Effects of the home-based exercise program with an augmented reality system on balance in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the HEP with the AR system might be effective to improve balance in patients with stroke. However, more careful precautions for the HEP using the AR system are also required. Implications for rehabilitationBalance was modestly improved in both home-based exercise programs, slightly more in AR home exercise group.AR home-based program was significantly better in reducing fear of falling compared to the control group.No falls were recorded, however, safety for patients with arterial dissection needs to be carefully considered due to the possibility of adverse effects.PMID:3...

Development of the < em > "Kalmer" < /em > relaxation intervention: co-design with stroke survivors with aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, a co-designed accessible relaxation product was viewed as a necessary component of usual stroke care. Acceptability and feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the "Kalmer" intervention should be trialled in future studies. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONCo-designing psychological interventions for people with aphasia after stroke is needed to meet the needs of this at-risk population.Technology-based relaxation interventions to manage anxiety after stroke are viewed positively by people with aphasia and deemed acceptable and feasible.Clinical trials of these co-designed relaxation interventions are r...

Task selection for a sensor-based, wearable, upper limb training device for stroke survivors: a multi-stage approach
CONCLUSIONS: Using a task categorization matrix, a set of training tasks was systematically identified. There was strong agreement between data from the professionals, survivors and literature. The matrix populated by tasks has potential for wider use in upper-limb stroke rehabilitation. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONRehabilitation technologies that provide feedback on quantity and quality of movements can support independent home-based upper limb rehabilitation.Rehabilitation technology systems require a library of upper limb tasks at different levels for people with stroke and therapists to choose from.A user-defined an...

Psychosocial interventions for building resilience of informal carers of people living with stroke: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Interventions comprising of information provision, problem-solving skills and psychoeducation appear to be beneficial to improve resilience of carers. However, because of the heterogeneity of the interventions and outcome measures reported across the twelve studies no particular intervention could be definitively supported.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Systematic review registration: CRD 42020172824 https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42020172824 IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONProviding care for stroke survivors is particularly demanding due to the lack of preparation for managing the un...

Water-based therapeutic exercise in stroke: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review highlights common parameters of WBTE interventions and provides an inventory of the differences in the treatment approaches utilized in this population. Opportunities for future work include the development of a standardized treatment protocol, qualitative or mixed methodology research, and greater inclusion of more individuals with more severe stroke-related impairments. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONWater-based therapeutic exercise is an approach that may allow stroke survivors to carry out challenging activities in a safe and accessible environment.Water-based interventions for stroke s...
