Use of an EMG-Controlled Game as a Therapeutic Tool to Retrain Hand Muscle Activation Patterns Following Stroke: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors could successfully use the EMG-controlled games to train control of muscle activation patterns. While the nonparetic limb EMG was used in this study to create target EMG patterns, the system supports various means for creating target patterns per user desires. Future studies will employ training with the EMG-controlled games in conjunction with functional task practice for a longer intervention duration to improve overall hand function.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A379).PMID:3...

Modelling the potential health and economic benefits of reducing population sitting time in Australia
CONCLUSIONS: Excessive sedentary time results in considerable population health burden in Australia. This paper describes the development of the first Australian sedentary behaviour model that can be used to predict the long term consequences of interventions targeted at reducing sedentary behaviour through reductions in sitting time. These estimates may be used by decision makers when prioritising healthcare resources and investing in preventative public health initiatives.PMID:35305678 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-022-01276-2

The Effect of Missed Items on the Reliability of the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process
CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should make every effort to capture all items on the KF-NAP. However, missed items occur in the majority of cases due to patient factors and barriers inherent to the inpatient hospital setting. When missed items are necessary, clinicians can confidently interpret a prorated score when seven or more items are scored.PMID:35304121 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.01.165

Evaluating and Characterizing an Individually-Tailored Community Exercise Program for Older Adults With Chronic Neurological Conditions: A Mixed-Methods Study
J Aging Phys Act. 2022 Mar 16:1-14. doi: 10.1123/japa.2021-0292. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA mixed-methods approach was used to study an individually-tailored community exercise program for people with a range of chronic neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease) and abilities. The program was delivered to older adults (mean age: 62 ± 9 years) with chronic neurological conditions across a 12-week and an 8-week term. Participants attended 88% of sessions and completed 89% of prescribed exercises in those sessions. There were no adverse events. Clini...

Immediate effects of neuromuscular joint-facilitation bridging exercises on walking ability and balance function in stroke patients
Conclusion] The neuromuscular joint-facilitation bridge intervention was immediately effective in patients with hemiplegia caused by cerebrovascular accidents and improved their walking and balance ability.PMID:35291474 | PMC:PMC8918109 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.172

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Real-World Functional Behaviors in Individuals with Stroke: A Longitudinal Observational Study
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reveal that EMA tracked post-stroke functioning precisely. EMA may be beneficial in examining post-stroke functional recovery, monitoring patients for home-based interventions, and for longitudinal research.PMID:35278467 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.02.011

Emulating Three Clinical Trials that Compare Stroke Rehabilitation at Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities to Skilled Nursing Facilities
CONCLUSION(S): IRF patients had superior outcomes, but differences were attenuated when IRFs and SNFs from larger rehabilitation networks were compared. The vulnerability of the findings to unmeasured confounding supports the need for an RCT.PMID:35245481 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2021.12.029

Factors that Influence the Clinical Implementation of Aerobic Exercise in Stroke Rehabilitation: a Theory-Informed Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: Strategies to support implementation of AEx in stroke rehabilitation should incorporate knowledge and skills; the provision of clinical decision-making tools; access to expert consultation; the roles and social influence of the interprofessional team and formal and informal leaders; and supportive processes adapted to the local context.IMPACT: Results from this study will inform the development of a clinical implementation toolkit to support clinical uptake of AEx in the stroke rehabilitation setting.PMID:35194641 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzac014

Predictive Equations Overestimate Resting Metabolic Rate in Chronic Stroke Survivors
CONCLUSION: RMR predictive equations established in healthy adults are not appropriate for the chronic stroke population, indicating the need to measure RMR until a more accurate predictive equation is developed. This could support modifications to nutritional intake guidelines in patients with conditions of muscle atrophy. If measurement of RMR is not feasible, the Katch-McArdle equation should be used to estimate RMR in a stroke patient, as, on average, it provides the lowest percentage overestimate compared to other equations.PMID:35192798 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.01.155
