A qualitative study exploring patients' and carers' experiences of Early Supported Discharge services after stroke.
Conclusions:Accelerated hospital discharge and home-based rehabilitation was perceived positively by service users. The study findings highlight the need for Early Supported Discharge teams to address information and support needs of patients and carers and to monitor their impact on carers in addition to patients, using robust outcome measures.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of an ankle-foot orthosis on gait biomechanics after stroke.
Conclusions:An ankle-foot orthosis can improve the ankle and knee kinematics, kinetics and energy cost of walking in stroke survivors. PMID: 23798747 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does altering inclination alter effectiveness of treadmill training for gait impairment after stroke? A randomized controlled trial.
Conclusions:In chronic stroke patients, downhill treadmill training produces a bigger effect than uphill training. PMID: 23798746 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of a predefined mini-trampoline training programme on balance, mobility and activities of daily living after stroke: a randomized controlled pilot study.
Conclusion:A predefined mini-trampoline training programme resulted in significantly increased postural control in stroke patients compared to balance training in a group. Although not statistically significant, the mini-trampoline training group showed increased improvement in mobility and activities of daily living. These differences could have been statistically significant if we had investigated more patients (i.e. a total sample of 84 patients for the TUG, 98 patients for the 6MWT, and 186 patients for the BI).

Effect of a local vibration stimulus training programme on postural sway and gait in chronic stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.
Conclusions:These findings suggest that local vibration stimulus training programme is an effective method for improvement of the postural sway and gait ability of chronic stroke patients. PMID: 23818408 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The effect of altering a single component of a rehabilitation programme on the functional recovery of stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusion:This review provides limited evidence to support the supposition that altering a single component of a rehabilitation programme realises greater functional recovery for stroke survivors. Further investigations are required to determine the most effective single components of rehabilitation programmes, and the combinations that may enhance functional recovery.

The effects of action observational training on walking ability in chronic stroke patients: a double-blind randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion:These results suggest that action observational training is an effective method for improvement of the walking ability in chronic stroke patients. PMID: 24089434 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

EMG-triggered electrical stimulation is a feasible intervention to apply to multiple arm muscles in people early after stroke, but does not improve strength and activity more than usual therapy: a randomized feasibility trial.
Conclusions:It is feasible to apply EMG-triggered electrical stimulation to multiple muscles of the upper limb in very weak people early after stroke. However, it does not appear to improve strength or activity beyond usual arm therapy that contains strengthening. PMID: 24198342 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Exercise for depressive symptoms in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions:Exercise may be a potential treatment to prevent or reduce depressive symptoms in individuals with subacute and chronic stroke. PMID: 24535729 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Adhesive taping vs. daily manual muscle stretching and splinting after botulinum toxin type A injection for wrist and fingers spastic overactivity in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Adhesive taping of wrist and finger flexor muscles appeared to enhance the effect of botulinum toxin type A therapy more than daily manual muscle stretching combined with passive articular mobilization and palmar splint. PMID: 24917588 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of gait training with a cane and an augmented pressure sensor for enhancement of weight bearing over the affected lower limb in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled pilot study.
CONCLUSION: Gait training using a cane with an augmented pressure sensor to enhance weight bearing over the affected lower limb is beneficial and effective in improving the peak force of cane, muscle activation, and gait in stroke patients. PMID: 25009199 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Improvement in balance using a virtual reality-based stepping exercise: a randomized controlled trial involving individuals with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Virtual reality interventions can be an effective resource to enhance the improvement of balance in individuals with chronic stroke. PMID: 25056999 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy of electrical stimulation as an adjunct to repetitive task practice therapy on skilled hand performance in hemiparetic stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Repetitive task practice therapy combined with electrical stimulation can improve skilled hand performance in terms of hand motor function, skills and range of motion in stroke patients. PMID: 25125441 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy combined with trunk restraint in subacute stroke: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that mCIMT combined with trunk restraint is more helpful to improve upper-extremity function than mCIMT only in subacute stroke patients with moderate motor impairment. PMID: 25246609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of occupation-based and impairment-based occupational therapy for subacute stroke: A randomized controlled feasibility study.
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that the occupation-based approach has more potential to improve "General health" and "Role emotional" scores on the Short Form-36 than the impairment-based approach. Further investigation of study protocol with interventions and recruiting is needed prior to a larger trial. PMID: 25381345 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
