Mirror therapy with neuromuscular electrical stimulation for improving motor function of stroke survivors: A pilot randomized clinical study.
CONCLUSION: MT combined with NMES may effectively improve muscle strength and balance in hemiplegic stroke survivors. However, further studies are necessary to demonstrate brain reorganization after MT combined with NMES. PMID: 26890230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Assessment of the measurement properties of the post stroke motor function instruments available in Brazil: a systematic review.
Conclusion The flaws observed in both cross-cultural adaptation process and testing measurement properties make the results inconclusive on the validity of the available instruments. Adequate procedures of cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties of these instruments are strongly needed. PMID: 26982452 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Reactive Stepping After Stroke: Determinants of Time to Foot Off in the Paretic and Nonparetic Limb.
CONCLUSIONS: Unique stroke-related impairments of dynamic balance control and limb-load asymmetry may differentially influence paretic and nonparetic reactive step TFO, in response to a loss of balance. The amplitude of the perturbation influences reactive step TFO in both limbs. The results of the current study have implications for the future development of standardized clinical assessment methodologies and training strategies to evaluate and remediate reactive stepping and reduce fall risk.

A Further Step to Develop Patient-Friendly Implementation Strategies for Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation in Patients With Acute Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Levels of difficulty and enjoyment during VR-based rehabilitation differed depending on the phases of recovery and training mode. Therefore, graded implementation strategies for VR-based rehabilitation are necessary for overcoming patient-perceived difficulty and enhancing enjoyment. Ease of following the directions might be best considered in the very early stage, whereas multisensory feedback may be more necessary in the later stage. Health professionals should also find a way for patients to avoid pain during training. Feedback, such as knowledge of results and performance, should be used appropriately. ...

Associations Between Sensorimotor Impairments in the Upper Limb at 1 Week and 6 Months After Stroke
Conclusions: : This study showed that somatosensory impairments are common and suggests that the association with upper limb motor and functional performance increases with time after stroke.

Alterations in Aerobic Exercise Performance and Gait Economy Following High-Intensity Dynamic Stepping Training in Persons With Subacute Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: High-intensity stepping training may elicit significant improvements in (Equation is included in full-text article.)O2submax, whereas changes in both peak capacity and economy better reflect gains in walking function. Providing high-intensity training to improve locomotor and aerobic exercise performance may increase the efficiency of rehabilitation sessions.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Supplemental Digital Content, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A142).

The effects of electromyography-triggered electrical stimulation on shoulder subluxation, muscle activation, pain, and function in stroke patients - pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, task-oriented electromyography-triggered stimulation improved shoulder subluxation, muscle activation, pain and upper extremity function. These results suggest that task-oriented electromyography-triggered stimulation is effective and beneficial for individuals with subacute stroke, and that further studies should be conducted on multivarious anatomical regions.

Understanding Brain Reorganization in Infants With Perinatal Stroke Through Neuroexcitability and Neuroimaging.
DISCUSSION: Study results will enhance our understanding of brain reorganization in infants with perinatal stroke. We expect these results will also guide the development of early interventions designed to mitigate maladaptive neuroplastic changes and improve long-term motor outcomes.

Do clinical assessments, steady-state or daily-life gait characteristics predict falls in ambulatory chronic stroke survivors?
CONCLUSION: Independent of the type of gait assessment, qualitative gait characteristics are better fall predictors than clinical assessments. Clinicians should therefore consider gait analyses as an alternative for identifying fall-prone stroke survivors. PMID: 28475196 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients in Determining Acute Care Discharge Recommendations
Conclusions: One hundred fifty-three subjects, with a mean age of 64.5 ± 15.5 years, were included in this cohort. The mean PASS score was 19.7 ± 11.1, the mean mRS score was 3.7 ± 2.2, and the mean FIM scores was 2.7 ± 2.4 for transfers and 3.7 ± 1.6 for ambulation. Of the persons discharged home (N = 40), mean PASS scores were 31.8 for those recommended for home physical therapy (N = 14), 32.6 for an outpatient therapy recommendation (N = 12), and 34.9 for those requiring no therapy at discharge (N = 14). The mean PASS scores for persons with an acute rehabilitation recommendation (N = 100) was higher than those rec...
