Participation in leisure activities after stroke: A survey of community-residing stroke survivors in Nigeria.
CONCLUSIONS: Leisure participation was high in a general sense but marginal in recreational and productive/creative activities. The observed socio-demographic and clinical associations with post-stroke leisure participation may assist in providing effective leisure rehabilitation strategies.

Prevalence and association of visual functional deficits with lesion characteristics and functional neurological deficits in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Detailed assessment of visual function in patients with stroke can help to clarify the risk of various types of visual impairment. Moreover, as visual function assessment in patients with stroke is difficult, knowledge of the correlation of visual impairments with different neurological dysfunctions observed in stroke and lesion side will help predict vision problems and inform optimal corrective measures in treating patients with stroke.

Training in positivity for stroke? A qualitative study of acceptability of use of Positive Mental Training (PosMT) as a tool to assist stroke survivors with post-stroke psychological problems and in coping with rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: The PosMT shows potential as a tool for coping with rehabilitation and overcoming post-stroke psychological problems including anxiety and depression. PMID: 28106572 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of balance on functional independence after stroke: A cross-sectional study at rehabilitation settings in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: The goal of attaining functional independence after stroke may depend to a significant extent on good balance function irrespective of the stroke survivor's age, sex and post-stroke duration. PMID: 29660950 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects on facial dysfunction and swallowing capacity of intraoral stimulation early and late after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with intraoral stimulation significantly improved post-stroke dysfunction in all four facial quadrants, swallowing capacity, and lip force even in cases of long-standing post-stroke dysfunction. Furthermore, such improvement remained for over one year after the end of treatment. PMID: 25547771 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Factors influencing acceptance of disability among stroke patients in Tianjin, China:A cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSIONS: In clinical practice, professionals should identify patients with low levels of disability acceptance and explore effective psychological intervention model on the theoretical foundation of different dimensions in AOD theory and related predictors.

Time configuration of combined neuromodulation and motor training after stroke: A proof-of-concept study.
CONCLUSION: In cases of moderate-to-severe impairment after stroke, transcranial direct current stimulation at the start, rather than the end, of peripheral nerve stimulation prior to motor training may effect better functional outcomes. Future research with a larger sample size is needed to validate the findings of this proof-of-concept study. PMID: 27589514 [PubMed - in process]

Evaluation of gait symmetry using a tri-axial accelerometer in stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: It was clear that LI during gait was effective at evaluating gait symmetry and balance. LI was indicated to be useful in evaluating gait in patients with stroke. PMID: 29562555 [PubMed - in process]

Evaluation of body temperature in  individuals with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Healthy individuals have temperature symmetry between between sides of the body, while individuals with stroke sequelae present lower temperature in the paretic side, especially on their feet. PMID: 27935558 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-stroke acquired amusia: A comparison between right- and left-brain hemispheric damages.
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicated that stroke affecting the auditory cerebrum can cause acquired amusia with greater severity in RBD than LBD. These results supported the "valence hypothesis" of right hemisphere dominance in processing negative emotions. PMID: 28211817 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prediction of post-stroke functional mobility  from the initial assessment of cognitive function.
CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive impairment in the acute phase of stroke can be an independent prognostic factor of functional mobility. Domain-specific neuropsychological evaluation tests should be considered in the acute phase of stroke to predict the recovery of functional mobility.

Effectiveness of focal muscle vibration on hemiplegic upper extremity spasticity in individuals with stroke: A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: The FMV may an efficient intervention in reducing upper extremity spasticity in the stroke population. The efficient treatment protocol and dosage remain unclear. Additional randomized controlled trials are strongly needed to study the effects of FMV on spasticity in individuals with stroke. PMID: 31868686 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of affected lower limb flexor muscle strength with swing phase duration and gait speed in elderly post-stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke chronicity was the predictor that reduced swing phase duration. The ankle dorsiflexor muscle strength was associated with GS. However, the hip flexor muscle strength was associated with GS even after adjusting for stroke chronicity. PMID: 33136075 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
