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.

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.

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as An Early Predictor of Poststroke Dysphagia
Despite the availability of multiple, comprehensive screening methods to detect dysphagia during acute stroke care, consensus is lacking as to the best practice. Our previous study demonstrated favorable sensitivity of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) compared with a bedside 3-sip test. However, the FIM is challenging to administer during acute stroke care. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is administered routinely in the emergency department.

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?

Test-Retest Reliability of the ABILHAND Questionnaire in Persons With Chronic Stroke
Conclusion: The ABILHAND Questionnaire is reliable in persons with chronic stroke and can be recommended to evaluate recovery, rehabilitation interventions, and changes over time in a group of individuals but is less suitable for a single individual.

Balancing Burdens and Benefits: Ethical Issues of Off-Label Prescription Pharmaceutical Use
I remember when Botox (Allergen, Irvine, CA) was becoming all the rage in rehabilitation in the mid 1990s. As I recall, the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved uses at the time were for spasmodic torticollis and blepharospasm. In a short period of time, however, Botox was the new treatment du jour for adults and children alike with spasticity from CP, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and stroke. I also remember feeling a bit queasy about it. Perhaps having recently completed a fellowship in clinical medical ethics colored my view. Images of thousands of people with limb deficiencies, the tragic consequence ...

Risk Factors for Discharge to an Acute Care Hospital From Inpatient Rehabilitation Among Stroke Patients
Conclusion: Based on this research, we identified specific medical and functional health risk factors in the stroke population that affect the rate of discharge to an acute-care hospital. With active medical and functional management, early identification of these critical components may lead to the prevention of stroke patients from being discharged to an acute-care hospital from the inpatient rehabilitation setting.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Abductor Hallucis Focal Dystonia With Botulinum Toxin Injection: A Case Presentation
Orthopedic foot deformities can result from neurologic conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy . In such cases, imaging studies of the foot are often not diagnostic of the underlying problem. Although it is not always considered, electrodiagnostic assessment can detect dystonia, spasticity, and neuropathy . The information gained from these electrodiagnostic studies can guide therapy, including medical and surgical management. This case study describes the successful evaluation and treatment of abducted hallux deformity by using electrodiagnostic testing and botulinum injection treatment.
