Kinematic parameters obtained with the ArmeoSpring for upper-limb assessment after stroke: a reliability and learning effect study for guiding parameter use
After stroke, kinematic measures obtained with non-robotic and robotic devices are highly recommended to precisely quantify the sensorimotor impairments of the upper-extremity and select the most relevant ther...

What are the factors that may influence the implementation of self-managed computer therapy for people with long term aphasia following stroke? A qualitative study of speech and language therapists' experiences in the Big CACTUS trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Personalisation, feedback and volunteer/assistant support were viewed as benefits of this complex intervention. However, the same benefits required resources including therapist time in learning to use software, procuring it, personalising it, working with volunteers/assistants, and building relationships with IT departments which formed barriers to implementation. The discussion highlights the need to consider integration of computer and face-to-face therapy to support implementation and potentially optimise patient outcomes. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Benefits of the self-managed computer approach to wo...

Transcranial direct current stimulation over multiple days enhances motor performance of a grip task
Conclusions Anodal tDCS is effective in promoting grip motor learning in healthy individuals. Further studies are warranted to test its potential use for the rehabilitation of fine motor skills in stroke patients.

Rehabilitation After Complete Hemisensory Loss: Report of Two Cases
The role and function that proprioception plays in movement and motor learning have been debated since the 19th century but can be difficult to isolate and study. Lesions at various points along the proprioceptive pathway result in afferent paresis that can be significantly disabling. Compensatory mechanisms can help with successful rehabilitation and provide an opportunity to study the role of these mechanisms in sensory feedback. Here, we present two cases of adult patients with complete hemisensory loss after a stroke: one patient with a cortical stroke and the other one with a thalamic stroke. First, we see that that m...

The lived experience of engaging in everyday occupations in persons with mild to moderate aphasia.
Conclusion: Aphasia can have a long-term impact on engagement in everyday occupations and participation in society, but conversely, engagement in meaningful occupations can also contribute to adaptation to disability and life changes. Implications for Rehabilitation Aphasia can have a long-term impact on engagement in everyday occupations and participation in society. Health care professionals need to determine what clients with aphasia think about their occupations and life situations in spite of difficulties they may have verbalizing their thoughts. Experiences of engaging in meaningful occupations can help clie...

Facilitating myoelectric-control with transcranial direct current stimulation: a preliminary study in healthy humans
This study on 12 healthy volunteers was conducted to investigate the effects of anodal tDCS of the primary motor cortex (M1) and cerebellum on latencies during isometric contraction of tibialis anterior (TA) muscle for myoelectric visual pursuit with quick initiation/termination of muscle activation i.e. 'ballistic EMG control' as well as modulation of EMG for 'proportional EMG control'. Results: The normalized delay in initiation and termination of muscle activity during post-intervention 'ballistic EMG control' trials showed a significant main effect of the anodal tDCS target: cerebellar, M1, sham (F(2) = 2.33, p

A narrative analysis of a speech pathologist's work with Indigenous Australians with acquired communication disorders.
Conclusions: Individual, detailed narratives are useful in exposing the challenges and clinical reasoning behind culturally sensitive practice. Implications for Rehabilitation Speech pathologists (SPs) can learn from hearing the clinical stories of colleagues with experience of providing rehabilitation in culturally diverse contexts, as well as from ongoing training in culturally competent and safe practices. Such stories help bridge understanding from the general to the particular. SPs working with Indigenous Australians with acquired communication disorders post-stroke and brain injury may find it helpful to consider how...

Utilization of motor imagery in upper limb rehabilitation: A systematic scoping review.
CONCLUSION: Many of the imagery elements reviewed are not being considered or reported on in the selected studies. How motor imagery is being delivered within and between populations is inconsistent, which may lead to difficulties in determining key elements of effectiveness.

Aphasia-accessible Spatial Neglect Care
To learn whether the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) via the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process, and prism adaptation therapy (PAT; Barrett and Houston, 2019) provided aphasia-accessible spatial neglect care, in a left-handed, Cambodian-speaking stroke survivor (55 years) with right spatial neglect and global aphasia. Right-sided spatial neglect affects up to 50% of left brain stroke survivors, however many are never diagnosed or treated. A therapist can encounter great difficulty instructing people with communication disability (aphasia) during neglect assessment and treatment.

Exoskeleton-Assisted Anthropomorphic Movement Training (EAMT) for Poststroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, and it places a substantial burden on health care services and the socioeconomic system.1 More than two-thirds of individuals with stroke have upper extremity motor impairment and functional deficits at hospital admission,2,3 manifesting as muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and abnormal synergies.4 Moreover, upper limb dysfunction leads to long-term limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation.5 Extensive studies have reported that participants can benefit from high-intensity, task-specific training programs based on motor-l...

Application of the extended technology acceptance model to explore clinician likelihood to use robotics in rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: This study found that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of a robotic device in clinical rehabilitation can be improved through experience, training and embedded technological support. However, training and embedded support are not routinely offered, suggesting there is a discordance between current implementation and the learning needs of rehabilitation clinicians.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPatients do not receive adequate amounts of upper limb motor practice following a stroke, and although robotic devices have the potential to address this gap, clinical adoption is low.The technology acceptan...
