How active are stroke patients in physiotherapy sessions and is this associated with stroke severity?
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with greater stroke severity participate in less active exercise in physiotherapy sessions than those with lesser stroke severity. Reasons for this disparity warrant further investigation.Implications for rehabilitationStroke patients with higher levels of severity engage in less active exercise during rehabilitation.A discrepancy exists between patients' planned physiotherapy session lengths and actual session lengths during stroke rehabilitation.Physiotherapists should be mindful in how to adapt their sessions (particularly with severe stroke patients) to maximise the amount of activity they underta...

Perseverance with home-based upper limb practice after stroke: perspectives of stroke survivors and their significant others
CONCLUSION: Persevering with practice is multifaceted for stroke survivors. All facets need to be addressed in the design of strategies to enhance stroke survivors' ability to persevere and in turn, enhance their potential for continued upper limb recovery.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMany stroke survivors do not persevere with long-term home-based upper limb practice despite the belief that high dose practice will promote continued recovery.Therapists need to support stroke survivors to setup individualised goal-based home programs that they can complete independently, or with support, within their everyday life.Stroke ...

Baltes' SOC model of successful ageing as a potential framework for stroke rehabilitation.
Conclusions and recommendations: The Baltes' SOC model may offer further insights, including ageing considerations, for stroke rehabilitation approaches and interventions. It has potential to facilitate some of the necessary complexities of adjustment required in stroke rehabilitation. However, further development in terms of empirical support is required for using the model as a framework to structure stroke rehabilitation intervention. Implications for Rehabilitation There is a scarcity of theoretical frameworks that can facilitate and be inclusive for all the necessary complexities of adjustment, required in stroke reha...

Questionnaire assessment of usual practice in mood and cognitive assessment in Scottish stroke units.
Conclusion: Response rate was modest but included all mainland Scottish regions with active stroke services. Although the majority of responders are assessing cognition and mood there is substantial heterogeneity in measures used and certain commonly used tools are not validated or appropriate for use in stroke. We suggest development of evidence based, standardised assessment protocols. Implications for Rehabilitation Screening stroke survivor's for cognitive and mood issues is recommended but there is little guidance on the preferred assessment strategy Across Scottish stroke services there is a lack of consensus in asse...

The Figure-of-Eight Walk test: reliability and associations with stroke-specific impairments.
Conclusions: The F8W test time is a reliable measurement tool, which is able to differentiate the patients with stroke and healthy elderly subjects and correlated well with stroke-specific impairments and walking tests. The F8W is a reliable measurement tool for assessing the advanced walking performance of subjects with chronic stroke. Implication for Rehabilitation The F8W test times have excellent intra-rater, inter-rater and test-retest reliabilities in patients with chronic stroke. The F8W test times were also found to be significantly associated with FMA-LE, BBS, FTSTST, TUG scores and 10MWT. A F8W test time of 8.2â€...

A comprehensive exercise program for a young adult male with Down syndrome who experienced a stroke.
Conclusion: Improved cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, balance and mobility provide preliminary evidence of the trainability of individuals with both DS and stroke. Future studies are warranted to investigate the role of exercise in risk factor reduction for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in people with DS. Implications for Rehabilitation Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) may be at heightened risk of stroke due to a combination of physiological conditions and lifestyle choices which contribute to reduced exercise capacity, accelerated aging patterns, moyamoya syndrome and physical inactivity as well as hig...

From physical and functional to continuity with pre-stroke self and participation in valued activities: A qualitative exploration of stroke survivors', carers' and physiotherapists' perceptions of physical activity after stroke.
Conclusions: Individualised interventions that account for social and environmental influences on behaviour appear vital to enabling survivors to participate in meaningful physical activities. Such interventions should facilitate development of shared perspectives among physiotherapists, carers and survivors of PA and related outcomes and provide tailored strategies to facilitate PA participation. Implications for Rehabilitation Physical activity after stroke rehabilitation is important for fitness, health, functioning and well-being. Reasons for survivors participating or not in physical activity after stroke are complex ...

Predicting sickness impact profile at six months after stroke: further results from the European multi-center CERISE study.
Conclusions: A combination of variables was found in the prognostic models of the three dimensions of the SIP at six months after stroke. Already from the early beginning of stroke rehabilitation it seems important to focus on personal activities of daily living as well as caregivers' strain. Implications for Rehabilitation Prognostic factors predicting participation, measured by the three dimensions of the Sickness Impact Profile at six months post stroke include demographic variables, post-stroke complications, diagnostic parameters and disability measures. Significant prognostic variables for all three dimensions of the...

Tablet technology during stroke recovery: a survivor's perspective.
Conclusions: Incorporating tablet technology into the delivery of stroke rehabilitation appears to be feasible and acceptable at a patient level. This process has the potential to improve participation in therapeutic and or leisure; however further evaluation towards the impact of tablet technology on patient outcome and quality of life is required. Implications for Rehabilitation The use of tablet technology provides a platform to increase the variety and intensity of stroke therapy, both in the hospital setting and following discharge from hospital, facilitating physical, cognitive and social activity. Stroke survivors e...

Tracking patterns of needs during a telephone follow-up programme for family caregivers of persons with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Tracking patterns of needs and skill-building suggest appropriate timing for targeting different types of family caregiver support during stroke rehabilitation. Implications for Rehabilitation Family caregivers of stroke survivors play an essential role in the rehabilitation process of the stroke survivor. Identifying and addressing the priority needs and concerns of stroke caregivers during the early discharge period enables caregivers to provide sustained support for the stroke survivor. Rehabilitation professionals are in a key position to address evolving caregiver needs and concerns as they transition to ...

Prevalence and association of visual functional deficits with lesion characteristics and functional neurological deficits in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Detailed assessment of visual function in patients with stroke can help to clarify the risk of various types of visual impairment. Moreover, as visual function assessment in patients with stroke is difficult, knowledge of the correlation of visual impairments with different neurological dysfunctions observed in stroke and lesion side will help predict vision problems and inform optimal corrective measures in treating patients with stroke.
