Types of physical activity performed pre and post stroke
CONCLUSION: In this single-site study of relatively able participants, stroke survivors frequently returned to their pre-stroke types of physical activity. A positive correlation between self-reported and objective measures of physical activity was demonstrated, but self-reported activity overestimates objective physical activity post-stroke.PMID:35487096 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2022.100412

Patients With Greater Stroke Severity and Premorbid Disability Are Less Likely to Receive Therapist Consultations and Intervention During Acute Care Hospitalization.
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 1 in 4 participants with acute stroke received neither a consultation nor an intervention. Efforts to improve the delivery of acute care therapy services are needed to optimize care for these people. PMID: 31390013 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinimetric properties of the SATIS-Stroke questionnaire in the Brazilian population: A satisfaction assessment measure addressing activities and participation after a stroke
CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of the SATIS-Stroke questionnaire exhibited adequate reliability, concurrent validity, and diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, this is a valid, reproducible measure for the assessment of satisfaction with regard to activities and participation following a stroke.PMID:34030951 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2021.04.006

Relative Aerobic Load of Daily Activities After Stroke
CONCLUSION: Individuals after stroke experience a high relative aerobic load during cyclic daily-life activities, despite adopting a slower movement pace than peers with no impairments. Perhaps individuals after stroke limit their movement pace to operate at sustainable relative aerobic load levels at the expense of pace and economy.IMPACT: Improving aerobic capacity through structured aerobic training in a rehabilitation program should be further investigated as a potential intervention to improve mobility and functioning after stroke.PMID:37172129 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad005

Participation in Community Walking Following Stroke: The Influence of Self-Perceived Environmental Barriers.
CONCLUSIONS: Avoidance of features within some, but not all, environmental dimensions was associated with self-reported frequency of community walking following stroke suggesting that some environmental features may limit community walking more than others.

Vascular Elasticity and Grip Strength Are Associated With Bone Health of the Hemiparetic Radius in Chronic Stroke: Implications for Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Both the integrity of the vasculature and muscle strength were significantly associated with the bone strength index at the hemiparetic radius diaphysis among people with chronic stroke. The results may be useful in guiding rehabilitative programs for enhancing bone health in the paretic arm following a stroke. PMID: 23431208 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke Impact Scale Version 2: Validation of the French Version.
CONCLUSIONS: The French SIS version presents good psychometric properties, except for ceiling effect. This is the first stroke-specific questionnaire evaluating perceived health after stroke to be validated in France, and could be useful for further investigations of HRQoL after stroke.

Reactive Balance in Individuals With Chronic Stroke: Biomechanical Factors Related to Perturbation-Induced Backward Falling.
Abstract This cross- sectional study examined the mechanism of fall risk in chronic stroke survivors when exposed to sudden, slip-like forward perturbations in stance. Fourteen young controls (YC), 14 individuals with stroke and 14 age-matched controls (AC) were exposed to large-magnitude forward stance perturbations. Postural stability was computed as COM position (XCOM/BOS) and velocity (ẊCOM/BOS) relative to the base-of-support (BOS) at 1(st) step lift-off (LO) and touchdown (TD), and 2(nd) step TD. Limb support was quantified as vertical hip descent (Zhip) from baseline post-perturbation onset. All participa...

Tablet Apps and Dexterity: Comparison Between 3 Age Groups and Proof of Concept for Stroke Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Performance of tablet app-based hand activities was affected by impaired hand dexterity in older participants without a disability and in participants with stroke. Tablet apps may potentially provide a way to facilitate self-training of repetitive, task-oriented, isolated finger and hand movements to improve hand dexterity and function after stroke.

Executive Function Is Associated With Off-Line Motor Learning in People With Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to demonstrate that better performance on an executive function test of attention and set-shifting predicts a higher magnitude of off-line motor learning in individuals with chronic stroke. This emphasizes the need to consider attention and set-shifting abilities of individuals following stroke as these abilities are associated with motor learning. This in turn could affect learning of activities of daily living and impact functional recovery following stroke.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT...

What Is the Dose-Response Relationship Between Exercise and Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Stroke? A Systematic Review.
CONCLUSIONS: Exercising at an intensity greater than 72% of heart rate reserve may be more effective in increasing cardiorespiratory fitness after stroke than exercising at lower intensities. More trials that compare exercise doses by manipulating only 1 parameter of dose at a time for people after stroke are needed. PMID: 30834439 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Factors Influencing the Delivery of Intensive Rehabilitation in Stroke: Patient Perceptions Versus Rehabilitation Therapist Perceptions.
CONCLUSIONS: People with stroke perceived no barriers regarding the implementation of higher intensity rehabilitation in practice and were positive towards working at more intense levels. Contrastingly, from the therapists' perspective, therapists' beliefs about quality of movement and issues around staffing and resources were perceived to be barriers. In addition, therapists and people with stroke perceived the contents of the intervention differently, highlighting the importance of involving patients and clinicians in the development and evaluation of rehabilitation interventions.
