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...

Acute Occupational and Physical Therapy for COVID-19 Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus strain SARS-CoV2 (the virus causing COVID-19) a global pandemic.24 The severity of illness in those exhibiting symptoms ranges from mild (cough, shortness of breath, fatigue) to severe (acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), thrombosis, stroke, and death).4,11 Patients have also acquired acute polyradiculoneuritis (Guillain Barre syndrome) at a disproportionately high rate, contributing to functional limitations that require specialized and intensive rehabilitation.

Diagnostic accuracy of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) to estimate disability after stroke
CONCLUSION: WHODAS 2.0 demonstrated acceptable diagnostic capacity and the cutoff point of 39.62 proved suitable for distinguishing individuals with moderate/severe disability from those with no or mild disability after stroke.Implications for rehabilitationWHODAS 2.0 demonstrated acceptable diagnostic capacity.The WHODAS 2.0 cut-off point of >39.62 allows stratification of post-stroke disability into two different levels (no/mild disability versus moderate/severe disability).These results facilitate clinical decision-making by rehabilitation professionals.PMID:35672154 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2080876

The impact of a structured rehabilitation program for uninsured individuals.
Conclusions/Implication: These results support previously noted gaps in care among individuals with BI, SCI, stroke, and amputation and suggest that a monthly clinic can improve physical quality of life. This exploratory study aims to lay the foundation for future research that is needed to understand the factors that exclude these individuals from the health care system and to help key stakeholders to advocate for these patients and improve their early access to rehabilitation care.
