Hemiplegic shoulder pain affects ipsilesional aiming movements after stroke: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The perception of pain impairs aiming movements performed with the ipsilesional upper limb in individuals with unilateral chronic stroke.PMID:36062585 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2118004

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation for impairment and disability in people after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence to permit the drawing of any conclusions about routine use of rPMS for people after stroke. Additional trials with large sample sizes are needed to provide robust evidence for rPMS after stroke.PMID:36169558 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD011968.pub4

The potential of wearable technology to support stroke survivors' motivation for home exercise - Focus group discussions with stroke survivors and physiotherapists
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors' use of wearable technology to promote home exercise will depend as much on their trust in the professional and relational competence of the physiotherapist as the technical issues of an app. The potential benefits of wearable technology for cooperation between stroke survivors and physiotherapists and as a tool for rehabilitation were highlighted.PMID:37246716 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2217987

Changes in bone density and geometry of the upper extremities after stroke: a case report.
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine changes in bone density and geometry of the forearm region and motor function of the paretic upper extremity in a person with subacute stroke. Client Description: The participant was a 48-year-old man with right hemiparesis. Intervention: Not applicable. Measures and Outcomes: The assessment of upper-extremity (UE) function and bone imaging took place at 3 months and 12 months after stroke. The participant had moderate motor impairment and severe disuse of the paretic UE 3 months after stroke. During the follow-up period, no substantial change in paretic U...

Stroke-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviours of chinese and European canadians: implications for physical therapists.
Conclusions: Theoretical dimensions of culture may explain variations in stroke-related knowledge, behaviours, and beliefs between CCs and ECs. Awareness of cultural differences can help physical therapists evaluate clients and appropriately tailor lifestyle-related health education. PMID: 24799757 [PubMed]

Functional Limitations due to Fatigue Among Independently Ambulant Stroke Survivors in Osun, South‐Western Nigeria
This study assessed the functional limitations due to fatigue in community‐dwelling stroke survivors undergoing physiotherapy. The differences in functional limitations due to fatigue were determined between sexes, stroke types, sides of affectation, age categories and levels of disability. Relationships between functional limitation due to fatigue and these variables were also determined. MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study involving 63 stroke survivors (35 male survivors and 28 female survivors) with ages ranging from 45 to 79 years (mean = 53.68 ± 10.95 years). Functional limitation due to fatigue w...

Does gait analysis change clinical decision-making in post-stroke patients? Results from a pragmatic prospective observational study.
CONCLUSION: GA significantly influences the therapeutic planning and reinforces decision--making for chronic post--stroke patients. Further work should be done to better translate GA results into indications for specific physiotherapy. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: the use of GA as a tool to better define the rehabilitation planning in post--stroke patients should be fostered, particularly when surgery or botulinum toxin are considered and/or the prescription of orthoses is hypothesised.

Exploring the decision-making process in the delivery of physiotherapy in a stroke unit.
Conclusions: The study has generated insight into the reality of decision-making in the planning and delivery of physiotherapy post-stroke. Further research involving other stroke units is required to gain a greater understanding of this aspect of physiotherapy. Implications for Rehabilitation Physiotherapists need to consider multiple patient, therapist and organisational factors when planning and delivering physiotherapy in a stroke unit. Physiotherapists should continually reflect upon how they provide physiotherapy, with respect to the duration, frequency and time of day sessions are delivered, in order to guide curren...

Protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of Fast muscle Activation and Stepping Training (FAST) for improving balance and mobility in sub-acute stroke
DiscussionThe targeted training of fast functional movements in the FAST program is expected to improve walking balance following stroke compared to the active control intervention. Unique to this study is the investigation of potential mechanisms associated with improvements in walking balance.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT01573585
