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.

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.

"I Had A Stroke at 38 Years Old"
How one woman turned a life-changing event into an opportunity to thrive. As told to Kristin Canning By Kristin Canning, SELF (Photo: Courtesy of Merideth Gilmor) I wasn't supposed to have a stroke. I was 38 years old, a mom in "perfect" health. I run my own pro-athlete public relations firm, so I have to stay on pace with the likes of Maria Sharapova, Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick. I was under stress, sure, but I was happy, enjoying my crazy, packed days. It happened about a year ago. One of my best friends was getting married in the Berkshire Mountains, so I flew from Charlotte, North Carolina, where I'd been on busin...

Adherence of physical therapy with clinical practice guidelines for the rehabilitation of stroke in an active inpatient setting.
CONCLUSION: This audit provides an initial picture of the current adherence of physical therapy assessment and management with the stroke physical therapy guideline at a tertiary rehabilitation hospital in the state of Qatar. An evaluation of the guideline adherence and practice variations helps to fine tune the physical therapy care to a highest possible standard of practice. Implications for Rehabilitation • An evaluation of the guideline adherence and practice variations helps to fine tune the rehabilitation care to the highest possible standard of practice. • Proper assessments of the relationshi...

Predictors of Return To Driving after Stroke (P03.157)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with higher FIM cognition and lower extremity Motricity Index scores at admission to inpatient rehabilitation are more likely to return to driving at six months. This model could be used by rehabilitation professionals to help counsel patients and their families and focus treatment goals.Supported by: American Academy of Neurology, NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, HealthSouth Corporation, Washington University McDonnell Center for Systems Neuroscience, and the Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital.Disclosure: Dr. Aufman has nothing to disclose.

Abstract 100: Effects of time to Physical Therapy Order on Length of Stay and Discharge NIH Stroke Scale Scores in an Acute Stroke Unit Poster Session I
Conclusions: Ideally, stroke patients should be evaluated for physical therapy services within 24 hours of a PO. Shortage of PT staff in a busy health care facility may impact how soon patients can be seen. Although the current pilot study did not reveal significant changes in LOS, and NIHSS scores of stroke patients at discharge irrespective of whether patients were seen by physical therapists ≤ or >48 hours after a PO, severity of the stroke, previous history of stroke or TIAs, and other co-morbidities that could have confounded the results were not examined. Future study design will take into account these potenti...

Functional Principal Component Analysis as a new methodology for the analysis of the impact of two rehabilitation protocols in functional recovery after stroke
Conclusions:
FPCA is a method which may be used to provide greater insight into the analysis of the rehabilitation process than that provided by conventional parametric methods. So, by using the whole curves as basic data parameters, subtle differences in the rehabilitation process can be found.FPCA represents a future aid for the fine analysis of similar physiotherapy techniques, when applied in subjects with a huge variability of functional recovery, as in the case of post-stroke patients.

Modeling factors predictive of functional improvement following acute stroke
Conclusion Functional status prior to stroke and motivation are predictive of functional outcome at 3 months and 6 months poststroke. We have provided a formula that can be used to predict a patient’s progress and then set treatment goals and programs accordingly.

Abstract 203: Community Based Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Program Achieves Excellent Outcomes Including Return to Work, Driving, Improved Blood Pressure Control, and Other Rehabilitation Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Participants in our interdisciplinary community-based rehabilitation program demonstrated improvements in stroke knowledge, physical function, blood pressure control, and mood, while also returning to work, driving, and participation in the community. Comparative research and multi-site studies are needed.

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.

Previous small trials of dopamine agonists after stroke provide equivocal evidence of effectiveness on improving motor recovery. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of co-careldopa plus routi...

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.
