Recovery of Sensorimotor Functional Outcomes at Discharge from In-Patient Rehabilitation in Three Stroke Units in the Province of Quebec.
Conclusions: The use of a combination of observational and performance assessment tools was essential to capture the full range of disabilities. We have documented significant and clinically meaningful improvements in functional independence, disability, and upper and lower extremity functions after usual post-stroke in-patient rehabilitation in the province of Quebec and provided baseline data for future studies.

Front Desk Duty Multitasking Test after Mild Stroke: Preliminary Reliability and Validity.
Abstract BACKGROUND.: Performance-based multitasking assessments may be more sensitive than cognitive screens to detect executive dysfunction after a mild stroke. PURPOSE.: This cross-sectional study examined inter-rater reliability and preliminary convergent and discriminant validity of the Front Desk Duty Test (FDDT). METHOD.: Adults with mild stroke (n = 35) and community controls (n = 33) were administered the FDDT and other measures of executive functions. FINDINGS.: Inter-rater reliability of the FDDT subscores were high (ICC 0.971-0.999). There were weak but statistically significant correlat...

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Stroke Rehabilitation: Benefits and Clinical Utility Perceived by Physiotherapists and Individuals with Stroke
Conclusions: Both physiotherapists and patients described the benefit of having CPET available to support them as they participated in exercise in a stroke rehabilitation setting. Physiotherapists would benefit from having educational tools to support their interpretation and application of test results, and patients would benefit from improved communication and education to support their understanding of the relevance of CPET to their rehabilitation goals. Future research should explore these findings in other stroke rehabilitation settings.PMID:34456420 | PMC:PMC8370738 | DOI:10.3138/ptc-2019-0070
