Exploring patient and public involvement in stroke research: a qualitative study.
Conclusions: PPI in stroke research benefits stroke survivors and carers and is perceived to benefit the research process. The barriers and facilitators should be considered by professionals intending to engage stroke survivors and carers collaboratively in research. Implications for Rehabilitation This study has implications for PPI in stroke rehabilitation research, which could also be extrapolated to stroke rehabilitation service development and evaluation. Professionals facilitating PPI need to invest in developing supportive relationships in order to maintain ongoing involvement. Professionals need to be aware of how ...

Factors associated with community ambulation in chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Balance self-efficacy may be a significant determinant in the attainment of independent community ambulation post-stroke. This suggests that physical aspects such as gait speed and walking balance should not be considered in isolation when addressing community ambulation post-stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Balance self-efficacy may play a significant role in the attainment of independent community ambulation in a chronic stroke population. Physiotherapy interventions addressing community ambulation post-stroke should consider methods for improving balance self-efficacy in chronic stroke, such as self m...

Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients Scores as a predictor of stroke patient ambulation at discharge from the rehabilitation ward.
CONCLUSION: Initial static PASS score, dynamic PASS score and rolling can be predictors for independent ambulation of stroke patients after a course of inpatient rehabilitation.

The inclination for conscious motor control after stroke: validating the Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale for use in inpatient stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The MSRS is a valid and reliable tool and suitable to assess the relationship between reinvestment and motor recovery in the first months post-stroke. Eventually, this may help therapists to individualize motor learning interventions based on patients' reinvestment preferences. Implications for rehabilitation This study showed that the Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale (MSRS) is a valid and reliable tool to objectify stroke patients' inclination for conscious motor control. The MSRS may be used to identify stroke patients who are strongly inclined to consciously control their movements, as this disposition ...

Activity among long-term stroke survivors. A study based on an ICF-oriented analysis of two established ADL and social activity instruments.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term stroke survivors have a high activity level in daily life, though individual variation is considerable. The structure provided by linking instruments to the ICF core set for stroke can be used for more fine-tuned descriptions of activity. Implications for Rehabilitation Since most long-term stroke survivors are independent in ADL but may have limitations in other activity domains such as social and leisure activities, these aspects should be considered in the rehabilitation process. Older stroke survivors deserve special attention due to their higher risk of long-term inactivity. The Barthel Index an...

Participation in leisure activities after stroke: A survey of community-residing stroke survivors in Nigeria.
CONCLUSIONS: Leisure participation was high in a general sense but marginal in recreational and productive/creative activities. The observed socio-demographic and clinical associations with post-stroke leisure participation may assist in providing effective leisure rehabilitation strategies.

Self-rated health and return to work after first-time stroke.
CONCLUSION: Self-rated health 3 months after stroke was strongly associated with return to work and work-stability after stroke.

Auditory rehabilitation after stroke: treatment of auditory processing disorders in stroke patients with personal frequency-modulated (FM) systems.
CONCLUSIONS: Personal FM systems may substantially improve speech-in-noise deficits in stroke patients who are not eligible for conventional hearing aids. FMs are feasible in stroke patients and show promise to address impaired AP after stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation This is the first study to investigate the benefits of personal frequency-modulated (FM) systems in stroke patients with disordered AP. All cases significantly improved speech perception in noise with the FM systems, when noise was spatially separated from the speech signal by 90° compared with unaided listening. Personal FM systems are feasible in s...

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...

Postural and gait disorders in subacute stroke patients: Lateropulsion is the key
Discussion – conclusion Lateropulsion, which is a sign of biased representation of the vertical, is a primary cause of postural and gait disorders at the subacute phase after right hemisphere stroke, explaining almost 80% of balance and gait disabilities. A greater attention should be focused on the assessment and the rehabilitation of the post-stroke lateropulsion.

Social participation following a stroke: an assessment in accordance with the international classification of functioning, disability and health.
CONCLUSIONS: Twenty-four ICF categories were coded and qualified with the use of the SS-QOL, enabling the participation component of the ICF biopsychosocial model to be easily evaluated in clinical practice. Overall, the sample in the present study demonstrated a moderate decline in participation following a stroke and only the "social roles" domain was severely affected. The FIM was the main predictor of participation and the depression was a moderate predictor. Therefore, health professionals involved in the rehabilitation of these patients should focus on the promotion of functional independence and improvements in emot...

Racial and ethnic disparities in stroke outcomes: a scoping review of post-stroke disability assessment tools.
CONCLUSIONS: A wide variety of assessments are used to examine disparities in post-stroke disability across the time course of stroke recovery. Several studies have identified disparities through a variety of assessments; however, substantial problems abound from the assessments used including inconsistent use of assessments, lacking evidence on the validity of assessments among racial/ethnic groups, and inadequate representation among all racial/ethnic populations comprising the US. Implications for Rehabilitation An enhanced understanding of racial/ethnic disparities in post-stroke disability outcomes is inherently impor...

Post-stroke spasticity and shoulder pain prevalence decrease over the last 15 years
Conclusions Disabling spasticity and shoulder pain frequency in recent post-stroke patients decreased over the last 15 years, and functional abilities both at admission and discharge improved. Confirmation of these results in a multicentric study may be important evidence of an improvement in stroke healthcare both in stroke and physical and rehabilitation medicine units in the last 10 years in France and could affect future estimations of the need for rehabilitation care after stroke.
