Secondary Analysis of Walking Activities during the Acute Stroke Hospital Stay and Cerebrovascular Health
CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity during the hospital stay post-stroke may support cerebrovascular health after discharge. Prospective studies are needed to support this finding.PMID:35910593 | PMC:PMC9327803 | DOI:10.1097/CPT.0000000000000196

Deep flexion activity training in a patient with stroke using task-oriented exercise: a case report.
Discussion: The task-oriented deep flexion activity intervention was associated with positive changes in functional activity and social participation in a patient recovering from stroke. PMID: 24188030 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impaired Reactive Stepping Among Patients Ready for Discharge From Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired reactive stepping is a prevalent problem for ambulatory patients with stroke preparing for discharge which could possibly increase their risk of falling when faced with the challenges of community ambulation. Specific tests that target the capacity to perform perturbation-evoked stepping reactions may be important to identify those at risk for falls & to direct appropriate intervention strategies.

Psychometrics of the Wrist Stability and Hand Mobility Subscales of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment in Moderately Impaired Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: It appears that the w/h UE FM is a promising tool to measure distal UE movement in patients with little active paretic wrist and finger movement. This finding widens the segment of patients on whom the w/h UE FM can be effectively used, and addresses a gap, since commonly used measures necessitate active distal UE movement.

A Cognitive-Balance Control Training Paradigm Using Wii Fit to Reduce Fall Risk in Chronic Stroke Survivors.
CONCLUSIONS:: The results demonstrate good adherence and evidence of clinical value of this high-intensity, short-duration protocol for reducing cognitive-motor interference and improving balance control in stroke survivors. Future studies should examine the dose-response effects and long-term changes of such DT training paradigm applied to improve fall efficacy.

Modified Rivermead Mobility Index: a reliable measure in people within 14 days post-stroke.
Conclusion: The MRMI is a reliable measure of physical mobility in the early post-stroke phase. PMID: 25238211 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Descriptive Data Analysis Examining How Standardized Assessments Are Used to Guide Post-Acute Discharge Recommendations for Rehabilitation Services After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants post-stroke can be classified into meaningful groups based on assessment scores from their initial PT and OT evaluations. These assessment scores, in part guide post-stroke acute care discharge recommendations. PMID: 25504485 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aftereffects of 2 Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Techniques on Corticospinal Excitability in Persons With Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study
Conclusion:Both 5-Hz rTMS and anodal tDCS induced effects on corticospinal excitability in persons with chronic stroke lasting at least 1 hour after stimulation. In the absence of concurrent motor practice, neither form of stimulation applied in a single session was associated the changes in motor performance. These approaches to increased cortical excitability may be of value as adjuncts to training.Video Abstract available: See Video (Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A83) for more insights from the authors.

Cardiovascular Stress Induced by Whole-Body Vibration Exercise in Individuals With Chronic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Addition of high- and low-intensity WBV significantly increased the VO2 and HR, but the increase was modest. WBV thus should not pose any substantial cardiovascular hazard in people with chronic stroke. PMID: 25592188 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy After Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A for a Patient With Chronic Stroke: One-Year Follow-up Case Report.
DISCUSSION: The improved arm function could reflect improvements in volitional movements and coordination or speed of movements in the paretic arm that resulted from a reduction in spasticity, a reduction of learned nonuse behaviors, or use-dependent plasticity after the combination of BTX type A and constraint-induced movement therapy. If this approach proves useful in future controlled studies, this may halt the rising medical costs of the treatment of stroke. PMID: 25592185 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of the Responsiveness of the Long-Form and Simplified Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement: Group- and Individual-Level Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The STREAM-27 detected more patients with significant recovery than the STREAM-15 did, although the group-level responsiveness of the two measures was the same. The STREAM-27 is recommended as an outcome measure to demonstrate the treatment effects of movement and mobility for patients with stroke. PMID: 25744276 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of Vibration Intensity, Exercise, and Motor Impairment on Leg Muscle Activity Induced by Whole-Body Vibration in People With Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Adding WBV during exercise significantly increased EMG activity in TA and BF. The EMG responses to WBV in the paretic and non-paretic legs were similar, and were not related to degree of motor impairment and spasticity. The findings are useful for guiding the design of WBV training protocols for people with stroke. PMID: 26023219 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Rehabilitation that incorporates virtual reality is more effective than standard rehabilitation for improving walking speed, balance and mobility after stroke: a systematic review
Conclusion: Substituting some or all of a standard rehabilitation regimen with VRBR elicits greater benefits in walking speed, balance and mobility in people with stroke. Although the benefits are small, the extra cost of applying virtual reality to standard rehabilitation is also small, especially when spread over many patients in a clinic. Adding extra VRBR time to standard rehabilitation also has some benefits; further research is needed to determine if these benefits are clinically worthwhile.
