Use of Accelerometers to Examine Sedentary Time on an Acute Stroke Unit
Conclusions: Patients with acute stroke were sedentary most of their hospital stay. To minimize the potential negative effects of inactivity, our data suggest that there should be greater emphasis on increasing physical activity during the hospital stay.

The Brief Kinesthesia test is feasible and sensitive: a study in stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The BKT was feasible to administer and sensitive to differences in reaching accuracy between persons with stroke and a comparison group. With further refinement, The BKT may become a valuable clinical measure of post-stroke kinesthetic impairment. PMID: 26786083 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Responsiveness of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) in People With Subacute Stroke.
CONCLUSION: The BESTest was the most sensitive scale for assessing balance recovery in patients with subacute stroke due to its high internal and external responsiveness with no floor or ceiling effects. PMID: 27103226 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

High-Intensity Interval Training and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training in Ambulatory Chronic Stroke: A Feasibility Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Although further protocol optimization is needed to improve overground translation of treadmill gains, a definitive RCT comparing HIT and MCT appears to be feasible and warranted. PMID: 27103222 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Effect of Virtual Reality Training on Balance and Gait Ability in Patients With Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that VR training is more effective than balance or gait training without VR for improving balance or gait ability in patients with stroke. Future studies are recommended to investigate the effect of VR on participation level with an adequate follow-up period. Overall, a positive and promising effect of VR training on balance and gait ability is expected. PMID: 27174255 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Using the TIDieR Checklist to Standardize the Description of a Functional Strength Training Intervention for the Upper Limb After Stroke.
DISCUSSION: The TIDieR checklist provided a systematic way of describing a treatment intervention used in a clinical trial of stroke rehabilitation. Clarification is needed regarding several aspects of the TIDieR checklist, including in which section to report about the development of the intervention in pilot studies, results of feasibility studies; overlap between training and procedures for assessing fidelity; and where to publish supplementary material so that it remains in the public domain. SUMMARY: TIDieR is a systematic way of reporting the intervention delivered in a clinical trial of a complex intervention s...

Responsiveness of the Berg Balance Scale in patients early after stroke.
This study shows that a change of 6 BBS point or more can be considered an important change for patients in the sub-acute phase after stroke, which also represents an 80% probability of exceeding the measurement error. A total of 80% of unchanged patients would display random fluctuations within the bounds of MDC80, while 20% of unchanged patients would exceed MDC80.

Respiratory muscle training increases respiratory muscle strength and reduces respiratory complications after stroke: a systematic review
Conclusion: This systematic review provided evidence that respiratory muscle training is effective after stroke. Meta-analyses based on five trials indicated that 30minutes of respiratory muscle training, five times per week, for 5 weeks can be expected to increase respiratory muscle strength in very weak individuals after stroke. In addition, respiratory muscle training is expected to reduce the risk of respiratory complications after stroke. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether the benefits are carried over to activity and participation. Registration: PROSPERO (CRD42015020683). [Menezes KKP, Nascimento LR...

Dynamometry for the measurement of grip, pinch, and trunk muscles strength in subjects with subacute stroke: reliability and different number of trials
Conclusion Only one trial, following familiarization, demonstrated adequate intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the portable dynamometers for the measurement of hand grip, pinch grip and trunk strength in subjects with subacute stroke.

Measurements of Weight Bearing Asymmetry Using the Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board Are Not Reliable for Older Adults and Individuals With Stroke
Conclusions: Weight bearing asymmetry cannot be measured reliably in older adults and individuals with stroke using the Nintendo Wii Fit balance board without the use of specialized software.

Aerobic Exercise Prescription in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Web-Based Survey of US Physical Therapists
Conclusions: Most US PTs appear to recognize the importance of AEX for persons poststroke, but clinical implementation can be challenging. Future studies and consensus are needed to clarify best practices and to develop implementation interventions to optimize AEX utilization in stroke rehabilitation.

Outcome Measure Scores Predict Discharge Destination in Patients With Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review and Series of Meta-analyses.
CONCLUSION: Outcome measure scores are strong predictors of discharge destination among patients with stroke and provide an objective means of early discharge planning. Discharge decisions should be made with consideration for patient-specific biopsychosocial factors that may supersede isolated results of the outcome measures, and further research needs to assess the success of the location that a patient is referred at discharge.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A194).

Mirror therapy and treadmill training for a patient with chronic stroke: A case report.
DISCUSSION: The positive outcomes from this new combination therapy for this participant are encouraging given the relatively small dose of training and indicate the potential benefit of mirror therapy as an adjunct to treadmill training for enhancing lower limb muscle tone, motor function and walking velocity in patients with chronic stroke.
