A study of prisms and therapy in attention loss after stroke (SPATIAL): A feasibility randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible and acceptable to conduct a high-quality definitive trial of prism adaptation training within occupational therapy early after stroke in usual care setting, but difficult to justify given no sign of benefit over standard occupational therapy.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: https://www.isrctn.com/ Ref ISRCTN88395268.PMID:36285484 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221134060

The Falls Efficacy Scale International is a valid measure to assess the concern about falling and its changes induced by treatments
CONCLUSIONS: Falls Efficacy Scale International ordinal scores can be turned into interval measures, i.e. measures of the type of temperature. Being differential item functioning-free for treatment, these measures can be safely used to compare concern about falling before and after rehabilitation, such as when interested in assessing the rehabilitation effectiveness.PMID:34821159 | DOI:10.1177/02692155211062110

Factors influencing the amount of therapy received during inpatient stroke care: an analysis of data from the UK Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme.
CONCLUSION: The amount of stroke therapy is associated with unmodifiable patient-related characteristics and modifiable organizational factors in that more therapy was associated with higher therapy and nurse staffing levels, specialist stroke rehabilitation services, timely therapy assessments, and the presence of weekend and early discharge services.

Effects of pressure garment on spasticity and function of the arm in the early stages after stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Wearing a pressure garment on the arm for 6 hours daily had no effect in controlling spasticity or on improving arm function in the early stages after stroke. PMID: 32037862 [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]

A controlled pilot trial of two commercial video games for rehabilitation of arm function after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Patients were positive to using video games in rehabilitation. A sample size of 72 patients (24 per group) would be appropriate for a full study. PMID: 25322868 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Virtual reality for upper extremity rehabilitation in early stroke: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion:Although additional VR training was not superior to conventional therapy alone, this study demonstrates the feasibility of VR training in early stroke. PMID: 24803644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
