High Intensity Gait Training for Patient With Apraxia Following Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke
High intensity gait training (HIGT) has strong research evidence for improved gait outcomes post-stroke; however, few studies address motor planning deficits within this framework. The purpose of this case study is to describe the application and outcomes of HIGT in a patient with apraxia undergoing inpatient rehabilitation after stroke.

Letter to the Editor on “Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors Strongly Underestimate the 5-Year Occurrence of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in Spinal Cord Injured Individuals”
Barton et al's1 article studies cardiovascular risk in a cohort of individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI). As the authors noted, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was derived to identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It is important to note, however, that the outcome measure for this risk score is defined as a “composite of coronary heart disease (coronary death, myocardial infarction, coronary insufficiency, and angina), cerebrovascular events (including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stoke, and transient ischemic attack), peripheral artery disease (intermittent claudication), and heart failure.”2 This com...

Safety and feasibility of a neuroscience critical care program to mobilize patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage
To measure the impact of a progressive mobility program on patients admitted to a neuroscience critical care unit (NCCU) with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The early mobilization of critically ill patients with spontaneous ICH is a challenge due to the potential for neurologic deterioration and hemodynamic lability in the acute phase of injury. Patients admitted to the ICU have been excluded from randomized trials of early mobilization after stroke.

Virtual Reality for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Subacute and Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
To evaluate the effectiveness of reinforced feedback in virtual environment (RFVE) treatment combined with conventional rehabilitation (CR) in comparison with CR alone, and to study whether changes are related to stroke etiology (ie, ischemic, hemorrhagic).

Long-term Functional Outcome in Patients with SAH Compared with ICH among the Hemorrhagic Stroke
Some studies show that patients with SAH have a better clinical outcome than ICH patients, but long-term clinical recovery following SAH compared with ICH have not been well studied. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes between SAH and ICH groups, and the patterns of the recovery of the both groups depend on their initial severity.

Prestroke Weight Loss Is Associated With Poststroke Mortality Among Men in the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study
Abstract: Objective: To examine baseline prestroke weight loss and poststroke mortality among men.Design: Longitudinal study of late-life prestroke body mass index (BMI), weight loss, and BMI change (midlife to late life) with up to 8-year incident stroke and mortality follow-up.Setting: Community-based aging study data.Participants: Japanese-American men (N=3581; age range, 71–93y) who were stroke free at baseline.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure: Poststroke mortality: 30 days poststroke, analyzed with stepwise multivariable logistic regression; and long-term poststroke (up to 8y), analyzed with stepwi...

Motor Recovery of the Ipsilesional Upper Limb in Subacute Stroke
Conclusions: Our findings provide evidence that ipsilesional motor capacities remain impaired at least 3 months after stroke, even if clinical tests fail to detect the impairment. Focusing on this lasting ipsilesional impairment through a more detailed kinematic analysis could be of interest to understand the specific neural network underlying ipsilesional upper-limb impairment.
