Lower-extremity constraint-induced movement therapy improved motor function, mobility, and walking after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: In an outpatient clinic setting, high-intensity LE-CIMT statistically significant improved motor function, functional mobility, and walking ability in middle-aged patients in the sub-acute and chronic post-stroke phases. However, studies with more robust designs need to be conducted to deepen the understanding of the efficacy of LE-CIMT.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: High-intensity LE-CIMT may be a feasible and useful treatment option in outpatient clinics to improve post-stroke walking ability.PMID:36892520 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.07683-9

Transport use limitations and its association with social participation among patients with stroke living in rural India
CONCLUSIONS: Independent use of different modes of transport, particularly public transportation, reduced among rural Indian stroke survivors. These transport limitations are significantly associated with reduced social participation, highlighting the need for interventions to improve accessibility and fostering greater community engagement for stroke survivors in this population.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONLimited transportation access limits social participation for stroke survivors in rural India.Study results show a significant decrease in independent transport use among stroke survivors, affecting their social part...

Body, coping and self-identity. A qualitative 5-year follow-up study of stroke.
Conclusion: Stroke survivors suffered considerable ongoing and changing difficulties in relation to disability, self-perception and to coping with a new life. This continuous process of change could be seen to drain their energy. The study shows that many survivors live a more home-centred life with fewer social relations and less active participation in their community. This can entail the risk of depression and loneliness. The study also shows, however, that adopting an optimistic approach to life can lead to continued learning about abilities and limitations, to the development of new skills and to the fashioning of a n...

Stroke Social Network Scale: development and psychometric evaluation of a new patient-reported measure.
Conclusions:The Stroke Social Network Scale is a new measure that demonstrates good internal consistency, validity and responsiveness to change. PMID: 23576033 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Validation of the Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke (LUNS) monitoring tool: a multicentre study.
Conclusions:The Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke tool is acceptable, reliable, can be self-completed, and used to identify longer-term unmet needs after stroke. PMID: 23787941 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Treatment components for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke: a survey of UK national practice.
Conclusion: From the treatment components described, the highest number of treatment components was listed for the moderately impaired patient. The treatment components used by the units surveyed are quite consistent with the 2012 Clinical Guidelines for Stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation The survey captured five substantive categories of treatment that describe most active patient participation, moderately active patient participation, non-active patient participation, assistive technology and other. Overall, the treatment components described by the units are quite consistent with the 2012 UK Clinical Guidelines for...

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...

Comparison of three instruments to assess changes of motor impairment in acute hemispheric stroke: the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (SIAS), the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Canadian Neurological Scale (CNS).
Conclusions: Although the assessment results with the three instruments were highly inter-correlated, the SIAS performed better with respect to responsiveness to changes. Implication for Rehabilitation When providing rehabilitation services to patients with stroke, it is important to document objectively the level of their impairment from the acute stage and during the entire course of rehabilitation with standardized instrument, and to predict their functional outcomes as early and accurately as possible. This study therefore compared three representative instruments with established psychometric properties, the SIAS, the...

Physical activity monitoring in stroke: SenseWear Pro2 Activity accelerometer versus Yamax Digi-Walker SW-200 Pedometer.
Conclusion: YDWP and SWP2A are both reliable. Only knee-worn YDWP is a valid device to measure steps except high intensity walking in stroke. YDWP systematically undercounts steps during other activities of short duration. This study could not demonstrate valid measurement of steps/EE in stroke using SWP2A. Implications for Rehabilitation Stroke is a disabling disease with residual neurologic deficits, which impairs mobility and predisposes them to sedentary behavior. A Yamax Digi-Walker SW-200 knee-worn pedometer showed to be a valid and reliable technique to measure ambulatory activity in stroke. A valid instrument to me...
