Immediate changes in post-stroke gait using a shoe lift on the nonaffected lower limb: A preliminary study.
CONCLUSION: The results showed that the immediate use of 1.5 cm shoe lifts seems to improve gait speed and functional mobility in chronic stroke patients. Further studies should focus on understanding the kinematics strategies and gait pattern alterations caused by shoe lifts under the NLL of post-stroke individuals.

Repetitions, duration and intensity of upper limb practice following the implementation of robot assisted therapy with sub-acute stroke survivors: an observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to have observed an increase in UL practice with the inclusion of RT-UL as part of routine clinical practice. This increase in practice is considered to be due to RT-UL providing highly supportive and expeditious semi-supervised practice. Notably, RT-UL was able to be implemented within the existing organisational structures with only basic training of therapy staff. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Robotics presents as a viable intervention to increase the amount and intensity of upper limb practice performed by stroke survivors in routine clinical practice Robotics were able to be impl...

Strength training to improve walking after stroke: how physiotherapist, patient and workplace factors influence exercise prescription.
Conclusions: Implementation of strength training to improve walking after stroke was diverse. Therapist-related barriers to the implementation of effective strength training programs highlight the need for improved knowledge, training and research engagement. Limited resourcing demonstrates the need for organizational prioritization of stroke education and skill development. Narrowing the evidence-practice gap remains a challenge.

Quantification of the Masseter Muscle Hardness of Stroke Patients Using the MyotonPRO Apparatus: Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability and Its Correlation with Masticatory Performance.
CONCLUSIONS The MyotonPRO device can be used for measuring the masseter muscle hardness of stroke patients, with excellent reliability. This study established the construct validity between the stiffness of the masseter muscle and masticatory performance. PMID: 33515446 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 2032: Effects of a Music-Based Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait and Balance in Subacute Stroke
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a music-based rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) in combination with conventional physiotherapy on gait parameters and walking ability in subacute stroke. This single-blind, historical controlled trial, included 55 patients who had suffered a stroke within the three weeks prior to enrolment. Patients from 2018 (n = 27) were assigned as the historical control group whereas 2019 patients (n = 28) received music-based RAS three times a week. Both groups received 11 h of conventional physiotherapy per week during hospitalization. Primary outcomes were gait and balance parameters (Tin...

Quality of life of stroke survivors: A cross-sectional study of association with functional independence, self-reported fatigue and exercise self-efficacy
DISCUSSION: Functional independence and exercise self-efficacy were directly associated with QoL and were also major predictors of good QoL in stroke survivors.PMID:34120490 | DOI:10.1177/17423953211023960

Current Clinical Practices of Saudi Physiotherapists in Stroke Rehabilitation
This article uses an existing American survey to compare Saudi physiotherapists' current practice and preferred interventions in stroke rehabilitation with their counterparts in other countries. Method: An electronic survey was sent between September and October 2020 to physiotherapists (n = 287) treating persons with stroke in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of items related to stroke rehabilitation, including treatment approach, the goal of interventions, management of tone, facilitation of movement, function, and improved motor control. Chi-square tests (χ2) were used to test any associations between p...

Impairments, and physical design and culture of a rehabilitation unit influence stroke survivor activity: qualitative analysis of rehabilitation staff perceptions
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest careful consideration of the involvement of visitors, an individual's needs and preferences, and the institution's priorities and staff attitude may result in greater stroke survivor activity during rehabilitation.Implications for rehabilitationStaff should consider stroke survivor impairments and a rehabilitation unit's institutional priorities and staff attitudes when aiming to enhance stroke survivor engagement in activity.The physical and social environment of a rehabilitation unit can be optimised by rehabilitation staff to promote activity.Utilisation of visitors of stroke survivors o...
