Identification of Disability Subgroups for Patients After Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: Five disability subgroups were identified for patients after ischemic stroke. The disability subgroups provide a common language for clinicians to organize the heterogeneity of disability after stroke.IMPACT: Using the disability subgroups, the multidisciplinary team might be able to improve the accuracy and efficiency of care decisions. The number of current rehabilitation interventions is indeterminable; these subgroups may help to guide clinicians in selecting the most beneficial interventions for patients based on subgroup membership.PMID:37172127 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad001

Measurement Properties of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale in Rehabilitation for Patients With Stroke: A Prospective Observational Study
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates satisfactory measurement properties for the PSFS in individuals undergoing inpatient stroke rehabilitation.IMPACT: This study supports the use of the PSFS to document and monitor patient-identified rehabilitation goals in patients receiving subacute stroke rehabilitation when applied using a shared decision approach.PMID:37140476 | PMC:PMC10158643 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad014

Gut microbiome plays a vital role in post-stroke injury repair by mediating neuroinflammation
In this study, we reviewed the role of the gut microbiome in cerebral stroke and the underlying mechanism of the AMPK signaling pathway in stroke. AMPK mediators in nerve repair and the regulation of intestinal microbial balance were also summarized.PMID:37031605 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110126

Efficacy and Dose of Rehabilitation Approaches for Severe Upper Limb Impairments and Disability During Early Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Different rehabilitation approaches seem to improve severe upper limb impairments and disability in the subacute stage after stroke; however, they are not distinctly superior to standard care or other interventions provided at the same dosage.IMPACT: Robotic therapy and functional electrical stimulation add variety to rehabilitation programs, but their benefit has not been shown to exceed that of standard care. Further research is necessary to identify the impact of dosage parameters (eg, intensity) on severe upper limb motor impairments and function, especially in the acute stage.PMID:37014279 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad002

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Brazilian version of the PM-Scale: A specific measure of participation after stroke
CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of the PM-Scale is a valid, unidimensional, linear, reliable scale for measuring participation in stroke survivors and can be administered in less than five minutes.PMID:37001362 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2023.100497

Effect of cyborg-type robot Hybrid Assistive Limb on patients with severe walking disability in acute stroke: A randomized controlled study
To investigate whether early gait training using Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) is feasible and improves walking and independency compared with conventional physical therapy (CPT) in patients with severe walking disability after stroke.

Caregiver Perceptions of an Interdisciplinary Intensive Therapy Program: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers valued interdisciplinary intensive therapy. For children with complex rehabilitation needs, an interdisciplinary, intensive therapy program may be a viable alternative to traditional therapy models for service delivery.PMID:36637445 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000000994

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 712: Perspectives of Motor Functional upper Extremity Recovery with the Use of Immersive Virtual Reality in Stroke Patients
ński Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability, including loss of hand manipulative skills. It constitutes a major limitation in independence and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Among the numerous accessible physiotherapeutic methods, it is becoming more common to apply Virtual Reality "VR”. The aim of this study was to establish whether immersive VR was worth considering as a form of physical therapy and the advisability of applying it in restoring post-stroke hand function impairment. A proprietary application Virtual Mirror Hand 1.0 was used in the research and its effectivenes...

COMIRESTROKE —A clinical study protocol for monitoring clinical effect and molecular biological readouts of COMprehensive Intensive REhabilitation program after STROKE: A four-arm parallel-group randomized double blinded controlled trial with a longitudinal design
In this study, four kinds of comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation with different management and content of physical therapy will be compared. Moreover, focus will be placed on the identification of novel biological molecules reflective of effective rehabilitation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts (>200 bps) of limited coding potential, which have recently been recognized as key factors in neuronal signaling pathways in ischemic stroke and as such, may provide a valuable readout of patient recovery and neuroprotection during therapeutic progression.Methods and analysisAdults after the first ischemic strok...
