Post-Stroke Spasticity: Predictors of Early Development and Considerations for Therapeutic Intervention
The complexities of post-stroke spasticity (PSS), and the resultant difficulties in treating the disability, present a significant challenge to patients, stroke rehabilitation teams, and caregivers. Reducing the severity of spasticity and its long-term complications may be facilitated by early intervention, making identification of stroke patients at high risk for developing spasticity essential. Factors that predict which patients are at risk for the development of PSS are identified.

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.

Effects of Attentional Loadings on Gait Performance prior to Turning in Stroke Survivors
Attentional loadings have significant impacts on turning performance in individuals with stroke. Improper gait modification prior to turning may contribute to falls after stroke. Therefore, examination of the changes in temporal-spatial gait parameters prior to turning may reveal important deficits in gait control when stroke survivors are challenged by dual-tasking.

Falls and fear of falling after stroke: a case-control study
Falls are common after stroke with potentially serious consequences. Few investigations have included age-matched controls to directly compare fall characteristics between older adults with and without stroke. Further, fear of falling, a significant psychological consequence of falls, has only been examined to a limited degree as a risk factor for future falls in a stroke population.

Comparing the Course of Mental Health over the First Year after Stroke with Healthy Controls in Colombia, South America
Stroke is a primary cause of death and disability in upper-middle income countries such as Colombia. Given the lack of comprehensive rehabilitation for stroke patients in Colombia, there is a need to assess longitudinal mental health problems post-stroke in this region.

Patient Centered Goal-setting in a Hospital-based Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Center
Goal-setting can positively impact stroke recovery during rehabilitation. Patient participation in goal formulation can ensure that personally relevant goals are set, and could result in greater satisfaction with the rehabilitation experience, and improved recovery of stroke deficits. This, however, not yet been studied in a stroke outpatient rehabilitation setting.

Patient-Centered Goal Setting in a Hospital-Based Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Center: Patient
Goal-setting can have a positive impact on stroke recovery during rehabilitation. Patient participation in goal formulation can ensure that personally relevant goals are set, and can result in greater satisfaction with the rehabilitation experience, along with improved recovery of stroke deficits. This, however, not yet been studied in a stroke outpatient rehabilitation setting.

Daily Treatment Time and Functional Gains of Stroke Patients During Inpatient Rehabilitation
Objective: To study the effects of daily treatment time on functional gain of patients who have had a stroke. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: An inpatient rehabilitation hospital (IRH) in northern California. Participants: Three hundred sixty patients who had a stroke and were discharged from the IRH in 2007. Interventions: Average minutes of rehabilitation therapy per day, including physical therapy, occupation therapy, speech and language therapy, and total treatment. Main Outcome Measures: Functional gain measured by the Functional Independence Measure, including activities of daily living, mob...

A Comparison of Two Balance Measures to Predict Discharge Performance From Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
Objective: To compare the admission Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS) in predicting outcomes at discharge from an inpatient rehabilitation unit (IRU). We hypothesized that discharge outcomes would be better predicted by (1) the PASS compared with the BBS, and (2) by the PASS changing position subscore compared with the PASS maintain posture subscore. Design: A retrospective study. Setting: An IRU in an academic medical center. Participants: Fifty-five subjects with stroke and mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 71.5 ± 13.8 years, admission functional independence measures (F...

Therapeutic Synergism in the Treatment of Post-stroke Arm Paresis Utilizing Botulinum Toxin, Robotic Therapy, and Constraint-induced Movement Therapy
Botulinum toxin type A (BtxA) injection, constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), and robotic therapy (RT) each represent promising approaches to enhance arm motor recovery after stroke. To provide more effective treatment for a 50-year-old man with severe left spastic hemiparesis, we attempted to facilitate CIMT with adaptive approaches to extend the wrist and fingers using RT for 10 consecutive weeks after BtxA injection. This combined treatment resulted in substantial improvements in arm function and the amount of arm use in activities of daily living, and may be effective for stroke patients with severe arm paresis.

Mirror movements after stroke suggest facilitation from non primary motor cortex: a case report
We present a case of an apparently healthy 54-year-old male presenting MMs in his left (non-dominant) hand. Further evaluation revealed diminished strength and dexterity in left hand, increased spinal excitability, decreased corticospinal excitability, occurrence of ipsilateral motor responses, enlarged cortical motor representation and imaging findings consistent with a previously undiagnosed right-subcortical stroke.
