In the first 3 months after stroke is progressive resistance training safe and does it improve activity? A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS There was no evidence reported that PRT is unsafe in people within the first 3 months after stroke, although there was a lack of reporting about adverse events. The lack of demonstration of effect in improving muscle strength and activity suggests there is insufficient evidence to recommend the prescription of PRT for people within the first 3 months after stroke.

The efficacy of treadmill training on balance dysfunction in individuals with chronic stroke: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: This review recognized moderate evidence in favor of TT interventions in balance and stroke rehabilitation programs. With TT, intensity may be a more critical factor than specificity and may offer additional carryover to recovery parameters of postural control and balance, beyond gait performance. It is recommended that clinicians utilizing TT incorporate objective measures of balance to assess the potential for skill transference and improvements in balance. Higher quality studies and additional research are needed to denote critical parameters by which improvements in balance may be optimized. PMID: 286...

Effects of constraint-induced movement therapy for lower limbs on measurements of functional mobility and postural balance in subjects with stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that two weeks of treadmill gait training associated to home-based exercises can be effective to improve postural balance and functional mobility in subacute stroke patients. However, the load addition was not a differential factor in intervention. PMID: 28859603 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Transport mobility 5  years after stroke in an urban setting.
Conclusions Five years post-stroke, mobility problems were the dominant barrier reported when using transport modes. Individualized transport training is needed during rehabilitation to increase possibility to participate. Infrastructure and transportation planning should focus on older, women, and people with impairments to be able to facilitate the use of public transport and mobility.

A longitudinal study of computerized cognitive training in stroke patients - effects on cognitive function and white matter.
Conclusions While white matter microstructure related to baseline cognitive function in stroke patients, the study revealed no effect on cognitive functions or microstructural changes in white matter in relation to computerized working memory training.

A narrative review of gait training after stroke and a proposal for developing a novel gait training device that provides minimal assistance.
CONCLUSION: The proposed minimal assistance strategy may help to design better devices for gait or other motor training. PMID: 29718796 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effect of intensive motor training with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on upper limb motor function in chronic post-stroke patients with severe upper limb motor impairment.
Conclusions The present results suggest that intensive motor training with low-frequency rTMS could improve motor impairment in chronic post-stroke patients with severe upper limb motor impairment and contribute to the expansion of the application range of this combination therapy.

Clinical application of backward walking training to improve walking function, balance, and fall-risk in acute stroke: a case series.
Conclusions: In a diverse patient population early after stroke, individuals successfully participated in an additional BW training program. Despite the patients' acuity and severe impairments in walking, significant gains in balance and walking function were noted. This program may be useful in improving outcomes with patient characteristics commonly seen in IR. PMID: 31311448 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Resistance training for gait speed and total distance walked during the chronic stage of stroke: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis demonstrated that providing lower limb resistance training to community-dwelling individuals who are 6 months post stroke has the capacity to improve comfortable gait speed and total distance walked. PMID: 23192712 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Medial Premotor Cortex Shows a Reduction in Inhibitory Markers and Mediates Recovery in a Mouse Model of Focal Stroke Basic Sciences
Conclusions— We conclude that with training, AGm can reorganize after a focal motor stroke and serve as a new control area for prehension. Reduced inhibition may represent a marker for reorganization or it is necessary for reorganization to occur. Our mouse model, with all of the attendant genetic benefits, may allow us to determine at the cellular and molecular levels how behavioral training and endogenous plasticity interact to mediate recovery.

Employment after stroke: report of a state of the science symposium.
Abstract For many stroke survivors, returning to work becomes an important emotional and functional milestone in signaling recovery. It can also provide needed financial support and reduce the burden placed on society in the form of government assistance. The complex nature of the return-to-work process involves many factors that may support or interfere with reintegration into the workforce. For the purpose of examining this important topic more closely, the Rehabilitation Research & Training Center on Enhancing the Functional and Employment Outcomes of Individuals Who Experience a Stroke held a State of the ...

Do improvements in balance relate to improvements in long-distance walking function after stroke?
Authors: Awad LN, Reisman DS, Binder-Macleod SA Abstract Stroke survivors identify a reduced capacity to walk farther distances as a factor limiting their engagement at home and in community. Previous observational studies have shown that measures of balance ability and balance self-efficacy are strong predictors of long-distance walking function after stroke. Consequently, recommendations to target balance during rehabilitation have been put forth. The purpose of this study was to determine if the changes in balance and long-distance walking function observed following a 12-week poststroke walking rehabilitation p...
