Community ambulation after chronic stroke: A cross-sectional study
To investigate the association of multiple predictors (gait ability, depression, balance, strength of knee extensors on the paretic side, and mobility) with community ambulation (walking speed ≥0.8m/s) of individuals after chronic stroke.

Examining the factors associated with functional capacity of community-dwelling older adults using the ICF framework: a cross-sectional study from the Frailty in Brazilian Older Adults Study (FIBRA)
CONCLUSION: Functional capacity of older adults is associated with some non-modifiable factors, such as age and sex. The modifiable factors must be addressed by health professionals and policymakers in the geriatric area, especially depression, obesity, physical inactivity, and social support.PMID:35659442 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2079574

Can gait outcomes be predicted early after a stroke?
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical bedside assessments may be less important in predicting safe, independent gait than previously thought. Urinary incontinence and poor mental health should be addressed in the hospital. Increased utilization of reperfusion techniques may alter functional recovery patterns.PMID:35437107 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2064379

Isotemporal Substitution of Sedentary Behavior with Moderate- to Vigorous- Physical Activity Is Associated with Lower Risk of Disability: A Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: Replacing SB with MVPA was associated with a lower risk of disability. These findings are helpful for establishing disability prevention strategies.IMPACT: These results suggest that feasible changes in daily behavior, such as replacing 10 minutes of SB with MVPA daily, might have a protective effect on disability incidence. Clarifying these associations is useful for developing disability prevention strategies and may help reduce the incidence of disability in community-dwelling older adults.PMID:35079837 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzac002

Depressive Symptoms Moderate the Relationship among Physical Capacity, Balance Self-Efficacy, and Participation in People after Stroke
CONCLUSION: The results suggest the relationship between physical capacity and participation appears to be mediated by balance self-efficacy in individuals after stroke with low reports of depressive symptoms but in those with high reports of depressive symptoms, physical capacity and balance self-efficacy are unrelated to participation.IMPACT: Targeting balance self-efficacy to improve post stroke participation may only be beneficial for individuals with low reports of depression. In individuals after stroke with high reports of depression, treatment should include and emphasize the treatment of those depressive symptoms....

Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) delivered via dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on central post-stroke pain and depression: a case report
Conclusions: Further research is needed to determine if a series of periodic tDCS with short-intersession intervals applied to the DLPFC may be more effective than a single tDCS with long inter-session intervals, in decreasing pain and inducing long-term improvement in mood in people with stroke.PMID:33648417 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1891591

Effect of Virtual Reality Gait Training on Participation in Survivors of Subacute Stroke: Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The effect of VRT was not statistically different from non-VRT in improving participation in community-living people after stroke. IMPACT: Although outcomes were not statistically different, treadmill-based VRT was a safe and well-tolerated intervention that was positively rated by people after stroke. VR training might, therefore, be a valuable addition to stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 33594443 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Readiness to Change is Related to Real-World Walking and Depressive Symptoms in Chronic Stroke
This study aims to apply the transtheoretical model in understanding a person with stroke's readiness to change their activity level, as it relates to physical capacity, physical health, depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, and daily stepping activity. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a clinical trial. Participants' readiness to change their activity levels was measured via self-report and daily stepping activity was measured using a step activity monitor. Robust regression (M-estimation with robust standard errors) was used to test the relationship between readiness to change and me...
