Effects of neurorehabilitation with and without dry needling technique on muscle thickness, reflex torque, spasticity and functional performance in chronic ischemic stroke patients with spastic upper extremity muscles: a blinded randomized sham-controlled clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: Dry needling plus neurorehabilitation could decrease muscle thickness, spasticity and reflex torque and improve upper-extremity motor performance and dexterity in chronic stroke patients. These changes were lasted one-month after treatment.Trial Registration Number: IRCT20200904048609N1IMPLICATION FOR REHABILITATIONUpper extremity spasticity is one of the stroke consequences which interfere with motor function and dexterity of patient hand in activity of daily livingApplying the dry needling accompanied with neurorehabilitation program in post-stroke patients with muscle spasticity can reduce the muscle thickn...

Subacute stroke: < em > new-onset poststroke < /em > bladder and bowel dysfunctions and possible associated factors
CONCLUSIONS: Poststroke bladder and bowel dysfunctions are highly prevalent. Being aware of their epidemiology helps draw attention to patients at higher risk of developing these dysfunctions, enhancing the rehabilitation process.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPoststroke bladder and bowel dysfunctions are highly prevalent and under-recognised consequences of stroke.Being aware of their epidemiology and associated factors may help identify patients at higher risk of developing these dysfunctions.It is necessary to raise clinical awareness to ensure a more efficient diagnostic and therapeutic approach, enhancing patients' re...

An evaluation of an open group for depressed mood on a stroke rehabilitation ward: three years of clinical data
CONCLUSIONS: Design limitations prevented inferences of clinical effectiveness, but the group met several clinical utility criteria by providing a flexible intervention on a rehabilitation ward with competing demands. We highlight the importance of contrasting findings of clinical trials with data from clinical services.PMID:36916395 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2186498

Training for walking through an opening improves collision avoidance behavior in subacute patients with stroke: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: T-WTO improved efficiency and safety in managing subacute stroke patients. Such training could improve patient outcomes/safety because of the paretic body side during walking.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NO.: R000038375 UMIN000033926.PMID:36815267 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2181412

Patient- and proxy-perceptions on functioning after stroke rehabilitation using the 12-item WHODAS 2.0: a longitudinal cohort study
CONCLUSION: WHODAS showed improvements in SSs' functioning 9-50 months after discharge from subacute stroke rehabilitation. Improvements were in line with proxy-perception and self-reported functional recovery.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONStroke survivors' functioning improved significantly during the 9-50 months follow-up after subacute inpatient stroke rehabilitation.Stroke survivors perceived slightly less difficulties in their functioning compared to evaluations by proxies.Strong correlation between patient- and proxy-perceptions on stroke survivors' functioning strengthened from subacute to chronic phase of stroke r...

Factors guiding therapist decision making in the rehabilitation of physical function after severely disabling stroke - an ethnographic study
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple factors guided therapist decision making after severely disabling stroke. Alternative ways of therapist working should be considered to address the physical needs of severely disabled stroke survivors more fully.Implications for rehabilitationMultiple factors guide therapist decision making after severely disabling stroke, some of which result in the use of interventions that do not fully address stroke survivors' clinical needs.Therapists should critically reflect upon their personal beliefs and attitudes about severely disabling stroke to reduce potential sources of bias on decision making.Therapist...
