Comparison of gait parameters across three attentional loading conditions during timed up and go test in stroke survivors.
Conclusions: These findings suggested that gait performance was compromised during dual-task conditions for individuals with stroke. Attentional loading may be incorporated into routine gait assessment and rehabilitation to ensure a successful recovery. PMID: 24710973 [PubMed - in process]

Employment after stroke: report of a state of the science symposium.
Abstract For many stroke survivors, returning to work becomes an important emotional and functional milestone in signaling recovery. It can also provide needed financial support and reduce the burden placed on society in the form of government assistance. The complex nature of the return-to-work process involves many factors that may support or interfere with reintegration into the workforce. For the purpose of examining this important topic more closely, the Rehabilitation Research & Training Center on Enhancing the Functional and Employment Outcomes of Individuals Who Experience a Stroke held a State of the ...

Family Intervention: Telephone Tracking (FITT): A Pilot Stroke Outcome Study.
Conclusion: Findings suggest that the model has the potential to decrease health care utilization and improve quality of life for stroke survivors and their caregivers. Further study is warranted. PMID: 24722045 [PubMed - in process]

Relationship between touch sensation of the affected hand and performance of valued activities in individuals with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to relate touch sensation of the affected hand and performance and satisfaction with performance of valued activities in individuals with stroke. The findings suggest that rehabilitation therapists need to continue to address sensory function in evaluation and intervention as it relates to performance in valued activities. This study serves as a foundation for future research in sensation and performance of valued activities in individuals with chronic stroke. PMID: 25150666 [PubMed - in process]

Modified constraint-induced movement therapy for upper extremity recovery post stroke: what is the evidence?
CONCLUSION: The mCIMT protocol is an effective intervention for UE recovery post stroke. Future research including large RCTs could potentially increase the LOE for mCIMT. Additional investigation into the effectiveness of mCIMT in acute and subacute stroke populations is warranted given the limited number of studies performed to date.

A comparative study of conventional physiotherapy versus robotic training combined with physiotherapy in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSION: RT combined with CP produced better improvement in FIM, MMSE, BRS lower extremity categories, and all subparts of SF-36 of the patients with subacute and chronic stroke (up to 1 year) than the CP program. PMID: 25467393 [PubMed - in process]

The effect of pelvic floor muscle training on sexual function in men with lower urinary tract symptoms after stroke.
CONCLUSION: The results showed that, as measured by erectile function in men with LUTS after stroke, PFMT may have short-term and long-term effect, although no statistically significant effect was demonstrated between the groups. PMID: 25779892 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy of adhesive taping as an adjunt to physical rehabilitation to influence outcomes post-stroke: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary evidence in the domain of body function and structure suggests that use of rigid adhesive tape as an adjunct may increase the number of pain-free days at the shoulder. Evidence for the improvement of pain intensity, range of motion, muscle tone, strength, or function with taping is inconclusive. The evidence related to activity and participation is insufficient. The use of adhesive taping post-stroke needs further and more rigorous research to compare the types, methods and dosage of taping. PMID: 25776123 [PubMed - in process]

Real-world affected upper limb activity in chronic stroke: an examination of potential modifying factors.
CONCLUSIONS: Severity of motor dysfunction and ADL status should be taken into consideration when setting goals for UL activity in people with chronic stroke. Given the strong, positive correlation between affected and unaffected UL activity, encouragement to increase activity of the unaffected UL may increase affected UL activity.

Noninvasive neurostimulation in chronic stroke: a double-blind randomized sham-controlled testing of clinical and corticomotor effects.
CONCLUSIONS: RPMS improved ankle impairments in chronic stroke likely by a dynamic influence of sensory inputs on synaptic plasticity. The neurophysiological mechanisms potentially underlying the clinical effects are unclear. More studies are warranted to test the spinal and hemispheric changes responsible for the clinical improvements with emphasis on circuits spared by the lesion. PMID: 25776116 [PubMed - in process]

Alteration in the center of mass trajectory of patients after stroke.
CONCLUSION: The CoM trajectory analysis pointed out that the gait after stroke was altered such in the affected as in the unaffected lower limbs, mainly in the single support phase of the affected side, but also in the swing phase of the gait cycle.

The effect of upper-extremity aerobic exercise on complex regional pain syndrome type I: a randomized controlled study on subacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: UEAE made an excellent improvement in the symptoms and signs of CRPS I. Combined treatment of conventional physiotherapy and aerobic exercises may be an excellent synthesis for this syndrome in these patients. PMID: 25943440 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Review of experience with a collaborative eye care clinic in inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: Results of this study support the need for vision assessment following stroke in IPR, confirm the role of occupational therapists in vision assessment, and support the need for an optometrist as a member of the rehabilitation team. PMID: 26043286 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Validation of the Spanish version of the Trunk Impairment Scale Version 2.0 (TIS 2.0) to assess dynamic sitting balance and coordination in post-stroke adult patients.
CONCLUSION: The Spanish version of the TIS 2.0 is valid and reliable, and can be recommended for use in the evaluation of dynamic sitting balance and trunk control and coordination in future research on post-stroke patients. Guidelines for treatment and level of quality of trunk activity can be derived from its use. PMID: 26922850 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
