Quantitative evaluation of gait kinematics in post-stroke patients: The effects of a specific integrated upper limb rehabilitation
Research question: The aims of the present study are: analyse the effects of an innovative integrated upper limb rehabilitative treatment in a post-stroke patient and assess gait kinematics changes using instrumental evaluation.

Three dimensional kinematic analyses of movement control of individual fingers post-stroke
Research question: Objectives of the present study are: (1) to quantify finger movements in a 3D context and (2) by this method investigate the ability to perform individualized finger movements, with and without vision of the hands, in persons with a chronic stroke diagnosis compared to able-bodied controls.

Does kinematics add meaningful information to clinical assessment in upper limb rehabilitation after stroke?
Research question: The aims of this study were: (a) quantify the upper limb impairments in post-stroke patients; (b) quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of an upper limb rehabilitation program; (c) gain more clinically meaningful information using kinematic analysis in addition to clinical assessment.

The energy cost of walking in stroke survivors: (How) does holding a handrail work?
Research question: We aimed to investigate the effect of physical support (through handrail hold) and/or somatosensory input (through light touch contact with a handrail) on energy cost and accompanying changes in step parameters and neuromuscular activity during walking in stroke survivors.

The use of a planar and simple robotic device to investigate how chronic stroke patients learn a movement
Introduction: The ability of chronic stroke patients to learn a new movement is not well known in literature yet. A way to investigate motor outcome after rehabilitation is to use robotic devices that allow the objective and repeatable assessment of the acquired movement.

Gait stability indices and their relationship with clinical scale scores in stroke patients
Introduction: Stroke patients are at particular risk for falling [1]. Gait stability, defined as the capacity of maintaining equilibrium minimizing accelerations at upper body level [2], is considered as a major factor in fall risk assessment [3]. To quantify gait stability, clinical scales are normally used in clinics. However, they are highly operator-dependent thus lacking reliability [3]. On the other hand, objective methods exist that quantify gait stability in terms of acceleration at upper body level and its attenuation going from the lower to the upper trunk and head.

Posturography using the Wii Balance Board™. A feasibility study with healthy adults and adults post-stroke
The high incidence and prevalence of balance disorders after stroke and their implications for most daily activities make assessment and rehabilitation of balance a priority [1]. Severity of balance deficits have been traditionally assessed using clinical scales [2], which are usually easy to administer in the clinic and not time-consuming. However, balance scales and tests can be influenced by subjective bias and they provide limited sensitivity to, and information about, sensory integration [3].

Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection: Posterior circulation stroke
Manoj Deshmukh, Anju Wadhwa, Ravi RajdeoJournal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine 2015 6(4):206-208Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is relatively rare but an important cause of posterior circulation stroke. A 46-year-male complaining of sudden onset headache, neck pain with right-sided neuro deficit in the form of hemiparesis was evaluated by contrast magnetic resonance imaging and dual-energy computed tomography (CT) and brain neck angiography which revealed a short segment extracranial left-sided VAD, associated with acute infarct in the left occipital region. The patient was managed conservatively and f...

Ankle muscle coactivation during gait is decreased immediately after anterior weight shift practice in adults after stroke
Gait is a fundamental component of activities of daily living, and regaining the ability to walk is a major goal of stroke rehabilitation for adults with hemiplegia [1]. Common characteristics of hemiplegic gait are decreased gait speed [2], asymmetrical gait pattern [2], and increased energetic cost [3]. These gait dysfunctions are mainly caused by impaired function of the paretic lower limb due to muscle weakness [4], sensory dysfunction [4], and disturbed control of lower limb muscle activation [5,6].

Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy Based on Stroke Volume Variation in Patients Undergoing Major Spine Surgery in the Prone Position: A Cohort Study
Conclusion. Our study shows that application of a GDFT based on SVV in major spine surgery is feasible and can lead to reduced blood losses and transfusions, better postoperative respiratory performance, shorter ICU stay, and faster return of bowel function.

Achilles tendon morphology and plantar flexors torque in spastic hemiparetic stroke survivors
The larger passive torque and ankle joint stiffness from stroke survivors with similar Achilles tendon length compared to healthy subjects seem to be unrelated to tendon extensibility.
