The muscle shortening maneuver in individuals with stroke: a consideration-of-concept randomized pilot trial
CONCLUSIONS: The MSM seems able to modulate the TSRTs in individuals with stroke. Although with the limitations due to the pilot design, the variation in participants' responses appear to be promising. Many methodological issues have to be clarified and specified conceiving the progression toward a confirmatory trial.PMID:36398746 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2022.2145741

Effects of performing a lateral-reaching exercise while seated on a tilted surface for severe post-stroke pusher behavior: A case series.
Conclusion: The lateral sitting exercise reduced severe PB in all patients; however, sitting balance and trunk performance did not improve in 1 patient. Future studies to examine the adaptability of this task and long-term effects are needed. PMID: 33345722 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Interventions used by allied health professionals in sexual rehabilitation after stroke: A systematic review.
Conclusions: This review highlights promising interventions that could orient future research and improve the access to sexual rehabilitation services for post-stroke, with structured sexual rehabilitation and pelvic floor muscle training being the most strongly supported.

The effect of aquatic physical therapy in patients with stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusion: Aquatic physical therapy may be a valid means for the rehabilitation of people affected by stroke. The integration of this methodological approach with conventional physical therapy should be considered. However, more studies; a larger number of participants; and varying lengths of follow-up times are necessary. PMID: 32340581 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Factors affecting fear of falls in patients with chronic stroke.
Conclusion: The lower extremity Fugl-Meyer score is associated with fear of falls in patients having chronic stroke. PMID: 31847729 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Motor imagery as a complementary technique for functional recovery after stroke: a systematic review.
Conclusions: The use of MI combined with conventional rehabilitation is an effective method for the recovery of functionality after stroke. Due to the great heterogeneity in the scientific literature available, new lines of research are necessary, in order to include well-designed studies of good methodological quality and to establish a consensus regarding the most appropriate protocols.

Is self or caregiver report comparable to Medicare claims indicators of healthcare utilization after stroke?
Conclusion Healthcare utilization after stroke can be reliably assessed from Medicare claims, Stroke participant, or Caregiver report for salient events such as hospitalizations and Emergency Room visits. Self-report and caregiver report appear to be less reliable for identifying use of therapy or home health services. Caution should be used when interpreting disparities based on self-report data alone in these areas. PMID: 30047841 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Excessive sedentary time during in-patient stroke rehabilitation.
Conclusions In this sample of people attending inpatient stroke rehabilitation, institutional structure of rehabilitation rather than patient-related factors contributed to sedentary time. PMID: 29609499 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The improvement in respiratory function by inspiratory muscle training is due to structural muscle changes in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled pilot trial.
CONCLUSION: Inspiratory muscle training was effective in improving respiratory function and inducing structural changes, especially in the affected diaphragm. PMID: 29061084 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Beliefs of rehabilitation professionals towards guided self-rehabilitation contracts for post stroke hemiparesis.
Conclusions The strategy of asking patients to perform exercises alone, in the practice or at home, is still not accepted by a large proportion of physical therapy professionals as compared with students or with physicians. Most therapists still see a <5-h weekly duration of exercise as sufficient after stroke. Few therapists are ready to utilize the persistence of behavior-induced brain plasticity regardless of age or delay after the lesion. PMID: 28956737 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The efficacy of treadmill training on balance dysfunction in individuals with chronic stroke: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: This review recognized moderate evidence in favor of TT interventions in balance and stroke rehabilitation programs. With TT, intensity may be a more critical factor than specificity and may offer additional carryover to recovery parameters of postural control and balance, beyond gait performance. It is recommended that clinicians utilizing TT incorporate objective measures of balance to assess the potential for skill transference and improvements in balance. Higher quality studies and additional research are needed to denote critical parameters by which improvements in balance may be optimized. PMID: 286...

The effect of a whole-body vibration therapy on the sitting balance of subacute stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that WBV therapy led to improvement of the recovery in balance recovery for subacute stroke patients. Because the WBV therapy was as effective as conventional physical therapy, we can consider a WBV therapy as a clinical method to improve the sitting balance of subacute stoke patients.

Effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on upper extremity motor recovery in the early period after stroke: a preliminary study.
CONCLUSION: LF-rTMS with or without NMES seems to facilitate the motor recovery in the paretic hand of patients with acute/subacute ischemic stroke. TMS or the combination of TMS + NMES may be a promising additional therapy in upper limb motor training. Further studies with larger numbers of patients are needed to establish their effectiveness in upper limb motor rehabilitation of stroke. PMID: 28327054 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
