Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation for Secondary Prevention After Transient Ischemic Attack or Mild Stroke: PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE AND OUTCOMES
Purpose: Having previously reported that comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) is effective for secondary prevention post-transient ischemic attack (TIA)/mild nondisabling stroke (MNDS), we present psychometric findings for the same sample that elucidate subacute TIA/MNDS psychological outcomes and test whether CCR would be independently associated with psychological improvements. Methods: In this prospective cohort trial patients with ≥1 risk factor, recruited from a stroke prevention clinic within 12 months (mean = 11.5 weeks) post-TIA/MNDS, entered CCR. Results: Of the 110 recruited patients, 100 (mean age = 65...

Combining Robotic & Assistive Technologies To Improve Outcomes: A Pilot Study Quantifying Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke is the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States. Unfortunately, many survivors experience upper extremity (UE) impairment with few rehabilitation opportunities, secondary to a lack of voluntary muscle control. We developed a novel UE rehabilitation paradigm (TDS-HM) that uses a Tongue Drive System (TDS) to control a robotic device (HandMentor: HM), encouraging active learning through a game-like user interface. We hypothesize TDS-HM training will improve motor performance, reduce UE impairment, and improve quality of life in stroke survivors.

Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation for Secondary Prevention After Transient Ischemic Attack or Mild Stroke: PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE AND OUTCOMES.
CONCLUSIONS: Anxiety and executive dysfunction persisted post-TIA/MNDS. Although promising for secondary prevention post-TIA/MNDS, CCR was not independently associated with psychological improvements. CCR psychological treatment may benefit depression. Subacute NYHA class and depression may later affect quality of life. PMID: 28727668 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
