What is a return to work after stroke? 12-month outcomes in a feasibility trial.
Conclusion: This study illustrates the heterogeneous nature of return to work and the dramatic impact of stroke on work status, working hours and income. Longitudinal research should explore the socioeconomic legacy of stroke and include clear definitions of work and accurate measures of working hours and income from all sources.

Botuloscope: 1-year follow-up of upper limb post-stroke spasticity treated with botulinum toxin
ConclusionThis is the first long-term follow-up of BoNT-A treatment for upper limb spasticity involving a large cohort independent of industry. Quality of life was improved by treating upper limb spasticity with BoNT-A, even at 5 years post-stroke. Personalizing objectives of the treatment amplified its efficacy. BoNT-A was a powerful analgesic when pain was spasticity-related. Treating the spastic upper limb also improved balance and gait abilities.

Transvertebral direct current stimulation paired with locomotor training in chronic spinal cord injury: A case study.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that combining cathodal tvDCS and LT-RGO may improve functional outcomes, increase corticospinal excitability, and possibly decrease spasticity. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these conclusions.

Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Lengths of Stay in Canada Derived From the National Rehabilitation Reporting System, 2008 and 2009
Conclusions: FIM motor function scores at admission along with age and geographic region best predicted rehabilitation LOS. These variables explained 20% of the variation in LOSs. Despite regional differences in LOSs, patient characteristics were similar between regions. Other nonpatient factors not captured in these data may contribute to a greater extent in determining stroke rehabilitation LOS.

Developing stroke-specific vocational rehabilitation: a soft systems analysis of current service provision.
Conclusions: Stroke-specific VR should be delivered by an integrated, cross-sector multi-disciplinary team and integrated commissioning between health and other sectors is necessary. Although early intervention is important, support later on in the recovery process is also necessary. Service providers need adequate training to meet the needs of stroke survivors wishing to return to work and better awareness of best practice guidelines. Business cases which demonstrate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of VR are vital. Implications for Rehabilitation The timeliness of a vocational rehabilitation (VR) intervention is compl...

Correlates of health-related quality of life in African American and Caucasian stroke caregivers.
Objective: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Family caregivers are susceptible to negative outcomes as a result of their caregiving role. A stress process model was utilized to identify characteristics of stroke caregivers who are at risk for poor physical and mental health-related quality of life (QOL). Research Method: Individuals who experienced an incident stroke event within the previous year were identified from a larger epidemiologic study of stroke incidence. These stroke survivors were enrolled in the Caring for Adults Recovering from the Effects of Stroke (CARES) study along ...
