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.

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...
