Sleep problems worsen health-related quality of life and participation during the first 12  months of stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: Self-reported poor sleep adversely effects post-stroke functional recovery. PMID: 32602376 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of the introduction of objective criteria for referral and discharge in physical therapy for ischemic stroke in China: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Introduction of a set of rules for referral and therapy input at different stages of rehabilitation partially improved patients' ADL and quality of life, but did not improve motor function. PMID: 31875687 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The comparative efficacy of theta burst stimulation or functional electrical stimulation when combined with physical therapy after stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION:: A four-week intervention with TBS or FES combined with PT produces better long-term arm functions as compared to PT alone in patients with acute stroke. PMID: 30618285 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Constraining movement reveals motor capability in chronic stroke: An initial study.
CONCLUSION: Constraining the treadmill walking path altered the gait patterns among the study's participants. The immediate change during constrained walking suggests that patients with chronic stroke may have underlying movement capability that they do not preferentially utilize.

Creative art therapy to enhance rehabilitation for stroke patients: A randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Creative art therapy combined with conventional physical therapy can significantly decrease depression, improve physical functions and increase quality of life compared with physical therapy alone. PMID: 26396163 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Full-movement neuromuscular electrical stimulation improves plantar flexor spasticity and ankle active dorsiflexion in stroke patients: A randomized controlled study.
CONCLUSIONS: Full-movement neuromuscular electrical stimulation with a stimulus intensity capable of generating full movement can significantly reduce plantar flexor spasticity and improve ankle active dorsiflexion, but cannot decrease walking time in the Timed Up and Go Test in sub-acute stroke patients.

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]

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]
