Six-month outcomes and patterns of recovery for people with lateropulsion following stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with lateropulsion can recover from lateropulsion and make meaningful functional gains, including some individuals with more severe lateropulsion. Lateropulsion severity is a key indicator of functional outcome post-stroke.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONIndividuals with lateropulsion can make significant gains in terms of mobility and functional abilities by six months post-stroke, learning to compensate for their verticality impairment in standing by loading their non-paretic leg.It is important that stroke survivors with lateropulsion, including those with moderate and severe lateropulsion, are p...

The effects of mechanical hippotherapy riding on postural control, balance, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with stroke
CONCLUSION: Exercises using mechanical hippotherapy devices could improve postural control, functional mobility and balance in patients with stroke. It may also improve the quality of life.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03528993IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONNCT03528993It was concluded from our results that mechanical hippotherapy could be included in the treatment programs of stroke patients.PMID:37303153 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2221458

Indirect causal path from motor function to quality of life through daily use of the affected arm poststroke after task-specific training: a longitudinal mediation analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced motor function after intervention may lead to an increase in arm use for daily activities and subsequently result in an improvement in QoL. These results highlight the critical role of daily arm use in task-specific training aimed at improving QoL.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONTask-specific training may improve motor function, daily arm use, activities of daily living, and quality of life in patients with mild-to-moderate arm hemiparesis.To improve quality of life in task-specific training, clinicians may work in sequence from motor function to daily arm use and then to activities of daily living.Emp...

Exploring the experience of cognitive changes among community-dwelling stroke survivors: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Post-stroke cognitive changes were described by participants as a driving force behind negative shifts in their daily lives, emotional health, and social connections after stroke. Despite seeking care for their post-stroke cognitive changes, many participants were unable to find support in mainstream healthcare. There is a demonstrated need to further elucidate the gaps in care for post-stroke cognitive deficits and implement community interventions targeting cognitive health post-stroke.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONClinicians should consider how cognitive changes post-stroke may affect daily life and the up...

From concept to practice: a scoping review of the application of AI to aphasia diagnosis and management
CONCLUSION: Considerable scope remains to align AI technology with aphasia rehabilitation to empower patient-centred, customised rehabilitation and enhanced self-management.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAphasia is an acquired communication disorder that impacts everyday functioning due to impairments in speech, auditory comprehension, reading, and writing.Given this communication burden, researchers have focused on utilising artificial intelligence (AI) methods for assessment, therapy and self-management.From a conceptualisation era in the early 1940s, the application of AI has evolved with significant developments in AI ...

Effect of a restrictive orthosis on the paralyzed hand in combination with constraint-induced movement therapy in a patient with chronic stroke: a case report
CONCLUSION: Restrictive orthosis on the paralyzed hand in combination with CIMT was found to be a beneficial rehabilitation approach.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThis case suggests that not assistive but suppressive orthosis with constraint-induced movement therapy can be effective in strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the hand and restricting compensatory movements by the extrinsic muscles in hemiplegic patients.Treating the paralyzed side with a suppressive orthosis may be an effective novel approach for improving the physical function of the paralyzed hand in post-stroke patients.PMID:37154672 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2208378

Perseverance with home-based upper limb practice after stroke: perspectives of stroke survivors and their significant others
CONCLUSION: Persevering with practice is multifaceted for stroke survivors. All facets need to be addressed in the design of strategies to enhance stroke survivors' ability to persevere and in turn, enhance their potential for continued upper limb recovery.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMany stroke survivors do not persevere with long-term home-based upper limb practice despite the belief that high dose practice will promote continued recovery.Therapists need to support stroke survivors to setup individualised goal-based home programs that they can complete independently, or with support, within their everyday life.Stroke ...

Outcomes of importance to people with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and stroke following a falls prevention intervention: a qualitative study to inform a core outcome set
Conclusions: This study presents new perspectives across patient groups regarding important outcomes upon completion of falls prevention interventions. Taken together with the findings of a literature review, this data will inform the development of a COS.Implications for rehabilitationPeople with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and stroke consider the success of a falls prevention intervention to be dependent on improvements across a wide range of outcomes.The design and implementation of falls prevention interventions should align with patient preferences.Clinicians and researchers should consider the use of mult...
