Associations Between Sensorimotor Impairments in the Upper Limb at 1 Week and 6 Months After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that somatosensory impairments are common and suggests that the association with upper limb motor and functional performance increases with time after stroke.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A138).

Using the TIDieR Checklist to Standardize the Description of a Functional Strength Training Intervention for the Upper Limb After Stroke
Conclusions: TIDieR is a systematic way of reporting the intervention delivered in a clinical trial of a complex intervention such as stroke rehabilitation. This approach may also have value for standardizing intervention in clinical practice.

Counteracting learned non-use in chronic stroke patients with reinforcement-induced movement therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Implicitly reinforcing arm-use by augmenting visuomotor feedback as proposed by RIMT seems beneficial for inducing significant improvement in chronic stroke patients. By challenging the patients' self-limiting believe system and perceived low self-efficacy this approach might counteract learned non-use. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical Trials NCT02657070 .

Relationship between dynamic balance and spatiotemporal gait symmetry in hemiplegic patients with chronic stroke
Conclusion Thus, control of dynamic balance abilities is related to the magnitude of temporal gait symmetry. This observation suggests that rehabilitation strategies that improve dynamic balance may enhance temporal gait symmetry in post-stroke patients.

Genetic Variation and Neuroplasticity: Role in Rehabilitation After Stroke.
Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In many neurologic diagnoses, significant interindividual variability exists in the outcomes of rehabilitation. One factor that may impact response to rehabilitation interventions is genetic variation. Genetic variation refers to the presence of differences in the DNA sequence among individuals in a population. Genetic polymorphisms are variations that occur relatively commonly and, while not disease-causing, can impact the function of biological systems. The purpose of this article is to describe genetic polymorphisms that may impact neuroplasticity, motor learning, and recovery a...

Relationship between oxygen cost of walking and level of walking disability after stroke: An experimental study
This study investigated the nature of the relationship between level of disability and oxygen cost in people with chronic stroke. MethodsLevel of walking disability was measured as comfortable walking speed using the 10‐m Walk Test reported in m/s with 55 ambulatory people 2 years after stroke. Oxygen cost was measured during 3 walking tasks: overground walking at comfortable speed, overground walking at fast speed, and stair walking at comfortable speed. Oxygen cost was calculated from oxygen uptake divided by distance covered during walking and reported in ml∙kg−1∙m−1. ResultsThe relationship between level of ...

Step count accuracy and reliability of two activity tracking devices in people after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Fitbit Zip was more accurate and reliable for persons with stroke than Garmin Vivofit, but slower walking speeds were associated with greater undercounting of steps for both devices. The Fitbit Zip is appropriate for counting steps in adults poststroke who range from household to community ambulators. PMID: 28777710 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome Measure Scores Predict Discharge Destination in Patients With Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review and Series of Meta-analyses
Conclusion: Outcome measure scores are strong predictors of discharge destination among patients with stroke and provide an objective means of early discharge planning. Discharge decisions should be made with consideration for patient-specific biopsychosocial factors that may supersede isolated results of the outcome measures, and further research needs to assess the success of the location that a patient is referred at discharge.

Evaluation of three measures of cardiorespiratory fitness in independently ambulant stroke survivors.
Abstract Measuring cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in the stroke population is challenging. Currently, the recommended method is a graded exercise test (GXT) on an ergometer such as a treadmill or cycle, which may not always be possible. We investigated whether walking tests such as the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the shuttle walk test (SWT) may be appropriate indicators of CRF in the stroke population. Twenty-three independently ambulant stroke survivors (11 men, age 61.5 ± 18.4 years) within one-year post stroke performed the 6MWT, SWT, and cycle GXT, during which peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and he...

Profile of upper limb recovery and development of secondary impairments in patients after stroke with a disabled upper limb: An observational study.
CONCLUSION: Most patients with a disabled upper limb after stroke have little recovery of activity in the first 12 weeks. Shoulder pain on movement at 2 weeks should be flagged as a predictor of future pain. PMID: 29889584 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Gait Training after Stroke on a Self-Paced Treadmill with and without Virtual Environment Scenarios: A Proof-of-Principle Study.
Conclusions: Despite the limited potential for functional recovery from chronic stroke, an individual can achieve improvements in mobility and self-efficacy after participating in VR-coupled treadmill training, compared with treadmill training with the same intensity and surface perturbations but without VR immersion. A larger scale, randomized controlled trial is warranted to determine the efficacy of VR-coupled treadmill training for mobility intervention post-stroke. PMID: 30275647 [PubMed]

Building a Bridge to the Community - An Integrated Knowledge Translation Approach to Improving Participation in Community-Based Exercise for People after Stroke.
Conclusion: Data from this study support the necessity for the community sector to offer a continuing service in partnership with the health system and people with chronic health needs. It indicates the potential of clinicians to partner with people with chronic health conditions and empower them to improve participation in relevant health behaviors, like community-based exercise.
