CONCLUSIONS: The PTAF showed sufficient internal consistency, intra-rater reliability, and construct validity.Implications for rehabilitationThis study illustrated the inter-rater reliability of the public transportation use assessment form (PTAF), indicating that the PTAF can be used for reliable assessment independent of the rater.The PTAF showed good internal consistency, indicating that each item in the PTAF consistently assessed the ability of patients with stroke to use public transportation.The PTAF correlated with assessment tools such as walking ability, balance, motor paralysis, intelligence, and activities of da...

Living with stroke during the first year after onset: an instrumental case study exploring the processes that influence adjustment
CONCLUSIONS: Adjustment to stroke necessitated a reconceptualization of self. Relationships and interactions with others emerged as potential facilitators. For health professionals working with people after stroke, knowledge of the adjustment process and attention to practices that affirm personhood and enhance self-efficacy have the potential to facilitate long term outcomes. Processes linked to adjustment are represented visually to guide conceptual understandings and facilitative actions.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAll interactions with health professionals, including casual or ad hoc interactions, have the potential...

Key constructs of body awareness impairments post-stroke: a scoping review of assessment tools and interventions
CONCLUSIONS: The framework produced will enable future research and clinical practice to be based on consistent concepts and definitions. Clinicians can also use this information to cautiously select assessment tools and/or interventions but are reminded of the limitations identified in this review.Implications for rehabilitationThere is limited understanding, compounded by inconsistent terminology and definitions regarding body awareness after stroke.A synthesized framework to define key constructs and definitions of body awareness is proposed.Assessment tools and interventions reported in the literature are mapped to the...

How does culture influence the implementation of strategy training in stroke rehabilitation? A rapid ethnographic study of therapist perspectives in Taiwan and the United States
CONCLUSIONS: Therapists from both countries shared similar perspectives on the perceived advantages of strategy training, such as enhancing client empowerment and engagement, and the generalization of strategies. Family involvement was more prominently discussed by therapists in Taiwan than by those in the United States.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONStrategy training differs from conventional rehabilitation in its emphasis on clients' life participation and empowerment, generalization of strategies, and enhancement of their engagement, confidence, and problem-solving skills.Therapists may face challenges related to client...

Stroke survivors' views on their priorities for upper-limb recovery and the availability of therapy services after stroke: a longitudinal, phenomenological study
CONCLUSION: Therapy services should recognize stroke survivors' changing priorities and work with them as active partners in upper-limb recovery. Intermittent access to review and advice should be included in service design.Implications for rehabilitationStroke survivors' priorities may change over time from recovery of walking toward upper-limb recovery.Post-stroke services can be perceived as insufficient to meet the needs of stroke survivors who want to participate actively in rehabilitation of their upper limb.Stroke survivors may prefer services that are more flexible to provide regular review of their progress, acces...

Footwear characteristics and foot problems in community dwelling people with stroke: a cross-sectional observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Many community-dwelling people with stroke wore poorly fitting shoes; all had foot problems. Foot problems were linked to reduced mobility. Finding more effective pathways to support people with stroke to select supportive, well-fitting indoor and outdoor footwear is indicated.Implications for rehabilitationPeople with stroke often wear unsupportive ill-fitting shoes and experience foot problems.Assessment of foot problems and footwear advice should be considered during stroke rehabilitation particularly when interventions target fall prevention or improvements in balance and mobility.Information on appropriat...
