Sitting time and physical activity after stroke: physical ability is only part of the story.
CONCLUSIONS: Physical factors, such as walking ability, may influence sitting and activity time in people with stroke, yet much of the variance in daily sitting time remains unexplained. Large prospective studies are required to understand the drivers of activity and sitting time. PMID: 26257146 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Contributions of voluntary activation deficits to hand weakness after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Although extrinsic finger muscles could be successfully recruited electrically, voluntary excitation of these muscles was substantially limited in stroke survivors. Thus, finger weakness after stroke results predominantly from the inability to fully activate the muscle voluntarily. PMID: 26427599 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Somatosensory deficits after stroke: a scoping review.
Abstract In the past years, there have been increasing research activities focusing on somatosensory symptoms following stroke. However, as compared to the large number of clinical and neuroimaging studies on motor symptoms, the number of studies tracing somatosensory symptoms after stroke and their recovery is rather small. It is an ongoing discussion, to which extent somatosensory deficits after stroke influence patient's long-term outcome in motor and sensory performance and functional independence in activities of daily living. Modern brain imaging techniques allow for studying the impact of stroke lesion loca...

The Development of the Improving Participation after Stroke Self-Management Program (IPASS): An Exploratory Randomized Clinical Study.
CONCLUSIONS: These results provide early support for the use of IPASS to help improve self-efficacy to manage health behaviors and to improve participation post-stroke. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these findings with an active control group and a more sensitive outcome measure to capture participation changes.

Importance of squatting and sitting on the floor: perspectives and priorities of rural Indian patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Because a substantial proportion of patients with stroke identified DKF activities as very important for performing major daily activities, independent performance of squatting and sitting on the floor should be considered as one of the important rehabilitation goals for patients with stroke.

The effect of water-based exercises on balance in persons post-stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
This study examined the effect of water-based exercises compared to land-based exercises on the balance of people with sub-acute stroke. METHODS: In this single-blind randomized controlled study, 32 patients with first-time stroke discharged from inpatient rehabilitation at West Park Healthcare Centre were recruited. Participants were randomized into W (water-based + land; n = 17) or L (land only; n = 15) exercise groups. Both groups attended therapy two times per week for six weeks. Initial and progression protocols for the water-based exercises (a combination of balance, stretching, and strengthening and endur...

Changes in caregiver burden among informal caregivers of stroke patients in Mongolia.
This study aimed to define the changes in CGB in the first year of caregiving among the caregivers of stroke patients and to identify associated factors. METHODS: A prospective, multi-centered observational study was conducted in nine public hospitals in Mongolia. We used the Montgomery CGB Scale for assessing CGB, and repeated the assessment after 1 year. Stroke patient characteristics were included in the analyses. Multinomial logistic regressions were conducted to analyze changes in CGB. RESULTS: A paired t-test analysis revealed that demand burden increased (from 12.61 to 11.50, p = 0.034), whereas stress ...

The effect of self-management education following mild stroke: an exploratory randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The results did not identify a positive effect that would support the use of the CDSMP with individual's post-mild stroke; however, the generalizability of these results is limited secondary to several limitations in this exploratory study.

How does sex affect the care dependency risk one year after stroke? A study based on claims data from a German health insurance fund.
DISCUSSION: It may be assumed that women have a higher risk of becoming care-dependent after stroke than men because they are older and suffer more often from geriatric conditions such as urinary incontinence at onset of stroke. Preventive strategies should therefore focus on geriatric conditions in order to reduce the post-stroke care dependency risk for women. PMID: 28330419 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Promoting physical activity after stroke via self-management: a feasibility study.
CONCLUSION: Self-management appears to be feasible and has the potential to increase physical activity in people with mild disability after stroke. A Phase II randomized trial is warranted. PMID: 28335690 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical and psychosocial predictors of exceeding target length of stay during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that social and stroke-specific factors may be helpful to adjust LOS expectations and promote efficient resource allocation. This exploratory study was limited to findings from one inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Cross-validation of results using data-sets from multiple rehabilitation hospitals across Ontario is recommended. PMID: 28486861 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Examining a participation-focused stroke self-management intervention in a day rehabilitation setting: a quasi-experimental pilot study.
Conclusions The result shows that IPASS-R has the potential to be integrated into a day rehabilitation setting with a positive impact on community integration and perceived recovery outcomes. Future study is needed to investigate the IPASS-R with a larger sample size and more rigorous study design. PMID: 28956721 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Multimodal rehabilitation in the late phase after stroke enhances the life situation of informal caregivers.
Conclusion Engaging stroke survivors in multimodal interventions late after stroke appears to have potential to produce gains also in the general life situation of informal caregivers. PMID: 29237339 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Content validity and satisfaction with a caregiver-integrated web-based rehabilitation intervention for persons with stroke.
Conclusions The CARE-CITE intervention may be a viable program for caregivers of patients with stroke. Currently a pilot study is underway to evaluate the impact of the intervention on caregiver mental health, family conflict around stroke recovery and stroke survivor upper extremity function.

Modified Approach to Stroke Rehabilitation (MAStR): feasibility study of a method to apply procedural memory concepts to transfer training.
CONCLUSIONS: Feasibility was demonstrated for an innovative application of procedural memory concepts to stroke rehabilitation. All rehabilitation disciplines were successfully trained. MAStR was well-tolerated and liked by rehabilitation staff and patients. These results support pursuit of a Phase II pilot study. PMID: 29609504 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
