A retrospective study on return to living alone of stroke patients who were living alone before stroke
Conclusion] Social factors and ability to perform activities of daily living are important for return to solitary living for patients with stroke who lived alone prior to stroke onset.PMID:37266369 | PMC:PMC10231966 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.35.440

Differences in Skeletal Muscle Fiber Characteristics between Affected and Nonaffected Limbs in Individuals with Stroke: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSIONS: Of the limited available evidence, stroke appears to result in a shift to a higher proportion of type II muscle fibers in the paretic muscles. There are mixed results for effects on muscle fiber CSA, but there is some evidence of specific atrophy of type II muscle fibers.IMPACT: Changes in paretic skeletal muscle fibers of individuals with stroke may explain, in part, the substantial losses in strength and power in this population. Interventions to restore type II muscle fiber size may benefit people with stroke.PMID:37478464 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad095

The Stroke Upper and Lower Extremity Physical Function Measures Were Supported for Score Reliability, Validity, and Administration Efficiency for Patients Poststroke
CONCLUSION: The stroke upper extremity and stroke lower extremity PROM scores were reliable, valid, and efficient and had moderate change effect sizes for assessing physical function as perceived by patients poststroke with upper and lower extremity impairments. Scores had negligible floor and acceptable ceiling effects. Based on these results, the stroke PROMs are suitable for research and routine clinical practice.IMPACT: As item response theory-based measures, these PROMs support clinical practice guideline recommendations for the use of outcome measures in neurologic physical therapy and the administration of condition...

Changes in bone density and geometry of the upper extremities after stroke: a case report.
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine changes in bone density and geometry of the forearm region and motor function of the paretic upper extremity in a person with subacute stroke. Client Description: The participant was a 48-year-old man with right hemiparesis. Intervention: Not applicable. Measures and Outcomes: The assessment of upper-extremity (UE) function and bone imaging took place at 3 months and 12 months after stroke. The participant had moderate motor impairment and severe disuse of the paretic UE 3 months after stroke. During the follow-up period, no substantial change in paretic U...

Acupuncture in Subacute Stroke: No Benefits Detected.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with subacute stroke, the addition of body and scalp acupuncture to a regimen of conventional physical therapy does not result in further improvement in either motor function or activities of daily living beyond the effect of conventional physical therapy alone.

Submaximal and peak cardiorespiratory response after moderate-high intensity exercise training in subacute stroke.
CONCLUSION: Moderate-high intensity aerobic exercise in subacute stroke appears to be beneficial for improving cardiovascular outcomes during submaximal performance of an exercise test. PMID: 23997687 [PubMed]

Muscle Atrophy, Voluntary Activation Disturbances, and Low Concentrations of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 Are Associated With Weakness in People With Chronic Stroke.
ConclusionsLow serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations, deficits in neuromuscular performance, selective muscle atrophy, and decreased agonist muscle activation are presented in chronic post-stroke subjects. PMID: 24578521 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviours of chinese and European canadians: implications for physical therapists.
Conclusions: Theoretical dimensions of culture may explain variations in stroke-related knowledge, behaviours, and beliefs between CCs and ECs. Awareness of cultural differences can help physical therapists evaluate clients and appropriately tailor lifestyle-related health education. PMID: 24799757 [PubMed]

Functional Limitations due to Fatigue Among Independently Ambulant Stroke Survivors in Osun, South‐Western Nigeria
This study assessed the functional limitations due to fatigue in community‐dwelling stroke survivors undergoing physiotherapy. The differences in functional limitations due to fatigue were determined between sexes, stroke types, sides of affectation, age categories and levels of disability. Relationships between functional limitation due to fatigue and these variables were also determined. MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study involving 63 stroke survivors (35 male survivors and 28 female survivors) with ages ranging from 45 to 79 years (mean = 53.68 ± 10.95 years). Functional limitation due to fatigue w...

Reliability and Validity of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) in People With Subacute Stroke.
CONCLUSION: The BESTest is reliable, valid, and sensitive and specific in assessing balance in persons with subacute stroke across all levels of functional disability. PMID: 24925073 [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.

Combined Clinical and Home Rehabilitation: A Case Report of an Integrated Knowledge-to-Action Study in a Dutch Rehabilitation Stroke Unit.
DISCUSSION: Improving local settings with available evidence is not a straightforward application process but rather a matter of searching, logical reasoning, and creatively working with heterogeneous knowledge sources in partnership with different stakeholders. Multiple organizational levels need to be addressed rather than focusing on therapists as sole site of change. PMID: 25504490 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
