Similarities and differences in perception of disability between patients after a stroke and general practitioners, a pilot study
Discussion GP have a good perception of the troubles of their patients, except for the romantic and sexual relationships, as well as group hobby. This involves coordination between PRM and GP in order to improve the assessment of PR and the environment of post-stroke patients.

Proprioceptive illusion induced by tendon vibration on the upper limb in stroke patients
Conclusion TVR and usual movement illusion under tendon vibration are affected on the hemiplegic side after stroke. Any relationship or not on the observed deficiencies require confirmation with a larger sample.

Beyond stroke: Impact of the lesion side on the recovery of between-hands coordination
Discussion Because the RHD patients were less prematurely coordinated again during bimanual movements than the LHD patients, they may benefit differently from a bimanual rehabilitation, and especially from the simultaneous involvement of the ipsilesional UL. It becomes necessary to investigate to what extent this difference due to lesion side may be integrated into the design of rehabilitation protocols.

Hemiplegia and taking anabolic
We report the case of a young sportsman practicing bodybuilding as a recreation, 35 years old, without particular pathological history and having absorbed anabolic steroids for doping reasons: oxymetholone and methandrostenolone 1 tablet/D for 40 days before his stroke. Observation The clinical symptoms began to the awakening with the onset of functional impairment of the left side having recovered in 30minutes followed by a left total hemiplegia with facial central ipsilateral paralysis and swallowing disorders. CT at the same evening objectified a hypodensity in the territory of the right sylvian artery, which became he...

Screening of changes in refractometry after stroke: A retrospective cohort study case control
Discussion There are few available data on refractometry disorders prevalence after stroke, some authors report around 20 to 25% [1]. Despite non-significant results, and because of the important refractometer disorders in stroke patients, expressing few visual impairment, this study suggests the interest of a refractometer PlusoptiX® testing to improve their rehabilitation and quality of life [2].

Effect of tendon vibration on upper limb motor recovery with subacute hemiplegia after a stroke: A case report
We report the effect of tendon vibrations of the elbow and wrist flexor muscles on recovery of the upper limb in a recent hemiplegic patient. Observation A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our department for right hemiplegia and aphasia after a left middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke and a left cerebellar infarct secondary to cardiac arrhythmia. Initial NIHSS 22/44. Motor function on upper limb was limited to slight abduction and elevation of the shoulder, slight flexion of the wrist and elbow. The initial Functional Independence Measure score was 38/126. Intensive classical reeducation was started with little progress ...

Low cost objective diagnosis of learned non-use of the paretic arm after a stroke using Kinect technology
Discussion This LNU score measured by Kinect was similar to that measured by Zebris, so we consider Kinect to be accurate enough to measure maladaptive trunk compensation. This LNU score could also be implemented in Kinect video games stroke neurorehabilitation. In the near future, patients could benefit from using low cost Kinect system in their own homes for rehabilitation and to assess their progress.

Feasibility of a self-rehabilitation program for the upper limb for stroke patients in Benin
Discussion and conclusion Self-rehabilitation programs are feasible and inexpensive as they do not involve a therapist. It is then a promising approach in stroke rehabilitation, particularly in developing countries, where rehabilitation costs are usually supported by patients.

Hemi-spatial neglect rehabilitation using non-invasive brain stimulation: Or how to modulate the disconnection syndrome?
Publication date: Available online 21 August 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): S. Jacquin-Courtois Hemi-spatial neglect syndrome is common and sometimes long-lasting. It is characterized by a deficit in the use and awareness of one side of space, most often consecutive to a right hemisphere injury, mainly in the parietal region. Acknowledging the different types and all clinical characteristics is essential for an appropriate evaluation and adapted rehabilitation care management, especially as it constitutes a predictive factor of a poor functional prognosis. Some new approaches have ...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation in motor rehabilitation after stroke: An update
Publication date: Available online 10 August 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): W. Klomjai, A. Lackmy-Vallée, N. Roche, P. Pradat-Diehl, V. Marchand-Pauvert, R. Katz Stroke is a leading cause of adult motor disability. The number of stroke survivors is increasing in industrialized countries, and despite available treatments used in rehabilitation, the recovery of motor functions after stroke is often incomplete. Studies in the 1980s showed that non-invasive brain stimulation (mainly repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS] and transcranial direct current stimulation [t...

Botulinum toxin A for treating spasticity in adults: Costly for French hospitals?
Conclusion The daily cost of BoNTA treatment for spasticity is reasonable; however, because of the level of reimbursement by the national health insurance in France, the treatment is costly for French hospitals.

Determinants of sit-to-stand tasks in individuals with hemiparesis post stroke: A review
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): Amira Boukadida , France Piotte , Patrick Dehail , Sylvie Nadeau Background and purpose The ability to rise from a chair to reach a standing position is impaired after stroke. This paper aims to review for the first time the factors that impact the ability to rise from a chair and identify recommendations for post-stroke rehabilitation. Methods In order to analyse relevant scientific publications (French and English), the search terms “stroke”, “rehabilitation” and “sit-to-stand” (STS and its varia...

Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) in paralysis
Publication date: Available online 8 January 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): U. Chaudhary , N. Birbaumer , M.R. Curado Introduction Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) use brain activity to control external devices, facilitating paralyzed patients to interact with the environment. In this review, we focus on the current advances of non-invasive BMIs for communication in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and for restoration of motor impairment after severe stroke. BMI for ALS patients BMI represents a promising strategy to establish communication with paralyzed ALS patien...
