Interventions for reducing sedentary behaviour in people with stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Sedentary behaviour research in stroke seems important, yet the evidence is currently incomplete, and we found no evidence for beneficial effects. Current World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend reducing the amount of sedentary time in people with disabilities, in general. The evidence is currently not strong enough to guide practice on how best to reduce sedentariness specifically in people with stroke. More high-quality randomised trials are needed, particularly involving participants with mobility limitations. Trials should include longer-term interventions specifically targeted at reducing tim...

P-006 The 'hub-spoke telemedicine model in a large cohort of stroke patients
ConclusionTele-stroke networks have proven to be a pivotal development in the treatment of strokes, especially those that are remote. With the additional expertise and the shorter duration from onset to diagnosis to treatment, these networks have substantially improved patient care and decreased healthcare costs, avoiding unnecessary transfers from spoke hospitals to hub.Abstract P-006 Figure 1Abstract P-006 Figure 2Disclosures K.

Oxidative Stress and Pathophysiology of Ischemic Stroke: Novel Therapeutic Opportunities.
Abstract Stroke is the second leading cause of death, after ischemic heart disease, and accounts for 9% of deaths worldwide. According to the World Health Organization [WHO], 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year. Of these, more than 6 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Reactive oxygen species [ROS] have been implicated in brain injury after ischemic stroke. There is evidence that a rapid increase in the production of ROS immediately after acute ischemic stroke rapidly overwhelm antioxidant defences, causing further tissue damage. These ROS can damage cellular macromolecules ...

Psychiatric comorbidity and quality of life in patients with post-stroke emotional incontinence.
CONCLUSION: PSEI causes some aspects of psychiatric distress and negatively affects psychological and interpersonal quality of life. For patients with PSEI, special attention to psychiatric comorbidity and quality of life is needed, even in the acute stage of stroke. PMID: 24474987 [PubMed]

Activities and participation after stroke: validity and reliability of the Turkish version of IMPACT-S questionnaire.
CONCLUSION: The Turkish version of the IMPACT-S is a valid and reliable questionnaire for evaluating activities and participation in patients with stroke. Implications for rehabilitation Patients with stroke experience difficulties across multiple participation domains, such as major life areas and community life. The screener part of the IMpact on Participation and ACTivities (IMPACT-S) questionnaire is the only measure that accurately reflects The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) sections and appears a promising outcome measure in rehabilitation research. The Turkish version of the...

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) and the WHO Minimal Generic Set of Domains of Functioning and Health versus Conventional Instruments in subacute stroke.
CONCLUSION: Despite their brevity, both generic ICF-based tools seemed useful in finding disabilities for patient- and family-centred goal-setting and service-planning after subacute rehabilitation. PMID: 31402390 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Development and validation of the World Health Organization disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) Indonesian version in stroke survivors
CONCLUSIONS: The WHODAS 2.0 was adapted for use in Indonesia and showed good results for all six domains. Therefore, the Indonesian version of the WHODAS 2.0 can be applied to assess disability in Indonesian stroke survivors.Implications for rehabilitationThe WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) was developed as a single, generic instrument for assessing the health status and disability in different cultures and settings.In this study, we adapted and validated an Indonesian version of the WHODAS 2.0 for stroke survivors in Indonesia.The WHODAS 2.0 was adapted for use in Indonesia and showed good results for ...

Swallowing therapy for dysphagia in acute and subacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate- and low-quality evidence suggests that swallowing therapy did not have a significant effect on the outcomes of death or dependency/disability, case fatality at the end of the trial, or penetration aspiration score. However, swallowing therapy may have reduced length of hospital stay, dysphagia, and chest infections, and may have improved swallowing ability. However, these results are based on evidence of variable quality, involving a variety of interventions. Further high-quality trials are needed to test whether specific interventions are effective.

Global, regional, and national burdens of ischemic heart disease and stroke attributable to exposure to long working hours for 194 countries, 2000-2016: A systematic analysis from the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury
CONCLUSIONS: WHO and ILO estimate exposure to long working hours (≥55 hours/week) is common and causes large attributable burdens of ischemic heart disease and stroke. Protecting and promoting occupational and workers' safety and health requires interventions to reduce hazardous long working hours.PMID:34011457 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2021.106595

WHO Systematic Assessment of Rehabilitation Situation (STARS): A systematic review on the status of stroke rehabilitation in India
AbstractPurpose of reviewTo provide a 'Systematic Assessment of the Rehabilitation Situation' (STARS) on stroke rehabilitation in India in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) STARS guidelines. Understanding the current status will help in planning of future policy and development activities.Recent FindingsThe available stroke rehabilitation data from India is deficient. While the incidence of stroke is 33 to 295.9 per year per 100,000 people (in a country of 1.2 billion), there are about 1000 physiatrists and only 150 designated rehabilitation facilities. Among them almost 40% patients are moderate to sever...

Robot-Assisted Arm Training in Stroke Individuals With Unilateral Spatial Neglect: A Pilot Study
Conclusion: Our findings provide preliminary support for introducing robot-assisted arm training to remediate unilateral spatial neglect after stroke. The training program focusing on neglect of contralateral space and affected upper extremity may be effective in neglect symptoms, motor function recovery, and social participation, while not generalizing into improvements in activities of daily living.Clinical Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn/) on 17 October 2019, identifier: ChiCTR1900026656.

A study in persons later after stroke of the relationships between social participation, environmental factors and depression.
CONCLUSIONS: Depression and social participation are inversely related. The physical environment, services/assistance, attitudes/support, and policies all impact post-stroke depression. PMID: 27060096 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
