Autonomy support encourages use of more-affected arm post-stroke
Autonomy support, which involves providing individuals the ability to control their own behavior, is associated with improved motor control and learning in various populations in clinical and non-clinical sett...

Innovations in Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation
Despite improvements in acute stroke management, many stroke survivors remain with substantial disability. Efforts to more effectively harness the brain ’s plasticity and capacity for recovery have been gradually providing a more robust array of evidence to help guide practitioners. At the same time, new treatments, such as cryoneurolysis, are being incorporated into the management of long-term sequelae of stroke. In this special issue focusing on stroke rehabilitation, contributors review our current understanding of mechanisms involved in motor recovery and motor learning following stroke.

Motor Learning Following Stroke
This article provides an overview of motor control and learning theories that inform stroke rehabilitation interventions, discusses principles of neuroplasticity, and provides a summary of practice conditions and techniques that can be used to augment motor learning and neuroplasticity in stroke rehabilitation.

"Wasting time": a qualitative study of stroke survivors' experiences of boredom in non-therapy time during inpatient rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: Creating rehabilitation environments that support autonomy, socialisation and opportunities to participate in activity are clear targets to reduce boredom during non-therapy time, increase meaningful engagement and possibly improve rehabilitation outcomes post-stroke.PMID:37409578 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2230131

Six-month outcomes and patterns of recovery for people with lateropulsion following stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with lateropulsion can recover from lateropulsion and make meaningful functional gains, including some individuals with more severe lateropulsion. Lateropulsion severity is a key indicator of functional outcome post-stroke.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONIndividuals with lateropulsion can make significant gains in terms of mobility and functional abilities by six months post-stroke, learning to compensate for their verticality impairment in standing by loading their non-paretic leg.It is important that stroke survivors with lateropulsion, including those with moderate and severe lateropulsion, are p...

From concept to practice: a scoping review of the application of AI to aphasia diagnosis and management
CONCLUSION: Considerable scope remains to align AI technology with aphasia rehabilitation to empower patient-centred, customised rehabilitation and enhanced self-management.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAphasia is an acquired communication disorder that impacts everyday functioning due to impairments in speech, auditory comprehension, reading, and writing.Given this communication burden, researchers have focused on utilising artificial intelligence (AI) methods for assessment, therapy and self-management.From a conceptualisation era in the early 1940s, the application of AI has evolved with significant developments in AI ...

Returning to School after Pediatric Stroke
Returning to school after a pediatric stroke can be overwhelming. Brain injury of any kind can have an impact on learning and daily life. Research shows that many students who have had a brain injury benefit from monitoring of academic progress and accommodations in school (1). Your student may need a new school plan after their stroke to help them be successful.

Improved upper extremity function following low-frequency hybrid assistive neuromuscular dynamic stimulation therapy in a patient with hemiplegia: A case report
Intensive rehabilitation during the first 3 months post-onset is extremely important to recover from upper extremity paralysis after a cerebral stroke,1 as almost no change in motor function is observed after 90 days post-onset.2 In addition, a study reported in 1994 stated that 95% of patients with severe upper extremity paralysis reached stationary of the paralyzed side after 11 weeks of onset and that no further improvement could be expected.3 Therefore, conventional rehabilitation in patients with post-stroke upper extremity paralysis in the chronic phase focused on the acquisition of compensatory movements by the non-...

Effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on serum BDNF and motor learning in the upper-limb in patients after chronic-stroke: A randomized, controlled feasibility study with embedded health economic evaluation
CONCLUSION: The study is feasible with modifications. Future studies should compare high-intensity versus moderate-intensity aerobic-exercise combined with higher dosage arm-training.PMID:36806518 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-220239
