Falls and fear of falling after stroke: a case-control study - Goh HT, Nadarajah M, Hamzah NB, Varadan P, Tan MP.
BACKGROUND: Falls are common after stroke with potentially serious consequences. Few investigations have included age-matched controls to directly compare fall characteristics between older adults with and without stroke. Further, fear of falling, a signif...

Ischemic stroke in confederation with trivial head trauma - Balachandran A, Kalyanshettar S, Patil S, Shegji V.
Minor head injuries in children are common, resulting in brain concussion, and these injuries mostly end up without complications. Usually head trauma results in hemorrhagic stroke. Here we present a case of ischemic stroke following a trivial head trauma....

Characteristics of daily life gait in fall and non fall-prone stroke survivors and controls - Punt M, Bruijn SM, van Schooten KS, Pijnappels M, van de Port IG, Wittink H, van Dieen JH.
BACKGROUND: Falls in stroke survivors can lead to serious injuries and medical costs. Fall risk in older adults can be predicted based on gait characteristics measured in daily life. Given the different gait patterns that stroke survivors exhibit it is unc...

Heat stroke admissions during heat waves in 1,916 US counties for the period from 1999 to 2010 and their effect modifiers - Wang Y, Bobb JF, Papi B, Wang Y, Kosheleva A, Di Q, Schwartz JD, Dominici F.
BACKGROUND: Heat stroke is a serious heat-related illness, especially among older adults. However, little is known regarding the spatiotemporal variation of heat stroke admissions during heat waves and what factors modify the adverse effects. METH...

Prediction of intrinsically caused tripping events in individuals with stroke - Zhang F, Bohlen P, Lewek MD, Huang H.
This study investigated the feasibility of predicting intrinsically caused trips (ICTs) in individuals with stroke. Gait kinematics collected from twelve individuals with chronic stroke, who demonstrated ICTs in treadmill walking, were analyzed. A predicti...

Primary and secondary gait deviations of stroke survivors and their association with gait performance - Kim HS, Chung SC, Choi MH, Gim SY, Kim WR, Tack GR, Lim DW, Chun SK, Kim JW, Mun KR.
[Purpose] Stroke survivors exhibit abnormal pelvic motion and significantly deteriorated gait performance. Although the gait of stroke survivors has been evaluated at the primary level pertaining to ankle, knee, and hip motions, secondary deviations involv...

The role of the environment in falls among stroke survivors - Wing JJ, Burke JF, Clarke PJ, Feng C, Skolarus LE.
BACKGROUND: Stroke survivors' risk of falls may be particularly sensitive to the environment due to deficits such as visuospatial neglect or homonymous hemianopia. We sought to identify the prevalence of falls among stroke survivors and investigate the pos...

Effect of visuospatial neglect on spatial navigation and heading after stroke - Aravind G, Lamontagne A.
BACKGROUND: Visuospatial neglect (VSN) impairs the control of locomotor heading in post-stroke individuals, which may affect their ability to safely avoid moving objects while walking. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare VSN+ and VSN- stroke individuals...

Dancing to death: a case of heat stroke - Nadesan K, Kumari C, Afiq M.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency which may lead to mortality unless diagnosed early and treated effectively. Heat stroke may manifest rapidly, hence making it difficult to differentiate it from other clinical causes in a collapsed victim.(1) We are prese...
