No difference between noxious and innocuous thermal stimulation on motor recovery of upper extremity in patients with acute stroke: a randomized controlled trial with 6-month follow-up
Thermal stimulation (TS) have been developed and incorporated in stroke rehabilitation. However, whether noxious and innocuous TS induce the same effects on motor function recovery after stroke is still unknown. A comparative study of different temperature combination regimens is needed.

Functional Reach, Depression Scores and Number of Medications are Associated with Number of Falls in People with Chronic Stroke
Falls are a common adverse event among people with stroke. Previous studies investigating risk of falls after stroke have relied primarily on retrospective fall history ranging from 6-12 months recall, with inconsistent findings.

A single trial may be used for measuring muscle strength with dynamometers in individuals with stroke: A cross-sectional study
The mean of three trials is commonly employed to report measures of muscle strength after a stroke. However, only a single trial showed to provide consistent and reliable results regarding dynamometric measures of grip, pinch, and trunk strength in individuals with stroke. Nevertheless, there were not found any studies that investigated whether only a single trial could also be used for the assessment of strength of the upper and lower-limb muscles.

Use of the Berg Balance Scale to predict independent gait after stroke: A study of an inpatient population in Japan
To examine whether the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) on admission and changes in it after one month predict the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) walking level 6 or 7 (modified independent and independent gait respectively) after 3 months and to determine the optimal BBS cut-off score for predicting independent gait among inpatients with first stroke in a rehabilitation facility.

Assessment of Spasticity With Sonoelastography Following Stroke: A Feasibility Study
To investigate the feasibility of sonoelastography to show muscle stiffness in post-stroke spasticity, and the relationship between sonoelastography findings and muscle architecture features and clinical spasticity scores in the spastic gastrocnemius.

The Effects of Combination of Robot-Assisted Therapy with Task-Specific or Impairment-Oriented Training on Motor Function and Quality of Life in Chronic Stroke
Robot-assisted therapy (RT) is a promising intervention for stroke rehabilitation. RT hybridized with therapist-mediated therapy (eg, RT plus task-specific or impairment-oriented training) may possibly yield functionally relevant improvements. Comparative study of the different combination regimens is needed.

Ultrasonographic Evaluation for the Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Gastrocnemius Muscle Spasticity in Patients with Chronic Stroke
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been suggested as a useful treatment for spasticity in patients with stroke. To data, most studies used clinical or biomechanical assessments to determine the effects of treatment.

The Analgesic Effect of Abobotulinum and Incobotulinum Toxins Type A in Central Poststroke Pain: Two Case Reports
The International Association for the Study of Pain defines central pain as “pain initiated or caused by primary lesion or dysfunction of the central nervous system” [1]. If it results from a stroke, it is referred to as central poststroke pain (CPSP) [1]. CPSP prevalence reports vary from 8% to 46% [3-5]. This wide variation is possibly related to the heterogeneity of stroke lesions between the populations surveyed, differences in study design, and different timing of evaluations after stroke [6].

Ask the Authors
Your study made progress toward the development of a mortality prediction model for stroke patients, using a national VA data set. How would such a prediction model be helpful for PM&R or other physicians for determinations of appropriate post-acute levels of care for stroke patients?

Functional Outcomes of Adults with Left Ventricular Assist Devices Receiving Inpatient Rehabilitation
This study included 11 patients with an implanted LVAD who required acute inpatient rehabilitation. All the patients with LVADs were included irrespective of the initial admitting diagnosis. Nine patients were admitted for cardiac diagnoses and underwent LVAD placement before their transfer to the IRU; 2 patients received LVADs before this hospital admission and were admitted for stroke. Methods: Demographic, clinical, and functional data were abstracted. Acute care length of stay (LOS), IRU LOS, and discharge disposition, along with IRU Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores, were analyzed. Main Outcome Measureme...
