Does dual task merged in a mixed physical exercise protocol impact the mobility under dual task conditions in mild impaired stroke survivors? A feasibility, safety, randomized, and controlled pilot trial
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that mixed physical exercise under DT is feasible and safe for mild-impaired stroke survivors. Stroke survivors demonstrate more significant improvement in the mobility performance under DT when submitted to a DT mixed physical exercise protocol than the standard physical exercise intervention.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Brazilian clinical trials registry (RBR-4mvzz6); WHO trial record (U1111-1198-7173)IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONDT training can be prescribed by using clear and precise parameters for stroke survivors.Physical Exercise without DT requirements did not improve mobility performing a...

Neuropsychological rehabilitation, neuroimaging and neuroplasticity: A  clinical commentary
NeuroRehabilitation. 2021 Aug 13. doi: 10.3233/NRE-218024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInitial brain imaging studies on recovery of motor functioning after stroke suggested their potential prognostic value in neurorehabilitation. However, the value of brain imaging in documenting brain changes associated with cognitive and behavioral treatment effects seem less likely. Also, neuroimaging studies at that time seem to have little, if any, value for treatment planning. Advances in neuroimaging technology are beginning to challenge these initial impressions. In this clinical commentary, we propose that advances in the field ...

Validation of the telephone-based assessment of locomotion ability after stroke
The aim of the study was to validate the telephone-based application of the ABILOCO questionnaire for the assessment of locomotion ability after stroke. Individuals after stroke answered the ABILOCO-Brazil questionnaire on two randomized occasions, face-to-face and by telephone, 5–7 days apart. The mean difference between the interviews was reported. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to investigate the agreement between the total scores, and weighted-Kappa statistics to investigate the agreement between the individual items. A total of 92 individuals were included. There was no significant differe...

Stroke Communication Scale based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF - SCS).
Conclusion: The Stroke Communication Scale allows a comprehensive clinical evaluation helping in the development of individualized treatment programs in post-stroke in a biopsychosocial approach centered on the patient. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Communication disorders post-stroke can be an important social barrier. An assessment based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health offers an integral view of different perspectives of health. The Stroke Communication Scale is a holistic instrument to assess communication, participation, and functioning. The Stroke Communication Scale allows...

Measurement properties of the Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke.
Conclusions: Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke showed excellent reliability and redundant internal consistency. The construct validity with the Fugl-Meyer scale was strong. Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke was able to discriminate individuals with different levels of upper limb impairment. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Post-stroke individuals develop compensatory strategies to perform reaching movements with the paretic upper limb. The Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke provides a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the reach-to-grasp movement. The Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke is suitable for ...

Incidence and potential predictors of early onset of upper-limb contractures after stroke.
Conclusions: Individuals with mild and moderate stroke developed upper-limb contractures three months after the onset of the stroke, with an incidence of 28%. The predictors were the presence of pain and loss of dexterity. These impairments should be earlier targeted during rehabilitation interventions. Implications for rehabilitation The incidence of upper limb contracture 3 months after the stroke is high after mild to moderate stroke. Wrist contractures are the most common upper limb contracture. The presence of pain and loss of dexterity significantly contribute to the development of upper limb contractures. Health pro...

Predictors of return to work after stroke: a prospective, observational cohort study with 6  months follow-up.
Conclusions: Less than 50% of stroke survivors returned to work six months after stroke. Among predictors, only the level of dependence in daily activities is a modifiable factor. Interventions aimed at reducing disability after stroke might increase rates of return to work. Implications for rehabilitation In Brazil, less than 50% of stroke survivors returned to work six months after stroke. Clinicians may collect information regarding household income, type of work and dependence in daily activities to estimate chances of returning to work, in developing countries. Being independent at 3 months was the strongest predictor...

Identification of categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in functional assessment measures for stroke survivors: a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: The Functional Independence Measure has more concepts related to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, since it addresses a greater number of categories. These findings can help guide health professionals in the selection of assessment tools for the evaluation of post-stroke functioning, making viable the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health categories in clinical practice and public health services. Implications for rehabilitation This study standardized identification of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and H...
