Requirements for home-based upper extremity rehabilitation using wearable motion sensors for stroke patients: a user-centred approach
CONCLUSION: This study provides an overview of functional requirements, required exercises, and required exercise measures for home-based upper extremity rehabilitation using wearable motion sensors for stroke patients, which can be used to develop home-based upper extremity rehabilitation interventions. Moreover, the comprehensive and systematic requirement analysis used in this study can be applied by other researchers and developers when extracting requirements for designing a system or intervention in a medical context.PMID:36905631 | DOI:10.1080/17483107.2023.2183993

Effect of home-based, overground robotic-assisted gait training on vascular health in people with chronic stroke
Overground robotic-assisted gait training (O-RAGT) has been shown to improve clinical functional outcomes in people living with stroke. The purpose of this study was to identify whether a home-based O-RAGT program, in combination with usual care physiotherapy, would demonstrate improvements in vascular health in individuals with chronic stroke, and, whether any changes in vascular outcomes would be sustained 3 months after completing the program. Thirty-four participants with chronic stroke (between 3 months and 5 years post-stroke) were randomized to either a 10-week O-RAGT program in combination with usual care physiothe...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 4747: Use of Virtual Reality and Videogames in the Physiotherapy Treatment of Stroke Patients: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
rasco A stroke is a neurological condition with a high impact in terms of physical disability in the adult population, requiring specific and effective rehabilitative approaches. Virtual reality (VR), a technological approach in constant evolution, has great applicability in many fields of rehabilitation, including strokes. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of a traditional neurological physiotherapy-based approach combined with the implementation of a specific VR-based program in the treatment of patients following rehabilitation after a stroke. Participants (n = 24) diagnosed with a stroke in the last ...

Future-proofing the Profession: Physiotherapists ’ Perceptions of their Current and Emerging Role
This qualitative report is important and reflects the deeper thinking that is needed about the directions of physiotherapy as a leading established health profession [1]. As a profession we have shown less reflexivity and responsiveness to epidemiologic trends since the end of World War 2, over 70 years ago. Given the progressive increase in prevalence of chronic lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases since World War 2, namely, heart disease, cancer, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, renal disease, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer ’s disease and that non-invasive interventions are typically superior to drug...

Good multiple sclerosis (MS) care and how to get there in Canada: Perspectives of Canadian healthcare providers working with persons with MS
ConclusionTo meet the care needs of Canadians with MS, the healthcare system must consider standardizing and funding multidisciplinary team-based MS clinics, comparable to Stroke units, which continue to show favorable health outcomes after years of implementation.

Descriptive analysis of post-stroke patients in a neurological physical therapy unit
Discussion and conclusionOur results do not show significant differences between the persons < 65 years and the number of outpatient physiotherapy sessions performed, although the resulting values are close to significance. Our results suggest that the PPP is a young person, with a hemorrhagic and left or bilateral stroke.

Immediate Neurophysiological effect of electrical stimulation via dry needling on H-reflex in post stroke spasticity
CONCLUSIONS: Single session of DN, ES, and the DN+IMES can significantly modulate post-stroke spasticity by possible bottom-up regulation mechanisms.PMID:36847265 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2182655

To assess the effects of cross-education on strength and motor function in post stroke rehabilitation: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
Cross-education refers to the increase in motor output of the untrained limb following unilateral training of the opposite limb. Cross education has been shown to be beneficial in clinical settings.
