Availability of patient decision aids for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: A systematic review
The objective of this review was to examine the existence and accessibility of, as well as select outcomes associated with, published, formally evaluated patient decision aids for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. Methods Six databases were searched from inception to March 2016 with a research librarian. Two authors independently reviewed potential articles, selected trials meeting inclusion criteria, and assessed outcome measures. Outcomes included: patient knowledge, involvement, choice, and decisional conflict. Results The search resulted in 666 articles; most were excluded for not examining stroke prevention in...

Effect of neuro-orthopaedic surgery for spastic equinovarus foot after stroke. A prospective longitudinal study based on a goal-centered approach.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the efficacy of the neuro-orthopaedic surgical treatment of spastic equinovarus foot after stroke to improve walking capacities and to achieve personal goals in the body function and activity/participation domains of the ICF.

Gait Analysis With Cognitive-Motor Dual Tasks to Distinguish Fallers From Nonfallers Among Rehabilitating Stroke Patients
Conclusions: Examining the decrement of spatial gait characteristics (stride length and paretic and nonparetic step length) during a DT addressing working memory can identify fall-prone subacute stroke patients.

Abstract 272: Preliminary Data from RESOLVE (Rapid Evaluation for Stroke Outcomes using Lytics in Vascular Events) Study Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Preliminary findings showed that less than half of the patients and CG felt the education was clear. However additional interviews are planned. Preliminary insights suggest an opportunity to use an individualized risk and benefit decision tool to inform and engage patients and CG regarding treatment decisions. We believe this can be accomplished without increasing the door to needle time in administration of rt-PA.

Symptoms of stroke-related visual impairment.
CONCLUSIONS: Of those with no visual symptoms, 85% had objectively measured visual impairment. Conversely, 6.5% of those with visual symptoms had normal orthoptic examinations. Thus the presence or absence of visual symptoms does not infer absence or presence of visual impairment and may relate to recovery of visual impairment, cognitive, or communication impairment.

Movement goals encoded within the cortex and muscle synergies to reduce redundancy pre and post-stroke. The relevance for gait rehabilitation and the prescription of walking-aids. A literature review and scholarly discussion.
Abstract Current knowledge of neural and neuromuscular processes controlling gait and movement as well as an understanding of how these mechanisms change following stroke is an important basis for the development of effective rehabilitation interventions. To support the translation of findings from basic research into useful treatments in clinical practice, up-to-date neuroscience should be presented in forms accessible to all members of the multidisciplinary team. In this review we discuss aspects of cortical control of gait and movement, muscle synergies as a way of translating cortical commands into specific mu...

The regularity of orthosis use and the reasons for disuse in stroke patients
This is a Retrospective descriptive study. Orthoses and walking aids are used frequently in stroke rehabilitation to facilitate ambulation. The aim was to describe the regularity of orthosis use and the reasons for disuse in stroke after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. The study included 64 (43 men, 21 women) subacute stroke patients who had been discharged from our clinic in the last 6 months. Demographic and clinical findings, proposed orthoses and walking aids, frequency of usage for the proposed orthoses, reasons for disuse, and the ambulation levels were recorded. A total of 54 (84.4%) patients had an ankleā€...

Super-early images of brain perfusion SPECT using 123 I-IMP for the assessment of hyperperfusion in stroke patients
ConclusionsThe addition of super-early imaging to the conventional early imaging aids assessment of postischemic hyperperfusion by123I-IMP brain perfusion SPECT and may contribute to management of stroke patients in the era of reperfusion therapy.

Immediate augmented real-time forefoot weight bearing using visual feedback improves gait symmetry in chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that visual feedback aids in the improvement of gait symmetry, forefoot weight-bearing on the affected side, and spatiotemporal parameters. PMID: 32444583 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk factors and outcomes of HIV-associated stroke in Zambia
Objective: To compare risk factors and clinical outcomes between people with HIV (PWH) and HIV-uninfected (HIVāˆ’) adults with stroke hospitalized in Zambia. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of all adults admitted to the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia with a clinical diagnosis of stroke between October 2018 and March 2019. Standardized data collection instruments were used to collect demographic, clinical, laboratory and imaging results. Comparison between individuals with and without HIV infection was made using t tests for continuous parametric variables, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests for ...

Effectiveness and implementation of SHared decision-making supported by OUTcome information among patients with breast cancer, stroke and advanced kidney disease: SHOUT study protocol of multiple interrupted time series
Introduction Within the value-based healthcare framework, outcome data can be used to inform patients about (treatment) options, and empower them to make shared decisions with their health care professional. To facilitate shared decision-making (SDM) supported by outcome data, a multicomponent intervention has been designed, including patient decision aids on the organisation of post-treatment surveillance (breast cancer); discharge location (stroke) and treatment modality (advanced kidney disease), and training on SDM for health care professionals. The SHared decision-making supported by OUTcome information (SHOUT) study ...
