Spatial Neglect is Not a Visual Field Defect: A Guide for Clinicians
Visual field defect and spatial neglect may occur simultaneously or separately after a stroke. People with these conditions often experience significant disability and reduced quality of life. Understanding the differences between them will help guide screening, assessments, and treatment approaches in rehabilitation.

Responsiveness of the Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke
Stroke is a major cause of disability often impacting physical, psychological and cognitive function, leading to limitations in activity and social participation.1 A common impairment is upper limb (UL) paresis, affecting up to 80% of patients and persisting into the chronic stage in more that 65% of cases despite prolonged rehabilitation.2 UL paresis is characterized by muscle weakness, altered muscle tone, decreased sensation and impaired control of voluntary movement3 and is often accompanied by an increased use of arm and trunk compensatory movements.

Empowering stroke survivors: understanding the role of multidisciplinary rehabilitation Impact of stroke
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, with someone having a stroke every 40 seconds in the United-States[1]. A stroke can occur by clot that interrupts blood flow in the brain. It can also be caused by a burst of a blood vessel that causes bleeding in the brain. There are also other unknown causes of stroke which occur less frequently. A stroke causes brain cells to die as they no longer receive oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Some of the most common risk factors of stroke are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart diseases, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity[2].

Increasing Hand Opening in Chronic Hemiparetic Stroke Using Nerve Blocks
We investigated the best-case efficacy of emerging nerve block technologies in improving hand opening in individuals with stroke. Upper limb disability in chronic stroke stems from significant flexor bias and weakness of extensors, with hand opening particularly compromised in moderate to severely impaired individuals with stroke. A complete motor block of the ulnar and median nerves may improve volitional hand opening and/or hand opening with assistive Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES).

Effects of the robot-assisted gait training device plus physiotherapy in improving ambulatory functions in subacute stroke patients with hemiplegia: An assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial
Stroke is a major health problem worldwide1 and a major cause of death in people over 60 years old in many countries.2, 3 Hemiplegia is one of the disabilities resulting from stroke.4 Patients with hemiplegia usually have difficulties in maintaining their ambulatory function and daily activities.5, 6 Restoring ambulatory function is one of the main objectives in stroke rehabilitation.

Assessment of V ̇o2peak and Exercise Capacity After Stroke: A Validity Study of the Human Activity Profile Questionnaire
Stroke has a high prevalence1 and is a leading cause of disability worldwide.2 Reduction of cardiorespiratory fitness after stroke has an important effect on the health and quality of life of these individuals.3 Furthermore, low cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a decline of exercise capacity after stroke.4 The reduction of cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise capacity are important modifiable risk factors for recurrent stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.5 Therefore, these outcomes should be assessed in these individuals.

Developing Personas to Inform The Creation of Novel Interventions to Improve Participation Among People With Stroke During COVID-19
People living with disabilities have been found to experience reduced participation during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to inform interventions to improve physical activity and social participation in stroke survivors, we created personas to inform the design and development of products targeting stroke patients during life-changing events such as pandemics after stroke

Exoskeleton-assisted Anthropomorphic Movement Training (EAMT) for Post-stroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, and it places a substantial burden on healthcare services and the socioeconomic system.1 More than two-thirds of individuals with stroke have upper extremity motor impairment and functional deficits at hospital admission,2, 3 manifesting as muscle weakness, loss of coordination and abnormal synergies.4 Moreover, upper limb dysfunction leads to long-term limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation.5 Extensive studies have reported that participants can benefit from high-intensity, task-specific training programs based on motor-le...

Suicide Following Stroke in the United States Veterans Health Administration Population
In the United States (US), suicide is a leading cause of death, and most of these suicides involve firearms, highlighting the importance of lethal means safety in suicide prevention.(1, 2) US Veterans experience a suicide rate 1.5 times higher than US civilian adults and are more likely to use firearms as the means of suicide.(3) Risk factors for suicide within this population include demographic factors such as sex, age, race, and level of education, as well as health factors such as smoking status, psychiatric conditions (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], depression, bipolar and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia...

Developing and Implementing a Collaborative Community Based Stroke Exercise Program
Though stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability, few options exist for stroke survivors to maintain a healthy lifestyle once rehabilitation ends. Our purpose was to develop and implement a community-based stroke exercise program (SEP) to promote the health of stroke survivors.

FAST 112 HEROES: Patient Engagement in an Educational Stroke Awareness Program for Kindergarten
To engage patients who had a stroke in the past in the FAST 112 Heroes educational program (Tsakpounidou et al. 2019). Patient involvement is an important contribution to improve quality of care and advocacy. As stroke is worldwide a leading cause of disability and mortality (Gurol et al, 2018), individuals who suffered this near death experience are often aware of the stroke symptoms. Unfortunately, studies show that a great percentage of people are not able to recognize the stroke symptoms F.A.S.T.
