Aphasia-accessible Spatial Neglect Care
To learn whether the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) via the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process, and prism adaptation therapy (PAT; Barrett and Houston, 2019) provided aphasia-accessible spatial neglect care, in a left-handed, Cambodian-speaking stroke survivor (55 years) with right spatial neglect and global aphasia. Right-sided spatial neglect affects up to 50% of left brain stroke survivors, however many are never diagnosed or treated. A therapist can encounter great difficulty instructing people with communication disability (aphasia) during neglect assessment and treatment.

Measurement Characteristics and Clinical Utility of the Participation With Recombined Tools-Objective Measure in a Traumatic Brain Injury Population
Participation is the measure of the amount and types of meaningful activities a person engages in at a societal level.1 Participation of people with disability in society is a primary aim of rehabilitation and yet definitions vary, and it is often not measured or reported.1 Participation With Recombined Tools-Objective (PART-O) is a National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke traumatic brain injury (TBI) common data element that measures frequencies of participation within the subdomains of productivity, social interaction, and out and about.

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...

Quantifying Stroke Rehabilitation Dose-Response: A Systematic-Review and Meta-Analysis Using Active Dose
Stroke is a leading causes of long-term disability[1], often requiring rehabilitation to regain function[2]. While no consensus exists on how to optimize rehabilitation features, i.e. dose[3,4], evidence suggests a positive dose-response relationship with increased scheduled time and outcome[3,4,5]. Unfortunately, scheduled time[5], may not accurately reflect dose delivered to patients[6]. Our objective was to quantifying the magnitude of functional improvement with respect to active therapy time, a more accurate dose measure.

Effects of Action Observation Training in Gait Speed of Stroke Patients: A Case Series
Stroke is considered as a primary cause of disability and results to problems in activities of daily living. Action Observation Training (AOT) is an emerging cost-effective physical therapy intervention (PT) which involves facilitation of mirror neurons through viewing of video clips of a healthy individual performing an activity similar to that of the desired task. This intends to describe the effects of AOT used in conjunction with conventional PT interventions in gait speed of stroke patients.

GETCare: Development of a Comprehensive Education and Training Program For Care-Partners Post-Stroke
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, with spousal partners often filling a significant role as caregivers after loved ones return home. Without adequate resources, this new role can lead to increased burden and depression for care-partners, and decreased rehabilitation effectiveness for stroke survivors. Research suggests the quality and amount of education provided to care-partners is severely lacking and there is need for improved services and resources. The purpose of this project was to conduct a needs assessment, create the GETCare program, and gather stakeholder feedback in prepar...

Comprehensive ADL Outcome Measurement after Stroke: Rasch Validation of the Lucerne ICF-Based Multidisciplinary Observation Scale (LIMOS)
To establish Rasch validation of the Lucerne International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)-based Multidisciplinary Observation Scale (LIMOS) in stroke. LIMOS measures the level of assistance in daily life activities related to motor function, communication, cognition, and domestic life. Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT) transforms an ordinal scale into an interval scale and thus the Rasch-based LIMOS scale captures a more accurate improvement of functional outcomes via Rasch-transformed scores.

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.

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.
