Health-Related Quality of Life Trajectories over the First Year after Stroke in Colombia, South America.
CONCLUSIONS The current findings suggest a need in Latin America for mental health services after stroke, as well as other interventions designed to increase social and family support, which may thereby improve mental health. PMID: 26883905 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patient reported outcomes of hand function three years after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Patients can perceive limitations on several domains with respect to hand function 2-5 years after stroke. Problems related to the appearance of the hand and satisfaction with hand function can be relevant and should be considered accordingly. Persistent hand problems after stroke are related to a more severe, supratentorial stroke in lower educated patients. PMID: 29025365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Fatigue and pain: relationships with physical performance and patient beliefs after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Fatigue and pain are common after stroke and are negatively correlated with outcomes important to rehabilitation. Efforts focused on examining the impact of interventions on fatigue and pain are warranted. It is possible that changes to these body structure limitations could positively impact functional recovery and community re-entry after stroke. PMID: 23893834 [PubMed - in process]

The impact of pain on health-related quality of life 3 months after stroke.
CONCLUSION: The presence and intensity of pain have significant negative effects on HRQoL in stroke survivors. Interventions for pain could make a valuable contribution to improving HRQoL in stroke survivors. PMID: 25906672 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Early clinical predictors of post-stroke spasticity.
Conclusions: Besides evaluating PSS itself with a reliable and valid rating scale the common clinical scales in stroke units practice (NIHSS, MRS, MMSE) allow early identification of patients at high risk for PSS. PMID: 33156735 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Evidence for therapeutic interventions for hemiplegic shoulder pain during the chronic stage of stroke: a review.
CONCLUSIONS: Positive outcomes were noted with the use of corticosteroid injections and electrical stimulation and conflicting results were seen regarding the use of BTx-A. Overall, these targeted therapies provide benefit in the treatment of HSP in individuals who are more than 6 months post stroke. PMID: 23192716 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

The impact of lower extremity pain conditions on clinical variables and health-related quality of life in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Since lower extremity pain conditions have a significant important influence on clinical variables and health-related quality of life in stroke survivors, early identification and appropriate treatment of the lower extremity pain conditions should be carried out in order to reduce the level of disability in stroke patients.

Characteristics of the shoulder in patients following acute stroke: a case series.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the severity of upper limb motor impairment, pain and reduced PROM were seen in a small number of participants. The clinical course of shoulder pain and PROM following stroke remains unclear. Large observational studies tracking shoulder characteristics from acute through to rehabilitation settings are needed.

Participation in the chronic phase of stroke.
Conclusions: Most participants experienced participation problems, despite relatively good physical recovery. In addition to physical and cognitive factors, subjective complaints of persons with stroke should be addressed in the rehabilitation program. PMID: 23340071 [PubMed - in process]

Long-term use of a static hand-wrist orthosis in chronic stroke patients: a pilot study.
Conclusions. These pilot data suggest that a number of stroke patients cannot tolerate a static orthosis over a long-term period because of discomfort. Without appropriate treatment opportunities, these patients will remain at risk of developing a clenched fist and will experience problems with daily activities and hygiene maintenance. PMID: 23533961 [PubMed]

Plaque Echolucency and Stroke Risk in Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The presence of ultrasound-determined carotid plaque echolucency provides predictive information in asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis beyond luminal stenosis. However, the magnitude of the increased risk is not sufficient on its own to iden tify patients likely to benefit from surgical revascularization.

Efficacy of adhesive taping as an adjunt to physical rehabilitation to influence outcomes post-stroke: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary evidence in the domain of body function and structure suggests that use of rigid adhesive tape as an adjunct may increase the number of pain-free days at the shoulder. Evidence for the improvement of pain intensity, range of motion, muscle tone, strength, or function with taping is inconclusive. The evidence related to activity and participation is insufficient. The use of adhesive taping post-stroke needs further and more rigorous research to compare the types, methods and dosage of taping. PMID: 25776123 [PubMed - in process]

The effect of upper-extremity aerobic exercise on complex regional pain syndrome type I: a randomized controlled study on subacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: UEAE made an excellent improvement in the symptoms and signs of CRPS I. Combined treatment of conventional physiotherapy and aerobic exercises may be an excellent synthesis for this syndrome in these patients. PMID: 25943440 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Perceived Unmet Rehabilitation Needs 1 Year After Stroke: An Observational Study From the Swedish Stroke Register Brief Reports
Conclusions— Unfulfilled rehabilitation needs 1 year poststroke are common and associated with high age, dependency, pain, and depression. Long-term follow-up systems should, therefore, be comprehensive and address multiple domains of poststroke problems, rather than having a single-domain focus.
