Robot-assisted mechanical therapy attenuates stroke-induced limb skeletal muscle injury Research
The efficacy and optimization of poststroke physical therapy paradigms is challenged in part by a lack of objective tools available to researchers for systematic preclinical testing. This work represents a maiden effort to develop a robot-assisted mechanical therapy (RAMT) device to objectively address the significance of mechanical physiotherapy on poststroke outcomes. Wistar rats were subjected to right hemisphere middle-cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. After 24 h, rats were split into control (RAMT–) or RAMT+ groups (30 min daily RAMT over the stroke-affected gastrocnemius) and were followed up to postst...

Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: People who receive electromechanical-assisted gait training in combination with physiotherapy after stroke are more likely to achieve independent walking than people who receive gait training without these devices. We concluded that seven patients need to be treated to prevent one dependency in walking. Specifically, people in the first three months after stroke and those who are not able to walk seem to benefit most from this type of intervention. The role of the type of device is still not clear. Further research should consist of large definitive pragmatic phase III trials undertaken to address specific que...

Utilization of physiotherapy in the continuum of stroke care at a tertiary hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria
Conclusion: The referral rate of stroke patients for physiotherapy was relatively high. Utilisation of in-patient physiotherapy reduced length of hospital stay among patients with stroke. Utilisation of out-patient physiotherapy was low. Strategies to enhance out-patient utilisation should be explored.Keywords: Stroke, utilisation, physiotherapy

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation for activities of daily living and functional ability in people after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Available trials provided inadequate evidence to permit any conclusions about routine use of rPMS for people after stroke. Additional trials with large sample sizes are needed to determine an appropriate rPMS protocol as well as long-term effects. We identified three ongoing trials and will include these trials in the next review update.

A retrospective study to assess resource utilization and costs in patients with post-stroke spasticity in the United Kingdom.
CONCLUSION: Costs after stroke for patients developing PSS are twice as high compared to patients who do not develop it, with the major driver being the number of hospital admissions. This highlights the need for better recording and closer management of PSS.

Level of physical activity in men and women with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that strategies to increase PA levels 1-3-year post-stroke could be improved by considering gender-specific factors.

Stroke rehabilitation service quality improvement plan - a tale of two towns
Purpose: Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust (OHFT) committed to a Stroke Quality Improvement (QI) Project to enhance the quality of rehabilitation for patients on the Oxfordshire Stroke Pathway. Following poor performance in the national indicators Sentinel Stroke National Audit Program (SSNAP) and local Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), the Stroke Quality meeting was initiated by the physiotherapy team to review care and develop a multi-professional improvement plan. Aligning service provision with that recommended in the 2016 Royal College of Physicians National Stroke Guidelines required consolidation of two stroke uni...

Reliability and Validity of the Four-Point Pusher Score: An Assessment Tool for Measuring Lateropulsion and Pusher Behaviour in Adults after Stroke.
Conclusion: The 4PPS is a reliable and valid scale to assess lateropulsion and pusher behaviour in stroke survivors in an in-patient rehabilitation setting.

Concurrent impact of bilateral multiple joint functional electrical stimulation and treadmill walking on gait and spasticity in post-stroke survivors: a pilot study.
Conclusions: A short duration of bilateral FES in conjugation with treadmill walking contributed to significant improvement in gait speed, functional mobility, functional ambulation, range of motion and step length in post-stroke survivors. In contrast, no significant decreases were identified in the spasticity of the ankle plantar flexors and knee extensors muscles.

Assessment of the effects of dysphagia therapy in patients in the early post-stroke period: a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive therapy for dysphagia is effective and can reduce serious complications of swallowing disorders in clinical practice.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study could improve the clinical treatment of dysphagia.

Outcome measures and motion capture systems for assessing lower limb orthosis-based interventions after stroke: a systematic review.
Conclusions: Studies showed heterogeneity in selecting outcomes and timings for assessment. There is evidence for assessing the evidence of orthosis-based gait rehabilitation after stroke through activity outcome measures, primarily the gait speed, recorded by non-wearable motion capture systems. A unified methodology considering wearable sensors for tracking baseline and follow-up measures is needed.Implications for rehabilitationThere is evidence on use activity outcome measures to assess the meaningful evidence-based practice of orthosis-based gait rehabilitation in post-stroke.Gait speed was the primary outcome measure...

Self-perceived functioning and disability after randomized conventional and electromechanically-assisted gait training in subacute stroke: a 6 months follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that EAGT and conventional gait training in the subacute stage after stroke have no differential impact on self-perceived functioning, disability and recovery at 6 months after stroke. Further, the study highlights the importance of interventions targeting ADL and self-care independence during stroke rehabilitation to enhance self-perceived recovery and clinical aspects to be targeted to enhance perceived mobility.
