Transcranial direct current stimulation in post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation: a systematic review
ConclusionEvidence from published peer reviewed literature is effective for post stroke aphasia rehabilitation at the chronic stages. tDCS devices are easy to use, safe and inexpensive. They can be used in routine clinical practice by speech therapists for aphasia rehabilitation. However, further studies should investigate the effectiveness in the sub-acute post-stroke phase and determine the effect of the lesion for precisely identifying the targeted brain areas. We discuss crucial challenges for future studies.

Inertial measurement unit compared to an optical motion capturing system in post-stroke individuals with foot-drop syndrome
Conclusions. IMU-based reconstruction algorithms were effective in measuring ankle dorsiflexion with small biases and good ICCs in adults with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke presenting foot-drop. The precision obtained is sufficient to observe the fatigue influence on the dorsiflexion and therefore to use IMUs to adapt FES.

Validity of wearable actimeter computation of total energy expenditure during walking in hemiparetic stroke patients
Conclusions. This new method based on the energy cost and distance estimated by wearable devices provided better energy expenditure estimates for the pedometer than did the manufacturer’s algorithm. The validity of this method depended on the accuracy of the sensor to measure the distance walked by an individual after stroke.

Effect of chronic stretching interventions on mechanical properties of muscles in patients with stroke: a systematic review
Conclusion. Long interventions involving high stretching volumes and/or loads may have effects on muscle/joint mechanical properties, for preventing/treating contractures after stroke injury, but need to be further explored before firm conclusions are drawn.

Stem cells and motor recovery after stroke
Publication date: Available online 28 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): I. Loubinoux , B. Demain , C. Davoust , B. Plas , L. Vaysse In stroke patients with severe persistent neurological deficits, alternative therapeutic modalities are limited. Stem cell therapy might be an opportunity when the safety profile of this approach will be achieved. This review will give possible mechanisms of restoration of function in animals and a statement of clinical trials in humans. The sources of neural stem cells for therapeutic use will be detailed. Potentials mechanisms of transplanted cell...

An update on predicting motor recovery after stroke
Publication date: Available online 27 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): C.M. Stinear , W.D. Byblow , S.H. Ward Being able to predict an individual's potential for recovery of motor function after stroke may facilitate the use of more effective targeted rehabilitation strategies, and management of patient expectations and goals. This review summarises developments since 2010 of approaches based on clinical, neurophysiological and neuroimaging measures for predicting individual patients’ potential for upper limb recovery. Clinical assessments alone have low prognostic accuracy. ...

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...

Language screening test in the acute phase of post-stroke aphasia associated with clinical outcome
Discussion These results underline the importance of tests in the acute phase of stroke, both in terms of the prediction of recovery, better than severity in the acute phase, and the clinical evolution of aphasia.

Effect of tendon vibration on upper limb motor recovery with subacute hemiplegia after a stroke: A case report
We report the effect of tendon vibrations of the elbow and wrist flexor muscles on recovery of the upper limb in a recent hemiplegic patient. Observation A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our department for right hemiplegia and aphasia after a left middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke and a left cerebellar infarct secondary to cardiac arrhythmia. Initial NIHSS 22/44. Motor function on upper limb was limited to slight abduction and elevation of the shoulder, slight flexion of the wrist and elbow. The initial Functional Independence Measure score was 38/126. Intensive classical reeducation was started with little progress ...

Low cost objective diagnosis of learned non-use of the paretic arm after a stroke using Kinect technology
Discussion This LNU score measured by Kinect was similar to that measured by Zebris, so we consider Kinect to be accurate enough to measure maladaptive trunk compensation. This LNU score could also be implemented in Kinect video games stroke neurorehabilitation. In the near future, patients could benefit from using low cost Kinect system in their own homes for rehabilitation and to assess their progress.

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.
