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.

Improvement of Driving Skills in Persons With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Study
Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrates the potential of using a simulator to improve driving-related visual, cognitive, and on-road skills in individuals with RRMS, particularly those with an EDSS score>3. Future randomized controlled trials with adequate power are needed to expand this field of study.

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.

Does Exercise Tolerance Testing at 60 Days Poststroke Predict Rehabilitation Performance?
Conclusions: To the extent that ETT performance can be viewed as a measure of cardiovascular fitness rather than neurologic impairment, cardiovascular fitness at the time of the ETT did not make a significant unique contribution to the number of sessions needed to achieve 20 minutes of stepping. The 6MWT, which involves less intensive exercise than the ETT and therefore is likely to be predominantly affected by neurologic impairment and muscular condition, appeared to account for as much variance as the ETT.

Effects of Mirror Therapy on Motor and Sensory Recovery in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: The application of MT after stroke might result in beneficial effects on movement performance, motor control, and temperature sense, but may not translate into daily functions in the population with chronic stroke.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Surface Peroneal Nerve Stimulation for Motor Relearning in Lower Limb Hemiparesis
Abstract: Objective: To compare the motor relearning effect of a surface peroneal nerve stimulator (PNS) versus usual care on lower limb motor impairment, activity limitation, and quality of life among chronic stroke survivors.Design: Single-blinded randomized controlled trial.Setting: Teaching hospital of academic medical center.Participants: Chronic stroke survivors (N=110;>12wk poststroke) with unilateral hemiparesis and dorsiflexion strength of ≤4/5 on the Medical Research Council scale.Interventions: Subjects were stratified by motor impairment level and then randomly assigned to ambulation training with either a su...

Feasibility of Rehabilitation Training With a Newly Developed Wearable Robot for Patients With Limited Mobility
Conclusions: Eight weeks of rehabilitative training with the wearable robot (16 sessions of 90min) could be performed safely and effectively, even many years after the subjects received their diagnosis.

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.

Handrim Wheelchair Propulsion Training Effect on Overground Propulsion Using Biomechanical Real-Time Visual Feedback
Conclusions: Long-term wheelchair users in both intervention groups significantly improved many aspects of their propulsion technique immediately after training and 3 months from baseline. Furthermore, training with a low-cost instructional video and slide presentation was an effective training tool alone.
