Therapists' perspectives on adapting the Stepping On falls prevention programme for community-dwelling stroke survivors in Singapore.
CONCLUSIONS: Rehabilitation therapists describe challenges in addressing fall prevention within a stroke context, and findings highlight the need for a structured, stroke-specific fall prevention programme rather than a more general approach to education and training. Contextual components identified provide valuable inputs towards the development of a culturally relevant fall prevention programme for stroke survivors in Singapore. Implications for Rehabilitation Stroke survivors living in the community are at a high risk of falls. A structured and culturally relevant fall prevention programme for community-living stroke s...

"Living in a foreign country": experiences of staff-patient communication in inpatient stroke settings for people with post-stroke aphasia and those supporting them.
CONCLUSIONS: Communication was viewed as important but challenging by all three groups. To maximise staff-patient interactions in the future, attention needs to be paid to: the psychosocial needs of stroke survivors and their carers, ongoing staff training and support for the healthcare professionals supporting them, and the provision of an aphasia-friendly and a communicatively stimulating ward environment. Implications for Rehabilitation Effective staff-patient communication is viewed as fundamental to stroke rehabilitation but challenging by patients with aphasia, their carers and the healthcare professionals supporting...

Stroke survivors' experiences of occupation in hospital-based stroke rehabilitation: a qualitative exploration.
CONCLUSION: This study provides a preliminary understanding of how stroke survivors experience occupational engagement during rehabilitation. There was an apparent shift in priorities with therapy considered the most important occupation and a strong need expressed for rest and relaxation to be factored into people's days. It appears the increasing activity levels may not always align with people's occupations and that due consideration of this malalignment may further enhance engagement and outcomes. Implications for rehabilitation During hospital-based stroke rehabilitation, stroke survivors prioritized the occupations o...

"I'm just not a Sudoku person": analysis of stroke survivor, carer, and healthcare professional perspectives for the design of a cognitive rehabilitation intervention.
CONCLUSIONS: Qualitative work with stroke survivors, carers and healthcare professionals provided vital information for the intervention design. Issues identified by participants as being key to intervention development included: (i) implications of post-stroke cognitive impairment survivors' confidence; (ii) their individual capacity in terms of fatigue and metacognition; and (iii) practical issues such as intervention location. The inclusion of psychoeducation regarding consequences of stroke was recommended. Implications for rehabilitation Stroke survivors, carers, and rehabilitation professionals who provide stroke car...

Trajectories of memory, language, and visuoperceptual problems in people with stroke during the first year and controls in Colombia.
Conclusion: These findings suggest profound disparities in post-stroke cognitive functioning in Colombia compared to other more developed global region and underscore the importance of comprehensive cognitive rehabilitation services for individuals with stroke in Colombia and other similar global regions. Implications for rehabilitation Because this study found only negligible cognitive improvements beyond practice effects over the first year after stroke in Colombia among individuals without access to acute rehabilitation, it is imperative that comprehensive cognitive rehabilitation services be implemented immediately dur...

Systematic review of subjective memory measures to inform assessing memory limitations after stroke and stroke-related aphasia.
Conclusions: This literature domain currently provides an unclear picture as to how memory limitations affect participation in stroke and stroke-related aphasia. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION A broad range of subjective memory measures have been used to determine stroke survivors' perceptions of their everyday memory issues. Because of psychometric weaknesses such as inadequate reliability and cross-cultural validity among subjective memory measures, there remains a need to carefully review a given measure's properties to determine if it is appropriate for use with a given stroke survivor. Stroke survivors with aphasia h...

Relationship between pre-stroke physical activity and symptoms of post-stroke anxiety and depression: An observational study.
CONCLUSION: In this group of patients with mild symptoms of emotional distress, it seems that pre-stroke physical activity might be protective against post-stroke depression, but not anxiety. Many patients with mild-to-moderate stroke report being equally active before and after the stroke.

Clinical and functional differences between right and left stroke with and without contralateral spatial neglect.
CONCLUSION: In left and right stroke rehabilitants with equally mild neglect, those with left stroke had higher stroke severity, cognitive and total disability and dependence level. Neglect severity correlated with right or left stroke severity and functional ability, moderate to severe neglect correlated significantly more with functioning. Neglect severity was independently associated with functional outcome in right stroke.

Technology for maintaining oral care after stroke: considerations for patient-centered practice.
CONCLUSION: The available device and technologies may help substantially with the accommodations needed for post-stroke oral care, improving the oral health of stroke survivors. Good oral health confers benefit to overall health and well-being and could enhance recovery and rehabilitation outcomes. Nonetheless, more research is necessary to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of technology in stroke contexts. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Oral care may be challenging after stroke due to patient fatigue, hemiparesis, cognitive impairments, and other impaired body functions. Poor oral hygiene may impact stroke re...

Community reintegration post-stroke in New Zealand: understanding the experiences of stroke survivors in the lower South Island.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors in New Zealand hold many similar perceptions about optimal community reintegration with those living elsewhere. Key to successful community reintegration, irrespective of geography, culture and ethnicity, appears to be involvement in meaningful activities, and reduced reliance on others whilst maintaining or developing good social relationships. These fundamental components are then contextually nuanced by what is meaningful and important to the individual. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Optimal community reintegration post-stroke is arguably the key goal of rehabilitation, and thus should be...

The relevance of stroke care for living well with post-stroke aphasia: a qualitative interview study with working-aged adults.
CONCLUSIONS: The results highlight a need for equitable, transparent, responsive access to services, information and stroke liaison support. The findings extend knowledge of the importance of stroke care for supporting working-aged adults and their families to live well in the context of aphasia. Implications for rehabilitation There is a need for equitable, transparent access to a responsive integrated pathway of stroke care to support living well with aphasia. People with aphasia post-stroke and their families need access to person-centred stroke care and information responsive to their changing needs at all stages of re...

Detection of symptoms of late complications after stroke in young survivors with active surveillance versus usual care.
CONCLUSIONS: Active surveillance leads to higher rates of early symptom detection of non-motor LCAS in young stroke survivors. Implications for rehabilitation Young stroke survivors frequently have late complications after stroke (LCAS) that impair return to pre-stroke responsibilities. Active surveillance for LCAS symptoms with a semi-structured interview increases detection of non-motor late complications. A bundled approach to screening for LCAS symptoms is pragmatic as a majority of young stroke survivors have at least one symptom but no single symptom is present in all stroke survivors.
