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.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Children With Stroke
Research into neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for children with cerebral palsy and children post-stroke is limited. However, a recent review suggests that evidence for NMES is sufficient for improvement of gait and muscle strength as well as hand function and walking speed when combined with botulinum toxin and task-specific training.1 NMES is also referred to as electrical stimulation (eStim), functional electrical stimulation (FES), or muscle stimulation.

Medication Management After Stroke
After your stroke, doctors will prescribe specific medications. It is very important that you take your medications every day. To do this, you must get your medications from the pharmacy, organize your medications, correctly read and understand the medication label, and remember to take your medications.1 This is called medication management.

Empowering Stroke Survivors: Understanding The Role of Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation
Stroke is 1 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.

Return to Work for People With Aphasia
Right now, about 2.5 million people in the United States are living with aphasia after stroke.1 Aphasia can make it difficult to talk, listen, read, and/or write. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it can also happen after a traumatic brain injury (eg, blow to the head), a brain tumor, brain infection, or a neurodegenerative disease (eg, Alzheimer's dementia).2 Many people with aphasia are of working age, and this number is going up as more young people in the United States are sustaining stroke.

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...

Young Stroke: Resources for Patients, Their Families, and Caregivers for Long-Term Community Living
Approximately 1 in 10 strokes occurs in adults younger than 50 years of age (young stroke).1 In the United States, hospitalizations resulting from to ischemic stroke (most common type of stroke) among young adults are increasing.2,3 Although having a stroke at any age can result in lifelong physical, visual, emotional, and thinking changes that significantly affect the lives of the survivors, their families, and caregivers, young stroke survivors experience additional challenges. Young stroke survivors often still have to take care of their families, work to ensure their financial security, and be active members of their social communities.

Incorporating Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage Measures in Rehabilitation Clinical Trials
Socioeconomic disadvantage measures characterize the relative disadvantage of an individual or social network using indicators of employment, housing, poverty, and education. While related to a number of health outcomes, socioeconomic disadvantage measures have not been routinely incorporated in rehabilitation research. The purpose of this analysis was to examine the relationships of the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) with stroke survivor (SS) and carepartner (CP) factors, and family functioning.

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.

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...
