Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke in two Scandinavian country-regions with different organisation of rehabilitation services: a prospective study.
Conclusions: Successful improvements in one-year functioning in both country-regions may result from optimising long-term rehabilitation services to address cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke could be explained by individual factors, such as pre-stroke dependency and mental health, rather than differences in the organisation of subacute rehabilitation services.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe stroke-specific health related quality of life (SS-QOL) assessment tool captures multidimensional effects of a stroke from the perspective of the patient, which is clin...

Healthcare circuits and functional outcomes 3 and 12 months after a stroke in a population-based cohort of 929 patients
In this study, carried out with an exhaustive population within a region and a one-year follow-up with few missing data, the results show a morbi-mortality after stroke higher than the one reported in previous studies. The results also confirm the better prognosis of IS.

Detection of symptoms of late complications after stroke in young survivors with active surveillance versus usual care.
CONCLUSIONS: Active surveillance leads to higher rates of early symptom detection of non-motor LCAS in young stroke survivors. Implications for rehabilitation Young stroke survivors frequently have late complications after stroke (LCAS) that impair return to pre-stroke responsibilities. Active surveillance for LCAS symptoms with a semi-structured interview increases detection of non-motor late complications. A bundled approach to screening for LCAS symptoms is pragmatic as a majority of young stroke survivors have at least one symptom but no single symptom is present in all stroke survivors. PMID: 33605166 [PubMed - a...

Recovery of arm function during acute to chronic stage of stroke quantified by kinematics
CONCLUSION: Kinematic variables of movement time, mean velocity and number of velocity peaks were effective in quantifying the recovery of the upper limb after stroke. The rate of recovery was dependent on age, stroke severity and type of stroke.PMID:33729539 | DOI:10.2340/16501977-2813

Correlates of participation six months after stroke in an Italian population: results from the RIPS (Post-Stroke Intensive Rehabilitation) Study
CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort of patients addressing postacute stroke rehabilitation, prestroke participation levels were on average good, while they were severely reduced six months after stroke for all the considered items except reading and making trips. Higher FAI at follow-up was independently associated with a higher functional level and no cognitive impairment at follow-up, with lower stroke severity in the postacute phase, as well as a higher anamnestic participation score.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Our results suggest that investigating prestroke participation may be highly relevant to predict, and possibly addr...

Stroke management: Informal caregivers’ burdens and strians of caring for stroke survivors
Conclusion and recommendation Caring for stroke survivors put social, emotional, health and financial burdens and strains on the informal caregivers. These burdens and strains increase with duration of stroke, intimacy, smaller number of caregivers and length of daily caregiving. Therefore, informal caregivers should be involved in the rehabilitation plan for stroke patients and their well-being should also be given adequate attention.

Post-stroke spasticity and shoulder pain prevalence decrease over the last 15 years
Conclusions Disabling spasticity and shoulder pain frequency in recent post-stroke patients decreased over the last 15 years, and functional abilities both at admission and discharge improved. Confirmation of these results in a multicentric study may be important evidence of an improvement in stroke healthcare both in stroke and physical and rehabilitation medicine units in the last 10 years in France and could affect future estimations of the need for rehabilitation care after stroke.

A comprehensive exercise program for a young adult male with Down syndrome who experienced a stroke.
Conclusion: Improved cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, balance and mobility provide preliminary evidence of the trainability of individuals with both DS and stroke. Future studies are warranted to investigate the role of exercise in risk factor reduction for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in people with DS. Implications for Rehabilitation Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) may be at heightened risk of stroke due to a combination of physiological conditions and lifestyle choices which contribute to reduced exercise capacity, accelerated aging patterns, moyamoya syndrome and physical inactivity as well as hig...

Caregiver burden after stroke: changes over time?
This study aims to describe the course of burden in individual caregivers in the first year after stroke. METHODS: This study is part of the Stroke Cohort Outcomes of REhabilitation study, a multicentre, longitudinal cohort study including consecutive stroke patients admitted to two rehabilitation facilities. Caregivers were asked to complete the Caregiver Strain Index and questions on their sociodemographic characteristics 6 and 12 months post admission. Patients' sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were extracted from medical records. RESULTS: A total of 129 caregivers were included, 72 completed th...

Absent median somatosensory evoked potential is a predictor of type I complex regional pain syndrome after stroke.
Conclusions: In conclusion, GHS and the absent median SEP at sub-acute phase of stroke were primary predictors of the onset of post-stoke CRPS. Implications for Rehabilitation Recent investigations have suggested that autonomic, motor and somatosensory abnormalities of CRPS are impairments involving the central nervous system (CNS) as well as the peripheral neurogenic inflammatory process. However, the understanding of the pathophysiology of CRPS is still far from complete. The absence of SEP at the sub-acute stage of stroke correlated with the onset of post-stroke CRPS type I. The SEP evaluation at the sub-acute period af...
