Future-proofing the Profession: Physiotherapists ’ Perceptions of their Current and Emerging Role
This qualitative report is important and reflects the deeper thinking that is needed about the directions of physiotherapy as a leading established health profession [1]. As a profession we have shown less reflexivity and responsiveness to epidemiologic trends since the end of World War 2, over 70 years ago. Given the progressive increase in prevalence of chronic lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases since World War 2, namely, heart disease, cancer, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, renal disease, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer ’s disease and that non-invasive interventions are typically superior to drug...

To assess the effects of cross-education on strength and motor function in post stroke rehabilitation: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
Cross-education refers to the increase in motor output of the untrained limb following unilateral training of the opposite limb. Cross education has been shown to be beneficial in clinical settings.

Acceptability of Lycra arm sleeve in people with sub-acute stroke: patients ’, carers’ and clinicians’ perspectives
Previous studies found that the Lycra sleeve has potential to reduce glenohumeral subluxation in people with stroke. The primary aim of this study was to explore the acceptability of the Lycra sleeve from patients ’, carers’ and staff perceptive in the sub-acute phase of stroke.

Consideration-of-concept of EvolvRehab-Body for upper limb virtual rehabilitation at home for people late after stroke
EvolvRehab-Body is a non-immersive virtual rehabilitation system that could provide high-dose, exercise-based upper limb therapy after stroke. This consideration-of-concept study investigated: adherence rate to prescribed repetitions; viability of repeated measures in preparation for a dose-articulation study; and preliminary signal of potential benefit.

Application of the nominal group technique to inform a co-design project on power assisted exercise equipment for people with stroke
Purpose: Power assisted exercise equipment (PAE) is accessible for people with complex impairment following stroke. A range of nine seated machines which assist multi-directional movement are currently manufactured in the UK. People with stroke report significant physical and psycho-social benefits with use of the equipment, but current programming is not aligned with published exercise guidelines and does not generate feedback on user performance.

Service evaluation of lifestyle integrated functional exercise program for falls prevention in early supported discharge stroke patients
Purpose: Stroke survivors are at greater risk of falling both as inpatients and through their post stroke life (Weerddesteyn et al., 2008). It is suggested that research is needed to specify effective behavioural approaches to increase exercise post stroke (Prior and Suskin, 2018). A falls programs that incorporates behaviour change is the Life style integrated functional exercise (LiFE) program for falls prevention (Clemson et al., 2012). The service evaluation was a two site study to evaluate the LiFE programme to prevent falls a behaviour change approach compared to conventional Physiotherapy in Early Supported.

Does an enriched environment affect patient activity levels at the Oxfordshire Stroke Rehabilitation Unit?
Purpose: Despite much innovation in stroke care over the past 10 years, patients remain inactive and alone, even in rehabilitation settings. Increased activity levels post stroke can improve functional outcomes, independence, and have a positive impact on quality of life. In recent years the concept of enriched environments gained traction as a potential method to increase activity levels without significant change in services resources or staffing. An enriched environment is simply one which promotes physical, cognitive and social activity through an enabling ethos and accessibility to relevant resources.

A feasibility study into the effectiveness of a cue intervention, to increase physical activity levels in ambulatory chronic stroke
Purpose: Physical inactivity is the second highest population-attributable risk factor for stroke, following hypertension. Continuity of care, resources and information available to help adapt to life after stroke, following discharge from hospital is poor. Physiological and psychological changes further contribute to physical inactivity, and only a small proportion make full recovery. Frequently breaking up prolonged sitting with physical activity or standing can improve cardiometabolic health and reduce occurrence of stroke.
