Floor-to-Stand Performance Among People Following Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The TSS demonstrates concurrent validity with physical performance measures.IMPACT: Findings serve to improve functional mobility examination after stroke and to formulate effective treatment interventions to improved floor-to-stand performance.PMID:37690073 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad122

A Novel Mobilization Criteria Checklist 12 to 24 Hours After Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke
This study describes the development and utilization of a novel mobilization criteria checklist that can guide clinical decision making to safely initiate very early mobilization for patients with acute ischemic stroke within 12 to 24 hours after intravenous (IV) thrombolysis. Methods: The evidence was examined, and risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation and considerations for initiating or terminating mobility within the first 12 to 24 hours were identified. The information was formatted into a mobilization criteria checklist for use in a case study 12 to 24 hours after tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), an I...

Immediate effect of standing and sit-to-stand training on postural vertical for backward disequilibrium following stroke: a case report
CONCLUSION: Standing and sit-to-stand/stand-to-sit training aimed at shifting center of gravity and subjective postural vertical in the anterior direction appeared to improve backward disequilibrium and correct tilt to the anterior direction for this participant. Long-term effects of the training for this participant were not determined.PMID:35152843 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2037031

Effects of kinesthetic illusion induced by visual stimulation on the ankle joint for sit-to-stand in a hemiparesis stroke patient: ABA' single-case design
Conclusion] Kinesthetic illusion induced by visual stimulation for a hemiparesis stroke patient affected the ankle dorsiflexion function, resulting in an improved asymmetry during sit-to-stand as assessed by weight-bearing symmetry values.PMID:35035082 | PMC:PMC8752272 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.65

Prevalence of Walking Limitation after Acute Stroke and its Impact on Discharge to Home
CONCLUSION: Approximately half of patients with first-ever stroke present with lower extremity weakness and walking limitation. Early walking ability is a significant predictor of returning home after acute hospitalization, independent of stroke severity. Discharge planning may be facilitated early after stroke with the familiar assessment of walking ability.IMPACT: An early assessment of walking function within days of stroke admission can help to streamline discharge planning.LAY SUMMARY: Nearly half of all individuals who experience a first-time stroke have walking difficulty when they arrive to the hospital. The severi...

The Progress of the Gait Impairment and Brain Activation in a Patient with Post-stroke Hemidystonia
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that there was improvement of the patient's symptoms of post-stroke hemidystonia due to changes in the brain activity during voluntary movement after BWS intervention. Body weight-supported treadmill training may thus be an effective treatment for patients with poststroke hemidystonia.PMID:34532214 | PMC:PMC8419483 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10032

Brain Function Changes Induced by Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression in Patients with Stroke as Assessed by Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
CONCLUSIONS: The significantly increased WA values in the frequency intervals III, IV, and V in the MC of patients with ischemic stroke might be related to cortical activity in the MC in addition to increased cerebral perfusion. The decreased LI values in the prefrontal cortex and MC indicated that the ISPC may have had a positive effect on the functional rehabilitation of these regions.IMPACT: This study provides a method for assessing the effects of ISPC on cerebral oscillations, and the results benefit the optimization of ISPC parameters in personalized treatment for the functional recovery of patients with stroke.PMID:...

Physiotherapists' experiences of early mobilization after stroke thrombolysis in England and Wales: A qualitative study.
CONCLUSIONS: Physiotherapists describe a variety of practices with careful implementation of any early mobilization after thrombolysis. Common factors of risk assessment reported by participants could contribute to guideline development. PMID: 32735467 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patients With Greater Stroke Severity and Premorbid Disability Are Less Likely to Receive Therapist Consultations and Intervention During Acute Care Hospitalization.
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 1 in 4 participants with acute stroke received neither a consultation nor an intervention. Efforts to improve the delivery of acute care therapy services are needed to optimize care for these people. PMID: 31390013 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patient-selected music rhythmically-paired with in-patient rehabilitation: A case report on an individual with acute stroke.
Conclusion: Incorporating patient-selected music with in-patient physical rehabilitation may be a feasible intervention for patients with acute stroke. Further research with an adequate sample size that randomly assigns patients to music and control conditions is necessary to confirm the promising findings from this case report.

Rehabilitation for a complex patient following cerebellar hemorrhage and obstructive hydrocephalus: A case report.
Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Inpatient rehabilitation facilities play an integral role in patient progress post-stroke. Cerebellar hemorrhages are an infrequent type of stroke and are therefore less discussed in the literature; however, inpatient rehabilitation continues to be an integral part of patient recovery. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the physical therapy interventions, challenges, and successes for a complex patient with a large cerebellar hemorrhage with obstructive hydrocephalus. CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient is a 32-year-old male admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facilit...
