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...

Quiet standing postural control variables in subacute stroke: associations with gait and balance, falls prediction and responsiveness
CONCLUSIONS: Standing centre of pressure variables have limited validity to reflect dynamic balance and falls risk after stroke. Frequency and complexity measures warrant further exploration.Implications for rehabilitationOur findings indicate that quiet standing centre of pressure variables have limited validity to reflect dynamic balance tasks and predict falls after stroke.The mediolateral and higher frequency variables may be more strongly recommended than the commonly used total centre of pressure speed measure.Measures of signal frequency and complexity may provide insight into postural control mechanisms and how the...

Development of an audit checklist to evaluate treatment fidelity of a complex rehabilitation intervention
CONCLUSION: Findings highlight the importance of using a theoretically-guided approach to checklist development, with the use of rater agreement to identify areas for refinement. A documentation audit checklist was developed that can be used to evaluate treatment fidelity of complex rehabilitation interventions.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONDevelopment of an audit checklist that evaluates clinician documentation of therapy delivery, is feasible as one strategy to measure and enhance the treatment fidelity of complex rehabilitation interventions.The process of audit checklist development should be structured and based on c...

Comparison of responsiveness of the Barthel Index and modified Barthel Index in patients with stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The MBI has better responsiveness than the BI at both the group and individual levels in the patients with early subacute stroke. The MBI is recommended for clinical and research use as an outcome measure for patients with stroke.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe MBI is recommended for clinical and research applications because of its superior ability to detect subtle changes in ADL performance in patients with subacute stroke.The MBI and the BI have equal responsiveness for patients whose magnitude of improvement of ADL is substantial.PMID:35357990 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2055166

Assessment and rehabilitation of acquired communication disorders in aboriginal and Torres strait islander adults with stroke or traumatic brain injury: a retrospective chart review
CONCLUSIONS: Informal approaches to assess ACDs were commonly employed which may be because they are perceived to be more culturally appropriate. Clinical guidelines for stroke and TBI should accommodate the diversity of cultures and languages. Better consideration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communication styles and incorporation of these into SLP ACD management approaches may facilitate accurate diagnosis and culturally safe rehabilitation services.Implications for RehabilitationInformal approaches for assessment and intervention of ACDs, that incorporate yarning and salient tasks, are likely to be more cult...

Does frequent use of an exoskeletal upper limb robot improve motor function in stroke patients?
CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of HAL-SJ use may affect the improvement of motor function and ADL ability of the upper limb with exception of the fingers and wrist. However, the frequency of intervention was not effective enough to further increase the number of subjects with clinically meaningful changes in upper limb motor function.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe current study aimed to clarify how differences in the frequency of single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) use can affect the improvement of upper-limb motor functions and ADL in subacute stroke patients.Our results implied that the frequency of HAL-SJ use ma...

Comparing spatiotemporal gait parameters between overground walking and self-paced treadmill walking in persons after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: When considering gait analysis in persons after stroke a self-paced treadmill may be a valuable alternative for overground analysis. Although a slower walking velocity, and accompanying changes in other spatiotemporal parameters, should be taken into account compared to overground walking.Implications for rehabilitationConsidering the advantages regarding space and time, instrumented treadmills provide opportunities for gait assessment and training in a stroke population.When using self-paced treadmills for clinical gait analysis in persons after stroke, the slower walking velocity and accompanying changes in ...
