Spouses of stroke survivors may be at risk for poor cognitive functioning: a cross-sectional population-based study.
CONCLUSIONS: Spousal caregivers of stroke survivors may be at risk for poor cognitive functioning. More work is needed to identify the processes that may contribute to the diminished cognitive capacity among these adults so that interventions may be developed to reduce caregiver burden and promote cognitive health.

Decision-Making on Referral to Primary Care Physiotherapy After Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
Worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability.1 Although incidence rates are expected to increase over the next few decades, survival rates are expected to improve. Consequently, more stroke survivors will have to learn to live with the consequences. After acute stroke care or rehabilitation, returning home is one of the primary goals for stroke survivors.2 In the Netherlands, 65 % of stroke survivors return home immediately after acute hospital care.3 The remaining 35% continue inpatient rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center (RC) or geriatric rehabilitation center (GRC) before returning home.

National Stroke Registries: What can we learn from them?
Stroke is a major cause of long-term adult disability, death, and health care costs worldwide. This overwhelming burden on global health necessitates ongoing improvements in stroke management. Indeed, considerable progress in stroke care is evident nowadays, in part owing to better prevention and the increasing use of acute stroke units, urgent triage, multimodal CT- or MRI-based brain imaging, and IV and endovascular reperfusion therapy.

Moyamoya and childhood stroke: Catching up with Tyler and Ryan
Ryan (above left) and Tyler Earle of Winnipeg, Canada had a ticking time bomb inside their heads. Both boys have a rare brain disorder called moyamoya that had caused the arteries feeding their brains to become dangerously narrowed. At first, they experienced only headaches. But then Ryan suddenly lost his ability to write, began having trouble with word-finding and became weak on one side of his body — signs he had suffered a stroke. He was diagnosed with moyamoya and had partial surgery, but a second stroke took away part of his vision and partially paralyzed him. Ryan needed a second operation as soon as possible. By ...

Methodology of the Stroke Self-Management Rehabilitation Trial: An International, Multisite Pilot Trial
Stroke is a major cause of long-term adult disability with many survivors living in the community relying on family members for on-going support. However, reports of inadequate understanding of rehabilitation techniques are common. A self-management DVD-based observational learning tool may help improve functional outcomes for survivors of stroke and reduce caregivers' burden.

Self-management: challenges for allied healthcare professionals in stroke rehabilitation - a focus group study.
Conclusion: Professional perceptions and beliefs are important factors to take into account when implementing stroke self-management programmes. Before professionals can enable stroke survivors to self-manage, they first need support in acquiring knowledge and skills regarding post-stroke self-management. Moreover, professionals could benefit from behavioural change models, and professionals recognised that stroke self-management interventions would be most beneficial when delivered post-discharge at people's homes. Implications for Rehabilitation Post-stroke self-management is a learning process with different levels depe...

How to Learn the Warning Signs of a Stroke F.A.S.T
What if singing a song or rapping lyrics could give someone the power to spot stroke signs and take action? And what if sharing that song could spread power all around the world? Would you use it to save lives? Imagine the impact it could have. Well the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) has partnered with me and David Augustine, aka Dee-1, a former teacher and now an up and coming hip hop artist, to do just that -- spread the word about stroke warning signs through music. Our version of the song includes a music video that will bring life to the letters F.A.S.T.! Although we had plenty of...
