The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 can predict the institutionalization of the patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: WHODAS 2.0 scores, urbanization level, and severity of impairment were positive factors for the institutionalization of patients with stroke in long-term care facilities, whereas the female sex and an age of ≥85 years were negative factors. The cognition and mobility domains and standardized WHODAS 2.0 scores were more accurate for predicting the institutionalization of patients with stroke. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Proper analysis of the functioning status and risk factors, as well as prediction of discharge destination for the patients with stroke can help the healthcare system reduce unnecessa...

Inspiratory muscular weakness is most evident in chronic stroke survivors with lower walking speeds.
Conclusion: Stroke subjects demonstrated weakness of the respiratory muscles and lower predicted MIP values were found for the non-community ambulators. Clinical rehabilitation impact: Evaluations and interventions involving respiratory muscular training could be included in stroke rehabilitation, especially for individuals with lower functional levels.

Trunk kinematics related to generation and  transfer of the trunk flexor momentum are associated with sit-to-stand performance in chronic stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: The poorer STS performance in stroke survivors is associated to the kinematic changes of the trunk related to the poorer ability to generate/transfer the trunk flexor momentum. PMID: 27792018 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Development of a Tablet-based symbol digit modalities test for reliably assessing information processing speed in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The T-SDMT demonstrated good concurrent validity with the SDMT. Because the T-SDMT had a smaller practise effect and less random measurement error (superior test-retest reliability), it is recommended over the SDMT for assessing information processing speed in patients with stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation The Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), a common measure of information processing speed, showed a substantial practise effect and considerable random measurement error in patients with stroke. The Tablet-based SDMT (T-SDMT) has been developed to reduce the practise effect and random measurement erro...

Effects of individualized lower limb isokinetic strengthening in clinical rehabilitation of older post-stroke patients: A retrospective study
CONCLUSION: This retrospective clinical study suggests that lower limb isokinetic strengthening, individualized using the moment-velocity profile, is clinically efficient for functional recovery during post-stroke rehabilitation of older patients. Intragroup effects of isokinetic strengthening also suggest benefits for muscular parameters.PMID:37548388 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v55.7803

Development and validity of an innovative test to assess guideline-consistent clinical reasoning by physical therapists in stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: The script concordance test has good construct validity. Greater self-reported guideline knowledge, successful completion of the post-bachelor Dutch Neurorehabilitation course, as well as systematic participation in professional development activities facilitate important factors that enhance specialization. The script concordance test is a valid feedback tool for physical therapists to support professional development in the domain of stroke rehabilitation.

Relationship between clinical and instrumental balance assessments in chronic post-stroke hemiparesis subjects
Background: Stroke is often associated with balance deficits that increase the risk of falls and may lead to severe mobility disfunctions or death. The purpose of this study is to establish the relation between the outcome of instrumented posturography and of the most commonly used clinical balance tests, and investigate their role for obtaining reliable feedback on stroke patients' balance impairment. Methods: Romberg test was performed on 20 subjects, 10 hemiplegic post-stroke subjects (SS, 69.4 +/- 8.2 years old) and 10 control subjects (CS, 61.6 +/- 8.6 years old), with 1 Bertec force plate. The following parameters we...

A more symmetrical gait after split-belt treadmill walking increases the effort in paretic plantar flexors in people post-stroke.
CONCLUSION: A more symmetrical gait increases paretic plantar flexor efforts. Individuals post-stroke presenting high plantar flexor efforts when walking have limited muscle capacity to increase non-paretic step after split-belt walking. PMID: 27345026 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Group-based circuit training to improve mobility after stroke: a cross-sectional survey of German and Austrian physical therapists in outpatient settings
CONCLUSION: German and Austrian PTs do not yet use GCT in outpatient physical therapy for stroke. Almost half of PTs, however, employ task-oriented training as recommended across guidelines. A detailed, theory-driven and country-specific evaluation of barriers to GCT uptake is necessary to inform implementation.PMID:37424481 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230010
