An investigation of upper extremity function, sleep quality, and functional independence in patients with poststroke shoulder pain: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: PSSP impairs upper extremity functions, which play an important role in activities of daily living, and reduces functional independence. These results suggest that it is important to evaluate shoulder pain and examine the factors affecting pain in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke.PMID:37651602 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2253313

Physical Therapy Combined with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy: Treatment Practice Considering the Effect of Reducing Upper Limb Spasticity on Gait
Phys Ther Res. 2023;26(2):44-49. doi: 10.1298/ptr.R0025. Epub 2023 May 30.ABSTRACTWe perform physical therapy combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in stroke patients with hemiplegia in the maintenance phase with the intent of improving the support of paralyzed leg. In gait evaluation in patients with hemiplegia, it is important to assess elements related to coordination carefully. rTMS therapy is effective in alleviating the tension of upper limbs. As rTMS helps upper-limb swing to become evident during gait, it makes trunk rotation necessary for left-right coordination appear more easily. As a...

Physiotherapists' decision-making about transition to independent walking in hospital after stroke: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Decision-making about independent walking for people in a hospital after a stroke is complex. Improved guidance about clinical assessment of capacity and determining acceptable risk may enable physiotherapists to engage more in shared decision-making.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONRegaining independence in walking after a stroke comes with the potential risk of falls.Assessment of walking safety should be specific to the complexity of the situation and consider perception and cognition.Benefits of activity and autonomy, and the risk of falls need to be considered in decisions about walking independence.Patient...

Optokinetic stimulation effects in the management of unilateral spatial neglect in patients with chronic stroke: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee University of Salamanca on February 2020 (registration number: 584). All patients in the study will be informed about the objective of the study and will give their written informed consent to participate in the study. The anonymised database will be available from the publication of the results for 10 years in the repository of the University of Salamanca GREDOS (https://gredos.usal.es/). The trial results will be shared with the scientific community at international conferences and by publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Trial registration number NCT04663646.

Systematic review and cost-effectiveness analysis of the treatment of post-stroke spasticity with abobotulinumtoxinA compared to physiotherapy
CONCLUSION: The cost-effectiveness analyses show that aboBoNT-A together with physiotherapy would be a cost-effective treatment compared with physiotherapy alone, independently of the perspective considered.PMID:37507277 | DOI:10.1016/j.farma.2023.06.008

Tizanidine induced hypotension: report of a case and review of literature
CONCLUSION: This patient highlights the need for close monitoring of patients receiving tizanidine co-medication with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. These drugs have a synergistic effect on reducing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, thereby hypotension and bradycardia.PMID:37489780 | DOI:10.2174/1574886318666230725113855

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6339: Initial Testing of Robotic Exoskeleton Hand Device for Stroke Rehabilitation
ullah The preliminary test results of a novel robotic hand rehabilitation device aimed at treatment for the loss of motor abilities in the fingers and thumb due to stroke are presented. This device has been developed in collaboration with physiotherapists who regularly treat individuals who have suffered from a stroke. The device was tested on healthy adults to ensure comfort, user accessibility, and repeatability for various hand sizes in preparation for obtaining permission from regulatory bodies and implementing the design in a full clinical trial. Trials were conducted with 52 healthy individuals ranging in age fro...

Muscle Synergy-Based Functional Electrical Stimulation Reduces Muscular Fatigue in Post-Stroke Patients: A Systematic Comparison
Muscle synergy-based functional electrical stimulation had improved movement kinematics instantly and in long-term use in post-stroke patients. However, the therapeutic benefits and efficacy of muscle synergy-based functional electrical stimulation patterns over traditional stimulation patterns need exploration. This paper presents the therapeutic benefits of muscle synergy-based functional electrical stimulation compared to traditional stimulation patterns from the perspective of muscular fatigue and kinematic performance produced. Three stimulation waveforms/envelopes: customized rectangular, trapezoidal, and muscle syne...

'Patient unable to express why he was on the floor, he has aphasia.' A content thematic analysis of medical records and incident reports on the falls of hospital patients with communication disability following stroke
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The medical records and incident reports of patients with communication disability following stroke reveal that hospital staff recognize the impact of communication disability as potential risk factors for falls for this group. It was difficult for staff to report the circumstances of the fall for patients with severe communication disability. Despite the recognition of communication as a potential contributing factor, few medical record entries documented strategies related to communication interventions to improve patients' ability to understand instructions, gain attention or communicate basi...

Investigation of the Kinematic Upper-Limb Movement Assessment (KUMA): A Pilot Study
Conclusions: The KUMA provides clinicians with supplementary objective information for motion characterization that is not available through clinical measures alone. The KUMA can complement existing clinical measures such as the MAS and CMSA and can be helpful for monitoring patient progress.PMID:37325208 | PMC:PMC10262831 | DOI:10.3138/ptc-2019-0023
