User engagement in the development of a home-based virtual multidisciplinary stroke care clinic for stroke survivors and caregivers: a qualitative descriptive study
CONCLUSION: This study provides findings of users' expectations of using telehealth services. Their perspectives on facilitators and barriers may increase the adoption of the newly developed telehealth service.Implications for rehabilitationTo implement telehealth as part of post-stroke care, it is important to ensure that stroke survivors and caregivers have the necessary information and communication technology support and infrastructure to engage in two-way interactions.Stroke survivors and caregivers may be inclined to use telehealth services due to ease of use, having flexibility in scheduling consultation sessions, d...

Vibration therapy role in neurological diseases rehabilitation: an umbrella review of systematic reviews
CONCLUSION: WBV and FMV appear to play a considerable role in reducing spasticity and improving gait, balance, and motor function in stroke patients. By contrast, vibration therapy seems to be unable to reduce spasticity in multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. Also, correct use parameters for this therapy could not be defined.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONBased on the growing number of systematic reviews, this umbrella review aimed to summarize the findings and evaluate the role of vibration therapy in the rehabilitation of neurological diseases.Whole-body vibration and focal muscle vibration appear to play a considerab...

A systematic review of non-drug interventions to prevent and treat anxiety in people with aphasia after stroke
CONCLUSION: Definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of non-drug interventions for the prevention and/or treatment of anxiety in people with aphasia post-stroke cannot be made. Interventions that may show promise for those with aphasia and symptoms of anxiety include mindfulness meditation, modified cognitive behaviour therapy, unilateral nostril breathing, and the "Enhance Psychological Coping after Stroke" programme. Further high-quality research with better reporting of the inclusion of participants with aphasia and their specific sub-group results are required.Implications for RehabilitationIt is important for re...

"Loneliness can also kill:" a qualitative exploration of outcomes and experiences of the SUPERB peer-befriending scheme for people with aphasia and their significant others
CONCLUSION: Peer-befriending was an acceptable intervention. Benefits for emotional wellbeing and companionship were reported. The shared experience in the befriending relationship was highly valued.Implications for RehabilitationThe lived experience of stroke and aphasia of befrienders was highly valued by people with aphasia receiving peer-befriending.Training, regular supervision, and support for befrienders with practicalities such as organising visits ensured the befriending scheme was perceived as straightforward and acceptable by befriendees.Those receiving peer-befriending would recommend it to others; they found i...

Validation of a translated Chinese version of the Participation Strategies Self-Efficacy Scale: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The PS-SES-C is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing self-efficacy in managing the participation of Chinese stroke survivors.Implications for rehabilitationSelf-efficacy significantly predicts activity and participation in stroke survivors and is a major outcome measure in many stroke rehabilitation programmes.The translated Chinese version of the Participation Strategies Self-efficacy Scale is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate stroke survivors' self-efficacy in managing participation.The Chinese version of the Participation Strategies Self-efficacy Scale can be used to assess stroke recovery amon...

Adaptation to post-stroke homonymous hemianopia - a prospective longitudinal cohort study to identify predictive factors of the adaptation process
CONCLUSIONS: Adaptation to hemianopia is a personal journey with several factors being important for prediction of its presence, including MAC outcomes and extent of inferior visual field loss. A clinical recommendation is made for inclusion of the MAC as part of a functional assessment for hemianopia.Implications for rehabilitationThe mobility assessment course (MAC) should be considered as an assessment of mobility/scanning in the rehabilitation of patients with homonymous hemianopia.A cut-off score of ≤25% omissions on MAC could be employed to determine those likely to adapt to hemianopia long-term.Targeted support an...

Post-stroke lateropulsion and rehabilitation outcomes: a retrospective analysis
CONCLUSION: Post-stroke lateropulsion is associated with reduced functional improvement and likelihood of discharge home. However, given a longer rehabilitation duration, most stroke survivors with moderate to severe lateropulsion can achieve important functional improvement.Implications for RehabilitationWhile people with post-stroke lateropulsion can be difficult to treat and require more resources than those without lateropulsion, the majority of those affected, even in severe cases, can make meaningful recovery with appropriate rehabilitation.Although those with moderate to severe post-stroke lateropulsion may have poo...
