Biomarkers of Motor Outcomes After Stroke
Predicting motor outcomes after stroke based on clinical judgment alone is often inaccurate and can lead to inefficient and inequitable allocation of rehabilitation resources. Prediction tools are being developed so that clinicians can make evidence-based, accurate, and reproducible prognoses for individual patients. Biomarkers of corticospinal tract structure and function can improve prediction tool performance, particularly for patients with initially moderate to severe motor impairment. Being able to make accurate predictions for individual patients supports rehabilitation planning and communication with patients and families.

'Patient unable to express why he was on the floor, he has aphasia.' A content thematic analysis of medical records and incident reports on the falls of hospital patients with communication disability following stroke
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The medical records and incident reports of patients with communication disability following stroke reveal that hospital staff recognize the impact of communication disability as potential risk factors for falls for this group. It was difficult for staff to report the circumstances of the fall for patients with severe communication disability. Despite the recognition of communication as a potential contributing factor, few medical record entries documented strategies related to communication interventions to improve patients' ability to understand instructions, gain attention or communicate basi...

Prospective Association of Daily Steps With Cardiovascular Disease: A Harmonized Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: For older adults, taking more daily steps was associated with a progressively decreased risk of CVD. Monitoring and promoting steps per day is a simple metric for clinician-patient communication and population health to reduce the risk of CVD.PMID:36537288 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.061288

Exploring patient perspectives of barriers and facilitators to participating in hospital-based stroke rehabilitation.
DISCUSSION: Personalized rehabilitation can be considered in comparison to person-centred care principles. The barriers and enablers experienced by patients in this study contribute to the existing knowledge of the patient experience of stroke rehabilitation and may be used to inform clinical practices and future research. Implications for Rehabilitation The surrounding environments can facilitate participation in rehabilitation using strategies to reduce noise and disruption and also by encouraging social interactions among patients. Increasing the frequency and consistency of communication with patients about rehabilitat...

Creating therapeutic relationships through communication: a qualitative metasynthesis from the perspectives of people with communication impairment after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: A therapeutic relationship develops, at least in part, in response to the clinician's communication and how this is received and experienced by the patient. Understanding the characteristics of relationship-fostering communication and knowing how communication influences relationships can help clinicians critically reflect on their communication and better develop therapeutic relationships with people with communication impairment. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Practitioner-patient communication can facilitate therapeutic relationships or create therapeutic disconnections. Communication patterns that are com...

Stressing out about the Heart: A Narrative Review of the Role of Psychological Stress in Acute Cardiovascular Events.
CONCLUSION: Psychological stress is often present in patients undergoing evaluation for acute CVD events. Understanding such associations provides a foundation to appreciate the potential contribution of psychological variables on acute and long-term cardiovascular recovery, while also stimulating future areas of research and discovery.

Number needed to treat: A primer for neurointerventionalists.
CONCLUSIONS: In comparison with available stroke therapies, mechanical thrombectomy stands out as the most effective acute intervention in patients with emergent large-vessel occlusions. Understanding how the number needed to treat is derived and its implications helps provide perspective to clinical trial data, identify health-care resource priorities, and improve communication with patients, health-care providers, and additional key stakeholders.

From paper to informatics: the Post Soft Care-App, an easy-to-use and fast tool to help therapists identify unmet needs in stroke patients.
Authors: De Bartolo D, Morone G, Lupo A, Aloise F, Baricich A, Di Francesco D, Calderone C, Cisari C, Verdecchia G, Sandrini G, Pistarini C, Antonucci G, Smania N, Paolucci S, Iosa M Abstract Even after rehabilitation, post stroke patients remain disabled. The Post Stroke Checklist (PSC) was developed to highlight unmet needs of community-dwelling stroke patients. The present study set out to validate Post Soft Care-App, designed to administer the PSC using smartphones and tablets, in order to monitor unmet needs in chronic patients. Fifty-three patients and fifteen physiotherapists were enrolled. The therapists ad...
