Genetic Variation and Neuroplasticity: Role in Rehabilitation After Stroke.
Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In many neurologic diagnoses, significant interindividual variability exists in the outcomes of rehabilitation. One factor that may impact response to rehabilitation interventions is genetic variation. Genetic variation refers to the presence of differences in the DNA sequence among individuals in a population. Genetic polymorphisms are variations that occur relatively commonly and, while not disease-causing, can impact the function of biological systems. The purpose of this article is to describe genetic polymorphisms that may impact neuroplasticity, motor learning, and recovery a...

Outcome Measure Scores Predict Discharge Destination in Patients With Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review and Series of Meta-analyses
Conclusion: Outcome measure scores are strong predictors of discharge destination among patients with stroke and provide an objective means of early discharge planning. Discharge decisions should be made with consideration for patient-specific biopsychosocial factors that may supersede isolated results of the outcome measures, and further research needs to assess the success of the location that a patient is referred at discharge.

Building a Bridge to the Community - An Integrated Knowledge Translation Approach to Improving Participation in Community-Based Exercise for People after Stroke.
Conclusion: Data from this study support the necessity for the community sector to offer a continuing service in partnership with the health system and people with chronic health needs. It indicates the potential of clinicians to partner with people with chronic health conditions and empower them to improve participation in relevant health behaviors, like community-based exercise.

Safety and efficacy of recovery-promoting drugs for motor function after stroke: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials.
CONCLUSION: Candidate drug interventions promoting motor recovery post-stroke were identified, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and levodopa; however, the high risk of bias in many trials is concerning. Drugs to improve motor function remain an important area of enquiry. Future research must focus on establishing the correct drug intervention to be administered at an optimal dose and time, combined with the most effective adjuvant physical therapy to drive stroke recovery.

Every person is an individual: physical therapist clinical reasoning used in inpatient rehabilitation for walking assistive device prescription in patients with stroke and brain injury.
Conclusions: Results from this study revealed complexity in the clinical reasoning process used in physical therapy practice to determine the best walking assistive device for patients with stroke and brain injury during inpatient rehabilitation. Information from this study can inform post-acute physical therapy practice and education, and may reduce device abandonment. Implications for rehabilitation Clinical reasoning (CR) is a complex process in which a clinician must consider multiple factors, which requires non-linear and iterative thinking, and involves many people, making it shared among the patient, caregivers, and...

Ultrasound imaging of upper extremity spastic muscle post-stroke and the correlation with function: A pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: An objective method of quantifying spasticity can assist in determining if functional gains made post stroke are due to compensations in movement, or due to physiological changes. Ultrasound imaging may be used as an alternative to the Modified Ashworth score to quantify muscular parameters in spastic muscles post stroke. PMID: 31498134 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Depth Sensor-Based Assessment of Reachable Work Space for Visualizing and Quantifying Paretic Upper Extremity Motor Function in People with Stroke.
Conclusions. The RWS assessment showed sufficient validity, reliability, and responsiveness in people with hemiparetic stroke. A depth sensor-based RWS evaluation is useful for visualizing and quantifying paretic UE motor function in the clinical setting. PMID: 32048724 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Enriched, Task-Specific Therapy in the Chronic Phase After Stroke: An Exploratory Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Enriched, task-specific therapy may provide durable benefits across a wide spectrum of motor deficits and impairments after stroke. Although the results must be interpreted cautiously, the findings have implications for enriching strategies in stroke rehabilitation.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A304).

Standing Balance Strategies and Dual-Task Interference Are Differentially Modulated Across Various Sensory Contexts and Cognitive Tests in Individuals With Chronic Stroke
Conclusions: Standing balance enhancement (higher equilibrium score/better balance) depends on the neuropsychological process targeted and the sensory input available post-stroke. Cognitive dual-task interference emerged for the verbal fluency test during the most attention demanding sensory condition. Cognitive tests that enhance standing balance should be considered in assessments and interventions to evaluate and improve dual-tasking post-stroke.

Low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation in subacute ischemic stroke: Number of sessions that altered cortical excitability.
CONCLUSION: The pattern of recovery after stroke is extensive and not all factors could be controlled. Application of LF-rTMS in conjugation with a selected physical therapy program for the upper limb from four to eight sessions seems to be efficient. PMID: 33136077 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationships Between Stepping-Reaction Movement Patterns and Clinical Measures of Balance, Motor Impairment, and Step Characteristics After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Movement patterns of stepping reactions poststroke were influenced by the initiating leg. After stroke, specific movement patterns showed associations with clinical measures depending on the initiating leg, suggesting that these movement patterns are important to retraining of stepping reactions. Specifically, use of flexion patterning and assessment of between-leg pattern differentiation may be important aspects to consider during retraining of stepping reactions poststroke. IMPACT: Evidence-based interventions targeting balance reactions are still in their infancy. This investigation of stepping reactio...
