The relevance of stroke care for living well with post-stroke aphasia: a qualitative interview study with working-aged adults.
CONCLUSIONS: The results highlight a need for equitable, transparent, responsive access to services, information and stroke liaison support. The findings extend knowledge of the importance of stroke care for supporting working-aged adults and their families to live well in the context of aphasia. Implications for rehabilitation There is a need for equitable, transparent access to a responsive integrated pathway of stroke care to support living well with aphasia. People with aphasia post-stroke and their families need access to person-centred stroke care and information responsive to their changing needs at all stages of re...

Factors influencing the amount of therapy received during inpatient stroke care: an analysis of data from the UK Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme.
CONCLUSION: The amount of stroke therapy is associated with unmodifiable patient-related characteristics and modifiable organizational factors in that more therapy was associated with higher therapy and nurse staffing levels, specialist stroke rehabilitation services, timely therapy assessments, and the presence of weekend and early discharge services.

Use of the maximal phonation test for the screening of dysphagia in stroke patients: a preliminary study.
CONCLUSIONS: In stroke patients, MPT could be used to detect penetration or aspirations while swallowing. and seems to have appropriate validity and sensitivity. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: MPT is proposed as a new screening tool for detecting dysphagia in stroke patients, especially airway aspiration. PMID: 31797658 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association Between Spasticity and Functional Impairments During the First Year After Stroke in Korea: The KOSCO Study
Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between spasticity severity and functional outcomes during the first year after stroke. Design The Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation is a large, multicenter, prospective cohort study of all patients with acute first-ever stroke admitted to participating hospitals in nine Korean areas. To investigate the correlation between spasticity severity and functional status measured by using the Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Fun...

Rehabilitation in oldest-old stroke patients: a comparison within over 65 population.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite advancing age seems to be associated with a reduced effectiveness of the rehabilitation process and a greater number of complications, intensive rehabilitation can produce significant functional gains for all stroke survivors, regardless of age. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Understanding the specificity of this population will offer older subjects targeted interventions and, for health systems, better allocation of resources and the development of more effective approaches.

The management of patients with functional stroke: speech and language therapists' views and experiences.
CONCLUSIONS: As healthcare professionals, participants were keen to help their patients. However, they felt they did not have the skills or knowledge to help which caused professional turmoil. Reducing stigma and increasing awareness and knowledge of functional stroke are required to improve patient outcomes. PMID: 33406948 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Exploring oral care practices, barriers, and facilitators in an inpatient stroke unit: a thematic analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This study illustrates the complexities of oral care in the inpatient stroke setting and gives voice to the perspectives of nursing and speech-language pathology staff. It is clear that future oral health interventions in this setting require a comprehensive approach to addressing barriers and should prioritise the concerns of staff delivering the care.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe delivery of good oral care post-stroke is essential, but in practice is difficult due to limited time and supplies, inadequate education, fear of harm to patient and self, and perceived low priority of the care.Speech-language ...

Assessment and rehabilitation of acquired communication disorders in aboriginal and Torres strait islander adults with stroke or traumatic brain injury: a retrospective chart review
CONCLUSIONS: Informal approaches to assess ACDs were commonly employed which may be because they are perceived to be more culturally appropriate. Clinical guidelines for stroke and TBI should accommodate the diversity of cultures and languages. Better consideration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communication styles and incorporation of these into SLP ACD management approaches may facilitate accurate diagnosis and culturally safe rehabilitation services.Implications for RehabilitationInformal approaches for assessment and intervention of ACDs, that incorporate yarning and salient tasks, are likely to be more cult...

Supporting post-stroke access to services and resources for individuals with low income: understanding usual care practices in acute care and rehabilitation settings
CONCLUSION: To better support post-stroke access to social services and resource for low-income individuals, a multidisciplinary approach, with actions beginning earlier on and extending throughout the continuum of care, is recommended, in addition to system-level advocacy.PMID:37067052 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2199462

Effects of mechanical inspiration and expiration exercise on velopharyngeal incompetence in subacute stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: Mechanical inspiration and expiration exercise had a therapeutic effect on velopharyngeal incompetence in subacute stroke patients with dysphagia. This therapy is easy to provide clinically and could be a useful therapeutic strategy for velo-pharyngeal incompetence with dysphagia in patients with stroke.

Transcranial direct current stimulation in post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation: a systematic review
ConclusionEvidence from published peer reviewed literature is effective for post stroke aphasia rehabilitation at the chronic stages. tDCS devices are easy to use, safe and inexpensive. They can be used in routine clinical practice by speech therapists for aphasia rehabilitation. However, further studies should investigate the effectiveness in the sub-acute post-stroke phase and determine the effect of the lesion for precisely identifying the targeted brain areas. We discuss crucial challenges for future studies.
