Associations Between Physical Activity Intensities and Physical Function in Stroke Survivors
Conclusions These findings suggest that light activity as well as moderate to vigorous physical activity may contribute to better physical functioning in stroke survivors. Although moderate to vigorous physical activity significantly predicted the objective measure of physical function (Short Physical Performance Battery), light physical activity consistently predicted higher scores on all subscales of the Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument. Disabilities resulting from stroke may limit this population from engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity, and these findings highlight the importance of light p...

Nutritional status as a predictor of comprehensive activities of daily living function and quality of life in patients with stroke
CONCLUSIONS: This study has revealed a relationship between nutritional status, comprehensive ADL function, and QOL among patients with stroke. Patients with stroke with better nutritional status had higher ADL function as well as better QOL. The MNA-SF was useful in predicting comprehensive ADL, whereas, the full MNA could be used to predict QOL. Knowledge and evidence of the association and predictive power of the MNA-SF and full MNA could guide clinicians to choose tools for assessing the nutritional status of patients with stroke more effectively.PMID:33814468 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-201540

Management of post-stroke fatigue: an Australian health professional survey
CONCLUSIONS: Few Australian health professionals formally assess post-stroke fatigue. Management is multidisciplinary and based on evidence from fatigue management in other conditions.Implications for rehabilitationMost health professionals are not routinely using formal assessment tools for fatigue, possibly due to a lack of consensus on best practice in research.Common strategies recommended by health professionals include energy optimisation strategies, education and exercise.Comprehensive guidelines for post-stroke fatigue management are yet to be established.Health professionals should assess post-stroke fatigue using...

Effects of vitamin C stimulation on rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke: a randomized trial
CONCLUSION: Vitamin C acid stimulation significantly improves rehabilitation of stroke patients with dysphagia, and ameliorates the nutritional status and immune function of patients.PMID:35362717 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.22.07337-3
