Feasibility of a Virtual-Reality-Enabled At-Home Telerehabilitation Program for Stroke Survivors: A Case Study
J Pers Med. 2023 Aug 3;13(8):1230. doi: 10.3390/jpm13081230.ABSTRACTStroke rehabilitation is a lengthy procedure that is necessary for stroke recovery. However, stroke rehabilitation may not be readily available for patients who live rurally due to barriers such as transportation and expenses. This shortage in wearable technology, in turn, causes health disparity among the rural population, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Telerehabilitation (TR) is a potential solution for stroke rehabilitation in rural areas. This one-case study aimed to examine the feasibility and safety of a technology-enabl...

Stroke survivors without early complications at long-term risk of death, stroke
(Canadian Medical Association Journal) People who survive a stroke or a mini-stroke without early complications have an increased risk of death, another stroke or heart attack (myocardial infarction) for at least five years following the initial stroke, found a new study published in CMAJ.

Gait Training after Stroke on a Self-Paced Treadmill with and without Virtual Environment Scenarios: A Proof-of-Principle Study.
Conclusions: Despite the limited potential for functional recovery from chronic stroke, an individual can achieve improvements in mobility and self-efficacy after participating in VR-coupled treadmill training, compared with treadmill training with the same intensity and surface perturbations but without VR immersion. A larger scale, randomized controlled trial is warranted to determine the efficacy of VR-coupled treadmill training for mobility intervention post-stroke.

Recurrent Stroke: The Role of Thrombophilia in a Large International Pediatric Stroke Population
CONCLUSIONS:Identifying children at increased for recurrent AIS events is important in intensifying preventative measures. Among 894 Canadian, English and German pediatric stroke patients, 17.9% experienced recurrent AIS at a median of 3.1 months after the index stroke. The presence of more than one prothrombotic risk factor is associated with AIS recurrence in childrenDisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Cognitive oriented strategy training augmented rehabilitation (COSTAR) for ischemic stroke: a pilot exploratory randomized controlled study.
Conclusion: Negligible findings may be attributed to an inadvertent treatment group equivalency. Further, the research design did not allow for adequate measurement of the effect of each intervention on participants' ability to generalize learned skills. Implications for rehabilitation Stroke rehabilitation is largely based upon the principles of task-specific training, which is associated with improvements in upper extremity motor performance; however, TST requires a heavy dosage and lacks generalization to untrained activities. Cognitive strategy use has been associated with improved generalization of treatment to untrai...

Platelet Indices as a Marker of Severity in Non-diabetic NonHypertensive Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients.
Conclusion: In patients of ischemic stroke platelet indices may be used for predicting severity of motor deficit. Although larger sample size and multivariate analysis is required before this can be used regularly in clinical practice.

Featured Review: Treating depression after stroke
Depression is common after stroke yet often is not detected or inadequately treated.Review authors from Australia, Canada, Taiwan and the UK asked, " Do pharmacological treatments, non ‐invasive brain stimulation, psychological treatments, or combination treatments reduce the proportion of people with depression or the extent of depressive symptoms after stroke? "The authors included trials that reported on the use of pharmacological, non ‐invasive brain stimulation, psychological, and combination therapy interventions to treat depression after stroke. Mean age of people included in the trials ranged from 54 to 78 year...

Protamine Reduces Serious Bleeding Complications Associated with Carotid Endarterectomy in Asymptomatic Patients without Increasing the Risk of Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, or Death in a Large National Analysis.
CONCLUSION: Protamine reduces serious bleeding complications at the time of CEA without increasing the risk of MI, stroke, or death, in this large North American analysis. Based on this and previous regional work regarding protamine use in CEA, it is believed that there is now sufficient evidence to support its routine use, and it should be considered as a benchmark for quality during CEA.

Factors Associated With Non-enrollment of Center-Based Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program Among Transient Ischemic Attack or Mild Stroke Patients: A MIXED-METHOD RETROSPECTIVE STUDY.
CONCLUSIONS: This study found that patients with TIA or mild stroke who were older, lived farther from the CRP center, or were current smokers were less likely to enroll in a CRP. The present findings may help clinicians identify patients unlikely to enroll in a CRP and allow the implementation of interventions focused on health education and physical activity to improve enrollment. Future research should validate these factors in multiple settings using prospective mixed methods so that interventions can be developed to address non-enrollment in the CRP.

Balancing Access with Technology: Comparing In-Person and Telerehabilitation Berg Balance Scale Scores among Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: The results of this study support administration of the BBS using TRH technology; this could improve access to balance assessment for stroke survivors in rural and remote communities.PMID:34456445 | PMC:PMC8370687 | DOI:10.3138/ptc-2019-0095
