Stroke survivors' perceptions of the factors that influence engagement in activity outside dedicated therapy sessions in a rehabilitation unit: A qualitative study
CONCLUSION: At the individual level, stroke survivors perceived that their ability to be active outside of dedicated therapy sessions was influenced by their impairments, including mood, and their attitude towards and preference for activity. At the ward level, stroke survivors perceived that their ability to be active was influenced by ward set-up, rules and staff expectations. Visitors were perceived to be important facilitators of activity outside of therapy sessions.PMID:35290136 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221087424

Evaluation of a staff behaviour change intervention to increase the use of ward-based practice books and active practice during inpatient stroke rehabilitation: a phase-1 pre-post observational study.
CONCLUSION: A staff behaviour change intervention has the potential to increase the number of stroke survivors receiving ward-based practice books but did not increase active practice. PMID: 32204599 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dose and setting of rehabilitation received after stroke in Queensland, Australia: a prospective cohort study.
CONCLUSION: Amount of therapy varied widely between rehabilitation pathways. Amount of therapy and chance of improvement in function were highest with inpatient rehabilitation. PMID: 32389061 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The effect of self-management programs on post-stroke social participation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The self-management programs seem not to be superior to usual care for the improvement on social participation in stroke survivors based on current evidence. Further well-designed investigation considering social participation as the primary outcome is still warranted.PMID:35765234 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221095477

Investigation of the implementation of a Communication Enhanced Environment model on an acute/slow stream rehabilitation and a rehabilitation ward: A before-and-after pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a Communication Enhanced Environment model was feasible in this specific setting and may potentially influence patients' engagement in language activities. The unforeseen contextual challenges that occurred during the study period demonstrate the challenging nature of the hospital environment and will be useful in future research planning.PMID:34749509 | DOI:10.1177/02692155211032655

Composite active range of motion (CXA) and relationship with active function in upper and lower limb spastic paresis.
CONCLUSION: CXA is a valid measure for functional impairments in spastic paresis. CXA improvements following abobotulinumtoxinA injection correlated with and preceded active functional improvements. PMID: 32336148 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
