Body structure/function impairments and activity limitations of post-stroke that predict social participation: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: There is some evidence that stroke severity, mental and motor deficits, limitations in activities of daily living and the ability to walk after a stroke can predict social participation in the community.

Quadriceps muscle thickness changes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage during the acute phase.
Conclusions Our results indicate that quadriceps muscle thickness decreases in patients with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, particularly in patients with poor Hunt and Hess grade or marked disability. PMID: 29216792 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Rupture of a non-traumatic anterior communicating artery aneurysm: Does location of aneurysm associate with functional independence following post-acute in-patient neurorehabilitation?
CONCLUSION: ACoA was not associated with poorer level of functional independence compared to patients with a-SAH located elsewhere. Higher age was associated with poorer outcome in continence, comprehension, and memory, whereas higher FIM was associated with better functional independence across items at discharge.

The six-minute walk test predicts cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
CONCLUSIONS: The 6MWT is an easy-to-administer submaximal exercise test that can be selected to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness at an aggregated level, in groups of patients with a-SAH, which may help to evaluate interventions in a clinical or research setting. However, the relatively large prediction error does not allow for an accurate prediction in individual patients. PMID: 27915583 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Restrictions and satisfaction with participation in patients who are ADL-independent after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
CONCLUSIONS: Almost two-thirds of the ADL-independent patients experienced problems of participation 6 months after aSAH. Cognitive complaints (subjective) and anxiety symptoms showed the strongest association with participation restrictions and satisfaction. Cognitive rehabilitation and anxiety-reducing interventions may help to optimize rehabilitation and increase participation after aSAH. PMID: 27322797 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Non-aneurysmal non-perimesencephalic subarachnoid Hemorrhage: effect of rehabilitation at short-term and in a prospective study of long-term follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: The quality of life (QoL) is decreased after NPM SAH. In the long-term follow-up, a significant reduction in physical items was identified. Due to subsequent in-patient rehabilitation after NPM SAH, the impairment can be improved significantly until short-term follow-up. Whereas patients with NPM SAH had a significantly decreased QoL at long-term follow-up, for patients with rehabilitation, the QoL was only slightly (non-significantly) reduced. Therefore, patients should receive subsequent rehabilitation after NPM SAH to improve the functional short-term outcome (mRS) and long-term QoL. www.clinicaltrials.gov ...
