The role of the social network during inpatient rehabilitation: A qualitative study exploring the views of older stroke survivors and their informal caregivers.
CONCLUSIONS: To enhance insight in the need of social support after discharge, we suggest that rehabilitation professionals are honest about what to expect and let stroke survivors explore their valued activities in a realistic context more often. PMID: 33427602 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The prevalence and course of neuropsychiatric symptoms in stroke patients impact functional recovery during in-hospital rehabilitation.
Conclusions: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation and have a substantially negative impact on rehabilitation outcomes. Stroke patients with prolonged acute-phase hospitalization and low functioning at admission must be monitored to detect any deterioration in the neuropsychiatric state.

Concurrent validity and reliability of an activity monitoring for rehabilitation (AMoR) platform for step counting and sitting/lying time in post-stroke individuals.
CONCLUSION: The AMoR platform is valid and reliable for step counting and time spent sitting/lying, with a high percentage of accuracy at different walking speeds in the post-stroke population. PMID: 33605190 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Compelled body weight shift approach in rehabilitation of individuals with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: The study outcome revealed that a 6-week intervention involving CBWS therapy could result in a long-lasting improvement of the symmetry of weight bearing and velocity of gait in individuals with chronic stroke. PMID: 23192720 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Systematic review and meta-analysis of constraint-induced movement therapy in the hemiparetic upper extremity more than six months post stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: CIMT to improve UE function is an appropriate and beneficial therapy for individuals who have sustained a stroke more than 6 months previously. PMID: 23192715 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Resistance training for gait speed and total distance walked during the chronic stage of stroke: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis demonstrated that providing lower limb resistance training to community-dwelling individuals who are 6 months post stroke has the capacity to improve comfortable gait speed and total distance walked. PMID: 23192712 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Feasibility investigation of the Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program (ASAP): insights into reach-to-grasp coordination of individuals with postacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using an ASAP protocol for patients 1 to 3 months post stroke. Under ASAP, WMFT tasks and RTG actions were performed faster with higher peak transport velocity and a more coordinated RTG pattern. The next step is to determine whether the immediate gains in the skilled RTG actions persist 6 months alter. PMID: 23611856 [PubMed - in process]

Pearls on primary stroke center.
This article provides a practical summary of recommendations to develop a primary stroke center, including some pearls that result from the experience of our institution in the field. PMID: 23611853 [PubMed - in process]

Influence of lower extremity sensory function on locomotor adaptation following stroke: a review.
Abstract Following stroke, people commonly demonstrate locomotor impairments including reduced walking speed and spatiotemporal asymmetry. Rehabilitation programs have been effective in increasing gait speed, but spatiotemporal asymmetry has been more resistant to change. The inability to modify gait patterns for improved symmetry may be related, in part, to impairments in lower extremity sensation. Assessment of lower extremity sensory impairments in people post stroke, including cutaneous and proprioceptive sensation, has been insufficiently studied. Conventional rehabilitation programs, including body weight-su...

Effects of horseback riding therapy on quality of life in patients post stroke.
Conclusions: Supplementation of conventional physiotherapy with HBRT, applied in different contexts, may yield positive QOL outcomes for people with stroke. We recommend that further studies be carried out to clarify the benefits of HBRT applied singly. PMID: 23841970 [PubMed - in process]

Active video-gaming effects on balance and mobility in individuals with chronic stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
Conclusions: Even though the only intervention was game-play, there were small positive effects. Therapist assistance in making more optimum movement choices may be needed before significant improvements are seen with commercially available, general purpose games.

Effect of task-based mirror therapy on motor recovery of the upper extremity in chronic stroke patients: a pilot study.
Conclusions: The preliminary findings suggest that task-based MT is effective in improving wrist and hand motor recovery in chronic stroke patients. Further studies in the form of randomized trials are needed to validate its effectiveness. PMID: 23841968 [PubMed - in process]

EMG-Force Relations During Isometric Contractions of the First Dorsal Interosseous Muscle After Stroke.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that there appear to be different types of processes (eg, motor unit control property changes, muscle fiber atrophy, spinal motoneuron degeneration, muscle fiber reinnervation, etc) at work post stroke that may impact the EMG-force relations and that may be present in varying degree in any given stroke survivor.

Is the epworth sleepiness scale suitable for use in stroke?
Conclusion: The ESS-8 has good construct validity for use in stroke and is reliable at the cutpoint of 10. Summed raw scores below 18 will be unaffected if nondrivers either score as zero or simply omit item 8. The scale is therefore robust for detecting cases of pathological sleepiness in stroke but may not be suitable for measuring high levels of sleepiness in a sample containing both drivers and nondrivers. Instead, the ESS-7 could be used for this purpose. PMID: 24273296 [PubMed - in process]

Using commercial video games for upper limb stroke rehabilitation: is this the way of the future?
Conclusions: At present, the evidence that the use of commercial video games in rehabilitation improves upper limb functionality after stroke is very limited. However, this approach has the potential to provide easily available and affordable stroke rehabilitation therapy in settings where access to therapy is limited by geographical or financial constraints.
