Differences in Skeletal Muscle Fiber Characteristics between Affected and Nonaffected Limbs in Individuals with Stroke: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSIONS: Of the limited available evidence, stroke appears to result in a shift to a higher proportion of type II muscle fibers in the paretic muscles. There are mixed results for effects on muscle fiber CSA, but there is some evidence of specific atrophy of type II muscle fibers.IMPACT: Changes in paretic skeletal muscle fibers of individuals with stroke may explain, in part, the substantial losses in strength and power in this population. Interventions to restore type II muscle fiber size may benefit people with stroke.PMID:37478464 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad095

A review of combined neuromodulation and physical therapy interventions for enhanced neurorehabilitation
Rehabilitation approaches for individuals with neurologic conditions have increasingly shifted toward promoting neuroplasticity for enhanced recovery and restoration of function. This review focuses on exercise strategies and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques that target neuroplasticity, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). We have chosen to focus on non-invasive neuromodulation techniques due to their greater potential for integration into routine clinical practice. We explore and discuss the application of these interventional stra...

Ischemic Stroke Management: Posthospitalization and Transition of Care
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Jul;108(1):70-77.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack exist on a continuum of the same disease process. Ischemic stroke is common, and more than 85% of stroke risk is attributed to modifiable risk factors. The initial management of acute stroke is usually performed in the emergency department and hospital settings. Family physicians have a key role in follow-up, ensuring that a complete diagnostic evaluation has been performed, addressing modifiable risk factors, facilitating rehabilitation, and managing chronic s...

Physical Activity Behavior and Its Association With Global Cognitive Function Three Months After Stroke: The Nor-COAST Study
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to previous research, in the present study, most participants adhered to the updated global PA guidelines. However, people who had survived stroke and had reduced cognitive function were at higher risk of inactivity, an association mediated by physical capacity.IMPACT: A better understanding of the association between cognition and PA behavior after stroke might help for developing more targeted early-onset interventions.PMID:37440440 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad092

Aerobic Exercise Improves Cortical Inhibitory Function After Stroke: A Preliminary Investigation
CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings provide novel evidence for selective benefits of aerobic exercise on inhibitory control during the initial 4-week period after initiation of exercise training and implicate a potential therapeutic effect of lactate on poststroke inhibitory control.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the video, Supplemental Digital Content 1 available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A450).PMID:37436187 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000453

Top-down and bottom-up stimulation techniques combined with action observation treatment in stroke rehabilitation: a perspective
Stroke is a central nervous system disease that causes structural lesions and functional impairments of the brain, resulting in varying types, and degrees of dysfunction. The bimodal balance-recovery model (interhemispheric competition model and vicariation model) has been proposed as the mechanism of functional recovery after a stroke. We analyzed how combinations of motor observation treatment approaches, transcranial electrical (TES) or magnetic (TMS) stimulation and peripheral electrical (PES) or magnetic (PMS) stimulation techniques can be taken as accessorial physical therapy methods on symptom reduction of stroke pa...
