The Nottingham Fatigue After Stroke (NotFAST) study: results from follow-up six months after stroke.
Conclusions Half the stroke survivors reported fatigue at six months post-stroke. Reduced independence in activities of daily living and higher anxiety levels were associated with the level of fatigue. Persistent and delayed onset fatigue may affect independence and participation in rehabilitation, and these findings should be used to inform the development of appropriate interventions.

Aphasia and swallowing problems in subjects with incident stroke in rural northern Tanzania: a case-control study.
Conclusions: This is the first attempt to describe aphasia incidence in a sub-Saharan African language. Further work on the psychometric properties of the screening instrument is warranted. Given that it delivers a relatively coarse indication of language disturbance, it is likely that incidence of aphasia in the current cohort is underestimated. PMID: 24521840 [PubMed - in process]

The role of subjective cognitive complaints and depressive symptoms in social re-integration following stroke: a mediation explanation in a cross-sectional sample.
Conclusions Subjective cognitive complaints are common in long-term outcome following stroke and predict difficulty in community reintegration. However, this relationship is mediated by variation in emotional status. Therefore, addressing cognitive complaints through cognitive rehabilitation programs that include components to improve mood (for example, building self-efficacy or confidence) may also improve community reintegration post-stroke.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese-version Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale 39-generic version (SAQOL-39g).
CONCLUSIONS: The Chinese-version SAQOL-39g has excellent reliability, validity, and feasibility for measuring the QOL of Chinese post-stroke aphasia patients. The consistency between self-report and proxy-report forms was good, implying that the proxy-report form can be used to assess the QOL of post-stroke aphasia patients.

Validation of stroke-specific protocols for the 10-meter walk test and 6-minute walk test conducted using 15-meter and 30-meter walkways.
Conclusions: Findings showed excellent test-retest reliability; measurement error values similar to current literature; and support for construct validity of the 10mWT, 6MWT15m, and 6MWT30m. Due to the shorter walkway, the 6MWT15m may be more feasible to implement than the 6MWT30m in hospital settings. A larger sample with more severe deficits is required to improve generalizability.

Barriers and facilitators to implementing stepped psychological care for people with aphasia: Perspectives of stroke health professionals.
Conclusion Addressing the identified barriers and facilitators to stepped psychological care will improve the viability of implementing this evidence-based framework after post-stroke aphasia. Change may be driven through specialist training for health professionals in communication support; mood assessment and treatments; modification of physical space; and accessible resources.

Fidelity to a motivational interviewing intervention for those with post-stroke aphasia: a small-scale feasibility study.
This study aimed to explore the feasibility of motivational interviewing (MI) in people with post-stroke aphasia. METHODS: In a small-scale feasibility study, consecutive patients admitted to an acute stroke ward were screened for eligibility. People with moderate to severe aphasia were eligible. Those consenting received an intervention consisting of up to eight MI sessions delivered twice per week over four weeks. Sessions were modified using aids and adaptations for aphasia. Session quality was measured using the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC) to assess MI fidelity. RESULTS: Three consenting pati...

A scoping review of PhotoVoice for people with post-stroke aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS: Further inquiry regarding how best to adapt PhotoVoice for people with aphasia will facilitate their ability to be included in community-based research. This is an important step in ensuring that all post-stroke stakeholders are involved in projects related to social justice and policy for stroke survivors.

Therapeutic interventions for aphasia initiated more than six months post stroke: a review of the evidence.
CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence to support the use of a number of treatments for chronic aphasia post stroke. Further research is required to fully support the use of these interventions and to explore the effectiveness of other aphasia interventions in the chronic stage.

Psychometric properties of the Dutch SAQOL-39NL in a generic stroke population.
CONCLUSIONS: These data provide further evidence for the acceptability, internal consistency, and initial promising data on validity of the SAQOL-39NLg. Further research on structural validity and responsiveness to change is needed. PMID: 30380373 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Objective and subjective sleep problems and quality of life of rehabilitation in patients with mild to moderate stroke.
Conclusion: Objective sleep parameters (sleep onset latency and sleep efficiency) were found to be associated with quality of life during the early stage of rehabilitation in mild to moderate stroke patients. PMID: 31618116 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prevalence of aphasia after stroke in a hospital population in southern Brazil: a retrospective cohort study.
Conclusions: PWA may need more health care during hospitalization, because of the severity of the stroke, and their frailty. Further studies are needed to assess the direct impact of aphasia on inpatients. PMID: 31687916 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Subacute ischemic stroke rehabilitation outcomes in working-age adults: The role of aphasia in cognitive functional independence.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified no significant differences in C-FIM outcomes (gain, efficiency and effectiveness) either in LOS between PWA and patients without aphasia, though C-FIM differences were significant at admission and discharge. Aphasia was a significant predictor of C-FIM gain and C-FIM at discharge. PMID: 32967590 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Motor recovery in post-stroke patients with aphasia: the role of specific linguistic abilities.
CONCLUSIONS: Motor function at admission resulted as the variable that most affects the motor recovery of post-stroke patients with aphasia after rehabilitation. A linguistic test requiring also non-linguistic abilities, including attention and working memory (i.e. Token test) is an independent predictor as well.
