Physical activity in chronic home-living and sub-acute hospitalized stroke patients using objective and self-reported measures.
CONCLUSIONS: In HOM significantly more steps were performed and higher EE values were measured. However, participation in moderate activities and time spent on therapy were less in HOM. Evaluating PA with quantitative measures is feasible in both chronic home-living and sub-acute hospitalized patients with stroke.

External validity of post-stroke interventional gait rehabilitation studies.
CONCLUSIONS: The external validity of a substantial number of intervention studies about rehabilitation of gait post-stroke appears to be limited by exclusivity of the samples as well as by deficiencies in ecological validity of the interventions. These limitations are not accurately reflected in the titles or abstracts of the studies.

Handwriting performance versus arm forward reach and grasp abilities among post-stroke patients, a case-control study.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the clinical observation that dexterity skills are more damaged than are arm forward reach after a stroke. However, these differences in motor performance were not significant in mildly disabled patients, demonstrating the feasibility of handwriting rehabilitation in these patients. Therefore, we modestly recommend focusing on handwriting rehabilitation of the hemiparetic upper extremity in mildly impaired patients after a stroke.

The impact of lower extremity pain conditions on clinical variables and health-related quality of life in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Since lower extremity pain conditions have a significant important influence on clinical variables and health-related quality of life in stroke survivors, early identification and appropriate treatment of the lower extremity pain conditions should be carried out in order to reduce the level of disability in stroke patients.

Exercise after Stroke: Patient Adherence and Beliefs after Discharge from Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: Patient adherence with HEP after discharge from rehabilitation is less than ideal. Reasons for non-adherence are varied. Rehabilitation therapists need to be able to identify and help patients manage barriers to HEP adherence to promote management of residual deficits.

Exploratory factor analysis of the reintegration to normal living index in a stroke population.
CONCLUSIONS: Previous factor analyses on the RNLI utilizing general disability samples commonly report a two-factor solution. Our data support the presence of a single factor solution across the RNLI within a large sample comprised exclusively of stroke survivors. This suggests that the RNLI acts as more of a unitary measure of quality of life within a stroke sample relative to other disabled samples.

Independence and cognition post-stroke and its relationship to burden and quality of life of family caregivers.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest the need for health interventions aimed not only at stroke patients, but also at their family caregivers, given the association between the burden and the low levels of quality of life of the caregivers.

Promoting physical activity in hospitalized patients with mild ischemic stroke: a pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: Promoting PA by enhancing self-efficacy may increase PA and self-efficacy for PA in hospitalized patients with mild ischemic stroke. The present results might provide new strategies of PA promotion in these hospitalized patients.

Post-acute hospital healthcare services for people with mild stroke: a scoping review.
CONCLUSION: Further development and assessment of services is warranted. Incorporation of the entire transition period, and research that is mild stroke and location-specific is advised. Attention to maximizing participation in daily life, secondary prevention, emotional well-being, and careful reporting is needed.

Analysis of muscle fiber conduction velocity during finger flexion and extension after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: One explanation for reduced MFCV may be a type-II to type-I muscle fiber, especially in extrinsic extensors. Clinically, therapists may use this information to develop therapeutic exercises targeting loss of type-II fiber in extensor muscles.

Identification of the components associated with functioning using the international classification of functioning, disability and health comprehensive core set for stroke in Indian stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: The results show a reduction in frequencies in ICF activities and participation categories corresponding to basic activities of daily living. Categories corresponding to employment and social integration showed little or no improvement.

Fidelity to a motivational interviewing intervention for those with post-stroke aphasia: a small-scale feasibility study.
This study aimed to explore the feasibility of motivational interviewing (MI) in people with post-stroke aphasia.
METHODS: In a small-scale feasibility study, consecutive patients admitted to an acute stroke ward were screened for eligibility. People with moderate to severe aphasia were eligible. Those consenting received an intervention consisting of up to eight MI sessions delivered twice per week over four weeks. Sessions were modified using aids and adaptations for aphasia. Session quality was measured using the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC) to assess MI fidelity.
RESULTS: Three consenting pati...

Hemispatial neglect following right hemisphere stroke: clinical course and sensitivity of diagnostic tasks.
Conclusions Joint consideration of stroke severity, functional difficulties, and patients' insight into neglect provides new knowledge to increase clinicians' recognition of HN. More extensive studies are needed to validate bedside screening with star cancellation and figure copying.

The feasibility of an acute high-intensity exercise bout to promote locomotor learning after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: An acute high-intensity exercise bout that could be incorporated into a neurorehabilitation learning-specific session and results in substantial exercise-induced responses is feasible post-stroke.

The economic cost of stroke-associated pneumonia in a UK setting.
Conclusions SAP increased acute care costs for stroke by approximately 80%. This provides further impetus for research aimed at reducing SAP, and will inform cost-effectiveness analyses of potential therapeutic strategies.
