Outcomes of ambulatory rehabilitation programmes following botulinum toxin for spasticity in adults with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: While patient-centred outcomes following BoNT-A injections for post-stroke spasticity were not influenced by intensity of ambulatory rehabilitation programmes, there was a trend for high intensity therapy to be associated with greater upper limb goal attainment. This suggests that the effects of more intensive therapy may be a modifier of the 'black box' of rehabilitation; however, further research is required to evaluate this effect and determine which elements of therapy programmes optimise post-BoNT-A outcomes.

Reliability of a new scale for measurement of spasticity in stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: The TSS has good test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability in measurement of muscle tone. This new scale provides an alternative for measuring spasticity, which avoids some of the shortcomings of previous scales.

Validity and reliability of the modified sphygmomanometer test to assess strength of the lower limbs and trunk muscles after stroke.
Conclusion: In general, the MST showed adequate criterion-related validity, test-retest and inter-rater reliabilities for the assessment of strength of the lower limb and trunk muscles in subjects with chronic stroke. For the majority of the assessed muscles, only one trial, after familiarization, provided adequate strength values.

Influence of motor imagery training on gait rehabilitation in sub-acute stroke: A randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion: Motor imagery training may have a beneficial task-specific effect on gait function in sub-acute stroke; however, longer term confirmation is required.

Screening for cognitive impairment after stroke: A systematic review of psychometric properties and clinical utility.
Conclusion: The MoCA is the most valid and clinically feasible screening tool to identify stroke survivors with a wide range of cognitive impairments who warrant further assessment.

Development of a Computerized Digit Vigilance Test and validation in patients with stroke.
Conclusion: A C-DVT with a limited amount of random measurement error was developed. These preliminary findings show that the C-DVT demonstrates satisfactory concurrent validity, ecological validity, and test-retest reliability in patients with stroke.

Measurement properties of the lower extremity motor coordination test in individuals with stroke.
CONCLUSION: The LEMOCOT demonstrated adequate measurement properties in stroke subjects and, therefore, could be an appropriate measure for research and clinical purposes.

Changes in life habits affected by mild stroke and their association with depressive symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Systematic screening for depression should be carried out upon discharge from hospital in order to better target individuals who have had a mild stroke and are in further need of rehabilitation.

Reliability and validity of the modified sphygmomanometer test for the assessment of strength of upper limb muscles after stroke.
CONCLUSION: The MST showed adequate measurement properties for the assessment of the strength of the upper limb muscles of subjects with chronic stroke. After familiarization a single trial provided adequate strength values.

Course of social support and relationships between social support and patients' depressive symptoms in the first 3 years post-stroke.
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors experience a decline in social support over time. Various subtypes of support show distinct relationships with depressive symptoms. Healthcare professionals should focus on the various subtypes of support when supporting patients to improve and maintain an adequate social support network.

Accelerometric assessment of different dimensions of natural walking during the first year after stroke: Recovery of amount, distribution, quality and speed of walking.
CONCLUSION: In this cohort, different outcomes of walking behaviour showed different patterns and levels of recovery, which supports the multi-dimensional character of gait.

Isometric and isokinetic muscle strength in the upper extremity can be reliably measured in persons with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Muscle strength in the upper extremity can be reliably measured in persons with chronic stroke. Isometric measurements yield smaller measurement errors than isokinetic measurements and might be preferred, but the choice depends on the research question.

Altered force perception in stroke survivors with spastic hemiplegia.
CONCLUSION: Overall, both force and effort misperceptions occur in stroke survivors with spasticity. Spasticity and spastic synergistic activation probably contribute to force and effort misperception during voluntary activation in chronic stroke.

Cross-cultural validity of the Brazilian version of the ABILHAND questionnaire for chronic stroke individuals, based on Rasch analysis.
CONCLUSION: The ABILHAND specific for stroke individuals demonstrated satisfactory measurement properties for use within both clinical and research contexts in Brazil, and cross-cultural validity for use in international/multicentric studies between Brazil, Belgium, and Italy.
