Comparing the measurement properties and relationship to gait speed recovery of the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test and the Berg Balance Scale in ambulatory individuals with subacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the Mini-BESTest is more useful than the BBS in terms of its measurement properties and ability to measure gait recovery in middle and older ambulatory individuals with subacute stroke. PMID: 32850282 [PubMed]

Reliability and validity of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale-Japanese (ABC-J) in community-dwelling stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: ABC-J is a valid and reliable measurement tool for investigating balance confidence among patients ≥6 months after stroke. PMID: 32850274 [PubMed]

Strength training to improve walking after stroke: how physiotherapist, patient and workplace factors influence exercise prescription.
Conclusions: Implementation of strength training to improve walking after stroke was diverse. Therapist-related barriers to the implementation of effective strength training programs highlight the need for improved knowledge, training and research engagement. Limited resourcing demonstrates the need for organizational prioritization of stroke education and skill development. Narrowing the evidence-practice gap remains a challenge.

Implicit and Explicit Motor Learning Interventions Have Similar Effects on Walking Speed in People After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Implicit motor learning was not superior to explicit motor learning to improve walking speed in people after stroke in the chronic phase of recovery. IMPACT: To our knowledge this is the first study to examine the effects of implicit compared to explicit motor learning on a functional task in people after stroke. Results indicate that physical therapists can use (tailored) implicit and explicit motor learning strategies to improve walking speed in people after stroke who are in the chronic phase of recovery.

Effect of Virtual Reality Gait Training on Participation in Survivors of Subacute Stroke: Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The effect of VRT was not statistically different from non-VRT in improving participation in community-living people after stroke. IMPACT: Although outcomes were not statistically different, treadmill-based VRT was a safe and well-tolerated intervention that was positively rated by people after stroke. VR training might, therefore, be a valuable addition to stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 33594443 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Look Before You Leap: Interventions Supervised via Telehealth Involving Activities in Weight-Bearing or Standing Positions for People After Stroke-A Scoping Review.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified strategies used in research to date which can support current practice. However, urgent research is needed to ensure that stroke survivors are receiving evidence-based, effective services. IMPACT: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a rapid shift to telerehabilitation services for people with stroke, but there is little evidence to guide best practice. Our review provides practical guidance and strategies to overcome barriers, and optimize safety and adherence for telehealth interventions involving activities in weightbearing or standing positions.

Current Clinical Practices of Saudi Physiotherapists in Stroke Rehabilitation
This article uses an existing American survey to compare Saudi physiotherapists' current practice and preferred interventions in stroke rehabilitation with their counterparts in other countries. Method: An electronic survey was sent between September and October 2020 to physiotherapists (n = 287) treating persons with stroke in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of items related to stroke rehabilitation, including treatment approach, the goal of interventions, management of tone, facilitation of movement, function, and improved motor control. Chi-square tests (χ2) were used to test any associations between p...

Relationship among trunk control, activities of daily living, and upper extremity function during the first week after stroke in patients with acute cerebral infarction
Conclusion] The trunk control ability assessed using the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke is strongly correlated with activities of daily living estimated using the Functional Independence Measure in the first week after stroke in patients with acute cerebral infarction. The upper extremity component of Fugl-Meyer Assessment was not identified as a factor affecting the Functional Independence Measure.PMID:35400839 | PMC:PMC8989477 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.315

Hemiplegic shoulder pain affects ipsilesional aiming movements after stroke: a cross-sectional study

The potential of wearable technology to support stroke survivors' motivation for home exercise - Focus group discussions with stroke survivors and physiotherapists
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors' use of wearable technology to promote home exercise will depend as much on their trust in the professional and relational competence of the physiotherapist as the technical issues of an app. The potential benefits of wearable technology for cooperation between stroke survivors and physiotherapists and as a tool for rehabilitation were highlighted.PMID:37246716 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2217987

A retrospective study on return to living alone of stroke patients who were living alone before stroke
Conclusion] Social factors and ability to perform activities of daily living are important for return to solitary living for patients with stroke who lived alone prior to stroke onset.PMID:37266369 | PMC:PMC10231966 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.35.440
