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].

Development of a Computerized Adaptive Testing System for Assessing 5 Functions in Patients with Stroke: a simulation and validation study
The authors aimed to develop and validate a Computerized Adaptive Testing System for Assessing 5 Functions in Patients with Stroke (CAT-5F) based on the Barthel Index (BI), Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke patients (PASS), and Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) to improve the efficiency of assessment. The purposes of the CAT-5F assessment are to describe patients ’ levels of impairments or disabilities in the 5 functions and to serve as an outcome measure in patients with stroke.

Early Botulinum Toxin Injections for Spasticity Management Post-stroke: A Delphi-based Canadian Consensus
To create a Canadian consensus statement on early intervention with botulinum toxin-A (BoNTA) injections for spasticity post-stroke. Spasticity is commonly seen in the early weeks post-stroke; if left untreated in this early period, spasticity can lead to contractures and further disability. Literature review indicates that there are very few studies examining the benefits of early BoNTA intervention on spasticity and function post-stroke. Although physicians choose to inject BoNTA in the early period post-stroke to manage spasticity, it is not clear what some of the clinical parameters are that can be used to assist in de...

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.

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.

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...

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.

Preventing Recurrent Stroke
A stroke is like a heart attack in your brain. Recognizing the signs of a stroke is very important, especially for people who have already had a stroke. Recurrent strokes are often associated with greater disability and higher death rates.

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

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.

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).

Combining Robotic & Assistive Technologies To Improve Outcomes: A Pilot Study Quantifying Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke is the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States. Unfortunately, many survivors experience upper extremity (UE) impairment with few rehabilitation opportunities, secondary to a lack of voluntary muscle control. We developed a novel UE rehabilitation paradigm (TDS-HM) that uses a Tongue Drive System (TDS) to control a robotic device (HandMentor: HM), encouraging active learning through a game-like user interface. We hypothesize TDS-HM training will improve motor performance, reduce UE impairment, and improve quality of life in stroke survivors.

Prediction of Falls in Subjects Suffering From Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Stroke: Methodologic Issues
I was interested to read the article by Beghi et  al1 published in the April 2018 issue of Archives. The authors aimed to compare the risk of falls and fall predictors in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and stroke. They included a total of 299 patients as follows: PD (n=94), MS (n=111), and stroke (n=94). They appli ed functional scales to investigate balance, disability, daily performance, self-confidence with balance, and social integration. Patients were followed for 6 months.
