Enriched, Task-Specific Therapy in the Chronic Phase After Stroke: An Exploratory Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Enriched, task-specific therapy may provide durable benefits across a wide spectrum of motor deficits and impairments after stroke. Although the results must be interpreted cautiously, the findings have implications for enriching strategies in stroke rehabilitation.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A304).

Physical therapists' perspectives on improving walking capacity in patients with stroke: a cross-sectional study from Saudi Arabia.
CONCLUSION: Variable responses from different sectors according to qualification, experience, and institution were observed among the physical therapists in Saudi Arabia for improving the walking capacity in patients after Stroke. PMID: 32481238 [PubMed - in process]

A Comparison of the Responsiveness of the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke and the Berg Balance Scale in Patients With Severe Balance Deficits After Stroke
Conclusions: Compared with the BBS, the PASS was better able to detect balance improvements in patients having severe balance deficits. The PASS is recommended as an outcome measure to detect change in balance in patients with stroke who have severe balance deficits.

Standing Balance Strategies and Dual-Task Interference Are Differentially Modulated Across Various Sensory Contexts and Cognitive Tests in Individuals With Chronic Stroke
Conclusions: Standing balance enhancement (higher equilibrium score/better balance) depends on the neuropsychological process targeted and the sensory input available post-stroke. Cognitive dual-task interference emerged for the verbal fluency test during the most attention demanding sensory condition. Cognitive tests that enhance standing balance should be considered in assessments and interventions to evaluate and improve dual-tasking post-stroke.

Low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation in subacute ischemic stroke: Number of sessions that altered cortical excitability.
CONCLUSION: The pattern of recovery after stroke is extensive and not all factors could be controlled. Application of LF-rTMS in conjugation with a selected physical therapy program for the upper limb from four to eight sessions seems to be efficient. PMID: 33136077 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationships Between Stepping-Reaction Movement Patterns and Clinical Measures of Balance, Motor Impairment, and Step Characteristics After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Movement patterns of stepping reactions poststroke were influenced by the initiating leg. After stroke, specific movement patterns showed associations with clinical measures depending on the initiating leg, suggesting that these movement patterns are important to retraining of stepping reactions. Specifically, use of flexion patterning and assessment of between-leg pattern differentiation may be important aspects to consider during retraining of stepping reactions poststroke. IMPACT: Evidence-based interventions targeting balance reactions are still in their infancy. This investigation of stepping reactio...

A Clinical Practice Guideline for the Use of Ankle-Foot Orthoses and Functional Electrical Stimulation Post-Stroke
DISCUSSION: One-hundred twenty-two meta-analyses, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and cohort studies were included. Strong evidence exists that AFO and FES can each increase gait speed, mobility, and dynamic balance. Moderate evidence exists that AFO and FES increase quality of life, walking endurance, and muscle activation, and weak evidence exists for improving gait kinematics. AFO or FES should not be used to decrease plantarflexor spasticity. Studies that directly compare AFO and FES do not indicate overall superiority of one over the other. But evidence suggests that AFO may lead to more compensatory...

A Randomized Controlled Study Assessing the Effects of a Shoe Lift Under the Nonparetic Leg on Balance Performance in Individuals With Chronic Stroke
Conclusion: The results indicated that the use of a shoe lift under the nonaffected leg in the context of a balance training program could result in a greater improvement in static standing balance as compared with balance training alone in an individual with chronic stroke. Trial Registration: The study was retrospectively registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20190603043808N1).

Sex Differences in Physical Activity in People After Stroke: A Cross-sectional Study
CONCLUSION: This study reported sex differences in the walking duration after stroke. Moreover, it found that women spent more time in low intensity physical activity than men. Our results will be useful for planning interventions to increase physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior after stroke.PMID:35036263 | PMC:PMC8752872 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10099

A Narrative Review of Alternate Gait Training Using Knee-ankle-foot Orthosis in Stroke Patients with Severe Hemiparesis
Phys Ther Res. 2021 Dec 6;24(3):195-203. doi: 10.1298/ptr.R0015. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTImpairments resulting from stroke lead to persistent difficulties with walking. Subsequently, an improved walking ability is one of the highest priorities for people living with stroke. The degree to which gait can be restored after a stroke is related to both the initial impairment in walking ability and the severity of paresis of the lower extremities. However, there are some patients with severe motor paralysis and a markedly disrupted corticospinal tract who regain their gait function. Recently, several case reports have described...
