Efficacy of Coupling Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Physical Therapy to Reduce Upper-Limb Spasticity in Patients With Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: rTMS associated with PT can be beneficial in reducing poststroke spasticity. However, more studies are needed to clarify the clinical changes underlying the reduction in spasticity induced by noninvasive brain stimulations.

Combination Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Virtual Reality Therapy for Upper Extremity Training in Patients With Subacute Stroke
Conclusions: In the present pilot study, the combination of brain stimulation using tDCS and peripheral arm training using VR could facilitate a stronger beneficial effect on UE impairment than using each intervention alone. This combination therapy might be a helpful method to enhance recovery of the paretic UE in patients with stroke.

Effects of Intensive Whole-Body Vibration Training on Muscle Strength and Balance in Adults With Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that intensive WBV might potentially be a safe and feasible way to increase some aspect of lower limb muscle strength and postural control in adults with chronic stroke. Further studies should focus on evaluating how the training protocol should be administered to achieve the best possible outcome, as well as comparing this training protocol to other interventions.

Can a Prediction Model Combining Self-Reported Symptoms, Sociodemographic and Clinical Features Serve as a Reliable First Screening Method for Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients With Stroke?
Conclusions: The prediction model shows acceptable diagnostic accuracy for a high likelihood of SAS. Therefore, we conclude that the prediction model can serve as a reasonable first screening method in a stepped diagnostic approach to SAS in stroke rehabilitation.

Preventing Recurrent Stroke
A stroke is like a heart attack in your brain. Recognizing the signs of a stroke is very important, especially for people who have already had a stroke. Recurrent strokes are often associated with greater disability and higher death rates.

Motor Imagery Training on Muscle Strength and Gait Performance in Ambulant Stroke Subjects: A Randomized Clinical Trial
50%-65% of stroke survivors have residual motor deficits; principal among them is hemi paretic gait that limits mobility, increases the risk of falls and promoting sedentary life style. Increased strength in the lower extremity muscles has been shown to be associated with improvements in walking performance. Recently Motor Imagery training (MIT) are enhancing motor learning, neural reorganization and cortical activation in stroke patients. However, efficacy MIT involving lower extremity mobility tasks are limited in stroke rehabilitation.

The Timed 360 Turn Test for Assessing People with Chronic Stroke
To investigate (1) the intra-rater, inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the Timed 360° turn test for subjects with stroke; (2) their correlations with stroke specific impairment; and (3) the cutoff times that best discriminate individuals with stroke from healthy elderly subjects.

Timed 360° Turn Test for Assessing People With Chronic Stroke
To investigate (1) the intrarater, interrater, and test-retest reliability of the timed 360° turn test in subjects with stroke; (2) the concurrent validity of the timed 360° turn test by exploring its correlation with other measures of stroke-specific impairments; and (3) the cutoff times that best discriminate individuals with stroke from healthy older adults.

Foot Pressure Symmetry Training as a Prognostic Factor For Postural Stability in Stroke Patients
Balance and symmetry of weight bearing is diminished in patients with hemiplegia. In patients with stroke, visual reliance increases rather than somatosensory. Training of weight-bearing symmetry has been a major focus in balance rehabilitation after stroke. The present study is designed to elucidate the role of foot pressure symmetry training using force plate biofeedback in MCA stroke patients.
