Transcranial direct current stimulation for the treatment of post-stroke depression: A systematic review
ConclusionThis article simply aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the raw data reported in this field to date. Based on the current evidence, tDCS presents promising results for the treatment of PSD. Moreover, tDCS is also effective in PSD patients with aphasia or CPSP. However, an optimal stimulation protocol is needed to formulate. Thus, the development of robustly controlled, randomized, and high-quality clinical trials to further assess the utility of tDCS as a therapeutic tool for the treatment of PSD survivors is encouraged.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php...

Translation of the Fugl-Meyer assessment into Romanian: Transcultural and semantic-linguistic adaptations and clinical validation
ConclusionsThe final Romanian version of FMA's official evaluation protocols showed good preliminary reliability and validity, which could be thus recommended for use and expected to help improve the standardization of this assessment scale for patients after a stroke in Romania. Furthermore, this endeavor could be added to similar international translation and cross-cultural adaptations, thereby facilitating a more appropriate comparison of the evaluation and outcomes in the management of stroke worldwide.

Association between volume of patients undergoing stroke rehabilitation at acute care hospitals and improvement in activities of daily living
Stroke is one of the most common causes of functional disability, and rehabilitation plays a vital role in treating acute stroke.1,2 In recent years, it has been reported that early rehabilitation and the amount of rehabilitation intervention, including treatment at a stroke care unit (SCU), contribute to the improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) in acute stroke rehabilitation.3,4 Stroke rehabilitation requires multi-disciplinary intervention, including physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy, and it is believed that the quality of rehabilitation depends on the level of rehabilitation expertise of healthca...

Use of peripheral electrical stimulation on healthy individual and patients after stroke and its effects on the somatosensory evoked potentials. A systematic review
IntroductionTo date, a few studies have used somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) to demonstrate cortical sensory changes among healthy subjects or to estimate cortical plasticity and rehabilitation prognosis in stroke patients after peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) intervention. The primary aim was to systematically review whether PES has a role in changing latencies and amplitudes of SEPs in healthy subjects and stroke patients. Moreover, we searched for a correlation between sensory and motor function assessments and changes in SEP components of included studies.MethodsThe following databases were searched: Pubm...

The Effects of Trunk and Extremity Functions on Activities of Daily Living, Balance, and Gait in Stroke
DISCUSSION: The results of this study showed that trunk functions are more related to ADL and balance than extremity functions. Therefore, trunk training should be included as a basic application in physiotherapy programs for stroke patients.PMID:36319611 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2022.2142424

COMIRESTROKE —A clinical study protocol for monitoring clinical effect and molecular biological readouts of COMprehensive Intensive REhabilitation program after STROKE: A four-arm parallel-group randomized double blinded controlled trial with a longitudinal design
In this study, four kinds of comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation with different management and content of physical therapy will be compared. Moreover, focus will be placed on the identification of novel biological molecules reflective of effective rehabilitation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts (>200 bps) of limited coding potential, which have recently been recognized as key factors in neuronal signaling pathways in ischemic stroke and as such, may provide a valuable readout of patient recovery and neuroprotection during therapeutic progression.Methods and analysisAdults after the first ischemic strok...

Physical therapy interventions for the correction of equinus foot deformity in post-stroke patients with triceps spasticity: A scoping review
ConclusionsThis scoping review summarized available primary literature based on PT treatments for the correction of EFD. By highlighting the remaining gaps in knowledge, it provides a reference for future studies on this pathology. Further investigations are necessary to pinpoint the best dosage and delivery methods. Future studies should investigate whether early rehabilitation programs started during the acute phase might help prevent or limit the development of secondary deformities.

Development of a convolutional neural network (CNN) based assessment exercise recommendation system for individuals with chronic stroke: a feasibility study
CONCLUSIONS: This CNN deep-learning model provided time-effective and accurate prediction of clinical assessment results and exercise recommendations. This study provides preliminary evidence to support the use of biomechanical data and AI to assist treatment planning and shorten the decision-making process in rehabilitation.PMID:36189968 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2022.2127669

Noninvasive neuromodulation for unilateral neglect after stroke: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
ConclusionExisting evidence showed that NINM could improve UN after stroke and that TBS was best. Due to the number of included studies and sample size, more large-sample, multicenter, double-blinded, high-quality clinical RCTs are still needed in the future to further confirm the results of this research.

Prioritization of neurologic rehabilitation interventions by ELECTRE-III analysis in subacute stroke patients
ConclusionsThe results showed that rehabilitation interventions such as Bobath-NDT and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, which are frequently used in developing countries, are still useful, and CCT is the most appropriate intervention for the transition from conventional methods to innovative models in these countries.
