Available apps for stroke telerehabilitation during corona virus disease 2019 confinement in Spain.
CONCLUSIONS: There are few specific Apps for the Stroke rehabilitation of sensory-motor impairments, and with important limitations that prevent their incorporation into clinical practice. The creation and adaptation of Apps for health professionals such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists and their users are recommended. Implications for rehabilitation It is necessary to create and adapt specific telerehabilitation tools to address sensory-motor disorders. Telerehabilitation should be introduced in the clinical practice of physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Telerehabilitation via App can be a solution, ea...

The precarity of patient participation - a qualitative interview study of experiences from the acute stroke and rehabilitation journey
CONCLUSION: Bodily changes, the traditional patient role, and the hospital context collectively exacerbate a reduction of individual autonomy. Thus, an interactive partnership between people who survived a stroke and multidisciplinary professionals may strengthen autonomy and promote participation after a stroke.PMID:36345567 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2140319

Descriptive analysis of post-stroke patients in a neurological physical therapy unit
Discussion and conclusionOur results do not show significant differences between the persons < 65 years and the number of outpatient physiotherapy sessions performed, although the resulting values are close to significance. Our results suggest that the PPP is a young person, with a hemorrhagic and left or bilateral stroke.

Quality of life and burden of informal caregivers of stroke survivors
This study was aimed at determining the level of strain experienced by the caregivers of stroke survivors and the quality of life (QoL) of these caregivers. The QoL and caregiving burden among informal caregivers of stroke survivors seen at the physiotherapy outpatient clinic of two hospitals in south-western Nigeria were documented. Participants completed the Personal Wellbeing index for QoL measurement and Modified Caregivers Strain Index for measurement of Caregivers Burden Score. A total of 130 informal caregivers of stroke survivors participated in this study. The mean age of caregivers was 41.1 ± 14.0 years, while...

Is early rehabilitation a myth? Physical inactivity in the first week after myocardial infarction and stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the first objective data on physical activity levels of acute MI patients. While they were more active than acute stroke patients, the difference was largely attributable to walking ability. Implications for rehabilitation In the first week after myocardial infarction, patients spent about half the day physically inactive (even though 81% were able to walk independently). Similar levels of inactivity were seen in a comparable cohort of acute stroke patients, suggesting that environmental factors play an important role. There appears to be wide scope for increasing levels of physical rehabil...

Transitions in the Embodied Experience After Stroke: A Grounded Theory Study.
CONCLUSION: The bodily experience of stroke is intimately connected with a person's sense of self. A person's social and physical environment, as well as their personal attributes can serve to 'anchor' them more comfortably within their embodied experience of stroke. Theory that acknowledges the integral connection between body and self could enhance physiotherapy practice. This study supports the need for physiotherapists to be adequately informed to integrate the embodied experience in their practice when working with people after stroke.

Weekly variation in health-care quality by day and time of admission: a nationwide, registry-based, prospective cohort study of acute stroke care
Publication date: Available online 10 May 2016 Source:The Lancet Author(s): Benjamin D Bray, Geoffrey C Cloud, Martin A James, Harry Hemingway, Lizz Paley, Kevin Stewart, Pippa J Tyrrell, Charles D A Wolfe, Anthony G Rudd Background Studies in many health systems have shown evidence of poorer quality health care for patients admitted on weekends or overnight than for those admitted during the week (the so-called weekend effect). We postulated that variation in quality was dependent on not only day, but also time, of admission, and aimed to describe the pattern and magnitude of variation in the quality of acute s...

The role of biopsychosocial factors in the rehabilitation process of individuals with a stroke.
CONCLUSIONS:Comprehensive neurological rehabilitation, taking into account mental challenges and socio-economic circumstances of individuals with a stroke is essential in order to achieve high efficacy of physiotherapy. Important external factors may play a pivotal role in returning to work as well and should be taken into account during rehabilitation. Of interest should be to assess more biopsychological factors, such as acceptance of illness and a sense of self-efficacy referred to as barriers to return to work.

A physical activity program is no more effective than standard care at maintaining upper limb activity in community-dwelling people with stroke: secondary outcomes from a randomized trial.
CONCLUSION: After intervention, there was no difference between the groups in terms of upper-limb activity.

Intra- and inter-rater reliability of Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity in stroke.
CONCLUSION: The FMA-UE is reliable both within and between raters in patients with stroke in the early subacute phase. A wider international use of FMA-UE will allow comparison of stroke recovery between regions and countries and thereby potentially improve the quality of care and rehabilitation in persons with stroke worldwide.

277 Frailty and Early Supported Discharge (ESD) Post-Stroke: Are Frail Patients Referred to ESD and is Frailty Associated with Rehabilitation Outcomes?
ConclusionFrail patients are not routinely referred for ESD post-stroke. Patients who are pre-frail or frail make similar improvements with ESD compared to non-frail patient in functional independence but not quality of life. Comparable levels of physiotherapy and occupational therapy are provided but frail patients require less SLT. Further research is needed to ascertain if frail patients are appropriate for ESD.
