Medication Self-Administration after Stroke (P5.181)
Conclusion: Stroke patients performed poorly on the HMS, and though performance improved after medication education, this may be related to spontaneous stroke recovery. MSA problems, assessed by HMS performance, may strongly predict post-acute care needs. Funded by: NJ Brain Injury Commission and Kessler FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Oyawusi has nothing to disclose.

Participants' perceptions of an aphasia-friendly occupational therapy home program.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall participants in this study with aphasia perceived the modifications to home programs including aphasia friendly written instructions and music to facilitate successful home practice. PMID: 30296202 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

277 Frailty and Early Supported Discharge (ESD) Post-Stroke: Are Frail Patients Referred to ESD and is Frailty Associated with Rehabilitation Outcomes?
ConclusionFrail patients are not routinely referred for ESD post-stroke. Patients who are pre-frail or frail make similar improvements with ESD compared to non-frail patient in functional independence but not quality of life. Comparable levels of physiotherapy and occupational therapy are provided but frail patients require less SLT. Further research is needed to ascertain if frail patients are appropriate for ESD.

Role of Aphasia in Discharge Location After Stroke
Conclusions: Cases with deficits in auditory comprehension, reading comprehension, and oral spelling to dictation had increased odds of being discharged to settings other than home. Early evaluation of these language deficits and prompt treatment may allow patients who would otherwise be discharged to an institution to go home. Further research is needed to design and evaluate individualized treatment protocols and their effect on discharge recommendations.

Current practice and challenges in screening for visual perception deficits after stroke: a qualitative study.
CONCLUSIONS: Screening employs non-standardised assessments and rarely covers higher visual perceptual deficits. We demonstrates the need for an evidence-based visual perception screen, which should ideally be 15 min or less, be portable, and require minimal equipment. The screen should be suitable for bedside testing and aphasia-friendly. Implications for rehabilitation There is a high demand for training on what visual perception deficits are and how to screen for them. Building local relationships between orthoptists and occupational therapists is perceived as highly beneficial for providing good vision and visual per...

Changes in white matter microstructure related to non-linguistic cognitive impairment in post-stroke aphasia.
CONCLUSION: Patients with PSA have non-linguistic cognitive impairment. The integrity of the white matter microstructures can be extensively damaged. Impaired SP and MP in patients with PSA are related to UF damage. PMID: 32697169 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Characteristics of Non-linguistic Cognitive Impairment in Post-stroke Aphasia Patients
Conclusion: Compared with stroke patients without aphasia, patients with PSA often have more extensive and serious non-linguistic cognitive impairments. Patients with non-fluent aphasia often present with serious cognitive impairments than those with fluent aphasia, especially the impairments of orientation and SP. Non-linguistic cognitive impairments correlate with language impairments in aphasia.

Outcomes of an interprofessional intensive comprehensive aphasia program's first five years
CONCLUSIONS: Results support research indicating that short-term intensive, interprofessional comprehensive aphasia programs (ICAPs) are effective treatment options for people with moderate-to-severe aphasia.PMID:34698621 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.1970452
