Early brain imaging predictors of post-stroke spasticity
CONCLUSION: Lesions involving motor network areas are considered to be a precondition of post-stroke spasticity. There is, however, a low risk of developing post-stroke spasticity with < 0.5 cm3 volumes of supratentorial brain lesions involving motor network areas. Larger volume brain lesions involving motor network areas, e.g. > 3 cm3, were significantly more common in patients with post-stroke spasticity. Pure cortical lesions has no risk of post-stroke spasticity in stroke survivors.PMID:33616193 | DOI:10.2340/16501977-2803

Reduction in retained activity participation is associated with depressive symptoms 3 months after mild stroke: An observational cohort study.
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study establish the association of depressive symptoms with retained activity participation 3 months post-stroke in stroke survivors with mild neurological stroke severity. Clinical rehabilitation recommendations to enhance activity participation need to account for those with even mild depressive symptoms post-stroke. PMID: 28121336 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of premorbid physical activity on stroke severity and post-stroke functioning.
CONCLUSION: There are significant associations between premorbid walking habits and functional status after first-ever stroke. Weekly light-intensity activity, such as walking for more than 30 min, may have a sustained impact on functioning after stroke. PMID: 26073856 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Life satisfaction in spouses of stroke survivors and control subjects: A 7-year follow-up of participants in the Sahlgrenska Academy study on ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Seven years after stroke, spouses of stroke survivors reported lower life satisfaction compared with spouses of controls. Life satisfaction in stroke survivors' spouses was associated with spouses' age, sex, giving support, and the stroke survivors' level of global disability.

Recovery of arm function during acute to chronic stage of stroke quantified by kinematics
CONCLUSION: Kinematic variables of movement time, mean velocity and number of velocity peaks were effective in quantifying the recovery of the upper limb after stroke. The rate of recovery was dependent on age, stroke severity and type of stroke.PMID:33729539 | DOI:10.2340/16501977-2813

Patients self-reported versus objective clinical measures of improvement of upper limb capacity after stroke: Are they matching?
CONCLUSION: The match between observational and self-reported measures of upper limb capacity is not dependent on the timing of assessment post-stroke. Assessment of both observational and self-reported measures may help to recognize possible over- or under-estimation of improvement in upper limb capacity post-stroke.

Site and size of lesion predict post-stroke spasticity: A retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study.
CONCLUSION: Large stroke volumes might predict post-stroke spasticity if the lesion is > 3 cm3 in size and if the lesion is located within the middle cerebral artery territory with involvement of the pyramidal tract and/or internal capsule. Lesion size ≤ 2 cm3 outside the middle cerebral artery territory is associated with lower risk of post-stroke spasticity. PMID: 32179931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cerebral infarct site and affected vascular territory as factors in breathing weakness in patients with subacute stroke.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of breathing weakness was very high in stroke patients admitted to a neurorehabilitation ward, being more severe in cortical or cortico-subcortical stroke. PMID: 33043382 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of rehabilitation start time on functional outcomes after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Starting post-stroke rehabilitation on the day of admission or second day of hospitalization may be the optimum timing for functional outcomes. However, for haemorrhagic stroke, starting rehabilitation on the second day of hospitalization may be more effective than on the day of admission. PMID: 33284355 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Berg Balance Scale score at admission can predict walking suitable for community ambulation at discharge from inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: The Berg Balance Scale can be used at rehabilitation admission to predict the degree of improvement in walking for patients with stroke. PMID: 29068037 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Factors predicting the total medical costs associated with first-ever ischemic stroke patients transferred to the rehabilitation ward.
Conclusion: These findings can help clinicians to identify risk factors for total medical costs in these patients and reduce costs by minimizing some complications (hypoalbuminaemia, fever, hypokalaemia, and hyponatraemia). PMID: 25268933 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dalfampridine in chronic sensorimotor deficits after ischemic stroke: A proof of concept study.
CONCLUSIONS: D-ER was generally well tolerated in participants with chronic stroke deficits. Potential drug activity on lower extremity sensorimotor function, with an improvement in walking speed, was seen. PMID: 26540083 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Long-term perceived disabilities up to 10 years after transient ischaemic attack
CONCLUSION: The broadly perceived disabilities were demonstrated consistently and played a significant meaningful role in everyday life and recovery among community-dwelling individuals up to 10 years after a transient ischaemic attack. These findings indicate the need for long-term multi-professional follow-up with holistic rehabilitation to improve overall recovery among survivors of transient ischaemic attack.PMID:33656562 | DOI:10.2340/16501977-2808
