Current practice of outpatient rehabilitation services in patients with mobility-impaired paralysis due to stroke or spinal cord injury: a qualitative interview study in Germany
CONCLUSION: Areas of improvement identified focused on: setting rehabilitation goals towards participation, training therapists on evidence-based treatments and shared decision-making, updating the outpatient service catalogue, and implementing coordination actions. Implementation of these recommendations should be evaluated.PMID:37732606 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2259301

Transport use limitations and its association with social participation among patients with stroke living in rural India
CONCLUSIONS: Independent use of different modes of transport, particularly public transportation, reduced among rural Indian stroke survivors. These transport limitations are significantly associated with reduced social participation, highlighting the need for interventions to improve accessibility and fostering greater community engagement for stroke survivors in this population.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONLimited transportation access limits social participation for stroke survivors in rural India.Study results show a significant decrease in independent transport use among stroke survivors, affecting their social part...

Standardized circuit class group training versus individualized goal-directed group training to improve upper limb function in stroke survivors during in-patient rehabilitation: a pragmatic trial
CONCLUSIONS: A standardized training could reduce the mental workload for therapists, but patients seemed less engaged. A combination of both might be most beneficial.Trial registration: Dutch Trial Register: NL8844 and NL9471IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONProviding a standardized training program after stroke reduces therapists' mental workload.Individualized goal-directed group training results in the best achievement of rehabilitation goals.A combination of standardized and individual training would use best of both intervention modalities.Patients should be involved in the co-creation developing process of training pro...

Carer-supported home-based exercises designed to target physical activity levels and functional mobility after stroke: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: There was large variation in the volume and content of training provided to carers. Physical activity levels were infrequently objectively reported. Future studies should include greater details on their protocols to allow for replication and implementation into clinical practice.PMID:37698010 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2256663

Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Ottawa Sitting Scale in patients with acute stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicated that the OSS-T has strong measurement properties, making it a valid and reliable tool for research and clinical practice in patients with acute stroke.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONIndependent sitting function is an important indicator of functional recovery and discharge from hospital.Unlike other sitting balance tools, the Ottawa Sitting Scale can even categorize patients with low balance reserve by applying all the items with and without foot support.The Turkish version of the Ottawa Sitting Scale is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate sitting balance in patients with ...

Challenges in applying evidence-based practice in stroke rehabilitation: a qualitative description of health professional experience in low, middle, and high-income countries
Conclusion: A global approach is needed to share knowledge about EBP, especially scientific evidence and innovative thinking about its application to clinical practice. Implications for rehabilitationRehabilitation professional groups should contribute to a global network to improve informal knowledge sharing and training around evidence-based practice.Support for training in evidence-based practice and its application needs to be developed and accessible in all countries, including low and middle-income countries.It is imperative that policymakers prioritise practical, evidence-based solutions for rehabilitation research ...

Sensory hypersensitivity after acquired brain injury: the patient perspective
CONCLUSIONS: Sensory hypersensitivity can have a major impact on patients' physical well-being, return to work and (social) participation after ABI. Characteristics of sensory hypersensitivity vary between patients with ABI. To develop treatments for sensory hypersensitivity, future studies should focus on cognitive (e.g., filtering information) and psychological factors (e.g., coping) in relation to sensory hypersensitivity.PMID:37649314 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2251401

Are age-predicted equations valid in predicting maximum heart rate in individuals after stroke?
CONCLUSIONS: The equations developed for non-disabled individuals (1-4) are not adequate to be used in individuals after a stroke. Equation (6) (Brawner) showed the best results to be used in individuals after stroke; however, it should be used cautiously.PMID:37606274 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2247981
