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.

Letter to the Editor on “Chronic Phase Survival Rate in Stroke Patients With Severe Functional Limitations According to the Frequency of Rehabilitation Treatment”
We have read with great interest the article by Park et al1 entitled “Chronic Phase Survival Rate in Stroke Patients with Severe Functional Limitations According to the Frequency of Rehabilitation Treatment.”1 They investigated the chronic phase survival rate (from 24 to 120 months after the onset) of stroke patients with severe functional limitations, according to the frequency of rehabilitation treatment from the stroke onset to 24 months after the stroke. For the study, data on 593 patients were collected from the Korea National Health Insurance Database from 2007 to 2018.

The Correlation Between the Length of Stay and Improvements in Post Acute Care Stroke Patients
To investigate whether the duration of hospitalization in post acute care(PAC) correlates to the patients ’ improvements since there’s no research evaluating the effects of PAC for stroke patients ever since the PAC plan inaugurated in Taiwan. PAC is a transitional care following acute medical stage for stroke patients and offering a more intensive rehabilitative program. According to National Healt h Insurance in Taiwan, only patients encountered acute stroke within one month, under relative stable medical condition and had potential for aggressive rehabilitation could transfer to PAC institution.
