Review of Therapeutic Electrical Stimulation for Dorsiflexion Assist and Orthotic Substitution From the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Stroke Movement Interventions Subcommittee
This article provides clinicians with information to guide them in the use of electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices, discusses current research about the use of electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices for therapeutic and orthotic purposes, and compares the use of electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices and AFOs. There is insufficient evidence thus far to conclude that walking with an electrical stimulation orthotic substitute device is superior to walking with an AFO, but electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices may be the optimal choice for some patients.

Reducing Robotic Guidance During Robot-Assisted Gait Training Improves Gait Function: A Case Report on a Stroke Survivor
Conclusions: The findings from this case study suggest that cooperative control robotic training is superior to conventional robotic training and is a feasible option to restoring locomotor function in ambulatory stroke survivors with severe motor impairments. A larger trial is needed to verify the efficacy of this advanced robotic control strategy in facilitating gait recovery after stroke.

Combination Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Virtual Reality Therapy for Upper Extremity Training in Patients With Subacute Stroke
Conclusions: In the present pilot study, the combination of brain stimulation using tDCS and peripheral arm training using VR could facilitate a stronger beneficial effect on UE impairment than using each intervention alone. This combination therapy might be a helpful method to enhance recovery of the paretic UE in patients with stroke.

Effects of Intensive Whole-Body Vibration Training on Muscle Strength and Balance in Adults With Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that intensive WBV might potentially be a safe and feasible way to increase some aspect of lower limb muscle strength and postural control in adults with chronic stroke. Further studies should focus on evaluating how the training protocol should be administered to achieve the best possible outcome, as well as comparing this training protocol to other interventions.

Motor Imagery Training on Muscle Strength and Gait Performance in Ambulant Stroke Subjects: A Randomized Clinical Trial
50%-65% of stroke survivors have residual motor deficits; principal among them is hemi paretic gait that limits mobility, increases the risk of falls and promoting sedentary life style. Increased strength in the lower extremity muscles has been shown to be associated with improvements in walking performance. Recently Motor Imagery training (MIT) are enhancing motor learning, neural reorganization and cortical activation in stroke patients. However, efficacy MIT involving lower extremity mobility tasks are limited in stroke rehabilitation.

Foot Pressure Symmetry Training as a Prognostic Factor For Postural Stability in Stroke Patients
Balance and symmetry of weight bearing is diminished in patients with hemiplegia. In patients with stroke, visual reliance increases rather than somatosensory. Training of weight-bearing symmetry has been a major focus in balance rehabilitation after stroke. The present study is designed to elucidate the role of foot pressure symmetry training using force plate biofeedback in MCA stroke patients.

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.

Cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals post-stroke: reference values and determinants
In the general population, cardiorespiratory fitness is the best predictor of all-cause mortality1,2 and it has been linked to a decreased chance of cardiovascular disease and a higher quality of life3. Post stroke, a higher cardiorespiratory fitness has been linked to better walking ability4, higher physical activity levels5, and decreased stroke recurrence6. Improving cardiorespiratory fitness through training is possible post stroke7,8 and an increase in cardiorespiratory fitness post stroke has been linked to improved functioning9.

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.

A SMART Approach to Improve Cognition in Chronic Stroke
To examine the effects of a cognitive training called Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training (SMART) on cognition and daily life in adults with chronic stroke. Deficits in abstract reasoning can impact strategic thinking and problem solving in daily life for stroke survivors. The top-down SMART program teaches executive function strategies of strategic attention, integrated reasoning, and innovation to improve daily functioning.

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...
