Stroke management: Informal caregivers’ burdens and strians of caring for stroke survivors
Conclusion and recommendation Caring for stroke survivors put social, emotional, health and financial burdens and strains on the informal caregivers. These burdens and strains increase with duration of stroke, intimacy, smaller number of caregivers and length of daily caregiving. Therefore, informal caregivers should be involved in the rehabilitation plan for stroke patients and their well-being should also be given adequate attention.

Brain computer interfaces for neurorehabilitation – its current status as a rehabilitation strategy post-stroke
Publication date: Available online 7 January 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): L.E.H. van Dokkum , T. Ward , I. Laffont The idea of using brain computer interfaces (BCI) for rehabilitation emerged relatively recently. Basically, BCI for neurorehabilitation involves the recording and decoding of local brain signals generated by the patient, as he/her tries to perform a particular task (even if imperfect), or during a mental imagery task. The main objective is to promote the recruitment of selected brain areas involved and to facilitate neural plasticity. The recorded signal can be used ...

Long-term sensorimotor and therapeutical effects of a mild regime of prism adaptation in spatial neglect. A double-blind RCT essay
This study is aimed at exploring the long-term sensory-motor, cognitive and functional effects produced by weekly PA sessions over a period of four weeks. A double-blind, monocentric randomized and controlled trial (RCT) was carried out. Twenty patients with left NS secondary to a stroke were included, 10 in the “prism” group and 10 in the “control” group. The sensory-motor effects of PA were evaluated by measurement of manual and visual straight-ahead, and also by precision of pointing without visual feedback before and after each PA session. The functional independence measure (FIM) was evaluated before and at 1,...

Does galvanic vestibular stimulation reduce spatial neglect? A negative study
Conclusion Galvanic vestibular stimulation did not reduce spatial neglect symptoms in any of the stimulation conditions. Further studies are necessary to understand the disparity between our results and those reported in the literature. Repeated sessions, a higher current intensity and/or alternating-current stimulation may improve this method before it can be used clinically.

Lack of repercussions of sleep apnea syndrome on recovery and attention disorders at the subacute stage after stroke: A study of 45 patients
This study did not demonstrate the supposed repercussions of SAS on the recovery or attentional abilities of post-stroke patients. The tests were maybe given too early; they should take place at a lengthier time interval after the stroke, and also to be more complete.

Monoaminergic drugs for motor recovery after ischemic stroke
Publication date: Available online 24 September 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): F. Chollet , J. Tardy , J.-F. Albucher , N. Raposo , B. Acket , V. Sattler , J. Pariente , I. Loubinoux Today, administering rTPA thrombolytic therapy within the first hours of a stroke is the only validated drug therapy for improving the spontaneous – and most of the time incomplete – recovery of neurological functions post-stroke. However in the past decade, thanks in part to the considerable advances of neuroimaging techniques, we have learned that spontaneous recovery of neurological functions w...

Stem cells and motor recovery after stroke
Publication date: Available online 28 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): I. Loubinoux , B. Demain , C. Davoust , B. Plas , L. Vaysse In stroke patients with severe persistent neurological deficits, alternative therapeutic modalities are limited. Stem cell therapy might be an opportunity when the safety profile of this approach will be achieved. This review will give possible mechanisms of restoration of function in animals and a statement of clinical trials in humans. The sources of neural stem cells for therapeutic use will be detailed. Potentials mechanisms of transplanted cell...

An update on predicting motor recovery after stroke
Publication date: Available online 27 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): C.M. Stinear , W.D. Byblow , S.H. Ward Being able to predict an individual's potential for recovery of motor function after stroke may facilitate the use of more effective targeted rehabilitation strategies, and management of patient expectations and goals. This review summarises developments since 2010 of approaches based on clinical, neurophysiological and neuroimaging measures for predicting individual patients’ potential for upper limb recovery. Clinical assessments alone have low prognostic accuracy. ...

Innovative technologies applied to sensorimotor rehabilitation after stroke
Publication date: Available online 26 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): I. Laffont , K. Bakhti , F. Coroian , L. van Dokkum , D. Mottet , N. Schweighofer , J. Froger Innovative technologies for sensorimotor rehabilitation after stroke have dramatically increased these past 20 years. Based on a review of the literature on “Medline” and “Web of Science” between 1990 and 2013, we offer an overview of available tools and their current level of validation. Neuromuscular electric stimulation and/or functional electric stimulation are widely used and highly suspected of being ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) and motor recovery after stroke
Publication date: Available online 23 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): M. Simonetta-Moreau Recovery of motor function after stroke occurs largely on the basis of a sustained capacity of the adult brain for plastic changes. This brain plasticity has been validated by functional imaging and electrophysiological studies. Various concepts of how to enhance beneficial plasticity and in turn improve functional recovery are emerging based on the concept of functional interhemispheric balance between the two motor cortices. Besides conventional rehabilitation interventions and the most...

Interlimb neural coupling: Implications for poststroke hemiparesis
Publication date: Available online 27 June 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): K.N. Arya , S. Pandian Interlimb coordination is essential to perform goal-directed daily tasks and purposeful locomotion. The coordination occurs due to spatiotemporal coupling of movements, which also comprises interactions in segmental kinematics, joint dynamics, and muscle activity. Neuroanatomical and neurophysiological linkages at the spinal and brain level are responsible for the coordination. The linkage is termed “neural coupling”. According to the task demand, the coupling may occur between two u...
