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

Adaptation to poststroke fatigue in stroke survivors and their care partners: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors had many types of challenges and strategies for fatigue adaptation. Survivors received family, employer, and colleague support but how care partners help survivors develop new skills is unknown. Stroke survivors expressed that healthcare professionals need to teach survivors and care partners basic knowledge of fatigue that meet their personal needs and provide adaptive interventions for survivors. Implications for rehabilitationThe challenges of poststroke fatigue are multifaceted because fatigue influences stroke survivors' physical, cognitive, mental, and social aspects of recovery.Stroke s...

Assessing the fidelity of the independently getting up off the floor (IGO) technique as part of the ReTrain pilot feasibility randomised controlled trial for stroke survivors
CONCLUSIONS: IGO was successfully and safely practised by stroke survivors including those with hemiparesis. Trainers should be aware of comorbidities that may impede completion of IGO and modify teaching to accommodate individual need. Further research should assess if IGO can be utilised by individuals who have other disabilities with unilateral impairments and whether IGO has physical, functional and economic benefit.Implications for rehabilitationFalls are common in stroke survivors, and many are unable to get up despite being uninjured, leading to long-lie complications or ambulance call-outs but non-conveyance to hos...

How do healthcare professionals experience communication with people with aphasia and what content should communication partner training entail?
CONCLUSIONS: According to HCP, communication difficulties challenge the provision of healthcare activities and lead to negative feelings in HCP. HCP suggest that communication can be improved by providing more time in the healthcare pathway of people with aphasia, adapting healthcare information to the needs of people with aphasia, commitment of physicians and managers, changing the roles of SLTs and improving knowledge and skills of HCP. Implications for rehabilitation Communication between healthcare professionals (HCP) and people with aphasia can be improved by training HCP to use supportive conversation techniques and ...

Early diagnosis of heterotopic ossification among patients admitted to a neurological post intensive care rehabilitation unit.
CONCLUSIONS: HO is a sub-acute complication which develops in patients admitted to ICU for severe central nervous system disorders as clinical suspicion or radiological confirmation of diagnosis was made within the first week after admission in neurological PICRU (i.e. 6 to 8 weeks after ICU admission). CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: As treatment for HO may at least partially improves rehabilitation and quality of life, we recommend a systematic screening in PICRU patients for HO by clinical examination supplemented by imaging in case of suspicion.

Disability assessment in stroke: Relationship among the pictorial-based Longshi Scale, the Barthel Index, and the modified Rankin Scale.
CONCLUSION: Using the Barthel Index as reference, the proposed Longshi Scale has better ability than the modified Rankin Scale in differentiating stroke patients' disability, especially for those with higher level of activities of daily living. PMID: 33401949 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
