Immediate effect of different ankle-foot orthosis functions with the same dorsiflexed setting of initial ankle joint angle on walking ability in individuals with chronic stroke: a randomized crossover trial
Conclusion] In individuals with chronic stroke, ankle-foot orthosis function may be less important than the dorsiflexed setting of initial ankle joint angle in the ankle-foot orthosis.PMID:35784608 | PMC:PMC9246403 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.34.485

Physical Activity After Transient Ischemic Attack or Mild Stroke Is Business as Usual
CONCLUSION: Information about the necessity to engage in recommended physical activity levels requires tailoring to the needs of the people with TIA or mild stroke. Helpful information in combination with support and strategies may guide how to navigate factors preventing engagement and might influence the low level of physical activity prevalent in this population.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1 available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A376).PMID:35727994 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000395

Sex Differences in Functional Capacity in Older Adults with Stroke: an Analysis of Data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study
CONCLUSION: Older women with stroke have clinically meaningfully lower overall functional capacity as compared with older men but decline at a similar rate over time. Walking speed was lower among older women with stroke, but similar between sexes in 5XSST.IMPACT: Women with stroke have poorer functional capacity compared with men, which reinforces the importance of targeted stroke rehabilitation strategies to address these sex-specific disparities.PMID:35689806 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzac077

Bicephalic Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation Does Not Add Benefits to a Footdrop Stimulator for Improving Functional Mobility in People with Chronic Hemiparesis after Stroke: a Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: On the basis of the results of this study, there is no evidence that bicephalic tDCS improves functional mobility, spasticity, quality of life, or walking endurance in people with chronic hemiparesis after stroke.IMPACT STATEMENT: Bicephalic tDCS does not add relevant benefits to FDS and gait training in people who have chronic hemiparesis after stroke. Given that tDCS has few additional effects and given its costs for clinical practice, tDCS for rehabilitation in people with chronic hemiparesis after stroke is discouraged. FDS and gait training improve functional mobility, walking resistance, and quality of li...

Assessment of Walking Speed and Distance Post-Stroke Increases After Providing a Theory-Based Toolkit
CONCLUSIONS: Providing a comprehensive toolkit to hospitals with professional leaders likely contributed to increasing 10mWT and 6MWT administration during inpatient and outpatient stroke rehabilitation.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A390).PMID:35671402 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000406

Revisiting the Concept of Minimal Detectable Change for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures
Phys Ther. 2022 Jun 6:pzac068. doi: 10.1093/ptj/pzac068. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInterpreting change is a requisite component of clinical decision making for physical therapists. Physical therapists often interpret change using minimal detectable change (MDC) values. Current MDC formulas are informed by classical test theory and calculated with group-level error data. This approach assumes that measurement error is the same across a measure's scale and confines the MDC value to the sample characteristics of the study. Alternatively, an item response theory (IRT) approach calculates separate estimates of measurement e...

Recent Advances in the Neural Control of Movements: Lessons for Functional Recovery
Phys Ther Res. 2021 Sep 29;25(1):1-11. doi: 10.1298/ptr.R0018. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTWe review the current views on the control and coordination of movements following the traditions set by Nikolai Bernstein. In particular, we focus on the theory of neural control of effectors - from motor units to individual muscles, to joints, limbs, and to the whole body - with spatial referent coordinates organized into a hierarchy with multiple few-to-many mappings. Further, we discuss synergies ensuring stability of natural human movements within the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis. Synergies are organized within the neural contr...
