Onset, time course and prediction of spasticity after stroke or traumatic brain injury
ConclusionSigns of spasticity can often be noted within the first 4 weeks after brain injury and is more common in the upper than lower extremity. Impaired sensorimotor function is a predictor. These findings highlight the importance to follow up patients with increased risk of developing severe spasticity to be able to start adequate spasticity treatment and prevent the negative consequences of spasticity. Understanding spasticity onset and progression also provides a basis for the development of effective therapies.

Validation of French upper limb Erasmus modified Nottingham Sensory Assessment in stroke
ConclusionsThe French EmNSA is a valid and reproducible scale that can be used for comprehensive and accurate assessment of somatosensory modalities in adults post-stroke. Taking less than 30 min to administer, the instrument has clinical utility for use in patients with cognitive comorbidities and at various stages of recovery in multidisciplinary clinical practice and research settings.

Decrease in post-stroke spasticity and shoulder pain prevalence over the last 15 years
ConclusionsDisabling spasticity and shoulder pain frequency in recent post-stroke patients decreased over the last 15 years, and functional abilities both at admission and discharge improved. Confirmation of these results in a multicentric study may be important evidence of an improvement in stroke healthcare both in stroke and physical and rehabilitation medicine units in the last 10 years in France and could affect future estimations of the need for rehabilitation care after stroke.

Predicting the oxygen cost of walking in hemiparetic stroke patients
ConclusionCwfree was strongly correlated with Sfree, which allowed for the development of a valid Cwfree prediction model. A practitioner could estimate the energy expenditure of walking for a patient without using an indirect calorimeter.

Influence of non-contextual auditory stimuli on navigation in a virtual reality context involving executive functions among patients after stroke
ConclusionsThese non-contextual auditory stimuli could be used in neurorehabilitation paradigms to train patients with dysexecutive disorders to inhibit disruptive stimuli.

Non-pharmacological interventions for spasticity in adults: An overview of systematic reviews
ConclusionsDespite the available range of non-pharmacological interventions for spasticity, there is lack of high-quality evidence for many modalities. Further research is needed to judge the effect with appropriate study designs, timing and intensity of modalities, and associate costs of these interventions.

Cognitive, emotional, and neural benefits of musical leisure activities in aging and neurological rehabilitation: A critical review
Publication date: Available online 29 April 2017Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Teppo SärkämöAbstractMusic has the capacity to engage auditory, cognitive, motor, and emotional functions across cortical and subcortical brain regions and is relatively preserved in aging and dementia. Thus, music is a promising tool in the rehabilitation of aging-related neurological illnesses, such as stroke and Alzheimer disease. As the population ages and the incidence and prevalence of these illnesses rapidly increases, music-based interventions that are enjoyable and effective in the everyday care of t...

Effect of visuospatial neglect on spatial navigation and heading after stroke
ConclusionThe ipsilesional bias arising from VSN influences the modulation of heading in response to obstacles and, along with the adoption of the “riskier” strategies, contribute to the higher number colliders and poor goal-directed walking abilities in stroke survivors with VSN. Future research should focus on developing assessment and training tools for complex locomotor tasks such as obstacle avoidance in this population.

Assessment of sexual function in women with neurological disorders: A review
ConclusionDespite high prevalence rates and important clinical implications, sexual dysfunction is not systematically assessed in women presenting various neurological conditions. Several well-validated tools exist for such assessments, which could be used for sexual rehabilitation in these patients. The implementation of systematic assessments of sexual potential is feasible and renewed efforts should be made to do so in clinical practice.

Changes in transcranial magnetic stimulation outcome measures in response to upper-limb physical training in stroke: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsThe current evidence encourages the use of TMS outcome measures, especially MEP latency and map area to investigate plastic changes in the brain after upper-limb physical training post-stroke. However, more studies involving rigorous and standardized TMS procedures are needed to validate these observations.

Use and psychometric properties of the Reintegration to Normal Living Index in rehabilitation: A systematic review
ConclusionDespite the increasing use of RNLI in clinical studies, some aspects of its psychometric properties are still poorly evaluated. In addition to the validity and reliability shown in different studies, further studies are needed to investigate other measurement properties such as responsiveness.

Does botulinum toxin treatment improve upper limb active function?
ConclusionBT injections for impairment and passive function are related to improved kinematic parameters; however, the relation between relief of spasticity and improved upper-limb activity has not been established. Possible explanations for the lack of functional effect in studies are first, disability is mainly due to muscle weakness rather than spasticity, so patients with the best underlying motricity may benefit the most from BT injections; second, assessment methods may not be adapted to screen eligible patients; third, most studies’ endpoints were at 4 to 12 weeks after a single injection, but repeated treatment s...

Adding electrical stimulation during standard rehabilitation after stroke to improve motor function. A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionElectrical sensory input can contribute to routine rehabilitation to improve early post-stroke lower-extremity impairment and late motor function, with no change in spasticity. Prolonged periods of sensory stimulation such as TENS combined with activity can have beneficial effects on impairment and function after stroke.
