors' preferences for exercise and potential barriers, was feasible to use, and whether it assisted physiotherapists to design ongoing exercise programs in a mixed diagnostic convenience sample attending community rehabilitation. Physiotherapy staff interviewed 42 participants, and sought feedback about the questionnaire. Participant responses for...

Patient-selected music rhythmically-paired with in-patient rehabilitation: A case report on an individual with acute stroke.
Conclusion: Incorporating patient-selected music with in-patient physical rehabilitation may be a feasible intervention for patients with acute stroke. Further research with an adequate sample size that randomly assigns patients to music and control conditions is necessary to confirm the promising findings from this case report.

Viability of using a computer tablet to monitor an upper limb home exercise program in stroke.
Conclusion: Monitoring of patient practice using a tablet computer is feasible and may prove more reliable than self-report. There is variability in the amount of upper limb exercise stroke patients do at home. PMID: 31172867 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The use of motor learning and neural plasticity in rehabilitation for ataxic hemiparesis: A case report.
DISCUSSION: This case report describes a novel intervention strategy for a patient with ataxia following a lacunar stroke. The application of the principles of neural plasticity and motor learning was the foundation for a function-based plan of care. PMID: 30686101 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
