Patient, carer and health worker perspectives of stroke care in New Zealand: a mixed methods survey
CONCLUSIONS: Perceptions of stroke care differed between consumers and health workers, highlighting the importance of involving both in service co-design. Improving communication, post-hospital follow-up, and geographic equity are key areas for improvement.Implications for rehabilitationProvision of detailed information on stroke recovery and available services in the community is recommended.Improvements in the delivery of post-hospital stroke care are required to optimise stroke care, with options including routine phone follow up appointments and wider development of early supported discharge services.Stroke rehabilitat...

Stroke survivors' views on their priorities for upper-limb recovery and the availability of therapy services after stroke: a longitudinal, phenomenological study
CONCLUSION: Therapy services should recognize stroke survivors' changing priorities and work with them as active partners in upper-limb recovery. Intermittent access to review and advice should be included in service design.Implications for rehabilitationStroke survivors' priorities may change over time from recovery of walking toward upper-limb recovery.Post-stroke services can be perceived as insufficient to meet the needs of stroke survivors who want to participate actively in rehabilitation of their upper limb.Stroke survivors may prefer services that are more flexible to provide regular review of their progress, acces...

Exploring challenges affecting resilience in carers of stroke survivors: a qualitative descriptive study
CONCLUSION: These findings provide direction for a suitable intervention. Further, they suggest that stroke rehabilitation could be improved by adopting a family-centered model of care so that carers can be included as active partners in care process. Protecting carers from the negative impact of caring role on their resilience may sustain their ability to provide long-term care for the stroke survivor.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe provision of informal care to stroke survivors can be associated with significant emotional consequences, withdrawal from social activities, and poor quality of life for the carers.The abru...

Visual Problems are Associated with Long-Term Fatigue after Stroke
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors with prominent self-reported visual problems were more likely to experience fatigue. This finding should be verified in further studies. Visual examination and visual rehabilitation may reduce fatigue in selected stroke survivors.PMID:36714984 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v55.4813

Patient- and proxy-perceptions on functioning after stroke rehabilitation using the 12-item WHODAS 2.0: a longitudinal cohort study
CONCLUSION: WHODAS showed improvements in SSs' functioning 9-50 months after discharge from subacute stroke rehabilitation. Improvements were in line with proxy-perception and self-reported functional recovery.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONStroke survivors' functioning improved significantly during the 9-50 months follow-up after subacute inpatient stroke rehabilitation.Stroke survivors perceived slightly less difficulties in their functioning compared to evaluations by proxies.Strong correlation between patient- and proxy-perceptions on stroke survivors' functioning strengthened from subacute to chronic phase of stroke r...

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
