Lower-extremity constraint-induced movement therapy improved motor function, mobility, and walking after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: In an outpatient clinic setting, high-intensity LE-CIMT statistically significant improved motor function, functional mobility, and walking ability in middle-aged patients in the sub-acute and chronic post-stroke phases. However, studies with more robust designs need to be conducted to deepen the understanding of the efficacy of LE-CIMT.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: High-intensity LE-CIMT may be a feasible and useful treatment option in outpatient clinics to improve post-stroke walking ability.PMID:36892520 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.07683-9

Measurement properties of the Swedish modified version of the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (SwePASS) using Rasch analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The SwePASS exhibited several promising measurement properties. To improve the scale, poor targeting, illogical response categories and local dependency should be addressed. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The SwePASS provides valuable clinical information regarding postural control in the acute phase after stroke. PMID: 28497929 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
