Assistive Technology utilization among stroke survivors in Kano, Northwest Nigeria: a cross-sectional study
This study investigated the prevalence, pattern, and satisfaction with AT utilization in stroke survivors (SS). The study was conducted in two hospitals in Kano, Nigeria. The QUBEC user evaluation of satisfaction with AT (QUEST) questionnaire and the Rivermead Mobility Index were used to assess satisfaction with AT utilization and mobility, respectively. Pearson correlation and independent t-test were used to determine the relationship and gender difference among the outcomes, respectively. A total of 280 SS participated; however, only 115 (41.07%) were AT users. The commonly used AT was wheelchair 84 (73%), while the leas...

Current Evidence on the Impact of Medicare Payment Policy on Stroke Rehabilitation in Skilled Nursing Facilities
AbstractPurpose of ReviewPatients recovering from stroke benefit from frequent, multi-disciplinary therapies in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). As a major driver of spending, rehabilitation in SNFs is vulnerable to scrutiny from payers including Medicare. This review explored impacts of current payment programs (Patient Driven Payment Model, Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced, Accountable Care Organizations, and Medicare Advantage) on access and outcomes of rehabilitation in SNFs after stroke.Recent FindingsThere is minimal SNF payment research specific to stroke. For the general Medicare population, payment...

Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: Virtual Stroke Rehabilitation Interim Consensus Statement 2022
The seventh edition of the Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations for Rehabilitation and Recovery following Stroke includes a new section devoted to the provision of virtual stroke rehabilitation. This consensus statement uses Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations methodology and Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II principles. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. An expert writing group reviewed all evidence and developed recommendations, as well as consensus-based clinical considerations where evidence was insufficient for a r...

Managing the transition from hospital to home after stroke: A patient and care partner guide to facilitate discharge planning
A stroke is a sudden event that occurs with no warning. When you have a stroke you and your care partner can sometimes feel scared or overwhelmed by all the changes that may happen when you go home. It is a good idea to start getting ready to go home as early as you can. There is a lot to think about. Setting goals and making a step-by-step plan to accomplish your goals will make it easier.1

Regional cerebral blood perfusion changes in chronic stroke survivors as potential brain correlates of the functional outcome following gamified home-based rehabilitation (IntelliRehab) —a pilot study
Hospital-based stroke rehabilitation for stroke survivors in developing countries may be limited by staffing ratios and length of stay that could hamper recovery potential. Thus, a home-based, gamified rehabil...

The effect of a home-based coaching program on heart rate variability in subacute stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial
Autonomic imbalance in stroke is characterized by increased sympathetic activity and reduced vagal nerve activity. Physical activity could be a strategy to counteract autonomic control impairments after a stroke. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect on heart rate variability of a 6-month coaching program in a home setting in subacute stroke patients. Eighty-four stroke patients participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. The intervention was a coaching program, consisting of physical activity, home visits and a weekly phone call. Patients were evaluated ...

Readmission to an Acute Care Hospital During Inpatient Rehabilitation After Stroke
Objective
The aim of the study was to identify causes for readmission to acute care of patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation facility after stroke.
Design
The institutional Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation database was used to identify stroke patients who experienced readmission to acute care and an equal number of age-/sex-matched group of patients who successfully completed their inpatient rehabilitation facility stay during 2005–2018. Retrospective chart review was used to extract clinical data. The two study groups were compared using univariate and multivariate analyses.

Using Machine Learning to develop a short-form measure assessing 5 functions in patients with stroke
This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning based short measure (the ML-5F) to assess 5 functions (activities of daily living (ADL), balance, upper extremity (UE) and lower extremity (LE) motor function, and mobility) in patients with stroke.Design: Secondary data from a previous study. A follow-up study assessed patients with stroke using the Barthel Index (BI), Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS), and Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) at hospital admission and discharge.

Gait parameters assessed with inertial measurement unit during 6-minute walk test in people after stroke
Gait impairments are among the main issues for stroke survivors as they are often linked with a lack of endurance capacity, balance impairments and functional limitations. These conditions can be carefully assessed by combining an endurance capacity test, the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), with the analysis of gait performed by an inertial measurement unit (IMU). We investigated the evolution of gait spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters during the 6MWT and compared it with age-matched healthy subjects. Moreover, gait parameters and 6MWT distance were associated with clinical outcome scales. In a postacute rehabilitation gen...

Neuropsychological rehabilitation, neuroimaging and neuroplasticity: A clinical commentary
NeuroRehabilitation. 2021 Aug 13. doi: 10.3233/NRE-218024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInitial brain imaging studies on recovery of motor functioning after stroke suggested their potential prognostic value in neurorehabilitation. However, the value of brain imaging in documenting brain changes associated with cognitive and behavioral treatment effects seem less likely. Also, neuroimaging studies at that time seem to have little, if any, value for treatment planning. Advances in neuroimaging technology are beginning to challenge these initial impressions. In this clinical commentary, we propose that advances in the field ...
