Adherence of stroke patients with an online brain training program: the role of health professionals' support.
Conclusions The overall adherence of stroke patients with a brain training was low and there are some implications that systematic, regular interaction with a supervisor can increase training adherence of stroke patients with a restitution-focused intervention performed at home.

Effects of a 12-month task-specific balance training on the balance status of stroke survivors with and without cognitive impairments in Selected Hospitals in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria.
CONCLUSIONS:  Within the groups, a 12-month TSBT intervention significantly improved balance control, respectively, but with broader effects in the CIG than NCIG. Importantly, though between-group comparison at baseline revealed significantly impaired balance control in the CIG than NCIG, these differences were not significant at the 8th month and non-existent at the 12th month of TSBT intervention. These results underscore the robustness of TSBT to evenly address specific balance deficits of stroke survivors with and without CI within a long-term rehabilitation plan as was hypothesized.

Surviving a stroke in South Africa: outcomes of home-based care in a low-resource rural setting.
Conclusions: Clinical practice pathways and referral guidelines should be developed for the HCBC platform. Specific training of CHWs, focusing on how to educate, support and train family caregivers, provide assistive devices and refer to health services is needed.

Therapeutic interventions for aphasia initiated more than six months post stroke: a review of the evidence.
CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence to support the use of a number of treatments for chronic aphasia post stroke. Further research is required to fully support the use of these interventions and to explore the effectiveness of other aphasia interventions in the chronic stage.

Cardiovascular conditioning for comfortable gait speed and total distance walked during the chronic stage of stroke: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Cardiovascular conditioning resulted in clinically relevant gains in walking distance of over 100 m post treatment on the 6MWT when initiated during the chronic stage of stroke. These results demonstrate that individuals in the chronic stage of stroke can still benefit from interventions to improve gait and mobility. This has important implications for outpatient and community-based programs. PMID: 23192710 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Does robot-assisted gait rehabilitation improve balance in stroke patients? A systematic review.
Abstract The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the improvements in balance after robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in stroke patients. Two databases were searched: PubMed and Web of Knowledge. The most important key words are "stroke," "RAGT," "balance," "Lokomat," and "gait trainer." Studies were included if stroke patients were involved in RAGT protocols, and balance was determined as an outcome measurement. The articles were checked for methodological quality by 2 reviewers (Cohen's κ = 0.72). Nine studies were included (7 true experimental and 2 pre-experimental studies; methodological quality ...

Individualized treadmill and strength training for chronic stroke rehabilitation: effects of imbalance.
Discussion: These findings suggest that a protocol combining treadmill with strength training has beneficial long-term effects on functional walking measures after chronic stroke, especially in patients who initially have low balance ability. PMID: 24722041 [PubMed - in process]

Playing piano can improve upper extremity function after stroke: case studies.
The objective of this pilot study was to estimate the short- and long-term effects of a 3-week piano training program on upper extremity function in persons with chronic stroke. A multiple pre-post sequential design was used, with measurements taken at baseline (week0, week3), prior to (week6) and after the intervention (week9), and at 3-week follow-up (week12). Three persons with stroke participated in the 3-week piano training program that combined structured piano lessons to home practice program. The songs, played on an electronic keyboard, involved all 5 digits of the affected hand and were displayed using a user-frie...

Motor and sensory effects of ipsilesional upper extremity hypothermia and contralesional sensory training for chronic stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of immersion hypothermia on the ipsilesional UE in association with sensory training of the contralesional UE improved motor function and sensitivity in the contralesional UE of individuals with chronic stroke. Immersion hypothermia of the ipsilesional UE in chronic stroke patients is a safe, practical, inexpensive, and easily applied technique. PMID: 25776120 [PubMed - in process]

Effect of task-oriented training for people with stroke: a meta-analysis focused on repetitive or circuit training.
CONCLUSIONS: Task-oriented training interventions are useful for improving muscle strength and gait related activities in both acute/sub-acute and chronic stroke patients. Although this meta-analysis provides evidence of task-oriented training for improving functioning after stroke, further studies are necessary to investigate the effects of training on upper extremities and the overall cost-effectiveness of such training.

Effects of weight-shift training on walking ability, ambulation, and weight distribution in individuals with chronic stroke: a pilot study.
CONCLUSION: Weight-shift training seems to improve gait and ambulation in subjects with chronic stroke, but not with standing weight distribution. However, this pilot study has several limitations and a larger sample size with a control group is necessary. PMID: 25921061 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Error augmentation as a possible technique for improving upper extremity motor performance after a stroke - a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the studies reviewed have significant methodological drawbacks that resulted in equivocal results. Therefore, we recommend that additional randomized controlled trials, with larger sample sizes and acceptable protocols be conducted to determine the long-term efficacy of EA training.

Cross-education of strength has a positive impact on post-stroke rehabilitation: a systematic literature review.
CONCLUSION: Based on best evidence synthesis guidelines the combination of the results included in this review suggest at least a moderate level of evidence for the application of cross-education of strength in stroke rehabilitation. Following this review it is recommended that additional high quality randomized controlled trials are conducted to further support the findings. PMID: 26907193 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
