The impact of robot-mediated adaptive I-TRAVLE training on impaired upper limb function in chronic stroke and multiple sclerosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Robot-mediated training resulted in improved movement coordination in both groups, as well as clinical improvement in pwMS. Absence of functional improvements in stroke patients may relate to severe upper limb dysfunction at baseline. Implications for Rehabilitation Robot-mediated training improved strength, active range of motion and upper limb capacity in pwMS. Robot-mediated therapy allows for adapted training difficulty.

Intensive seated robotic training of the ankle in patients with chronic stroke differentially improves gait.
CONCLUSIONS: Joint-specific robotic training of the paretic ankle provided the most benefit to individuals with moderate or mild gait speed impairments after stroke. Baseline gait speed function (low, moderate, high) was associated with three distinct recovery profiles. This suggests that severity-specific intervention may be critical to improving efficiency of stroke recovery.

Treadmill training to improve mobility for people with sub-acute stroke: a phase II feasibility randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Treadmill training in sub-acute stroke patients was feasible but showed no significant difference in outcomes when compared to normal gait re-education. A large definitive randomized trial is now required to explore treadmill training in normal clinical practice.

Does a cycling program combined with education and followed by coaching promote physical activity in subacute stroke patients? A randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: When active cycling combined with education is used in subacute patients with severe motor function deficits, more sport participation might be observed after one year. No other significant group differences were found over time. In all groups, however, patients showed significant improvement over time in physical activity measures. Future work is needed to explore the most effective coaching approach after an aerobic training program. Implications for Rehabilitation The active cycling program combined with education is applicable in subacute stroke patients as it required little stand-by assistance due to chip...

Effects of walking trainings on walking function among stroke survivors: a systematic review
Physical function is often compromised as a result of stroke event. Although interventions propose different strategies that seek to improve stroke survivors’ physical function, a need remains to evaluate walking training studies aimed at improving such physical function. The aim of this review was to assess the available literature that highlights the impact of walking training on enhancing walking for stroke survivors. We performed a systematic literature review of online databases – Google Scholar, PubMed, CINHAL, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and EBSCO – with the following inclusion criteria: manuscript published fro...

Robot-assisted gait training effectively improved lateropulsion in subacute stroke patients: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: RAGT ameliorated lateropulsion and balance function more effectively than CPT in subacute stroke patients.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Early RAGT may be recommended for patients with lateropulsion after stroke.

Centre of pressure displacements produced in sitting during virtual reality training in younger and older adults and patients who have had a stroke.
Conclusions: Some VRT games were more likely to push participants to challenge their limits of stability. Others required less displacement but more trunk stability. These results can guide which VRT games are used for the rehabilitation of sitting balance after stroke. Implications for rehabilitation Some virtual reality training games produce greater displacements of the centre of pressure in sitting than others, suggesting that careful matching between game challenge and desired therapeutic outcome is necessary when selecting games. Virtual reality training performed in sitting with feet on the floor challenges sitting ...

Effect of cycling and functional electrical stimulation with linear and interval patterns of timing on gait parameters in patients after stroke: a randomized clinical trial.
Conclusions: The functional electrical stimulation with cycling protocols improved the Functional Ambulation Classification, Timed 10-Meter Walk Test, active range of motion, Timed Up and Go Test, and Modified Modified Ashworth scale. An interval protocol of timing was more effective than the linear protocol in terms of spasticity and active range of motion.Implications for rehabilitationCycling + functional electrical stimulation training with an interval pattern of timing seems superior to cycling + functional electrical stimulation training with a linear pattern.Interval protocol has positive effects on spastici...

Self-perceived functioning and disability after randomized conventional and electromechanically-assisted gait training in subacute stroke: a 6 months follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that EAGT and conventional gait training in the subacute stage after stroke have no differential impact on self-perceived functioning, disability and recovery at 6 months after stroke. Further, the study highlights the importance of interventions targeting ADL and self-care independence during stroke rehabilitation to enhance self-perceived recovery and clinical aspects to be targeted to enhance perceived mobility.

The long-term unmet needs of informal carers of stroke survivors at home: a systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies.
Conclusions: Evidence from this review suggests that carers are experiencing a range of long-term unmet needs, particularly in education and training, coping and managing their own emotions, and accessing much-needed services. Recommendations to support carers at home include continuing engagement, assessment, and support from health care providers and services to meet the needs of carers throughout the stroke recovery process.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONCarers of stroke survivors experience complex long-term unmet needs around managing the recovery process of the stroke survivor when they have been discharged from hosp...

Repetitions, duration and intensity of upper limb practice following the implementation of robot assisted therapy with sub-acute stroke survivors: an observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to have observed an increase in UL practice with the inclusion of RT-UL as part of routine clinical practice. This increase in practice is considered to be due to RT-UL providing highly supportive and expeditious semi-supervised practice. Notably, RT-UL was able to be implemented within the existing organisational structures with only basic training of therapy staff. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Robotics presents as a viable intervention to increase the amount and intensity of upper limb practice performed by stroke survivors in routine clinical practice Robotics were able to be impl...

Comprehensive Respiratory Muscle Training Improves Pulmonary Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Acute Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSION: Four weeks of comprehensive RMT in patients with acute stroke resulted in significantly greater improvements in both pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength than SR. Therefore, RMT has the potential to reduce post-stroke respiratory complications.
