Effects of individualized lower limb isokinetic strengthening in clinical rehabilitation of older post-stroke patients: A retrospective study
CONCLUSION: This retrospective clinical study suggests that lower limb isokinetic strengthening, individualized using the moment-velocity profile, is clinically efficient for functional recovery during post-stroke rehabilitation of older patients. Intragroup effects of isokinetic strengthening also suggest benefits for muscular parameters.PMID:37548388 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v55.7803

Group-based circuit training to improve mobility after stroke: a cross-sectional survey of German and Austrian physical therapists in outpatient settings
CONCLUSION: German and Austrian PTs do not yet use GCT in outpatient physical therapy for stroke. Almost half of PTs, however, employ task-oriented training as recommended across guidelines. A detailed, theory-driven and country-specific evaluation of barriers to GCT uptake is necessary to inform implementation.PMID:37424481 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230010

Returning to School after Pediatric Stroke
Returning to school after a pediatric stroke can be overwhelming. Brain injury of any kind can have an impact on learning and daily life. Research shows that many students who have had a brain injury benefit from monitoring of academic progress and accommodations in school (1). Your student may need a new school plan after their stroke to help them be successful.

Simple and choice reaction times of healthy adults and patients after stroke during simulated driving
We examined whether driving-related reaction times differ between 26 healthy adults (university students) and 26 patients after stroke, and how distractors and leg-dominance affect reaction time and correctness of reactions of healthy adults. Reaction times were measured with the Fiat Mediatester driving simulator using 18-lamps reaction test (simple reaction time measurement) and choice reaction test (scored as reaction time and number of correct reactions). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in simple reaction time. As expected, choice reaction times of the healthy adults were shorter on...

Development and validity of an innovative test to assess guideline-consistent clinical reasoning by physical therapists in stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: The script concordance test has good construct validity. Greater self-reported guideline knowledge, successful completion of the post-bachelor Dutch Neurorehabilitation course, as well as systematic participation in professional development activities facilitate important factors that enhance specialization. The script concordance test is a valid feedback tool for physical therapists to support professional development in the domain of stroke rehabilitation.

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 can predict the institutionalization of the patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: WHODAS 2.0 scores, urbanization level, and severity of impairment were positive factors for the institutionalization of patients with stroke in long-term care facilities, whereas the female sex and an age of ≥85 years were negative factors. The cognition and mobility domains and standardized WHODAS 2.0 scores were more accurate for predicting the institutionalization of patients with stroke. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Proper analysis of the functioning status and risk factors, as well as prediction of discharge destination for the patients with stroke can help the healthcare system reduce unnecessa...

Training effects of wheelchair dance on aerobic fitness in bedridden individuals with severe athetospastic cerebral palsy rated to GMFCS level V.
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This is the first study that shows wheelchair dance may possibly increase aerobic fitness in bedridden individuals with severe athetospastic cerebral palsty rated GMFCS level V. Future studies with a larger sample will be warranted to prove the claim. PMID: 28178772 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Trunk kinematics related to generation and  transfer of the trunk flexor momentum are associated with sit-to-stand performance in chronic stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: The poorer STS performance in stroke survivors is associated to the kinematic changes of the trunk related to the poorer ability to generate/transfer the trunk flexor momentum. PMID: 27792018 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A more symmetrical gait after split-belt treadmill walking increases the effort in paretic plantar flexors in people post-stroke.
CONCLUSION: A more symmetrical gait increases paretic plantar flexor efforts. Individuals post-stroke presenting high plantar flexor efforts when walking have limited muscle capacity to increase non-paretic step after split-belt walking. PMID: 27345026 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
