Letter to the Editor on “Chronic Phase Survival Rate in Stroke Patients With Severe Functional Limitations According to the Frequency of Rehabilitation Treatment”
We have read with great interest the article by Park et al1 entitled “Chronic Phase Survival Rate in Stroke Patients with Severe Functional Limitations According to the Frequency of Rehabilitation Treatment.”1 They investigated the chronic phase survival rate (from 24 to 120 months after the onset) of stroke patients with severe functional limitations, according to the frequency of rehabilitation treatment from the stroke onset to 24 months after the stroke. For the study, data on 593 patients were collected from the Korea National Health Insurance Database from 2007 to 2018.

Long-Term Rehabilitation Utilization Pattern Among Stroke Patients Under the National Health Insurance Program
Conclusions Besides personal factors, geographic factors such as urban-rural gaps and number of therapists were significantly associated with the utilization of post-stroke rehabilitation care.

Exploring the lived return-to-work experience of individuals with acquired brain injury: use of vocational services and environmental, personal and injury-related influences
CONCLUSIONS: The use and effectiveness of vocational services were variable across participants and depended on insurance coverage and needs. Barriers and facilitators for RTW were affected by both the environment and the individual. Implications for vocational rehabilitation were identified.Implications for RehabilitationA supportive workplace and family, and access to appropriate vocational rehabilitation are important environmental facilitators for RTW in individuals with ABI.Workplaces with a poor understanding of ABI and employment service providers unable to find work for individuals with ABI are environmental barrie...

Effect of intensive rehabilitation on improvement of activity of daily living after intracerebral hemorrhage: a retrospective observational study
Between 2008 and 2012, the intensity of rehabilitation therapy for the recovery phase of stroke was gradually increased at our hospital in line with the policy of Japan’s National Insurance System. Training hours increased from 0.8 to 2.5 hours/day without introducing any new techniques, programs, or equipment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the increased intensity of rehabilitation on the improvement of activity of daily living of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. We retrospectively compared patient outcomes for the periods 2013–2017 (N = 162) and 2003–2007 (N = 116) using the ga...

Factors Influencing Access to Follow-Up Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis was identified as the most important criterion for follow-up rehabilitation access. No measurable factors of functioning seem to have a big influence. Therefore, the individual doctor's decision to submit an application is of particular importance. Especially because of the low level of medical knowledge on the indication catalog of the German pension insurance, the medical treatment based on professional experience as well as the lack of further education possibilities (Gottschling-Lang, 2016), it can be assumed that the follow-up rehabilitation is less standardized and systematic. In order to e...

The Correlation Between the Length of Stay and Improvements in Post Acute Care Stroke Patients
To investigate whether the duration of hospitalization in post acute care(PAC) correlates to the patients ’ improvements since there’s no research evaluating the effects of PAC for stroke patients ever since the PAC plan inaugurated in Taiwan. PAC is a transitional care following acute medical stage for stroke patients and offering a more intensive rehabilitative program. According to National Healt h Insurance in Taiwan, only patients encountered acute stroke within one month, under relative stable medical condition and had potential for aggressive rehabilitation could transfer to PAC institution.

Who among patients with acquired brain injury returned to work after occupational rehabilitation? The rapid-return-to-work-cohort-study.
CONCLUSIONS: Women and patients with non-comorbid impairments returned to work earlier than men and patients with multiple impairments. There seems to be an association between intense and long-lasting participation in the RTW program and prolonged time-to first-RTW, even after controlling for level of cognitive impairments and comorbidity. Implications for Rehabilitation Acquired brain injury (ABI) is known to be severely disabling, and persons with ABI often experience difficulties in regard to returning to work. This study provides information on prognostic factors that might contribute to return to work (RTW) for patie...

Functional independence measure scores predict level of long-term care required by patients after stroke: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.
Conclusions: FIM scores on admission after stroke can independently predict later care requirements. Early prediction of LTCI care levels may contribute to the early supported discharge and improve the efficiency of healthcare planning. Implications for Rehabilitation There is a clear relationship between Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores and the care levels certified by the Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) system, a national healthcare and insurance system in Japan. FIM scores on admission can predict future LTCI care levels required for patients after acute stroke. Early prediction of LTCI care levels may contr...

Physio- and Occupationaltherapy Pathways of Stroke Patients and Stroke Mortality.
This study examines the relationship between adherence to clinical guidelines and survival time in the first year after stroke.The sample comprises all clients of the Deutsche BKK, a large German health insurance company, who received acute inpatient care for stroke in 2007, who survived the hospital stay by at least 14 days, and who had motor deficits at the end of their acute treatment (n=1 791). 3 types of treatment that differ in the degree of adherence to clinical guidelines are identified ("Frühreha-Plus">"Standard-Plus">"Nur Akut").There is a positive relationship between adherence to clinical guidelines an...

Review of Therapeutic Electrical Stimulation for Dorsiflexion Assist and Orthotic Substitution From the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Stroke Movement Interventions Subcommittee
This article provides clinicians with information to guide them in the use of electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices, discusses current research about the use of electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices for therapeutic and orthotic purposes, and compares the use of electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices and AFOs. There is insufficient evidence thus far to conclude that walking with an electrical stimulation orthotic substitute device is superior to walking with an AFO, but electrical stimulation orthotic substitute devices may be the optimal choice for some patients.
