Physical Activity Level Among Stroke Patients Hospitalized in a Rehabilitation Unit
The current literature contains little information about the level of physical activity of hospitalized patients who have had a stroke. Improving knowledge in the area could help optimize rehabilitation.

Assessment of Spasticity With Sonoelastography Following Stroke: A Feasibility Study
To investigate the feasibility of sonoelastography to show muscle stiffness in post-stroke spasticity, and the relationship between sonoelastography findings and muscle architecture features and clinical spasticity scores in the spastic gastrocnemius.

Submental Muscle Activity is Delayed and Shortened During Swallowing Following Stroke
To evaluate the activities of the submental muscles using surface electromyography (sEMG) in patients presenting with dysphagia secondary to middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction, and to compare the results with those in healthy volunteers.

Effects of Attentional Loadings on Gait Performance Before Turning in Stroke Survivors
Attentional loadings have significant impacts on turning performance in individuals with stroke. Improper gait modification before turning may contribute to falls after stroke. Therefore, examination of the changes in temporal-spatial gait parameters before turning may reveal important deficits in gait control when stroke survivors are challenged by dual-tasking.

Effects of Attentional Loadings on Gait Performance prior to Turning in Stroke Survivors
Attentional loadings have significant impacts on turning performance in individuals with stroke. Improper gait modification prior to turning may contribute to falls after stroke. Therefore, examination of the changes in temporal-spatial gait parameters prior to turning may reveal important deficits in gait control when stroke survivors are challenged by dual-tasking.

Prevention of Genu Recurvatum in Post Stroke Patients Using a Hinged Soft Knee Orthosis
To evaluate the effect of a hinged soft knee orthosis on the gait pattern and symmetry of chronic post-stroke patients with knee hyperextension.

Strategy Training During Inpatient Rehabilitation May Prevent Apathy Symptoms After Acute Stroke
Apathy, or lack of motivation for goal-directed activities, contributes to reduced engagement in and benefit from rehabilitation, impeding recovery from stroke.

Development and Validation of Prognostic Indices for Recovery of Physical Functioning Following Stroke: Part 2
To develop a prognostic index for achievement of modified independence (Functional Independence Measure grade VI) following completion of either comprehensive or consultative rehabilitation after stroke.

Development and Validation of Prognostic Indices for Recovery of Physical Functioning Following Stroke: Part 1
To develop a prognostic index using Functional Independence Measure grades and stages, enabling clinicians to determine the likelihood of achieving a level of minimum assistance with physical functioning following stroke. Grades define varying levels of physical function and stages define varying levels of cognitive functioning.

Use of the Berg Balance Scale to predict independent gait after stroke: A study of an inpatient population in Japan
To examine whether the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) on admission and changes in it after one month predict the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) walking level 6 or 7 (modified independent and independent gait respectively) after 3 months and to determine the optimal BBS cut-off score for predicting independent gait among inpatients with first stroke in a rehabilitation facility.

Development and Validation of Prognostic Indices for Recovery of Physical Functioning Following Stroke: Part 1
To develop a prognostic index using Functional Independence Measure grades and stages that would enable clinicians to determine the likelihood of achieving a level of minimum assistance with physical functioning after a stroke. Grades define varying levels of physical function, and stages define varying levels of cognitive functioning.

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as An Early Predictor of Poststroke Dysphagia
Despite the availability of multiple, comprehensive screening methods to detect dysphagia during acute stroke care, consensus is lacking as to the best practice. Our previous study demonstrated favorable sensitivity of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) compared with a bedside 3-sip test. However, the FIM is challenging to administer during acute stroke care. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is administered routinely in the emergency department.

Managing upper extremity clonus with intramuscular botulinum toxin-A injections in a patient post-stroke
Spasticity and clonus are common clinical signs of upper motor neuron lesions post-stroke. Intramuscular botulinum toxin-A injections have been shown to reduce spasticity and improve quality of life. Upper extremity clonus can have a significant impact upon activities of daily living and can pose challenges to comfort, self-care, hygiene, and appearance. Although less common than in ankle, it is important to understand how upper extremity clonus management may be beneficial to patients presenting with this finding.
