Indirect causal path from motor function to quality of life through daily use of the affected arm poststroke after task-specific training: a longitudinal mediation analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced motor function after intervention may lead to an increase in arm use for daily activities and subsequently result in an improvement in QoL. These results highlight the critical role of daily arm use in task-specific training aimed at improving QoL.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONTask-specific training may improve motor function, daily arm use, activities of daily living, and quality of life in patients with mild-to-moderate arm hemiparesis.To improve quality of life in task-specific training, clinicians may work in sequence from motor function to daily arm use and then to activities of daily living.Emp...

Meeting the need for post-stroke vision care in Australia: a scoping narrative review of current practice
CONCLUSION: Further research is needed into current Australian post-stroke vision care to accurately assess whether the needs of stroke survivors are being met. Available evidence indicates that in Australia, there is a requirement for well-defined protocols for vision screening, education, management, and referral of stroke survivors.Implications for RehabilitationPost-stroke vision care in Australia is unstandardised, which may cause inequities in vision care provision to Australian stroke survivors in different regions and/or care facilities.Education and training pertaining to stroke-related vision conditions for strok...

Exploring the experience of cognitive changes among community-dwelling stroke survivors: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Post-stroke cognitive changes were described by participants as a driving force behind negative shifts in their daily lives, emotional health, and social connections after stroke. Despite seeking care for their post-stroke cognitive changes, many participants were unable to find support in mainstream healthcare. There is a demonstrated need to further elucidate the gaps in care for post-stroke cognitive deficits and implement community interventions targeting cognitive health post-stroke.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONClinicians should consider how cognitive changes post-stroke may affect daily life and the up...

Psychosocial well-being after stroke in Aotearoa New Zealand: a qualitative metasynthesis
CONCLUSION: Well-being is multi-faceted. In Aotearoa, it is inherently collective while also deeply personal. Well-being is collectively achieved through connections with self, others, community and culture, and embedded within personal and collective temporal worlds. These rich understandings of well-being can open up different considerations of how well-being is supported by and within stroke services.PMID:37198959 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2212178

From concept to practice: a scoping review of the application of AI to aphasia diagnosis and management
CONCLUSION: Considerable scope remains to align AI technology with aphasia rehabilitation to empower patient-centred, customised rehabilitation and enhanced self-management.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAphasia is an acquired communication disorder that impacts everyday functioning due to impairments in speech, auditory comprehension, reading, and writing.Given this communication burden, researchers have focused on utilising artificial intelligence (AI) methods for assessment, therapy and self-management.From a conceptualisation era in the early 1940s, the application of AI has evolved with significant developments in AI ...

Effect of a restrictive orthosis on the paralyzed hand in combination with constraint-induced movement therapy in a patient with chronic stroke: a case report
CONCLUSION: Restrictive orthosis on the paralyzed hand in combination with CIMT was found to be a beneficial rehabilitation approach.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThis case suggests that not assistive but suppressive orthosis with constraint-induced movement therapy can be effective in strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the hand and restricting compensatory movements by the extrinsic muscles in hemiplegic patients.Treating the paralyzed side with a suppressive orthosis may be an effective novel approach for improving the physical function of the paralyzed hand in post-stroke patients.PMID:37154672 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2208378

Perseverance with home-based upper limb practice after stroke: perspectives of stroke survivors and their significant others
CONCLUSION: Persevering with practice is multifaceted for stroke survivors. All facets need to be addressed in the design of strategies to enhance stroke survivors' ability to persevere and in turn, enhance their potential for continued upper limb recovery.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMany stroke survivors do not persevere with long-term home-based upper limb practice despite the belief that high dose practice will promote continued recovery.Therapists need to support stroke survivors to setup individualised goal-based home programs that they can complete independently, or with support, within their everyday life.Stroke ...

Outcomes of importance to people with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and stroke following a falls prevention intervention: a qualitative study to inform a core outcome set
Conclusions: This study presents new perspectives across patient groups regarding important outcomes upon completion of falls prevention interventions. Taken together with the findings of a literature review, this data will inform the development of a COS.Implications for rehabilitationPeople with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and stroke consider the success of a falls prevention intervention to be dependent on improvements across a wide range of outcomes.The design and implementation of falls prevention interventions should align with patient preferences.Clinicians and researchers should consider the use of mult...

Development and psychometric testing of the Self-Care of Stroke Inventory
CONCLUSIONS: The final 23-item SCSI presents good psychometric properties and can be used to explore the self-care of stroke in community settings.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThis study developed and validated the Self-Care of Stroke Inventory (SCSI).The SCSI contains the following 3 scales: the Self-care Maintenance of Stroke scale, the Self-care Monitoring of Stroke scale, and the Self-care Management of Stroke scaleThe 23-item SCSI demonstrated strong psychometric properties.The SCSI may be used to develop future programmes to promote self-care for stroke survivors and improve their rehabilitation outcomes.PMID:37078...
