Daily Functional Activities in Context After Stroke: A Large-Scale Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) Study
To describe where, with whom, and how time was spent daily, to characterize these daily activity patterns as a function of employment, mobility device use, and cognitive functioning, and to validate EMA methods of daily activities and symptoms in people with stroke.

Exploring racial performance disparities with the Modified Mini-Mental State Exam (3MS) in an acute brain injury rehabilitation setting.
Conclusions/Implications: These findings underscore a point of caution about interpreting the results of a cognitive screening measure like the 3MS without the context of an individual’s neurological history and race. Black individuals might be at risk for being inappropriately screened to be cognitively impaired, and some level of racial sensitivity should be taken at the item level for repetition and comprehension constructs.

Exploring the lived return-to-work experience of individuals with acquired brain injury: use of vocational services and environmental, personal and injury-related influences
CONCLUSIONS: The use and effectiveness of vocational services were variable across participants and depended on insurance coverage and needs. Barriers and facilitators for RTW were affected by both the environment and the individual. Implications for vocational rehabilitation were identified.Implications for RehabilitationA supportive workplace and family, and access to appropriate vocational rehabilitation are important environmental facilitators for RTW in individuals with ABI.Workplaces with a poor understanding of ABI and employment service providers unable to find work for individuals with ABI are environmental barrie...

Incorporating Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage Measures in Rehabilitation Clinical Trials
Socioeconomic disadvantage measures characterize the relative disadvantage of an individual or social network using indicators of employment, housing, poverty, and education. While related to a number of health outcomes, socioeconomic disadvantage measures have not been routinely incorporated in rehabilitation research. The purpose of this analysis was to examine the relationships of the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) with stroke survivor (SS) and carepartner (CP) factors, and family functioning.

Personalized predictions of treatment outcome in patients with post-stroke depressive symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Post-stroke depressive symptoms form a complex and multifactorial problem. Treatment outcome is influenced by the characteristics of the stroke, the patient, and their spouse. The results show that psychological distress is probably no obstacle to attempting to improve participation. The personalized predictions (prognostic index scores) of treatment outcome show promising results, which, after further replication and validation, could aid clinicians with treatment selection.

Low gait speed is associated with low physical activity and high sedentary time following stroke.
Conclusions: Physical activity is low following stroke and should be a target for treatment, particularly in those with gait speeds ≤0.8 m/s.Implications for rehabilitationSeventy-three percent of stroke survivors performed ≥30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity throughout the day.Twenty-seven percent of stroke survivors accumulated ≥30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity in 10 minute bouts.Despite relatively good physical ability, daily step count was low in this sample.Those with gait speeds ≤0.8 m/s had lower physical activity levels and higher sedentary time.

Need for structured healthcare organization and support for return to work after stroke in Sweden: Experiences of stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: Tailored rehabilitation content and a structured stepwise return-to-work process facilitated return to work. Insufficient structure within the healthcare system and lack of support in daily life were perceived barriers to return to work, and need to be improved. These aspects should be considered in the return-to-work process after stroke. PMID: 31468058 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Perspectives on neurorehabilitation of unilateral impairments through cross-education.
Conclusion: Cross-education may serve as a viable option for those patients presenting severe unilateral weakness who are not able to fully exercise their weaker side directly. However, it should not be recommended straightaway if the training goal is to improve outcomes other than strength. As such, contralateral training may prove as a primer to establish a minimum level of strength that may suffice to sustain direct training, which has been proved to prompt more meaningful functional changes. Implications for rehabilitation Cross-education consists of training the stronger limb to increase strength in the untrained weak...

A Systematic Scoping Review of Work Interventions for Hospitalised Adults with an Acquired Neurological Impairment
Conclusion Return to work intervention appears to be an important component of neurological rehabilitation. While studies to date have identified enablers for the integration of work interventions into the inpatient hospital setting, there is limited description of specific components of programs, and a lack of studies evaluating program effectiveness.

Development of a 3D, networked multi-user virtual reality environment for home therapy after stroke
Impairment of upper extremity function is a common outcome following stroke, to the detriment of lifestyle and employment opportunities. Yet, access to treatment may be limited due to geographical and transpor...

Barriers and facilitators associated with return to work after stroke: a qualitative meta-synthesis.
CONCLUSION: Return to work after stroke is a complex process which can be facilitated or impeded by organizational, social or personal factors, as well as accessibility to appropriate services. Implications for Rehabilitation Following a period of dedicated inpatient rehabilitation, there is a need to integrate community-support services to optimize return to work among stroke survivors. A dedicated community stroke support liaison officer may help to facilitate the transition between the hospital and the community and workplace environment. Education provided by healthcare professionals is necessary in the community and t...

Evaluation of a four month rehabilitation program for stroke patients with balance problems and binocular visual dysfunction.
CONCLUSIONS: Although a control group is lacking, the evidence suggests that the positive improvement is a result of the combined visual and balance training. The combination of balance and visual training appears to facilitate changes at a multimodal level affecting several functions important in daily life.
