Impact of social support on participation after stroke in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: The impact of social support was significant only in the economic self-sufficiency domain of participation with higher availability of social support related to better economic self-sufficiency. This finding provides additional information on the importance of social support post-stroke. PMID: 27077990 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Importance of squatting and sitting on the floor: perspectives and priorities of rural Indian patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Because a substantial proportion of patients with stroke identified DKF activities as very important for performing major daily activities, independent performance of squatting and sitting on the floor should be considered as one of the important rehabilitation goals for patients with stroke.

The effects of Bobath-based trunk exercises on trunk control, functional capacity, balance, and gait: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Individually developed exercise programs in the Bobath concept improve trunk performance, balance, and walking ability in stroke patients more than do conventional exercises. PMID: 26260878 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What is the effect of additional physiotherapy on sitting balance following stroke compared to standard physiotherapy treatment: a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: The current evidence supports strategies that target deficits at the activity level and increase total treatment time. The TIS is most responsive as a measure of treatment efficacy. Further research is required using recommended outcome measures to facilitate generation of a minimum data set and data pooling. PMID: 26086177 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Is more physiotherapy better after stroke?
‘More is better’ has been the mantra for physiotherapists working in stroke rehabilitation. Studies examining the neuroplasticity of the brain have shown that repetitive, meaningful practice is essential to drive positive plasticity, and meta‐analyses of clinical trials provide evidence of benefit of increased therapy provision. However, a recent large clinical trial appears to contradict this evidence. The CIRCIT trial investigated two alternative models of physiotherapy service delivery for people after stroke. Despite participants in the circuit class therapy arm of the trial receiving an additional 22 h of physio...

The effect of upper-extremity aerobic exercise on complex regional pain syndrome type I: a randomized controlled study on subacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: UEAE made an excellent improvement in the symptoms and signs of CRPS I. Combined treatment of conventional physiotherapy and aerobic exercises may be an excellent synthesis for this syndrome in these patients. PMID: 25943440 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Motor and sensory effects of ipsilesional upper extremity hypothermia and contralesional sensory training for chronic stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of immersion hypothermia on the ipsilesional UE in association with sensory training of the contralesional UE improved motor function and sensitivity in the contralesional UE of individuals with chronic stroke. Immersion hypothermia of the ipsilesional UE in chronic stroke patients is a safe, practical, inexpensive, and easily applied technique. PMID: 25776120 [PubMed - in process]

Effect of task-oriented training for people with stroke: a meta-analysis focused on repetitive or circuit training.
CONCLUSIONS: Task-oriented training interventions are useful for improving muscle strength and gait related activities in both acute/sub-acute and chronic stroke patients. Although this meta-analysis provides evidence of task-oriented training for improving functioning after stroke, further studies are necessary to investigate the effects of training on upper extremities and the overall cost-effectiveness of such training.
