Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) and motor recovery after stroke
Publication date: Available online 23 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): M. Simonetta-Moreau Recovery of motor function after stroke occurs largely on the basis of a sustained capacity of the adult brain for plastic changes. This brain plasticity has been validated by functional imaging and electrophysiological studies. Various concepts of how to enhance beneficial plasticity and in turn improve functional recovery are emerging based on the concept of functional interhemispheric balance between the two motor cortices. Besides conventional rehabilitation interventions and the most...

Bodyweight-supported treadmill training for retraining gait among chronic stroke survivors: A randomized controlled study
Conclusion BWSTT offers improvement in gait but has no significant advantage over conventional gait-training strategies for chronic stroke survivors.

Effect of visuospatial neglect on spatial navigation and heading after stroke
Conclusion The ipsilesional bias arising from VSN influences the modulation of heading in response to obstacles and, along with the adoption of the “riskier” strategies, contribute to the higher number colliders and poor goal-directed walking abilities in stroke survivors with VSN. Future research should focus on developing assessment and training tools for complex locomotor tasks such as obstacle avoidance in this population.

Adding electrical stimulation during standard rehabilitation after stroke to improve motor function. A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionElectrical sensory input can contribute to routine rehabilitation to improve early post-stroke lower-extremity impairment and late motor function, with no change in spasticity. Prolonged periods of sensory stimulation such as TENS combined with activity can have beneficial effects on impairment and function after stroke.

Effect of high-intensity exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness in stroke survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions. Our meta-analysis suggests that high-intensity exercise is beneficial for cardiorespiratory fitness in stroke survivors and might be safe as a novel intervention in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation after stroke.

Clinical non-superiority of technology-assisted gait training with body weight support in patients with subacute stroke: A meta-analysis
Conclusions. TAGT with BWS was not superior to COT in improving post-stroke recovery in patients with subacute stroke. Strategies other than simply increasing the repetitions by external assistance may be considered to augment the treatment effects of TAGT.

Effect of subtypes of neglect on functional outcome in stroke patients
Conclusions Our data confirm the negative prognostic effect of neglect on functional outcome in a large sample. We also show the importance of evaluating and training according to neglect subtype to improve functional independence.

Determinants of sit-to-stand tasks in individuals with hemiparesis post stroke: A review
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): Amira Boukadida , France Piotte , Patrick Dehail , Sylvie Nadeau Background and purpose The ability to rise from a chair to reach a standing position is impaired after stroke. This paper aims to review for the first time the factors that impact the ability to rise from a chair and identify recommendations for post-stroke rehabilitation. Methods In order to analyse relevant scientific publications (French and English), the search terms “stroke”, “rehabilitation” and “sit-to-stand” (STS and its varia...

Changes in transcranial magnetic stimulation outcome measures in response to upper-limb physical training in stroke: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Conclusions The current evidence encourages the use of TMS outcome measures, especially MEP latency and map area to investigate plastic changes in the brain after upper-limb physical training post-stroke. However, more studies involving rigorous and standardized TMS procedures are needed to validate these observations.

Effect of isokinetic hip flexors strength training on walking in persons with subacute stroke: Feasibility study
Discussion – conclusion These early results seem to indicate a beneficial effect of isokinetic hip flexors strengthening protocol in subacute stroke gait rehabilitation. Those results must be confirmed in further studies.
