Error augmentation as a possible technique for improving upper extremity motor performance after a stroke - a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the studies reviewed have significant methodological drawbacks that resulted in equivocal results. Therefore, we recommend that additional randomized controlled trials, with larger sample sizes and acceptable protocols be conducted to determine the long-term efficacy of EA training.

Reliability and validity of the Swedish Fatigue Assessment Scale when self-administrered by persons with mild to moderate stroke.
CONCLUSION: The Swedish translation of the FAS used as a self-administrated questionnaire is reliable and valid for measuring fatigue in persons with mild to moderate stroke.

Cross-education of strength has a positive impact on post-stroke rehabilitation: a systematic literature review.
CONCLUSION: Based on best evidence synthesis guidelines the combination of the results included in this review suggest at least a moderate level of evidence for the application of cross-education of strength in stroke rehabilitation. Following this review it is recommended that additional high quality randomized controlled trials are conducted to further support the findings.

Home-based telesurveillance and rehabilitation after stroke: a real-life study.
CONCLUSION: The home-based program was feasible and effective in both sub-acute and chronic post-stroke patients, improving their recovery, and maintaining the benefits reached during inpatient rehabilitation.

In the first 3 months after stroke is progressive resistance training safe and does it improve activity? A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS There was no evidence reported that PRT is unsafe in people within the first 3 months after stroke, although there was a lack of reporting about adverse events. The lack of demonstration of effect in improving muscle strength and activity suggests there is insufficient evidence to recommend the prescription of PRT for people within the first 3 months after stroke.

Impact of social support on participation after stroke in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: The impact of social support was significant only in the economic self-sufficiency domain of participation with higher availability of social support related to better economic self-sufficiency. This finding provides additional information on the importance of social support post-stroke.

Efficacy of transcranial alternating current stimulation over bilateral mastoids (tACSbm) on enhancing recovery of subacute post-stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: tACSbm appeared to be effective for enhancing patients' functional recovery and cerebral hemodynamics in the subacute phase. The extent of recovery seems to be associated with the decline of the resistance in vascular bed of the main cerebral arteries. The mechanisms behind this effect should be explored further through research.

Grip strength is a representative measure of muscle weakness in the upper extremity after stroke.
CONCLUSION: This cross-sectional study showed that grip strength is strongly associated with muscle strength in the arm in persons in the chronic phase after stroke. As grip strength is easy to measure and less time-consuming than arm muscle strength measurements, this implies that grip strength can be a representative measure of muscle weakness of the entire upper extremity in the chronic phase after stroke.

Ultrasonographic measurements of the metacarpal and talar cartilage thicknesses in hemiplegic patients after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: We may conclude that metacarpal (but not talar) cartilage is thinner on the paretic side of stroke patients that seems to be less with better motor functioning.

Informal caregivers' burden and stress in caring for stroke survivors with spatial neglect: an exploratory mixed-method study.
CONCLUSIONS: This exploratory study suggests that spatial neglect may heighten caregivers' burden and stress levels. Future studies with a large sample size are required.

Problems with balance and binocular visual dysfunction are associated with post-stroke fatigue.
CONCLUSION: The three extracted components of MFIS proved clinically informative. The arousal component revealed particularly interesting results in studying fatigue. The correlation analysis shown at this component differs from cognitive and physical fatigue and describes another aspect of PSF, important in future treatment and research.

Ventilatory threshold may be a more specific measure of aerobic capacity than peak oxygen consumption rate in persons with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Motor dysfunction appears to artificially lower measured aerobic capacity. VO2-VT seemed to be less distorted than VO2-peak and had good inter-rater reliability, so it may provide more specific assessment of aerobic capacity post-stroke.

Pilot randomized controlled trial to assess a physical therapy program on upper extremity function to counteract inactivity in chronic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The suggested PT program may be useful to improve the paretic UE function and motor recovery in chronic stroke. Moreover, it may be helpful to facilitate lifelong active involvement of stroke subjects in exercise.

Effects of virtual reality for stroke individuals based on the International Classification of Functioning and Health: a systematic review.
DISCUSSION: The effects of virtual reality on stroke rehabilitation based on the ICF framework are positive in Body Function and Body Structure. However, the results in the domains Activity and Participation are inconclusive. More high-quality clinical trials are needed to confirm the effectiveness of virtual reality in the domains of Activity and Participation.

Intra- and inter-rater reliabilities of measurement of ultrasound imaging for muscle thickness and pennation angle of tibialis anterior muscle in stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: These finding demonstrate that measurements of the tibialis anterior muscle using USI can be useful for clinical assessment in stroke patients. In addition, objective and quantitative measurements of tibialis anterior muscle using USI may provide appropriate management for the walking recovery of stroke patients.
