Functional recovery after stroke in Benin: A six-month follow-up study.
CONCLUSION: The study sample showed significant functional recovery (~50%) during the first 6 months post-stroke. We recommend the integration of group-based brisk walking into a cost-effective rehabilitation programme as a suitable way to increase functional recovery of chronic stroke patients in sub-Saharan Africa after hospital discharge.

An interdisciplinary visual team in an acute and sub-acute stroke unit: Providing assessment and early rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: In this consecutive sample, a quarter of all stroke patients had visual or visuo-attentional deficits initially. This emphasizes how professionals should have increased awareness of the existence of such deficits after stroke in order to provide the necessary interdisciplinary assessment and rehabilitation.

Tracking changes in glenohumeral joint position in acute post-stroke hemiparetic patients: an observational study.
CONCLUSION: Minimal changes in glenohumeral joint positioning occurs early post-stroke. Clinicians should consider changes in glenohumeral joint position for both non- and hemiparetic sides during the early rehabilitation phase following stroke. Implications for rehabilitation Changes occur in glenohumeral joint centre of rotation (GHJC) position between hemiparetic and non-hemiparetic sides early in people with mild stroke. Clinicians need to be aware of early GHJC positional changes. Early GHJC positional changes may contribute to the development of hemiparetic shoulder pain (HSP), anterior humeral subluxation and glenoh...

Patellar tendon vibration reduces the increased facilitation from quadriceps to soleus in post-stroke hemiparetic individuals
Conclusions Patellar tendon vibration can reduce the facilitation between knee and ankle extensors, which suggests effective presynaptic inhibition but decreased post-activation depression in the lower limb of people after chronic hemiparetic stroke. Further studies are warranted to determine whether such vibration could be used to reduce the abnormal extension synergy of knee and ankle extensors in people after hemiparetic stroke.

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 can predict the institutionalization of the patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: WHODAS 2.0 scores, urbanization level, and severity of impairment were positive factors for the institutionalization of patients with stroke in long-term care facilities, whereas the female sex and an age of ≥85 years were negative factors. The cognition and mobility domains and standardized WHODAS 2.0 scores were more accurate for predicting the institutionalization of patients with stroke.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Proper analysis of the functioning status and risk factors, as well as prediction of discharge destination for the patients with stroke can help the healthcare system reduce unnecessa...

Assessing advanced walking ability in people with stroke using the Groningen Meander Walking Test.
CONCLUSION: The Groningen Meander Walking Test is a highly reliable and valid tool for quantifying the advanced walking abilities of people with stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation The Groningen Meander Walking Test completion times demonstrated excellent intrarater, interrater and test-retest reliabilities. The Groningen Meander Walking Test completion times correlates well with Berg Balance Scale scores, comfortable walking and Timed Up and Go test times. The Groningen Meander Walking Test overstep scores correlates significantly to its completion times, Fugl-Myer Assessment-Lower Extremity scores, comfortable walkin...

Adherence of physical therapy with clinical practice guidelines for the rehabilitation of stroke in an active inpatient setting.
CONCLUSION: This audit provides an initial picture of the current adherence of physical therapy assessment and management with the stroke physical therapy guideline at a tertiary rehabilitation hospital in the state of Qatar. An evaluation of the guideline adherence and practice variations helps to fine tune the physical therapy care to a highest possible standard of practice. Implications for Rehabilitation • An evaluation of the guideline adherence and practice variations helps to fine tune the rehabilitation care to the highest possible standard of practice. • Proper assessments of the relationshi...

Assessing the impact of a home-based stroke rehabilitation programme: a cost-effectiveness study.
CONCLUSIONS: The study shows that CSRT model of care is cost-effective, and should be considered when evaluating potential stroke rehabilitation delivery methods. Implications for Rehabilitation Ongoing rehabilitation following stroke is imperative for optimal recovery. Home-based specialised stroke rehabilitation may be an option for individuals for whom ongoing rehabilitation is unavailable or inaccessible. The results of this study demonstrated that home-based rehabilitation is a cost-effective means of providing ongoing rehabilitation to individuals who have experienced a stroke.

Impact of balance on functional independence after stroke: A cross-sectional study at rehabilitation settings in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: The goal of attaining functional independence after stroke may depend to a significant extent on good balance function irrespective of the stroke survivor's age, sex and post-stroke duration.

Factors predicting community participation in patients living with stroke, in the Western Cape, South Africa.
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest focusing stroke rehabilitation on important factors such as mobility, cognition, life activities and risk factors to advance patients' participation. It also emphasizes giving specific consideration to key factors specific for gender and age of stroke survivors. Implications for Rehabilitation Community participation in the general population of stroke survivors' is largely determined by their mobility function. Determinants of community participation among stroke survivors essentially vary according to age and gender. Clinically, this study suggests that focusing on specific determinants o...

Insights into the nature of female sexuality from the perspective of female stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study underline the importance of addressing sexuality as part of rehabilitation and provide some guidance about what might be important to address. Implications for Rehabilitation Sexuality should be addressed by clinicians as part of person-centred rehabilitation. Understanding "the being" and "the doing" of female sexuality is a pre-requisite for understanding female sexuality post-stroke. Idealised constructions of being female formulated pre-stroke may continue to be points of reference for self-assessment post-stroke, hence need to be understood when seeking to support a positive sen...

Five-year follow-up of a cluster-randomized controlled trial of a client-centred activities of daily living intervention for people with stroke.
CONCLUSION:: The client-centred ADL intervention appears to render similar long-term effects as usual ADL interventions for people with stroke, but for significant others signs of depression might be reduced.

Significant others' perspectives on person-centred information and communication technology in stroke rehabilitation - a grounded theory study.
CONCLUSION: Information and communication technology has the potential to facilitate participation in everyday life after stroke. It is important, therefore, to start using information and communication technology in the rehabilitation process after stroke, to bring meaning to everyday life and to support both the stroke survivors and their significant others. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Integration of information and communication technology in the rehabilitation process after stroke can accommodate several of the significant others´ needs. Educating stroke survivors to use information and communication technology as...
