IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 4747: Use of Virtual Reality and Videogames in the Physiotherapy Treatment of Stroke Patients: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
rasco A stroke is a neurological condition with a high impact in terms of physical disability in the adult population, requiring specific and effective rehabilitative approaches. Virtual reality (VR), a technological approach in constant evolution, has great applicability in many fields of rehabilitation, including strokes. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of a traditional neurological physiotherapy-based approach combined with the implementation of a specific VR-based program in the treatment of patients following rehabilitation after a stroke. Participants (n = 24) diagnosed with a stroke in the last ...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 2286: Relationships between Self-Efficacy and Post-Stroke Activity Limitations, Locomotor Ability, Physical Activity, and Community Reintegration in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Cross-Sectional Study
atcho Stroke self-efficacy is under-investigated in sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, studies focusing on the relationship between self-efficacy and post-stroke functional outcomes are scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the association between self-efficacy and post-stroke activity limitations, locomotor ability, physical activity, and community reintegration in Benin, a sub-Saharan African country. To achieve this purpose, a selection of stroke patients was made from the admission registers of the physiotherapy clinics (rehabilitation units) of three reference hospitals in Benin from January to April...

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...

Effectiveness of hospital-based low intensity and inspected aerobic training on functionality and cardiorespiratory fitness in unconditioned stroke patients: Importance of submaximal aerobic fitness markers
Introduction: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low-to moderate intensity aerobic training on cardiorespiratory functions in chronic unconditioned stroke patients. The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and the ventilatory threshold (VO2-VT) could represent the aerobic capacity in submaximal test. Our study examined the application of the submaximal parameters for evaluating aerobic capacity of chronic stroke patients. Materials and methods: In our assessor-blinded controlled pilot study 37 patients were randomized into 2 groups named: intervention group (IG, n: 21) and control gro...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 9112: Measured and Perceived Effects of Upper Limb Home-Based Exergaming Interventions on Activity after Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
andigout After discharge from the hospital to home, stroke patients may experience weakness and reduced movement in their hemiparetic arms that limits their ability to perform daily activities. Therapists can use exercise games (exergames) to maintain functional abilities and daily use of the arm at home. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the efficiency of upper limb home-based rehabilitation, using exergaming on activity abilities in stroke. Randomized controlled trials were reviewed in the CENTRAL, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and SCOPUS online databases. Clinical measures of o...

Electrical stimulation of the brain may help people who stutter
When Guillermo Mejias was 7 years old, his parents sent him out to buy bread during a family holiday in southern Spain. Mejias still remembers his growing anxiety as he walked to the bakery, repeating what he would say over and over in his head. But when the moment arrived, he was unable to produce a single word. He recalls returning empty-handed, ashamed, and wondering what to tell his parents. “I was so tense that I had been inadvertently biting my cheeks and tongue and my mouth was bleeding,” he says. Mejias still stutters, but today, as a brain researcher at the Complutense University of Madrid, he investigate...

Cost-effectiveness of upper extremity dry needling in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke
DISCUSSION: Cost-effectiveness with responder rate results were favourable for the DN group and were confirmed by the sensitivity analysis according to levels of care. In addition, our findings revealed that 4 weeks of treatment could be more cost-effective than 8 weeks. DN treatment of the upper extremity appears to be cost-effective based on the rate of responders measured using the MMAS scale.PMID:34856821 | DOI:10.1177/09645284211055750

A feasibility study into the effectiveness of a cue intervention, to increase physical activity levels in ambulatory chronic stroke
Purpose: Physical inactivity is the second highest population-attributable risk factor for stroke, following hypertension. Continuity of care, resources and information available to help adapt to life after stroke, following discharge from hospital is poor. Physiological and psychological changes further contribute to physical inactivity, and only a small proportion make full recovery. Frequently breaking up prolonged sitting with physical activity or standing can improve cardiometabolic health and reduce occurrence of stroke.

Effectiveness of autogenic relaxation training in addition to usual physiotherapy on emotional state and functional independence of stroke survivors
Discussion: The expected main study outcome is an enhanced evidence-based physiotherapy program that may be used by physiotherapists in the rehabilitation of stroke patients with emotional disturbances. Trial registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, ACTRN12619001664134 (last updated on 28/11/2019).
