Factors that Influence the Clinical Implementation of Aerobic Exercise in Stroke Rehabilitation: a Theory-Informed Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: Strategies to support implementation of AEx in stroke rehabilitation should incorporate knowledge and skills; the provision of clinical decision-making tools; access to expert consultation; the roles and social influence of the interprofessional team and formal and informal leaders; and supportive processes adapted to the local context.IMPACT: Results from this study will inform the development of a clinical implementation toolkit to support clinical uptake of AEx in the stroke rehabilitation setting.PMID:35194641 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzac014

Gait improvement in stroke patients by Gait Exercise Assist Robot training is related to trunk verticality
Conclusion] Verticality of SIAS may be a marker of potential walking independence that can be used in rehabilitation plans using walking-assist robots in patients with stroke.PMID:36337216 | PMC:PMC9622344 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.715

Identification of Disability Subgroups for Patients After Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: Five disability subgroups were identified for patients after ischemic stroke. The disability subgroups provide a common language for clinicians to organize the heterogeneity of disability after stroke.IMPACT: Using the disability subgroups, the multidisciplinary team might be able to improve the accuracy and efficiency of care decisions. The number of current rehabilitation interventions is indeterminable; these subgroups may help to guide clinicians in selecting the most beneficial interventions for patients based on subgroup membership.PMID:37172127 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad001

Priming the Brain to Capitalize on Metaplasticity in Stroke Rehabilitation.
Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is emerging as a potentially valuable intervention to augment the effects of behavioral therapy for stroke. When used in conjunction with other therapies, rTMS embraces the concept of metaplasticity. Due to homeostatic mechanisms inherent to metaplasticity, interventions known in isolation to enhance excitability can interact when applied successively under certain timing conditions and produce enhanced or opposite effects. It will be shown that similar to "muscular wisdom", with its self-protective mechanisms, there also appears to be synaptic wisdom in...

Relative and Absolute Reliabilities of the Vertical Numerical Pain Rating Scale With the Face Pain Scale After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the vertical NPRS-FPS is a reliable measure of pain in people with stroke, with good relative and absolute reliabilities. PMID: 24029301 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Accuracy of Two Activity Monitors in Detecting Steps in People With Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury.
CONCLUSIONS: The FB may be a low cost alternative to measure the stepping activity on level, predictable environments of people with stroke and TBI who can walk at speeds ≥0.58 m/s. PMID: 24052577 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Time Course of Functional and Biomechanical Improvements During a Gait Training Intervention in Persons With Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS:: The results demonstrate that walking function improves with a different time course compared with gait biomechanics in response to a locomotor training intervention in persons with chronic stroke. Thirty-six training sessions were necessary to achieve an increase in walking speed that exceeded the minimally clinically important difference. These findings should be considered when designing locomotor training interventions after stroke.

Arm and Trunk Movement Kinematics During Seated Reaching Within and Beyond Arm's Length in Patients With Stroke: A Validity Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Different kinematic variables might partially reflect motor function before and after treatment to a limited degree. Although the predictive validity is modest, trunk movement might be considered one of the potential prognostic determinants of motor function after treatment. A reaching task within arm's length might be more suitable to obtain kinematic performance for describing motor function than one that is beyond arm's length.

Considerations in the Efficacy and Effectiveness of VR Interventions for Stroke Rehabilitation: Moving the Field Forward.
Abstract In the past 2 decades, researchers have demonstrated the potential for virtual reality (VR) technologies to provide engaging and motivating environments for stroke rehabilitation interventions.(1) Much of the research has been focused on the Exploratory Phase and jumps to Intervention Efficacy trials and Scale Up Evaluation have been made with limited understanding of the active ingredients in a VR intervention for stroke.(2,3) The rapid pace of technology development is an additional challenge for this emerging field, providing a moving target for researchers developing and evaluating potential VR techno...

Pressure-Controlled Treadmill Training in Chronic Stroke: A Case Study With AlterG.
DISCUSSION:: Training with a pressure-controlled treadmill may be a viable alternative to traditional body-weight-supported treadmill training for persons poststroke. Additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed to elucidate the role of pressure-controlled treadmill training in this population.

Predicting Heart Rate at the Ventilatory Threshold for Aerobic Exercise Prescription in Persons With Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Derived regression equations, 80% HRpeak and 62% HRRpeak, provide a specific target intensity for initial aerobic exercise prescription that should minimize underdosing and overdosing for persons with chronic stroke. The specificity of these methods may lead to more efficient and effective treatment for poststroke deconditioning.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A114).

Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold as a Measure of Ankle Plantar-Flexor Spasticity After Stroke.
CONCLUSION: TSRT inter-evaluator reliability was very good for evaluating stroke-related plantarflexor spasticity. TSRT is a reliable measure of spasticity. More information may be gained by combining TSRT measurement with a measure of velocity-dependent resistance. PMID: 26450971 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
