Stroke incidence in survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning in South Korea: a population-based longitudinal study - Kim HH, Choi S, Jung YS, Min YG, Yoon D, Lee SE.
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a suspected risk factor for stroke. However, the association between stroke occurrence and carbon monoxide poisoning remains unclear. This nationwide study in Korea analyzed the incidence of stroke in survivors ...

Rhythmic auditory stimulation and gait training in traumatic brain injury: a pilot study - Thompson S, Hays K, Weintraub A, Ketchum JM, Kowalski RG.
Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) has been well researched with stroke survivors and individuals who have Parkinson's disease, but little research exists on RAS with people who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI). This pilot study aimed to (1) ...

Canes may not improve spatiotemporal parameters of walking after stroke: a systematic review of cross-sectional within-group experimental studies - Avelino PR, Nascimento LR, Menezes KKP, Ada L, Teixeira-Salmela LF.
PURPOSE: To examine whether using a cane would improve spatiotemporal parameters of walking, i.e., speed, stride length, cadence, and symmetry after stroke.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Searches were conducted in eight databases. The experimental condition wa...

Determining the optimal dose of reactive balance training after stroke: study protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial - Mansfield A, Inness EL, Danells CJ, Jagroop D, Bhatt T, Huntley AH.
INTRODUCTION: Falls risk poststroke is highest soon after discharge from rehabilitation. Reactive balance training (RBT) aims to improve control of reactions to prevent falling after a loss of balance. In healthy older adults, a single RBT session can lead...

Reliability and validity of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale-Japanese (ABC-J) in community-dwelling stroke survivors - Ishige S, Wakui S, Miyazawa Y, Naito H.
OBJECTIVE: In Japan, there were 1.17 million people with stroke in 2014; however, studies on community rehabilitation among stroke survivors are lacking. The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale is used in many languages to evaluate patients ...

A comparison of three balance-assessment scales for patients after stroke with various levels of balance disorder - Rudolf M, Vidmar G, Goljar N.
It is often difficult for the clinician to choose the most appropriate balance-assessment measure. We wanted to facilitate this decision based on the stroke patient's functional abilities. The aim of our study was to compare three established scales [Berg ...
