A qualitative pilot study exploring clients' and health-care professionals' experiences with aquatic therapy post-stroke in Ontario, Canada
CONCLUSIONS: Health-care professionals and clients reported numerous benefits of aquatic therapy post-stroke including, but not limited to, improvements in mobility, balance, wellbeing, and socialization. Lack of formal and informal education and communication as participants' transition from rehab to community were viewed as barriers to aquatic therapy use post-stroke. Developing education material and communication strategies may improve the uptake of aquatic therapy post-stroke.PMID:36999561 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2195590

Feasibility of a remotely supervised home-based group eHealth Fitness and Mobility Exercise program for stroke: French-Canadian version preliminary study
CONCLUSION: FAME@home was feasible to deliver as a remotely supervised group exercise program to community-dwelling stroke survivors, with high levels of retention and adherence. FAME@home improved accessibility to exercise and facilitated engagement by having a class schedule and social interaction.PMID:34994303 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.2012008

World Caf é- a community conversation: a Canadian perspective on stroke survivors needs for community integration
Conclusions: While some similarities in needs and solutions were identified for stroke survivors across three diverse communities, differences between them were also reported. Approaches to enhance better communication among all stakeholders and facilitate a continuous transition from hospital to community are needed. Co-creating solutions with each local community should be considered as individual needs, and challenges are specific to each community.PMID:34057404 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.1928839

Portrait of driving practice following a mild stroke: a secondary analysis of a chart audit.
Conclusion: The proportion of charts documenting driving restriction post-stroke in acute care was very low. Assuming that all driving discussions and referrals were captured in the charts (which may not be the case), our results would indicate an important gap in acute care practice as compared to best practices relating to driving post-stroke.

Screening Adherence for Depression Post Stroke: Evaluation of Outpatients, a London Experience (SAD PEOPLE).
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the frequency of depressive symptoms in an outpatient cohort and demonstrates how screening rates can be improved by using a standardized form. Routine PHQ-9 completion at the first outpatient visit was associated with more physician-patient discussion and documentation regarding mood. PMID: 30346909 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Inequities in access to inpatient rehabilitation after stroke: an international scoping review.
Conclusion Recommendations regarding which patients with moderate and severe strokes should access ongoing rehabilitation are inconsistent. Clinical practice guidelines from different countries regarding post-stroke rehabilitation do not always reflect the evidence regarding the likely benefits to people with stroke. Inequity in access to rehabilitation after stroke is an international issue. PMID: 28835194 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
