Community ambulation of stroke survivors at 6 months follow-up: an observational study on sociodemographic and sub-acute clinical indicators.
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of risk factors and clinical complications delay significantly the walking ability restoration and return to social life. Such status consistently with the patient's compliance must not postpone the rehabilitation relatively, rehabilitation must be facilitated with targeted programs taking care particularly of people with negative indicators for recovery of community ambulation 6 months post-stroke.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Early indicators are considerable in order to predict a targeted prognosis and better provide a tailored rehabilitation program.

Comparison between EQ-5D-5L and PROMIS-10 to evaluate health-related quality of life 3 months after stroke: a cross-sectional multicenter study.
CONCLUSIONS: Both EQ-5D-5L and PROMIS-10 prove to be useful instruments to evaluate HRQoL in patients who are living at home 3 months after stroke.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: It depends on the setting and underlying goal which patient-reported outcome measure is preferred to evaluate HRQoL 3 months after stroke. The PROMIS-10 should be preferred to detect differences in less affected stroke patients, whereas the EQ-5D-5L provides slightly more information in more affected stroke patients.

Self-management and self-efficacy in stroke survivors: validation of the Italian version of the stroke self-efficacy questionnaire.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings supported the validity of the Italian version of the Stroke Self-efficacy questionnaire. It measures two dimensions of self-efficacy, activity and self-management, strongly related to independence and recovery after stroke and therefore it represents a useful tool to assess self-efficacy.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The Italian version of the Stroke Self-efficacy questionnaire is a valid and reliable measure of self-efficacy. Clinicians can use this instrument to target rehabilitation interventions according to patients' individual confidence in their functional and self-management capaci...

Functional profiles derived from the ICF Generic set and the responsiveness and validity of the Generic-6 set's Functioning score among persons after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: ICF classification of persons post stroke during rehabilitation recovery was feasible. The Generic-6 FS detected changes in functioning and health in persons recovered for rehabilitation after stroke and distinguished between different recovery rates of persons in the acute and chronic phase after stroke.PMID:34542256 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.21.06706-X

Stroke rehabilitation: availability of a family member as caregiver and discharge destination.
Conclusion: Literature is rich with studies showing functional independence to be the most important predictor of home as discharge disposition but our analysis shows that pre-stroke living arrangement, i.e., lived alone vs lived not alone is also an important predictor for patients to be discharged home after stroke rehabilitation. Clinical rehabilitation impact: If current discharge planning relies on the availability of a caregiver at home after discharge from in-patient stroke rehabilitation then it may be worthwhile to include these caregivers in the inpatient rehabilitation process, to prepare them for their loved on...

Evaluation of manual ability in stroke patients in Benin: cultural adaptation and Rasch validation of the ABILHAND-Stroke questionnaire.
CONCLUSIONS: The ABILHAND-stroke is a Rasch validated, unidimensional and invariant questionnaire to assess manual ability among Beninese patients. The ordinal score can be transformed into linear score using a conversion table.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This assessment tool is clinically relevant in Benin, a developing country, since it requires no specific equipment or training. It should promote and standardize assessments for stroke patients in clinical practice and research in this African country.

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...

Content validation of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Set for stroke from gender perspective using a qualitative approach.
Conclusion: This study confirms that the experience of functioning and disability after stroke shows communalities and differences for women and men. The validity of the extended ICF Core Set for stroke could be mostly confirmed, since it does not only include those areas of functioning and disability relevant to both genders but also those exclusively relevant to either women or men. Clinical Rehabilitation Impact. Further research is needed on ICF categories not yet included in the extended ICF Core Set for stroke.

Post-stroke rehabilitation in Italy: inconsistencies across regional strategies.
Conclusion: The study highlights the issue that, in Italy, delivery of post-stroke rehabilitation services is not uniform nation-wide and varies substantially across regions. The lack of a comprehensive postacute stroke strategy is a major obstacle to service availability. Clinical Rehabilitation Impact: The study results advocate the need for a consistent and comprehensive strategic planning of post-stroke rehabilitation in Italy.

The use of shoulder orthoses post-stroke: effects on balance and gait. A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: So far no strong evidence is available regarding a potential benefit of wearing an arm sling on balance and gait for stroke patients. However, further research with longer intervention periods, can be useful to determine if stroke patients in the early phases after stroke or with persistent UL paresis might possibly benefit from wearing an arm sling.

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
