Relationships between overall physical activity and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in developing countries: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: There is a strong relationship between overall PA and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in Benin. Step counts appear to be an indicator of PA levels in developing countries, suggesting walking as a potential exercise to improve PA levels in stroke survivors.Implications for RehabilitationStep counts could serve as an indicator of physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.Walking may be suggested as exercise to improve physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.In Africa French speaking countries, the IPAQ-AF could be used to assess physic...

Real-time auditory feedback may reduce abnormal movements in patients with chronic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with chronic stroke can make use of real-time auditory feedback to increase the proportion of time they spend in optimal movement patterns. The approach provides a motivating framework that encourages high dose with a key focus on quality of movement. Trial Registration: ISRCTN12969079 https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN12969079 ISRTCN trial registration REF: ISRCTN12969079IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMovement quality during upper limb rehabilitation should be targeted as part of a well-balanced rehabilitation programme.Auditory feedback is a useful tool to help patients with chronic stroke reduce compens...

Does dual task merged in a mixed physical exercise protocol impact the mobility under dual task conditions in mild impaired stroke survivors? A feasibility, safety, randomized, and controlled pilot trial
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that mixed physical exercise under DT is feasible and safe for mild-impaired stroke survivors. Stroke survivors demonstrate more significant improvement in the mobility performance under DT when submitted to a DT mixed physical exercise protocol than the standard physical exercise intervention.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Brazilian clinical trials registry (RBR-4mvzz6); WHO trial record (U1111-1198-7173)IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONDT training can be prescribed by using clear and precise parameters for stroke survivors.Physical Exercise without DT requirements did not improve mobility performing a...

Investigation of walking tasks experienced by community-living individuals with chronic stroke using a validated community ambulation survey
CONCLUSIONS: These findings identify the walking tasks that people with chronic stroke show less participation in community, which should be involved in routine rehabilitation schedules to restore functional walking in the community.Implications for rehabilitationCommunity ambulation survey is appropriate to identify the challenging walking tasks that people with chronic stroke show less participation in community.People with chronic stroke showed less frequent participation in walking tasks such as using stairs, using crossways, carrying objects, and walking fast and long distances, which are challenging for them.To achie...

Impact of community-based rehabilitation on the physical functioning and activity of daily living of stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: CBR is revealed to be effective in improving the physical functioning and ADL for PWS and is drawn based on eligible studies which were conducted in high-income countries (HICs). This highlights a gap between developed and less-resourced countries as far as CBR for PWS is concerned and calls for a further study. Protocol Registration: CRD42020159683Implication for rehabilitationCommunity-based rehabilitation (CBR) is recommended as one of the best programme for treating stroke patients with stroke (PWS) after they are discharged from hospitals.CBR is effective in improving the physical functioning and activity...

Exploring oral care practices, barriers, and facilitators in an inpatient stroke unit: a thematic analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This study illustrates the complexities of oral care in the inpatient stroke setting and gives voice to the perspectives of nursing and speech-language pathology staff. It is clear that future oral health interventions in this setting require a comprehensive approach to addressing barriers and should prioritise the concerns of staff delivering the care.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe delivery of good oral care post-stroke is essential, but in practice is difficult due to limited time and supplies, inadequate education, fear of harm to patient and self, and perceived low priority of the care.Speech-language ...

Cut-off score of the modified Ashworth scale corresponding to walking ability and functional mobility in individuals with chronic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that moderate level of plantar flexors spasticity results in the highest sensitivity to predict poor gait speed performance and the highest specificity to predict good mobility performance in individuals after stroke. These findings will help clinicians in their evidence-based decision making on the role of spasticity for mobility and walking ability.Implications for rehabilitationModerate level of spasticity (MAS <2) is the optimal cut-off score for 10mWT and TUG tests.Reducing the level of spasticity of plantar flexors below this cut-off point might be associated with an increased walk...
