Changes in hemodynamic responses during movements of the upper extremities in the acute phase after stroke: A fNIRS study
This study aimed to assess the time course of both hemodynamic patterns of cortical motor areas using functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and functional recovery during the first months after stroke. Unaffected upper limb movements-related contralateral motor areas activity showed no significant changes. Material/patients and methods Eight right-handed first ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke patients (60±8 yrs, 3 female and 5 men) with mild to severe hemiparesis were examined with fNIRS measurements and functional motor recovery (Fugl-Meyer score) tests every two weeks during two months (five sessions). We investigate...

Validation of a French version of the upper limb Erasmus Modified Nottingham Sensory Assessment with stereognosis (EmNSA-S) component in patients with stroke
The objective was to develop a French version of the Erasmus modified Nottingham Sensory Assessment with stereognosis component (EmNSA-S) for evaluation of the UL among adults with stroke. Material/patients and methods It was a monocentric prospective observational cross-sectional design study. The study consisted of two phases including (i) instrument translation, and (ii) validation phase with establishment of the concurrent criterion-related validity, internal consistency, intra and inter-rater reliability and minimal detectable change with 95% confidence interval (MDC95). French version of the EmNSA-S for UL was develo...

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.

Association of abnormal muscle tone and motor dysfunction in chronic stroke
ConclusionsThe prevalence of increased tone was higher in this study than in previous reports. Increased muscle tone in chronic stroke survivors with persistent motor dysfunction could be associated with impaired motor control and differential muscle strength of antagonistic muscles.

Bi-cephalic transcranial direct current stimulation combined with functional electrical stimulation for upper-limb stroke rehabilitation: a double-blind randomized controlled trial
Conclusions. Concurrent bi-cephalic tDCS and FES slightly improved reaching motor performance and handgrip force of individuals with moderate and severe UL impairment 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.

Monoaminergic drugs for motor recovery after ischemic stroke
Publication date: Available online 24 September 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): F. Chollet , J. Tardy , J.-F. Albucher , N. Raposo , B. Acket , V. Sattler , J. Pariente , I. Loubinoux Today, administering rTPA thrombolytic therapy within the first hours of a stroke is the only validated drug therapy for improving the spontaneous – and most of the time incomplete – recovery of neurological functions post-stroke. However in the past decade, thanks in part to the considerable advances of neuroimaging techniques, we have learned that spontaneous recovery of neurological functions w...

Feasibility of a self-rehabilitation program for the upper limb for stroke patients in Benin
Discussion and conclusion Self-rehabilitation programs are feasible and inexpensive as they do not involve a therapist. It is then a promising approach in stroke rehabilitation, particularly in developing countries, where rehabilitation costs are usually supported by patients.

Similarities and differences in perception of disability between patients after a stroke and general practitioners, a pilot study
Discussion GP have a good perception of the troubles of their patients, except for the romantic and sexual relationships, as well as group hobby. This involves coordination between PRM and GP in order to improve the assessment of PR and the environment of post-stroke patients.

Post-acute referral of stroke victims in a French urban area: Results of a specific program
Conclusion Patients that were assessed were more likely to be transferred to specialized rehabilitation units than to non-specialized rehabilitation units. The Post-Acute Stroke program has the particularity of combining private and public specialized rehabilitation units in a common collaborative referral system while retaining the control and flexibility of personalised referral for each patient in the light of local care availability.
