Meeting the need for post-stroke vision care in Australia: a scoping narrative review of current practice
CONCLUSION: Further research is needed into current Australian post-stroke vision care to accurately assess whether the needs of stroke survivors are being met. Available evidence indicates that in Australia, there is a requirement for well-defined protocols for vision screening, education, management, and referral of stroke survivors.Implications for RehabilitationPost-stroke vision care in Australia is unstandardised, which may cause inequities in vision care provision to Australian stroke survivors in different regions and/or care facilities.Education and training pertaining to stroke-related vision conditions for strok...

Task and ecologically based assessment of upper-limb passive function before and after botulinum injections in adults with stroke using the Upper-Limb Performance Assessment: French cross-cultural adaptation and feasibility pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: French use of ULPA is a promising standardized, objective and ecologically based assessment of passive performance in adults with stroke. Preliminary findings after TCCA support feasibility for measurement of individualized goals for UL passive use. Future studies may explore other tasks and environments. Implications for rehabilitationULPA is a performance-based, criterion-referenced and ecological measure of individualized goals based on task-analysis of upper-limb (UL) performance in real-life situations providing an interest for individualized assessment of activity and participation.The measure provides a...

Relationships between overall physical activity and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in developing countries: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: There is a strong relationship between overall PA and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in Benin. Step counts appear to be an indicator of PA levels in developing countries, suggesting walking as a potential exercise to improve PA levels in stroke survivors.Implications for RehabilitationStep counts could serve as an indicator of physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.Walking may be suggested as exercise to improve physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.In Africa French speaking countries, the IPAQ-AF could be used to assess physic...

Effectiveness of walking training on balance, motor functions, activity, participation and quality of life in people with chronic stroke: a systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression of recent randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: Treadmill and overground walking protocols consisting of ≥30 min sessions conducted at least 3 days per week for about 8 weeks are beneficial for improving motor impairments, activity limitations, participation, and quality of life in people with chronic stroke.Implications for rehabilitationTreadmill walking training is effective for improving balance and motor functions.Overground walking training improved significantly walking endurance, walking speed, participation and quality of life.Treadmill and overground walking protocols consisting of ≥30 min sessions conducted at least 3 days per week for about 8...
