The development of a self-management intervention for stroke survivors - My Life After Stroke (MLAS)
CONCLUSIONS: MLAS warrants evaluation in a feasibility study.Implications for rehabilitationMy Life After Stroke(MLAS) has been developed using a systematic process, to address the unmet needs of stroke survivors.This systematic process, involved utilising evidence, theories, patient and public involvement, expertise and guidelines from other long-term conditions. This may further help the development of similar self-management programme within the field of stroke.MLAS warrants further evaluation within a feasibility study.PMID:35112969 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2029959

What is important in supporting self-management in community stroke rehabilitation? A Q methodology study
CONCLUSIONS: Differing views exist on what is most important in SSM. These views could be used to inform quality improvement strategies to support the delivery of SSM that considers the preferences of stroke survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONClinicians should be aware of their own viewpoint of supported self-management and consider how their perspective may differ from stroke survivors' and colleagues' perspectives of what's important to support self-management.Working in partnership with stroke survivors plus developing a trusting and supportive relationship with them are core components of supporting self-managem...

The longitudinal association between movement behavior patterns and the course of participation up to one year after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The course of participation after stroke differs across distinct movement behavior patterns after discharge to the home setting. Highly sedentary and inactive people with stroke are at risk for restrictions in participation over time.Implications for rehabilitationThe course of participation in people with a first-ever stroke up to one year after discharge to the home setting differed based on three distinct movement behavior patterns, i.e., sedentary exercisers, sedentary movers and sedentary prolongers.Early identification of highly sedentary and inactive people with stroke after discharge to the home settin...

Functional independence measured in the acute phase of stroke predicts both generic and specific health-related quality of life: a 3-month prospective study in a middle-income country
CONCLUSION: Both generic and specific HRQoL at 3-month post-stroke can be predicted by functional independence assessed in the acute phase with the MBI.PMID:36412142 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2147590

Balance self-efficacy in relation to balance and activities of daily living in community residents with stroke.
Conclusion: Our results support the link between balance efficacy, balance, and ADL in stroke patients. The proposed conceptual model was a good fit for the data and provided a plausible framework for understanding the relationship among these factors in stroke patients. Our model may also guide the intervention of functional rehabilitation for stroke patients. Implications for Rehabilitation Balance self-efficacy, a psychological factor, should not be overlooked in attempting to improve functional outcomes in stroke survivors because balance self-efficacy impact ADL through the mediation of balance ability It would be app...

Stroke rehabilitation: should physiotherapy intervention be provided at a primary health care centre or the patients' place of domicile?
Conclusion: Physiotherapy intervention at the primary health care centre and respective homes of stroke survivors similarly improved clinical outcomes. Treatment at any of these locations may enhance access to physiotherapy after stroke in a low-income community like Nigeria. Implications for Rehabilitation Physiotherapy protocol comprising 10-week task-specific battery of exercises produced significant improvement in walking speed, balance, motor function and community reintegration of stroke survivors. Physiotherapy post-stroke can be provided at either a primary health centre or the domicile of the individual. In a low-...

Exploring staff experience of an "enriched environment" within stroke rehabilitation: a qualitative sub-study.
Discussion: Staff perceived the use of an EE in their rehabilitation unit promoted activity/participation and increased patient moral. The barriers and enablers experienced by staff in this study may be used to inform the design and conduct of future studies investigating the efficacy of EE during inpatient stroke rehabilitation after stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Results from animals models suggest that environmental enrichment (EE) is an important paradigm for consideration in stroke rehabilitation. It is concerning that many stroke survivors are inactive during their admission for inpatient stroke rehabilitati...

Predictors of depression and anxiety in community dwelling stroke survivors: a cohort study.
Conclusion: While more common than depression immediately post-stroke, anxiety attenuates while the burden of depression persists over 12 months. Clinical programs should assess anxiety and depression, provide treatment pathways for those identified, and address modifiable risk factors, especially social support and social engagement. Implications for Rehabilitation Psychological distress post stroke is persisting. Multi-disciplinary teams that establish goals with patients promoting social and community engagement could assist in managing psychological morbidity. A shift towards promoting longer-term monitoring and manage...

Life changed existentially: a qualitative study of experiences at 6-8 months after mild stroke.
Conclusions: Mild-stroke rehabilitation should focus more strongly on basic concerns related to self-perceived health, self-perception, and body, since these dimensions seem to complicate daily activities and close relationships. Professionals should also be aware of patients who experience an uncertain situation and unresolved rehabilitation needs, which still can be present 6-8 months after the stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation When living with mild stroke, entrance to practical and social activities seemed founded on the patients' perception of the body and self as comprehensible or not. Comprehending their own ch...
