Explicit motor sequence learning with the paretic arm after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors can learn a movement sequence with their paretic arm, but demonstrate impairments in sequence specific learning. Implications for Rehabilitation Motor sequence learning is important for recovery of movement after stroke. Stroke survivors were found to be capable of learning a movement sequence with their paretic arm, supporting the concept of repetitive task training for recovery of movement. Stroke survivors showed impaired sequence specific learning in comparison with age-matched controls, indicating that they may need more repetitions of a sequence in order to re-learn movements. Further re...

One size does not fit all - Stroke survivor's views on group self-management interventions.
CONCLUSION: A varied group of stroke survivors can provide valuable insight and ideas about how group SMP's should be constructed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first patient engagement study that explores group SMPs for stroke. In future work, researchers may find it helpful to consider the findings from this study to inform the design of group SMPs. Implications for Rehabilitation There is interest in whether unmet needs after stroke could be addressed through a group self-management program (SMP). Stroke survivors can provide valuable insight and ideas about how group SMPs should be constructed. Group SMPs s...

Examination of the relevance of the ICF cores set for stroke by comparing with the Stroke Impact Scale.
CONCLUSIONS: Health professionals do not fully capture the magnitude of emotional or social problems experienced by persons after stroke when using the ICF Core Set as a framework for evaluation. Implications for Rehabilitation The ICF Core Set for Stroke provides comprehensive list of possible health and health related outcomes for persons after stroke. Problems reported in condition-specific patient-reported outcome scales can be important in decision making in rehabilitation. Patients and health professionals tend to agree more on physical than cognitive problems. Examination of the relevance of the ICF cores set for st...

Stroke survivor attitudes toward, and motivations for, considering experimental stem cell treatments.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors may consider undergoing experimental stem cell treatments despite uncertainty regarding the risks/benefits. Clinicians should be mindful of the factors that may increase the likelihood of patients considering these treatments and intervene, where appropriate, to clarify any misconceptions regarding the medical/financial risks. IMPLICATION FOR REHABILITATION Stem cell treatments offer a new focus for reducing stroke-related disability, although their safety and effectiveness have yet to be established. Despite uncertainty regarding the medical risks and benefits associated with stem cell inject...

Stroke health professionals' management of depression after post-stroke aphasia: a qualitative study.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that health professionals are challenged by and limited in managing depression after post-stroke aphasia. Health professionals have the opportunity to improve services through the translation of evidence-based interventions. The integration of mental health care into stroke rehabilitation may be achieved through policy development, leadership and specialist training. Implications for rehabilitation People with aphasia need routine mood screening using aphasia-specific clinical tools and communication support. Stroke health professionals report a need for communication partner training to...

Understanding activity participation 3-months after stroke: a mixed methodology study.
CONCLUSION: Qualitative interviews extend our understanding of the process of returning to participation in life activities and occupations following stroke to reveal that it involves the stroke survivor in a dynamic adaptation process of synchronizing personal, environmental and temporal dimensions in their daily lives. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Rehabilitation professionals need to recognize the unique knowledge and ability stroke survivors have to manage their capacities, activities, occupations and environments. Client-centered practice involving true collaborative partnerships are needed to ensure stroke survivor...

The feasibility of a self-management programme (My Life After Stroke; MLAS) for stroke survivors
CONCLUSIONS: MLAS was a feasible self-management programme for stroke survivors and warrants further testing as part of the Improving Primary Care After Stroke (IPCAS) cluster randomised controlled trial.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMy Life After Stroke is a self-management programme developed for stroke survivors living in the community.MLAS is feasible and acceptable to stroke survivors.MLAS could be considered to help address the unmet educational and psychological needs of stroke survivors.PMID:35104171 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2029960

Self-evaluation of personal needs by community-living young stroke survivors using an online English language questionnaire
CONCLUSIONS: There is high burden of unmet needs in community-living young stroke survivors which are spread disproportionately across the identified domains.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONIdentifying personal needs of young stroke survivors is crucial for their recovery.Impairments after Stroke, Finances, and Social Participation were often selected as being high burden unmet needs for community-living young people after stroke.Employing a post-stroke checklist to guide exploration of needs in young stroke may better capture which needs are unmet.PMID:35617487 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2076935

A qualitative study exploring how stroke survivors' expectations and understanding of stroke Early Supported Discharge shaped their experience and engagement with the service
CONCLUSIONS: Ensuring stroke survivors are fully informed about ESD and what to expect, optimises engagement with the services, improves experience and could enhance outcomes.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONInforming stroke survivors about what to expect from ESD services could optimise engagement and improve their experience.The provision of personalised and target focussed therapy at home improves stroke survivors' experience and could potentially accelerate recovery.Preparing stroke survivors early for discharge from ESD can reduce anxiety and enhance engagement with the service.PMID:35895746 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2102251
