A Randomized Trial Investigating the Influence of Strength Training on Quality of Life in Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that there was an improvement in the measures of strength in EG, and that there was a correlation between improvements in strength and quality of life in these patients who had previously suffered a stroke at least one year prior to study.

The relationship of plantar cutaneous sensation and standing balance post-stroke.
DISCUSSION: The present results suggest that plantar cutaneous sensation deficits contribute to balance impairment post-stroke. The monofilament cutoff score may help clinicians determine whether impaired plantar cutaneous sensation is a contributing factor to a patient's balance deficits.

Efficacy of a Virtual Reality Commercial Gaming Device in Upper Limb Recovery after Stroke: A Randomized, Controlled Study.
CONCLUSION(S): Twelve sessions of augmented upper limb exercises via NW gaming or conventional therapy over a 3-week period was not effective in enhancing upper limb motor recovery compared to control.

The effects of treadmill walking combined with obstacle-crossing on walking ability in ambulatory patients after stroke: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Treadmill walking combined with obstacle-crossing training may help improve the walking ability of patients with hemiplegic stroke and can possibly be used as an adjunct to routine rehabilitation therapy as a task-oriented practice based on community ambulation.

Are virtual reality technologies effective in improving lower limb outcomes for patients following stroke - a systematic review with meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: VR improves functional balance and various aspects of gait in chronic populations. Evidence also suggests that VR is just as effective as conventional therapy, hence its' use in practice is determined by affordability, and patient/practitioner preferences.

Validating accelerometry as a measure of physical activity and energy expenditure in chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Our revised cut points better reflect activity levels after stroke and suggest significantly lower thresholds relative to those observed for the general population of healthy individuals. We conclude that the standard, commonly applied Actical thresholds are inappropriate for this unique population.

Determining the potential benefits of yoga in chronic stroke care: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Yoga may be effective for ameliorating some of the long-term consequences of stroke. Large well-designed RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.

Skeletal muscle changes following stroke: a systematic review and comparison to healthy individuals.
CONCLUSIONS: Age-related differences support the impact of stroke-related sarcopenia as a contributor to hemiparetic muscle dysfunction. Understanding these muscular changes is necessary for designing appropriate exercise interventions aimed at restoring muscle function.

Effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on upper extremity motor recovery in the early period after stroke: a preliminary study.
CONCLUSION: LF-rTMS with or without NMES seems to facilitate the motor recovery in the paretic hand of patients with acute/subacute ischemic stroke. TMS or the combination of TMS + NMES may be a promising additional therapy in upper limb motor training. Further studies with larger numbers of patients are needed to establish their effectiveness in upper limb motor rehabilitation of stroke.

Motor recovery in post-stroke patients with aphasia: the role of specific linguistic abilities.
CONCLUSIONS: Motor function at admission resulted as the variable that most affects the motor recovery of post-stroke patients with aphasia after rehabilitation. A linguistic test requiring also non-linguistic abilities, including attention and working memory (i.e. Token test) is an independent predictor as well.

Validation and reliability of the Spanish version of the Function in Sitting Test (S-FIST) to assess sitting balance in subacute post-stroke adult patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The S-FIST is valid and reliable and can be recommended for use in the evaluation of dynamic and sitting balance and trunk control in future research and clinical practice on post-stroke patients. Guidelines for treatment and level of quality of trunk activity can be derived from its use.

Staying married after stroke: a constructivist grounded theory qualitative study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight that marriages are contexts in which survivors and spouses can recalibrate their role-identities. Marriage relationships are not peripheral to survivors' and spouses' outcomes after stroke; rather, marriage is fundamental to the management of impairments and to the well-being of the couple.

Comparison of the Mini-Balance Evaluations Systems Test with the Berg Balance Scale in relationship to walking speed and motor recovery post stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The Mini-BESTest has a greater discriminative ability than the BBS to categorize individuals with stroke into slow and fast walkers.

Beliefs of rehabilitation professionals towards guided self-rehabilitation contracts for post stroke hemiparesis.
Conclusions The strategy of asking patients to perform exercises alone, in the practice or at home, is still not accepted by a large proportion of physical therapy professionals as compared with students or with physicians. Most therapists still see a <5-h weekly duration of exercise as sufficient after stroke. Few therapists are ready to utilize the persistence of behavior-induced brain plasticity regardless of age or delay after the lesion.

Changes in gait and plantar foot loading upon using vibrotactile wearable biofeedback system in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: There were signs of improved foot loading characteristics and gait upon provision of instant vibrotactile biofeedback of plantar force. The positive results of this study further support the development of wearable biofeedback devices for improving gait of patients with stroke.
