Quality of life and burden of informal caregivers of stroke survivors
This study was aimed at determining the level of strain experienced by the caregivers of stroke survivors and the quality of life (QoL) of these caregivers. The QoL and caregiving burden among informal caregivers of stroke survivors seen at the physiotherapy outpatient clinic of two hospitals in south-western Nigeria were documented. Participants completed the Personal Wellbeing index for QoL measurement and Modified Caregivers Strain Index for measurement of Caregivers Burden Score. A total of 130 informal caregivers of stroke survivors participated in this study. The mean age of caregivers was 41.1 ± 14.0 years, while...

Effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training in stroke rehabilitation: A retrospective matched control study
Conclusion The results suggested that RAGT can provide stroke patients extra benefits in terms of ambulation, mobility, and balance. However, in the aspect of basic activities of daily living, the effect of RAGT on stroke patients is similar to that of traditional physiotherapy.

Relationship between dynamic balance and spatiotemporal gait symmetry in hemiplegic patients with chronic stroke
Conclusion Thus, control of dynamic balance abilities is related to the magnitude of temporal gait symmetry. This observation suggests that rehabilitation strategies that improve dynamic balance may enhance temporal gait symmetry in post-stroke patients.

Community reintegration in stroke survivors: Relationship with motor function and depression
This study explored the association of community reintegration with motor function and post-stroke depression (PSD). Ninety community-dwelling stroke survivors with mean age of 58.3 ± 7.8 years participated in this study. Participants were 56 men and 34 women attending the physiotherapy clinics of selected hospitals in southwestern Nigeria. Motor function was assessed using the Motor Assessment Scale (MAS), PSD by the Hamilton Depression Scale, and community reintegration by the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI). The mean RNLI, MAS, and PSD scores were 57.3 ± 23.5, 34.9 ± 10.9, and 9.4 ± 4.8, respecti...

Augmented reality-based postural control training improves gait function in patients with stroke: Randomised controlled trial
Publication date: Available online 3 June 2014 Source:Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal Author(s): Chi-Ho Lee , Yumi Kim , Byoung-Hee Lee The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of augmented reality (AR)-based postural control training on balance and gait function in stroke patients. Twenty-one stroke patients were assigned to either an experimental group (n = 10) or a control group (n = 11). Patients in both groups received a general physical therapy program for a duration of 30 minutes per session, 5 days per week, for a period of 4 weeks. Participants in the experimental group received additional A...

Effect of different combinations of physiotherapy treatment approaches on functional outcomes in stroke patients: A retrospective analysis
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal, Volume 32, Issue 1 Author(s): Bryan Ping Ho Chung This retrospective study compared the functional outcomes among stroke patients who had received rehabilitation based on different physiotherapy treatment approaches. The participants were divided into three groups according to the physiotherapist in charge of their treatment. The primary treatment approaches applied in Group A, Group B, and Group C were the functional approach, the Bobath approach, and the motor learning approach, respectively. For each participant, the Berg's Balance Scale score, the Mo...
