Burden of Stroke in Myanmar
Myanmar is home to over 51 million people. The age- and sex-standardized mortality rate due to stroke is 165.4/100,000, while the rate of age- and sex-standardized disability-adjusted life years lost due to stroke is 2971.3/100,000. The prevalence of stroke among adults aged 40 –99 years is 1.5%. Stroke is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality and comprises 20% of the neurological workload. There are only 10 stroke units in the whole country. Doctors are aware of the importance of hypertension in stroke prevention and the need for physiotherapy after stroke, but, until recently and in rural areas, they also tend t...

Estimation of balance status in patients with hemiparesis: an artificial neural network implementation
Discussion:The results obtained from this study showed that RMSE values of ANNs were better than the ones found in literature. It is believed that this study can lead to constitute a shorter, more sensitive and more practical mini subset of BESTest for physiotherapists to differentiate balance problems while carrying the whole philosophy of the full BESTest.PMID:33939601 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.1913936

Decision-Making on Referral to Primary Care Physiotherapy After Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
Worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability.1 Although incidence rates are expected to increase over the next few decades, survival rates are expected to improve. Consequently, more stroke survivors will have to learn to live with the consequences. After acute stroke care or rehabilitation, returning home is one of the primary goals for stroke survivors.2 In the Netherlands, 65 % of stroke survivors return home immediately after acute hospital care.3 The remaining 35% continue inpatient rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center (RC) or geriatric rehabilitation center (GRC) before returning home.

A Case of Alpha-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone (Flakka)-Induced Ischemic Stroke
We present a case report of an acute ischemic stroke following the recreational use of α-PVP. The ischemic lesions were located in the midd le cerebral artery and deep watershed areas of the left cerebral hemisphere. Occupational therapy and physiotherapy were initiated, and the patient was discharged with only a mild right hemiparesis.Case Rep Neurol 2021;13:131 –134

Early Mobilization After Stroke: Do Clinical Practice Guidelines Support Clinicians' Decision-Making?
Conclusions: The lack of specificity, clinical applicability, and adaptability of current CPGs to effectively respond to the heterogeneous clinical stroke context has provided a clear direction for improvement.

Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Respiratory Muscle Strength, Trunk Control, Balance and Functional Capacity in Stroke Patients: A single-blinded randomized controlled study.
Conclusions: As a conclusion, the IMT, which was given in addition to the neurological physiotherapy and rehabilitation program to our patients, improved inspiratory muscle strength and trunk control. We believe that this result will raise awareness for physiotherapists working in the field of neurological rehabilitation about including respiratory muscle training in the rehabilitation program of stroke patients.

Case Report: Postacute Rehabilitation of Guillain-Barr é Syndrome and Cerebral Vasculitis-Like Pattern Accompanied by SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Conclusion: In this report, we present the case of a patient with peripheral and central neurological damage occurred later severe pneumonia induced by SARS-CoV-2. The Immunoglobulin G therapy allowed the patient to benefit considerably from early rehabilitation, reaching the walking, increasing the independence in daily living tasks, and enabling safe discharge from hospital to home. Related neurologic complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection suffer a lack of understanding and further investigations should be conducted.

Predictive factors of functional independence in basic activities of daily living during hospitalization and after discharge of stroke patients.
Conclusions: According to the results, the risk of impaired functional independence decreased in bathing and eating and increased for dressing, grooming and transfer during clinical recovery suggesting the need for greater therapeutic intervention in different basic activities of daily living.

Early post-stroke rehabilitation for upper limb motor function using virtual reality and exoskeleton: equally efficient in older patients.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Early post-stroke rehabilitation strategies using, in addition to the daily rehabilitation programme, VRT with visual biofeedback is more effective on upper extremity motor performance than conventional physiotherapy, and the effectiveness does not diminish with patient age. This may be a promising addition to conventional physiotherapy in older stroke patients as well as in younger.
