The use of shoulder orthoses post-stroke: effects on balance and gait. A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: So far no strong evidence is available regarding a potential benefit of wearing an arm sling on balance and gait for stroke patients. However, further research with longer intervention periods, can be useful to determine if stroke patients in the early phases after stroke or with persistent UL paresis might possibly benefit from wearing an arm sling.

Redefining a minimal assessment protocol for stroke rehabilitation: the new "Protocollo di Minima per l'ICtus" - PMIC2020
CONCLUSIONS: The PMIC2020 provides an updated tool for the multidimensional rehabilitation assessment of the stroke patient, at any stage of the rehabilitation pathway; it aims to provide a shared minimum set of variables defining patient's needs and outcomes across different rehabilitation facilities and settings.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The PMIC2020 identifies patient's needs, outcomes, and predictors of response to specific interventions in Stroke rehabilitation and provide ground for a highly needed Stroke Registry.PMID:34042407 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.21.06638-7

Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of pressure pain threshold assessment in stroke patients
CONCLUSIONS: PPT assessment with good or excellent reliability can be used in stroke patients. Neither of the two sides (affected or unaffected) affects PPT reliability, and intra-rater reliability is better than inter-rater reliability. In addition, gender, stroke type, and motor function can affect the reliability of measuring mechanical pain threshold in post-stroke survivors.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The pressure algometer can be used as a reliable and portable tool to assess the mechanical pain tolerance and sensory function in stroke patients in clinics.PMID:35362718 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.22.07378-6
