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.

Cognition assessments to predict inpatient falls in a subacute stroke rehabilitation setting.
Conclusions: Cognition assessments, i.e., one FIM item, one RAVLT item, or a one-minute verbal fluency test are significant falls predictors. PMID: 32431244 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The feasibility of an acute high-intensity exercise bout to promote locomotor learning after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: An acute high-intensity exercise bout that could be incorporated into a neurorehabilitation learning-specific session and results in substantial exercise-induced responses is feasible post-stroke. PMID: 29105605 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Error augmentation as a possible technique for improving upper extremity motor performance after a stroke - a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the studies reviewed have significant methodological drawbacks that resulted in equivocal results. Therefore, we recommend that additional randomized controlled trials, with larger sample sizes and acceptable protocols be conducted to determine the long-term efficacy of EA training.

Efficacy of transcranial alternating current stimulation over bilateral mastoids (tACSbm) on enhancing recovery of subacute post-stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: tACSbm appeared to be effective for enhancing patients' functional recovery and cerebral hemodynamics in the subacute phase. The extent of recovery seems to be associated with the decline of the resistance in vascular bed of the main cerebral arteries. The mechanisms behind this effect should be explored further through research. PMID: 27145292 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A short bout of high-intensity exercise alters ipsilesional motor cortical excitability post-stroke.
Conclusions: High-intensity exercise can increase lesioned hemisphere motor cortical excitability in a non-exercised muscle post-stroke. Our short and clinically-advantageous exercise protocol shows promise as a potential priming method in stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 31144609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy of motor imagery additional to motor-based therapy in the recovery of motor function of the upper limb in post-stroke individuals: a systematic review.
Conclusion. There is evidence showing that MI associated with motor-based therapy is an effective tool in improving the motor function of upper limbs of post-stroke individuals. However, more studies are needed to establish criteria for frequency and duration of intervention, and what better type of MI should be used. PMID: 31264520 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Boosting the traditional physiotherapist approach for stroke spasticity using a sensorized ankle foot orthosis: a pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: PhT-Pt sharing of exercise information, provided by joint sensorization and vBFB, improved the efficacy of the conventional approach for treating ankle spasticity in subacute stroke Pts. PMID: 28460597 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Differences in neural pathways are related to the short- or long-term benefits of constraint-induced movement therapy in patients with chronic stroke and hemiparesis: a pilot cohort study.
Conclusions The integrity of the affected corticospinal and non-corticospinal motor pathways was associated with CIMT-induced motor learning at least 6 months after CIMT. PMID: 29130404 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Being deliberate in postacute stroke: strategies to redeem the time.
Abstract Physical rehabilitation post stroke is key to minimizing impairments, restoring functional mobility, and returning individuals to their life roles. The reimbursable time allotted to attain those goals in the current health care environment is limited and is not projected to increase. It is critical, therefore, for rehabilitation professionals to re-evaluate how they use their limited time with clients. Repetition is the foundation for changes in representational organization of the motor cortex and for motor skill learning. Drawing from animal and human motor learning literature as well as completed clini...

Verbal feedback enhances motor learning during post-stroke gait retraining.
CONCLUSIONS: Addition of individualized verbal feedback (FF+PT) to a single session of gait training may enhance within- and across-session learning of targeted gait variables in people post-stroke, and merits more investigation. PMID: 32942960 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A qualitative pilot study exploring clients' and health-care professionals' experiences with aquatic therapy post-stroke in Ontario, Canada
CONCLUSIONS: Health-care professionals and clients reported numerous benefits of aquatic therapy post-stroke including, but not limited to, improvements in mobility, balance, wellbeing, and socialization. Lack of formal and informal education and communication as participants' transition from rehab to community were viewed as barriers to aquatic therapy use post-stroke. Developing education material and communication strategies may improve the uptake of aquatic therapy post-stroke.PMID:36999561 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2195590
