Prevalence of Walking Limitation after Acute Stroke and its Impact on Discharge to Home
CONCLUSION: Approximately half of patients with first-ever stroke present with lower extremity weakness and walking limitation. Early walking ability is a significant predictor of returning home after acute hospitalization, independent of stroke severity. Discharge planning may be facilitated early after stroke with the familiar assessment of walking ability.IMPACT: An early assessment of walking function within days of stroke admission can help to streamline discharge planning.LAY SUMMARY: Nearly half of all individuals who experience a first-time stroke have walking difficulty when they arrive to the hospital.

Outcomes in Hospitalized Ischemic Stroke Patients with Dementia on Admission: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
This study sought to understand the prevalence of dementia in hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke, and its impact on outcomes. METHODS: Using the Canadian Institute of Health Information's (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), all acute ischemic stroke admissions from April 2003 to March 2015 in Canada (excluding Quebec) were analyzed. Concurrent dementia at the time of admission was assessed based on hospital diagnostic codes. Characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared in patients with and without dementia using χ 2 and negative binomial, as well as Poisson regression analysis. RESULTS: D...

Influence of low income on return to participation following stroke.
CONCLUSION: This case study demonstrated that even in a universal healthcare system, post-stroke participation for those with low incomes was severely restricted. Changes at the clinical level and at the public policy level could facilitate participation. Implications for rehabilitation Income influenced the experience of return to participation for the low-income stroke survivors by limiting their ability to afford housing, goods, and services. The macro environment, which regulates the healthcare and social service systems, was the strongest influence on return to participation for low income stroke survivors. Findings p...
