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.

Redefining a minimal assessment protocol for stroke rehabilitation: the new "Protocollo di Minima per l'ICtus" - PMIC2020
CONCLUSIONS: The PMIC2020 provides an updated tool for the multidimensional rehabilitation assessment of the stroke patient, at any stage of the rehabilitation pathway; it aims to provide a shared minimum set of variables defining patient's needs and outcomes across different rehabilitation facilities and settings.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The PMIC2020 identifies patient's needs, outcomes, and predictors of response to specific interventions in Stroke rehabilitation and provide ground for a highly needed Stroke Registry.PMID:34042407 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.21.06638-7

Features and predictors of activity limitations and participation restriction 2 years after intensive rehabilitation following first-ever stroke.
CONCLUSION: Gait dysfunction is the main factor of Activities limitation and Participation restriction in chronic stroke. Participation is restricted by global disability, depression, older age and dementia. More than 50% variance of Participation measures cannot be explained by the quoted factors. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The study results support the need to integrate the standard rehabilitation approach with vocational rehabilitation in order to reduce Participation restriction.

Predictors of Subjective Cognitive Complaint in Postacute Older Adult Stroke Patients
Abstract: Objective: To investigate the impact of objective cognitive impairment, negative affect, and fatigue on cognitive complaint in a postacute (mean=6.64±1.32mo) sample of patients with ischemic stroke.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Specialized stroke units at major metropolitan hospitals.Participants: Patients with first-ever ischemic stroke (N=25) aged between 50 and 85 years with relatively good neurologic recovery (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤7) during the postacute period. Participants were excluded from the study if there was a documented history of psychiatric illness, neurolog...
