Predicting independence of gait by assessing sitting balance through sitting posturography in patients with subacute hemiplegic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Sitting posturography parameters is clinically useful because they can quantitatively assess post-stroke balance and neurological impairment and predict post-stroke independence of gait even when patients cannot reach their arms forward or stand upright.

Time to rethink long-term rehabilitation management of stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a robust evidence-base for stroke rehabilitation interventions in chronic stroke. This research synthesis reveals a paradox, whereby an impressive evidence-base contrasts with the limited optimism and resources available for rehabilitation in chronic stroke. PMID: 23192711 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Can high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and ferritin predict functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke? A prospective study.
Conclusion: This study revealed that neither hs-CRP nor ferritin levels could predict functional disability 3 months after stroke onset. FIM, FAS, and NIHSS scores were more useful in predicting functional outcome 3 months after stroke onset than the laboratory markers evaluated in this study. PMID: 24273300 [PubMed - in process]

Health-Related Quality of Life Trajectories over the First Year after Stroke in Colombia, South America.
CONCLUSIONS The current findings suggest a need in Latin America for mental health services after stroke, as well as other interventions designed to increase social and family support, which may thereby improve mental health. PMID: 26883905 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Nottingham Fatigue After Stroke (NotFAST) study: results from follow-up six months after stroke.
Conclusions Half the stroke survivors reported fatigue at six months post-stroke. Reduced independence in activities of daily living and higher anxiety levels were associated with the level of fatigue. Persistent and delayed onset fatigue may affect independence and participation in rehabilitation, and these findings should be used to inform the development of appropriate interventions.

Trajectories of positive aspects of caregiving among family caregivers of stroke-survivors: the differential impact of stroke-survivor disability.
Conclusions Care professionals should be mindful of the heterogeneity in the longitudinal pattern of positive feelings resulting from care provision among family caregivers of stroke-survivors, and the differential impact of stroke-survivor disability on the pattern of positive feelings. Younger caregivers as well as family caregivers who have low positive feelings at the start of their caregiver journey and experience worsening functional disability of their care recipient (stroke-survivor) require greater attention and support.

Factors affecting rehabilitation and use of upper limb after stroke: views from healthcare professionals and stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that stroke survivors and healthcare professionals have very similar understandings of barriers to UL activity, and positive upper limb rehabilitation behaviors are not always established early in recovery post-stroke. Increased resources and healthcare professional-patient relationships seem key factors to establishing positive perceptions of UL rehabilitation. Addressing psychosocial issues and resource limitations may help sustain engagement with UL rehabilitation. PMID: 30422096 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Assessment of backward walking unmasks mobility impairments in post-stroke community ambulators.
CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of BW can unmask post-stroke walking impairments not detected during typical FW. BW impairments may contribute to the mobility difficulties reported by adults post-stroke. Therefore, BW should be assessed when determining readiness for home and community ambulation. PMID: 31081491 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Muscle changes after stroke and their impact on recovery: time for a paradigm shift? Review and commentary.
Abstract In stroke rehabilitation there is a growing body of evidence that not all patients have the same potential to recover. Understanding the processes that give rise to the heterogeneous treatment responses in stroke survivors will lay foundations for any conceivable advance in future rehabilitation interventions. This review was set out to shine new light on the debate of biomarkers in stroke rehabilitation by linking fundamental insights from biogerontological sciences to neurorehabilitation sciences. In particular, skeletal muscle changes and inflammation are addressed as two potential constructs from whic...

Balance is associated with quality of life in chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: In the chronic stroke population, balance impairment and fall risk are associated with lower QOL scores. If balance can be improved and maintained into the chronic phases of stroke, it is likely that individuals will benefit with improved QOL. PMID: 23893833 [PubMed - in process]

Evaluating stroke patients' awareness of risk factors and readiness to change stroke risk-related behaviors in a randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion: Stroke patients' unprompted recall of risk factors and performance of risk-related behaviors improved over time; readiness to change risk-related behaviors progressed for some behaviors. A brief educational intervention did not improve risk factor awareness or behavior change more than usual care. PMID: 24722044 [PubMed - in process]

Objective fall risk detection in stroke survivors using wearable sensor technology: a feasibility study.
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors reported high acceptability of 48 hours of continuous PAMSys monitoring. The use of in-home wearable technology may prove useful in monitoring fall risk and gait in stroke survivors, potentially enhancing recovery. PMID: 26382725 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Motivation, expectations, and usability of a driven gait orthosis in stroke patients and their therapists.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke user group patients seem quite motivated to train with the DGO and both patients and therapists reasonably believe that this training could improve gait functioning. Therapists are moderately satisfied with the usability of the DGO, but there is room for improvement with respect to usefulness and ease of use. PMID: 27996894 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Gender differences in physical activity and health-related behaviors among stroke survivors: data from the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
CONCLUSION: In order to reduce noted gender disparities in physical activity following stroke, more focused effort to increase physical activity in women, especially with lower socioeconomic status, has to be considered. PMID: 28326897 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-stroke hemiparesis: Does chronicity, etiology, and lesion side are associated with gait pattern?
CONCLUSION: In order to recruit a more homogeneous sample, more accurate results were obtained and an appropriate rehabilitation program was offered, researchers and clinicians should consider that gait pattern might be associated with time since stroke, affected cerebral hemisphere and lesion etiology.
