Can you learn to cough after having a stroke?
A strong cough, requires powerful coordinated contraction of expiratory (abdominal) muscles. The expiratory muscles contract to build up high positive intrapleural and intra-airway pressures for development of peak expiratory Flow rates. Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) has been shown to improve parameters related to pulmonary function, speech, and cough.However, no one has investigated what changes occur in the activation of abdominal muscles after training. The aim of this study is to clarify which role plays the coordination of abdominal muscles in expiratory flows. The null hypothesis was that stroke patients...

A brief review of motor imagery and bimanual coordination
Motor imagery is increasingly being used in clinical settings, such as in neurorehabilitation and brain computer interface (BCI). In stroke, patients lose upper limb function and must re-learn bimanual coordination skills necessary for the activities of daily living. Physiotherapists integrate motor imagery with physical rehabilitation to accelerate recovery. In BCIs, users are often asked to imagine a movement, often with sparse instructions. The EEG pattern that coincides with this cognitive task is captured, then used to execute an external command, such as operating a neuroprosthetic device. As such, BCIs are dependent...

Development of a convolutional neural network (CNN) based assessment exercise recommendation system for individuals with chronic stroke: a feasibility study
CONCLUSIONS: This CNN deep-learning model provided time-effective and accurate prediction of clinical assessment results and exercise recommendations. This study provides preliminary evidence to support the use of biomechanical data and AI to assist treatment planning and shorten the decision-making process in rehabilitation.PMID:36189968 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2022.2127669

Efficacy of sitting balance training with delayed visual feedback among patients with stroke: a randomized crossover clinical trial
Conclusion] Sensory-motor and cognitive learning was facilitated through balance training with delayed visual feedback, and the internal model was updated with the efference copy of error correction. Sensory-motor feedback to visual stimulation can improve postural control, balance, and activities of daily living.PMID:35937630 | PMC:PMC9345753 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.540

Principles into Practice: An Observational Study of Physiotherapists use of Motor Learning Principles in Stroke Rehabilitation
To describe a) how motor learning principles are applied during post stroke physiotherapy, with a focus on lower limb rehabilitation; and b) the context in which these principles are used, in relation to patient and/or task characteristics.

Patients' and therapists' experience and perception of exoskeleton-based physiotherapy during subacute stroke rehabilitation: a qualitative analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with stroke were even more optimistic than therapists toward the experience and benefits of exoskeleton-based gait training during subacute stroke rehabilitation. Future clinical practice should consider the balance between actual and perceived benefits, as well as the potential barriers to integrating an exoskeleton into stroke rehabilitation.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPowered robotic exoskeletons can be used to provide higher duration and more repetitious walking practice for non-ambulatory patients with stroke.Patients with stroke view exoskeleton-based physiotherapy highly favorably, attributi...

Linking of concepts measured by SATIS-Stroke and the PM-Scale to the international classification of functioning, disability and health
CONCLUSION: SATIS-Stroke addresses more issues regarding the domains of Learning and Applying Knowledge, Mobility, Self-Care, Domestic Life, and Major Life Areas, whereas the PM-Scale addresses more issues regarding the General Tasks and Demands, Communication, and Community, Social and Civic Life. Both instruments equally address issues related to Interpersonal Interactions and Relationships.PMID:34605744 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1983908

Effects of dynamic supported standing training in a patient with pusher behavior: a case report
CONCLUSION: Dynamic supported standing training using a modified standing frame may improve pusher behavior with short-term training. The collapsed posture of the patient in the present case was corrected using the modified standing frame. This neutral standing position could have a positive effect on motor learning with respect to holding one's posture.PMID:34498984 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1978119

Development of lower limb training interventions that promote an external focus of attention in people with stroke: a modified Delphi survey
CONCLUSIONS: : Commonly used rehabilitation exercises can be adapted to promote an external focus of attention, by altering the therapist's use of instructions and/or altering the task set up. Treatment principles and examples of tasks that promote an external focus have been produced.PMID:34474651 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1972501

Estimation of balance status in patients with hemiparesis: an artificial neural network implementation
Discussion:The results obtained from this study showed that RMSE values of ANNs were better than the ones found in literature. It is believed that this study can lead to constitute a shorter, more sensitive and more practical mini subset of BESTest for physiotherapists to differentiate balance problems while carrying the whole philosophy of the full BESTest.PMID:33939601 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.1913936
