Robotic Rehabilitation and Multimodal Instrumented Assessment of Post-stroke Elbow Motor Functions —A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
Conclusions: This randomized controlled trial aims to validate an innovative instrumented methodology for clinical spasticity assessment and functional rehabilitation, relying on the precision and accuracy of an elbow exoskeleton combined with EMG recordings and the expertise of a physiotherapist, thus complementing and maximizing the benefits of both practices.Clinical Trial Registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04484571.

Effects of gait exercise assist robot (GEAR) on subjects with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial
Improvement of gait ability is one of the primary goals in stroke rehabilitation.1 As a result, defining more effective interventions for increasing gait ability after stroke is essential. In recent years, robotic rehabilitation has been attracting a great deal of attention as a method for improving gait ability after stroke all over the world. The updated Cochrane review has shown that electromechanical-assisted gait training in combination with physiotherapy improves the acquisition of independent walking compared to gait training without such devices.

Knowledge and application of upper limb prediction models and attitude toward prognosis among physiotherapists and occupational therapists in the clinical stroke setting.
CONCLUSIONS: Results from this study indicate that prediction models for UL function after stroke are not yet a part of daily practice in Danish stroke rehabilitation. At the same time, knowledge of prognosis seems to be relevant for most therapists in their clinical work. PMID: 32583731 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Intensities in the application of robotic technologies in upper extremity rehabilitation after a stroke: a systematic review of randomised controlled clinical trials.
CONCLUSION: Significant correlations are observed between intensity (minutes per week) and mFMA-UE, with a higher level of significance in the intervention group. PMID: 32500522 [PubMed - in process]

Translation into Brazilian Portuguese, cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validation of the Functional Ambulation Classification for the categorization of ambulation following a stroke in a clinical setting.
CONCLUSION: The translation, cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties demonstrated that the FAC is a valid, reliable clinical measure for the categorization of ambulation in the Brazilian population of stroke survivors in a clinical setting. PMID: 32390129 [PubMed - in process]

Stroke aftercare : Treatment reality, challenges and future perspectives.
CONCLUSION: Ischemic stroke should be considered as a complex chronic disease and should be treated accordingly after discharge from acute inpatient treatment. Emphasis should be placed on the optimization of interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral cooperation and support for general practitioners in the outpatient post-stroke care. New concepts of post-stroke care have the potential for improvement of the current healthcare structures. PMID: 32361775 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Perceived social support and social constraints in Hausa women stroke survivors: A cross-sectional study.
Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest that adequate social support potentially limits the level of social constraint encountered by women who suffered stroke. The Hausa culture seems to be impressive in characteristically demonstrating high level of social support as found in this study. It is recommended that physiotherapist should assist by providing educative programs that would increase caregiver's knowledge of social support and how to develop it and cultural values that emphasize positive social interaction should be encouraged.

A multifaceted continuing professional development intervention to move stroke rehabilitation guidelines into professional practice: A feasibility study.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated the feasibility of assessing the impact of a CPD intervention in stroke rehabilitation uptake and informed the design of a research program aimed at increasing the use of stroke evidence-based rehabilitation interventions.

Effects of Exoskeleton Gait Training on Balance, Load Distribution, and Functional Status in Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: Both training with the use of the Ekso GT exoskeleton and classical physiotherapy lead to functional improvement of patients after ischemic stroke. However, in the experimental group, improvement was observed in a larger number of categories, which may suggest potentially greater impact of treatment with the exoskeleton on functional status. Also, both forms of rehabilitation caused significant changes in balance, but we have noted some trends indicating that treatment with exoskeleton may be more beneficial for some patients. The load transfer from the backfoot to the forefoot observed in the control group wa...

Four-week training involving self-ankle mobilization with movement versus calf muscle stretching in patients with chronic stroke: a randomized controlled study.
Conclusions: This study shows that S-MWM training combined with conventional physiotherapy improved ankle DF-PROM, gait parameters, and fall risk in patients with chronic stroke. PMID: 31742488 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Improvements in balance reaction impairments following reactive balance training in individuals with sub-acute stroke: A prospective cohort study with historical control.
Conclusions: Findings further support the use of RBT for post-stroke inpatient rehabilitation, and provide insight into specific balance reaction impairments that are improved by RBT. PMID: 31742486 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Contralateral seventh cervical nerve transfer can affect the pennation angle of the lower limb in spastic hemiplegia patients: An observational case series study
ConclusionsThis study indicates that C7 nerve transfer surgery for improving upper limb function can also affect muscle properties of lower limb in spastic hemiplegia patients, which reveals a link between the upper and lower limbs. The interlimb interactions should be considered in rehabilitation physiotherapy, and the regular pattern and mechanism need to be further studied.

The Influence of Sound-Based Interventions on Motor Behavior After Stroke: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Despite of the heterogeneity of the included studies, evidence was found demonstrating that SBI can induce biomechanical changes in motor behavior during walking in stroke patients. No conclusions could be formulated regarding reaching tasks. Additionally, directions for future research for understanding the underlying mechanism of the clinical improvements after SBI are: (1) using actual music pieces instead of rhythmic sound sequences and (2) examining sub-acute stroke rather than chronic stroke patients.
