Modelling long-term outcomes and risk of death for patients with post-stroke spasticity receiving abobotulinumtoxina treatment and rehabilitation therapy
CONCLUSION: AbobotulinumtoxinA + rehabilitation therapy may improve long-term outcomes, including post-stroke survival, while being cost-effective for the treatment of post-stroke spasticity.PMID:35844200 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v54.2422

Effect of turning direction on Timed Up and Go test results in stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study found that stroke patients showed differences in the TUG test results based on their turning direction, and less time was required when turning in the direction of the affected side than when turning in the direction of the unaffected side. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Turning direction can affect the results of the TUG test; it should be controlled in the execution of the TUG test in clinical settings.

Land-based and acquatic trunk exercise program improve trunk control, balance and activities of daily living ability in stroke: a randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the LATE program can help improve trunk control, balance, and activities of daily living in chronic stroke patients and may be used as a practical adjunct to conventional physical therapy. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The LATE program can improve postural control in stroke patients and improve independence in daily activities. PMID: 30370752 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Robot-assisted gait training effectively improved lateropulsion in subacute stroke patients: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: RAGT ameliorated lateropulsion and balance function more effectively than CPT in subacute stroke patients. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Early RAGT may be recommended for patients with lateropulsion after stroke. PMID: 30507899 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The effect of additional neuromuscular electrical stimulation applied to erector spinae muscles on functional capacity, balance and mobility in post stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: It is recommended to evaluate and treat trunk muscle, which is usually neglected in treatment, and to consider the combination of conventional treatment and neuromuscular electric stimulation when designing an ideal rehabilitation program.

Long-Term Rehabilitation Utilization Pattern Among Stroke Patients Under the National Health Insurance Program
Conclusions Besides personal factors, geographic factors such as urban-rural gaps and number of therapists were significantly associated with the utilization of post-stroke rehabilitation care. Furthermore, the influence of certain factors, such as sex, stroke type, and copayment exemption type, changed over time.

Effects of upper limb robot-assisted therapy on motor recovery in subacute stroke patients
Background and purpose: There is little evidence available on the use of robot-assisted therapy in subacute stroke patients. A randomized controlled trial was carried out to evaluate the short-time efficacy of intensive robot-assisted therapy compared to usual physical therapy performed in the early phase after stroke onset. Methods: Fifty-three subacute stroke patients at their first-ever stroke were enrolled 30 +/- 7 days after the acute event and randomized into two groups, both exposed to standard therapy. Additional 30 sessions of robot-assisted therapy were provided to the Experimental Group. Additional 30 sessions o...

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the unaffected hemisphere leg motor area in patients with subacute stroke and substantial leg impairment: A pilot study.
Conclusion: Application of 1-Hz rTMS may improve mobility among patients with substantial leg impairment after subacute stroke. PMID: 25679340 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effectiveness of Adaptive Physical Activity combined with Therapeutic Patient Education in stroke survivors at 12 months: a non-randomized parallel group study.
CONCLUSION: APA-TPE is an effective intervention to maintain and improve activities of daily living, reduce falls and recourse to rehabilitation treatments at 12 months. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Structured physical activity programs that can be performed also at home, when combined with therapeutic education focused on benefits of physical activity, will encourage stroke survivors to continue exercising. Therefore, it fulfills an essential requirement to the maintenance of lasting health benefits and the prevention of physical and psychological deterioration.

Comparative effects of robotic-assisted gait training combined with conventional physical therapy on paretic hip joint stiffness and kinematics between subacute and chronic hemiparetic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: RAGT combine with conventional physical therapy may be useful when selecting therapeutic interventions to improve the active torque, resistive torque, and stiffness in the paretic hip flexion phase in patients with chronic hemiparetic stroke who reached a plateau in the maximum locomotor recovery after conventional locomotor training.

The cardiac autonomic nervous system response to different daily demands among patients at the sub-acute phase post ischemic stroke and healthy controls.
CONCLUSION: Patients post-stroke experience hyper sympathetic function at rest and less adaptive cardiac autonomic control during different activities, which all may have an impact on rehabilitation outcomes. PMID: 29660948 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The effect of task-oriented electromyography-triggered electrical stimulation of the paretic wrist extensors on upper limb motor function early after stroke: a pilot randomized controlled trial
The combined effect of task-oriented motor training and electromyography (EMG)-triggered electrical stimulation (ES) has been examined in chronic stroke, but there are no published reports in patients with early stroke. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the short-term and long-term effects of task-oriented EMG-triggered ES on upper limb motor function in acute/subacute stroke. Twenty-seven patients with stroke within the first 3 months after stroke onset were randomly allocated to an experimental group and a control group. Twenty-three patients (12 patients in the experimental group and 11 patients in t...

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.
