The effects of virtual reality augmented robot-assisted gait training on dual-task performance and functional measures in chronic stroke: a randomized controlled single-blind trial.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that VR augmented RAGT improved dual-task gait speeds and dual-task performance of chronic stroke patients however there were no difference between the two groups after the treatment. Although functional improvements were determined with VR combined RAGT approach, it was not superior to RAGT only treatment.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The results of current study suggest the simultaneous use of VR as an adjunct therapy method to the functional training to obtain functional gains in ambulant patients with chronic stroke.

Systematic review of guidelines to identify recommendations for upper limb robotic rehabilitation after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review has identified many opportunities to modernize and otherwise improve stroke patients' upper limb robotic therapy. Rehabilitation assisted by robot or electromechanical devices for stroke needs to be improved in clinical practice guidelines in particular in terms of applicability.

Early diagnosis of heterotopic ossification among patients admitted to a neurological post intensive care rehabilitation unit.
CONCLUSIONS: HO is a sub-acute complication which develops in patients admitted to ICU for severe central nervous system disorders as clinical suspicion or radiological confirmation of diagnosis was made within the first week after admission in neurological PICRU (i.e. 6 to 8 weeks after ICU admission).
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: As treatment for HO may at least partially improves rehabilitation and quality of life, we recommend a systematic screening in PICRU patients for HO by clinical examination supplemented by imaging in case of suspicion.

The clinical effect of Kinesio taping and modified constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function and spasticity in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: KT benefits patients with stroke in spasticity reduction and upper extremity function. The combination of KT and mCIMT provides extra benefit in motor performance with a more long-lasting effect.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Kinesio taping could act as potential adjuvant therapy in patient of stroke with hemiplegia.

Comparison between EQ-5D-5L and PROMIS-10 to evaluate health-related quality of life 3 months after stroke: a cross-sectional multicenter study.
CONCLUSIONS: Both EQ-5D-5L and PROMIS-10 prove to be useful instruments to evaluate HRQoL in patients who are living at home 3 months after stroke.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: It depends on the setting and underlying goal which patient-reported outcome measure is preferred to evaluate HRQoL 3 months after stroke. The PROMIS-10 should be preferred to detect differences in less affected stroke patients, whereas the EQ-5D-5L provides slightly more information in more affected stroke patients.

Muscle and tendon properties of the spastic lower leg after stroke defined by ultrasonography: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the fact that objective assessment by ultrasonography holds promise for diagnosis and follow-up of spastic hemiparesis after stroke, more evidence is needed to determine how changes in morphological muscle and tendon properties are related to muscle weakness, severity of spasticity and compensation strategies such as disuse or overuse in longitudinal studies starting early after stroke.

Discontinuation of botulinum neurotoxin type-A treatment during COVID-19 pandemic: an Italian survey in post stroke and traumatic brain injury patients living with spasticity.
CONCLUSIONS: The discontinuation of BoNT-A treatment was associated with worsening of activities and participation and perceived spasticity. COVID-19 related problems and rehabilitation showed an association with loss of independence.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This study will provide useful information in the field of spasticity management using a patient's centred approach, with consistent quantitative and qualitative information.

The impact of body mass index on functional rehabilitation outcomes of working-age inpatients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: FIM outcomes were not associated to BMI, nevertheless each BMI category when individually considered (normal weight, overweight or obese) was characterized by different associations involving FIM outcomes and clinical factors.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In sub-acute post-stroke working-age patients undergoing rehabilitation, BMI was not associated to FIM outcomes (no obesity paradox was reported in this sample). Distinctive significant associations emerged within each BMI category, (supporting their characterization) such as length of stay and TFIM effectiveness were associated for normal weight and ...

International consensus recommendations for outcome measurement in poststroke arm rehabilitation trials.
CONCLUSIONS: The SMART Toolbox provides a refined selection of measures that capture outcomes considered important by stakeholders for each ICF domain.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The toolbox will facilitate data aggregation for efficacy analyses thereby strengthening evidence to inform clinical practice. Clinicians can also use the toolbox to guide selection of measures ensuring a patient-centred focus.

Localized muscle vibration in the treatment of motor impairment and spasticity in post-stroke patients: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: LMV may be a feasible and safe tool to be integrated into traditional and conventional neurorehabilitation programs for post-stroke patients to reduce spasticity. Analysis of the available clinical trials do not allow us to indicate vibration therapy as effective in functional motor recovery, despite some studies showed encouraging results. Further studies, with larger size of homogeneous patients and with a shared methodology are needed to produce more reliable data especially on the lower limb.

Effect of optokinetic stimulation on weight-bearing shift in standing and sitting positions in stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: OKS could induce a significant shift in weight balance in patients with hemiplegia after stroke who are incapable of independent standing, suggesting that the OKS approach can be applied to a broader spectrum of patients, including those with more severe symptoms.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: OKS approach would improve exercise training in the early phase of rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

Patterns of cognitive-motor dual-task interference post stroke: an observational inpatient study at hospital discharge.
CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive-motor dual-task interference on gait speed is highly prevalent in ambulatory stroke survivors with mild cognitive-linguistic impairments at hospital discharge. Variability in cognitive-task performance under dual-task conditions has implications for the reliability of dual-task assessment after stroke.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Assessment of dual-task walking is feasible as a predischarge evaluation of attention-demanding mobility function after stroke.

The effects of lower extremity cross-training on gait and balance in stroke patients: a double-blinded randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Gait and balance improved in hemiplegic stroke patients who participated in cross-training, regardless of the intervention applied to the affected or unaffected side.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In clinical settings, for patients who experience difficulties with direct interventions on the affected side, we propose indirect interventions to improve gait and balance.

Predictive factors of upper limb motor recovery for stroke survivors admitted to a rehabilitation programme.
CONCLUSIONS: Initial motor and cognitive impairments may be associated with UE motor recovery in patients admitted to a rehabilitation programme.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Early assessments of motor and cognitive impairments after stroke would contribute to the prediction of UE motor recovery in patients admitted to a rehabilitation programme. The information would also help the stratification of patients for poststroke upper limb rehabilitation trials.
