Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 712: Perspectives of Motor Functional upper Extremity Recovery with the Use of Immersive Virtual Reality in Stroke Patients
ński Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability, including loss of hand manipulative skills. It constitutes a major limitation in independence and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Among the numerous accessible physiotherapeutic methods, it is becoming more common to apply Virtual Reality "VR”. The aim of this study was to establish whether immersive VR was worth considering as a form of physical therapy and the advisability of applying it in restoring post-stroke hand function impairment. A proprietary application Virtual Mirror Hand 1.0 was used in the research and its effectivenes...

Impaired Reactive Stepping Among Patients Ready for Discharge From Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired reactive stepping is a prevalent problem for ambulatory patients with stroke preparing for discharge which could possibly increase their risk of falling when faced with the challenges of community ambulation. Specific tests that target the capacity to perform perturbation-evoked stepping reactions may be important to identify those at risk for falls & to direct appropriate intervention strategies.

Psychometrics of the Wrist Stability and Hand Mobility Subscales of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment in Moderately Impaired Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: It appears that the w/h UE FM is a promising tool to measure distal UE movement in patients with little active paretic wrist and finger movement. This finding widens the segment of patients on whom the w/h UE FM can be effectively used, and addresses a gap, since commonly used measures necessitate active distal UE movement.

A Cognitive-Balance Control Training Paradigm Using Wii Fit to Reduce Fall Risk in Chronic Stroke Survivors.
CONCLUSIONS:: The results demonstrate good adherence and evidence of clinical value of this high-intensity, short-duration protocol for reducing cognitive-motor interference and improving balance control in stroke survivors. Future studies should examine the dose-response effects and long-term changes of such DT training paradigm applied to improve fall efficacy.

Forced arm use is superior to voluntary training for motor recovery and brain plasticity after cortical ischemia in rats
Conclusions We show that physical training after photothrombotic stroke significantly and permanently improves functional recovery after stroke, and that forced arm training is clearly superior to voluntary running training. The behavioral outcomes seen correlate with patterns and extent of gene expression changes in all brain areas examined. We propose that physical training induces a fundamental change in plasticity-relevant gene expression in several brain regions that enables recovery processes. These results contribute to the debate on optimal rehabilitation strategies, and provide a valuable source of mole...

Descriptive Data Analysis Examining How Standardized Assessments Are Used to Guide Post-Acute Discharge Recommendations for Rehabilitation Services After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants post-stroke can be classified into meaningful groups based on assessment scores from their initial PT and OT evaluations. These assessment scores, in part guide post-stroke acute care discharge recommendations. PMID: 25504485 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aftereffects of 2 Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Techniques on Corticospinal Excitability in Persons With Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study
Conclusion:Both 5-Hz rTMS and anodal tDCS induced effects on corticospinal excitability in persons with chronic stroke lasting at least 1 hour after stimulation. In the absence of concurrent motor practice, neither form of stimulation applied in a single session was associated the changes in motor performance. These approaches to increased cortical excitability may be of value as adjuncts to training.Video Abstract available: See Video (Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A83) for more insights from the authors.

Cardiovascular Stress Induced by Whole-Body Vibration Exercise in Individuals With Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Addition of high- and low-intensity WBV significantly increased the VO2 and HR, but the increase was modest. WBV thus should not pose any substantial cardiovascular hazard in people with chronic stroke. PMID: 25592188 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy After Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A for a Patient With Chronic Stroke: One-Year Follow-up Case Report.
DISCUSSION: The improved arm function could reflect improvements in volitional movements and coordination or speed of movements in the paretic arm that resulted from a reduction in spasticity, a reduction of learned nonuse behaviors, or use-dependent plasticity after the combination of BTX type A and constraint-induced movement therapy. If this approach proves useful in future controlled studies, this may halt the rising medical costs of the treatment of stroke. PMID: 25592185 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does outcome of neuropsychological treatment in patients with unilateral spatial neglect after stroke affect functional outcome?
CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of the whole rehabilitation resulted affected by the outcome of neuropsychological treatment in patients with USN, being a low score at Barrage test at the beginning of therapy a negative predictor of USN recovery. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Patients with USN after stroke can benefit of a specific training for reducing USN also in terms of functional outcome. Further, the simple use of Barrage test could provide important prognostic information about recovery. PMID: 25739509 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of the Responsiveness of the Long-Form and Simplified Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement: Group- and Individual-Level Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The STREAM-27 detected more patients with significant recovery than the STREAM-15 did, although the group-level responsiveness of the two measures was the same. The STREAM-27 is recommended as an outcome measure to demonstrate the treatment effects of movement and mobility for patients with stroke. PMID: 25744276 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical and In-hospital Process Variables Are Associated With Hospital Length-of-Stay in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients (P6.246)
CONCLUSIONS: For mild ischemic stroke patients, time to physical therapy evaluation (an in-hospital care process) was associated with LOS and likelihood of return to ED, whereas clinical factors (including mRS, NIHSS score, infarct location) were not. This suggests coordination of inpatient care processes, in addition to assessing and treating co-morbidities, could impact hospital LOS and, perhaps, long-term outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Kim has nothing to disclose.

Early Mobilization in Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Randomized Trial of Safety and Feasibility in a Public Hospital in Brazil
This report presents the feasibility and safety findings for the pilot phase of this trial. Methods: The primary outcomes were time to first mobilization, total duration of mobilization, complications during early mobilization, falls within 3 months, mortality within 3 months, and medical complications of immobility. We included adult patients with CT- or MRI-confirmed ischemic stroke within 48 h of symptom onset who were admitted from March to November 2012 to the acute vascular unit or general emergency unit of a large urban emergency department (ED) at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. The severity of the neuro...
