Effect of long-term use of ankle-foot orthoses on tibialis anterior muscle electromyography in patients with sub-acute stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Use of ankle-foot orthoses post-stroke reduced tibialis anterior muscle activity in the swing phase within 1 measurement; however, long-term use of ankle-foot orthoses for 26 weeks did not affect such activity. Early or delayed provision of ankle-foot orthoses did not affect the findings. The results indicate that there is no need to fear negative consequences on tibialis anterior-activity because of long-term AFO-use (early) after stroke.

Impact of unilateral spatial neglect with or without other cognitive impairments on independent gait recovery in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: The presence of unilateral spatial neglect without other cognitive impairments is not a significant factor for regaining independent gait. In contrast, unilateral spatial neglect becomes a strong negative factor when combined with other cognitive impairments. PMID: 30406267 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Feasibility and effectiveness of repetitive gait training early after stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Robots enable a substantial, yet feasible, increase in the quantity of walking practice early post-stroke, which might enhance functional recovery. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. PMID: 30516821 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Development and validity of an innovative test to assess guideline-consistent clinical reasoning by physical therapists in stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: The script concordance test has good construct validity. Greater self-reported guideline knowledge, successful completion of the post-bachelor Dutch Neurorehabilitation course, as well as systematic participation in professional development activities facilitate important factors that enhance specialization. The script concordance test is a valid feedback tool for physical therapists to support professional development in the domain of stroke rehabilitation.

AbobotulinumtoxinA and rehabilitation vs rehabilitation alone in post-stroke spasticity: An cost-utility analysis.
CONCLUSION: Despite some limitations, the higher number of quality-adjusted life years gained vs rehab and the high probability of reaching a cost-utility ratio lower than the Italian informal acceptability range (€25,000-40,000) make rehab/aboBoNT-A a cost-effective healthcare programme for treating patients with post-stroke spasticity in Italy.

Nutritional improvement is associated with better functional outcome in stroke rehabilitation: A cross-sectional study using controlling nutritional status.
CONCLUSION: Improvement or maintenance of nutritional status was associated with better functional recovery in post-stroke rehabilitation in adult patients of all ages. PMID: 32052852 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

High-intensity arm resistance training does not lead to better outcomes than low-intensity resistance training in patients after subacute stroke: A randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study did not show differential effects on any outcome of 2 forms of arm resistance training in patients with subacute stroke. PMID: 32378726 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Diagnostic nerve block in prediction of outcome of botulinum toxin treatment for spastic equinovarus foot after stroke: A pilot retrospective observational study.
CONCLUSION: This study confirmed diagnostic nerve block as a valuable screening tool in deciding whether to treat spastic equinovarus with botulinum toxin. However, the results support the evidence that diagnostic nerve block results in a greater reduction in muscle overactivity than does botulinum toxin type A in patients with spastic equinovarus due to stroke.

Self-rated health determinants in post-stroke individuals.
CONCLUSION: Emotional function was found to be a determinant of self-rated health in post-stroke individuals in the chronic phase and, therefore, must be assessed carefully in order to help provide integral healthcare and improve clinical decision-making. Future studies should investigate whether enhancing emotional function is associated with improvements in self-rated health in post-stroke individuals.

Effects of electromechanically assisted gait trainer with Exowalk ® in patients with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: In patients with chronic stroke, walking improved after gait training with or without electromechanical assistance. Electromechanically assisted gait training was not superior to conventional physiotherapy. PMID: 32778902 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Self-directed, home-based, upper limb practice in stroke patients: A systematic review.
CONCLUSION: Existing self-administered home-based practice is not more effective than no intervention in improving upper limb activity in chronic, severely disabled stroke survivors. Structured home-based practice is no more effective than non-structured home-based practice. PMID: 32915239 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predicting admission to post-acute inpatient rehabilitation in patients with acute stroke in Taiwan.
CONCLUSION: Activity Measure Post-Acute Care "6-Clicks" Basic Mobility subscale scores at admission for acute care can predict admission to post-acute inpatient rehabilitation for stroke survivors in Taiwan. This tool can aid clinicians in formulating adequate discharge plans at an early stage, and thus improve the quality of care. PMID: 32924065 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Implementation of evidence-based assessment of the upper extremities in stroke rehabilitation: From evidence to clinical practice.
CONCLUSION: The robustness of evidence, adequate support and receptive context facilitated implementation. The guideline enables a more structured, knowledge-based and equal assessment, and thereby supports clinical decision-making and patient involvement.
