Post-stroke gait training practices in a low resource setting: A cross-sectional survey among Indian physiotherapists
CONCLUSION: The findings of the study point toward a lack of evidence-based practice among Indian physiotherapists while training gait after stroke. This implied the urgent need for development and implementation of country specific guidelines for stroke rehabilitation.PMID:33967067 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-210013

A systematic review of non-drug interventions to prevent and treat anxiety in people with aphasia after stroke
CONCLUSION: Definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of non-drug interventions for the prevention and/or treatment of anxiety in people with aphasia post-stroke cannot be made. Interventions that may show promise for those with aphasia and symptoms of anxiety include mindfulness meditation, modified cognitive behaviour therapy, unilateral nostril breathing, and the "Enhance Psychological Coping after Stroke" programme. Further high-quality research with better reporting of the inclusion of participants with aphasia and their specific sub-group results are required.Implications for RehabilitationIt is important for re...

Visual perceptual deficit screening in stroke survivors: evaluation of current practice in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland
CONCLUSIONS: Visual perceptual deficits are screened post-stroke at a similar rate to sensory vision or visual neglect. Underdiagnosis of visual perceptual deficits may stem from both reliance on subjective and non-standardised screening approaches, and conflicting definitions of visual perception held among clinicians. We recommend increased training provision and use of brief performance-based screening tools.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONLack of agreement among clinicians on what constitutes as visual perceptual or sensory vision deficits may prove problematic, as precise and exact language is often required for clinic...

Patients' and therapists' experience and perception of exoskeleton-based physiotherapy during subacute stroke rehabilitation: a qualitative analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with stroke were even more optimistic than therapists toward the experience and benefits of exoskeleton-based gait training during subacute stroke rehabilitation. Future clinical practice should consider the balance between actual and perceived benefits, as well as the potential barriers to integrating an exoskeleton into stroke rehabilitation.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPowered robotic exoskeletons can be used to provide higher duration and more repetitious walking practice for non-ambulatory patients with stroke.Patients with stroke view exoskeleton-based physiotherapy highly favorably, attributi...

Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: Virtual Stroke Rehabilitation Interim Consensus Statement 2022
The seventh edition of the Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations for Rehabilitation and Recovery following Stroke includes a new section devoted to the provision of virtual stroke rehabilitation. This consensus statement uses Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations methodology and Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II principles. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. An expert writing group reviewed all evidence and developed recommendations, as well as consensus-based clinical considerations where evidence was insufficient for a r...

Cardiovascular fitness as a predictor of functional recovery in subacute stroke patients.
Conclusion: These results indicate that baseline cardiovascular fitness correlates significantly with the baseline functional status, in addition to being an important prognostic factor regarding the functional recovery of subacute stroke patients. Implications for Rehabilitation Reduced cardiovascular fitness is a well-studied physical impairment in stroke patients. Baseline cardiovascular fitness correlates significantly with the baseline functional status, in addition to being an important prognostic factor regarding the functional recovery of subacute stroke patients. Early intensive aerobic exercise training could be ...

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.

Effect of trunk-restraint training on function and compensatory trunk, shoulder and elbow patterns during post-stroke reach: a systematic review.
Conclusions: Trunk restraint is a simple, cost-effective technique that may help to reduce compensatory trunk/shoulder/elbow movements in the post-stroke adult population. Synthesis of study outcomes also highlights applications of TR to clinical practice and areas for further research. Implications for Rehabilitation The ability to use the shoulder and elbow to perform functional reach is a primary goal in post-stroke recovery; however, compensatory trunk movements are often used to achieve the reaching goal. Long-term use of compensatory strategies may contribute to secondary impairments, such as learned non-use, joint c...

Stroke rehabilitation at home before and after discharge reduced disability and improved quality of life: A randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Early home-based rehabilitation reduced disability and increased quality of life. Compared to standard care, home-based stroke rehabilitation was more cost-effective.

The H2 robotic exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation after stroke: early findings from a clinical study
Conclusions:
The developed exoskeleton enables longitudinal overground training of walking in hemiparetic patients after stroke. The system is robust and safe when applied to assist a stroke patient performing an overground walking task. Such device opens the opportunity to study means to optimize a rehabilitation treatment that can be customized for individuals.Trial registration: This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02114450).

Speed and temporal-distance adaptations during non-motorized treadmill walking in stroke and non-disabled individuals.
CONCLUSION: Participants ambulated with significantly lower speeds on the NMT than during OG. Participants with stroke use a different strategy to increase walking velocity during NMT walking, relying mostly on increasing the cadence.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Lower speed during NMT walking indicated that lesser total distance covered with NMT training when compared to OG gait training, which may inadvertently impact training amount. This is an important obstacle to overcome in order for NMT to be used effectively in the retraining of gait in patients with stroke.

Short-term effect of local muscle vibration treatment versus sham therapy on upper limb in chronic post-stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Rehabilitation treatment with local muscle high frequency (300 Hz) vibration for 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks, could significantly improve muscle strength and decrease muscle tonus, disability and pain in upper limb of hemiplegic post-stroke patients.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Local muscle vibration treatment might be an additional and safe tool in the management of chronic post-stroke patients, granted its high therapeutic efficiency, limited cost and short and repeatable protocol of use.
