Returning to School after Pediatric Stroke
Returning to school after a pediatric stroke can be overwhelming. Brain injury of any kind can have an impact on learning and daily life. Research shows that many students who have had a brain injury benefit from monitoring of academic progress and accommodations in school (1). Your student may need a new school plan after their stroke to help them be successful.

Predictors of caregiver burden in caregivers of individuals with traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: The results highlight which caregivers are at risk of caregiver burden and point to several areas of potential intervention to prevent caregiver burden. Future research should explore the relationship between characteristics of the caregiver and caregiver burden, including coping style, problem solving techniques, and personality, as these have been sparsely investigated and are potentially modifiable trough intervention. Further research is needed to elucidate if burden can be prevented by interventions targeting caregivers at risk. Addressing these gaps may clarify the link between caregiver burden and predic...

African Americans and Women Have Lower Functional Gains During Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation After Hemorrhagic Stroke
Conclusions The results of our study indicate that Functional Independence Measure efficiency was worse for African Americans and female patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Future research should consider these racial and sex disparities and focus on providing targeted rehabilitation therapy.

Cognitive impairment predicts engagement in inpatient stroke rehabilitation
Patient engagement during inpatient rehabilitation is an important component of rehabilitation therapy, as lower levels of engagement are associated with poorer outcomes. Cognitive deficits may impact patient engagement during inpatient stroke rehabilitation. Here, we assess whether patient performance on the cognitive tasks of the 30-min National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke – Canadian Stroke Network (NINDS-CSN) screening battery predicts engagement in inpatient stroke rehabilitation. Prospective data from 110 participants completing inpatient stroke rehabilitation at an academic medical center were util...

Discharge Rehabilitation Measures Predict Activity Limitations in Patients With Stroke 6 Months After Inpatient Rehabilitation
Conclusions Standardized rehabilitation measures at inpatient stroke rehabilitation discharge can predict future activity limitations, which may improve prediction of outcome post-stroke and aid in postdischarge treatment planning.

Young individuals with stroke in rehabilitation: a cohort study
Stroke in younger populations is a public health crisis and the prevalence is rising. Little is known about the progress of younger individuals with stroke in rehabilitation. Characterization of the course and speed of recovery is needed so that rehabilitation professionals can set goals and make decisions. This was a cohort study with data extracted from electronic medical records. Participants were 408 individuals diagnosed with stroke who participated in inpatient rehabilitation in an urban, academic medical center in the USA. The main predictor was age which was categorized as (18–44, 45–64, 65–74 and 75+). Outco...

How We Assess Spatial Neglect Matters: Prevalence of Spatial Neglect as Measured by the Catherine Bergego Scale and Impact on Rehabilitation Outcomes
Conclusions Using a sensitive measure, the CBS, rates of spatial neglect are extremely high in right hemisphere stroke patients entering inpatient rehabilitation. Both identification and determination of neglect severity are extremely important given their significant relationship to rehabilitation outcomes and discharge destinations.

How do healthcare professionals experience communication with people with aphasia and what content should communication partner training entail?
CONCLUSIONS: According to HCP, communication difficulties challenge the provision of healthcare activities and lead to negative feelings in HCP. HCP suggest that communication can be improved by providing more time in the healthcare pathway of people with aphasia, adapting healthcare information to the needs of people with aphasia, commitment of physicians and managers, changing the roles of SLTs and improving knowledge and skills of HCP. Implications for rehabilitation Communication between healthcare professionals (HCP) and people with aphasia can be improved by training HCP to use supportive conversation techniques and ...

Stroke rehabilitation research translation in Australia: a survey of clinical trialists.
This study aims to investigate perceptions of Australian stroke clinical trialists' about implementation of their findings into practice, and what translation activities they embedded into trial protocols. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A descriptive cohort design and electronic survey was conducted. Three databases were searched to identify Australian stroke rehabilitation trials published between 2007 and 2017. Corresponding authors of the included trials were invited to complete an anonymous online survey about implementation of their trial intervention. RESULTS: Fifty-one trialists were invited to participate and 38 c...

Gait Velocity and Joint Power Generation After Stroke: Contribution of Strength and Balance
Conclusions Ankle plantar flexor and hip flexor strength had the largest contribution to gait velocity. Future research may wish to refocus strength assessment and treatment to target the ankle plantar flexors and hip flexors. To Claim CME Credits Complete the self-assessment activity and evaluation online at http://www.physiatry.org/JournalCME CME Objectives Upon completion of this article, the reader should be able to: (1) Differentiate the contribution that lower limb strength of each muscle group has on gait velocity after stroke; (2) Appraise the relationship between isometric strength and joint power generati...

Impact of visuospatial neglect post-stroke on daily activities, participation and informal caregiver burden: a systematic review
Conclusions and implications. VSN has a negative impact not only on patients’ independence but particularly on the performance of ADL. Despite the far fewer studies of VSN as compared with ADL, VSN also seems to hamper participation and increase caregiver burden, but further research is needed. Because of the large impact, VSN during rehabilitation should be systematically and carefully assessed. A considerable number of different instruments were used to diagnose VSN. Diagnosing VSN at more than one level (function [i.e., pen-and-paper test], activities, and participation) is strongly recommended. Consensus is needed on...
