Association between volume of patients undergoing stroke rehabilitation at acute care hospitals and improvement in activities of daily living
Stroke is one of the most common causes of functional disability, and rehabilitation plays a vital role in treating acute stroke.1,2 In recent years, it has been reported that early rehabilitation and the amount of rehabilitation intervention, including treatment at a stroke care unit (SCU), contribute to the improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) in acute stroke rehabilitation.3,4 Stroke rehabilitation requires multi-disciplinary intervention, including physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy, and it is believed that the quality of rehabilitation depends on the level of rehabilitation expertise of healthca...

Early speech-language rehabilitation for stroke patients during the Covid-19 outbreak
This article emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high standard quality of care for patients with acute stroke even if usual practices will have to be modified. Authors include rehabilitation as an integral part of stroke recovery. We strongly support this position: in this letter we would like to share our experience of delivering. speech-language rehabilitation for stroke inpatients during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Does the NRS Capture Changes in Communication during Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation?
In Ontario, the National Rehabilitation Reporting System (NRS) is mandated for use as a measurement of change for stroke patients after admission to and discharge from rehabilitation. The NRS includes the functional independence measure (FIM) and supplementary measurement items developed by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). Uncertainty exists regarding the efficacy of the NRS as the sole measure of outcome for communication in stroke rehabilitation patients. The use of additional speech-language pathology outcome measurement tools for this population has therefore been suggested.

Effectiveness of Intensive Rehabilitation Therapy on Functional Outcomes After Stroke: A Propensity Score Analysis Based on Japan Rehabilitation Database
This study was a retrospective cohort study. From the database, 6875 patients who were admitted to the convalescent rehabilitation wards with stroke were identified. After excluding 4586 patients, 2325 were eligible for the study. Intensive rehabilitation therapy (IRT) was defined as rehabilitation therapy of more than 15 hours per week by a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, and/or a speech therapist.

Cardiovascular Responses Associated with the Moving Beans Task: Influence of Psychological Characteristics
High blood pressure (BP) after stroke is associated with a poor outcome. However, exercise training or speech therapy for patients with stroke can raise the BP. The aim of this study was to examine cardiovascular responses during the moving beans task (MBT) used in occupational therapy and to study the influence of psychological characteristics on cardiovascular responses during this task in healthy subjects.

Factors Influencing Oral Intake Improvement and Feeding Tube Dependency in Patients with Poststroke Dysphagia
Objective: To assess ischemic stroke patients regarding the relationship between lesion locations, swallowing impairment, medical and demographic factors and (1) oral intake improvement and (2) feeding tube dependency at discharge from their acute hospital stay. Methods: We conducted an exploratory, retrospective observational longitudinal cohort study of acute, first-ever, ischemic stroke patients. Patients who had an initial nonoral feeding recommendation from a speech and language pathologist and who underwent a modified barium swallow study within their hospital stay were included.
