Five-repetition sit-to-Stand test among patients post-stroke and healthy-matched controls: the use of different chair types and number of trials.
Conclusion: The 5STSt scores were affected by the physical characteristics of the chair, and an adjusted chair should be used. The APTA recommendation for one trial of the 5STSt is supported by the present results. PMID: 31884844 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Perceived barriers and facilitators for gait-related participation in people after stroke: From a patients' perspective.
Conclusion: People after stroke who were physically able to walk independently still described multiple barriers to gait-related participation in all components of the ICF framework. PMID: 31793365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Rehabilitation for a complex patient following cerebellar hemorrhage and obstructive hydrocephalus: A case report.
Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Inpatient rehabilitation facilities play an integral role in patient progress post-stroke. Cerebellar hemorrhages are an infrequent type of stroke and are therefore less discussed in the literature; however, inpatient rehabilitation continues to be an integral part of patient recovery. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the physical therapy interventions, challenges, and successes for a complex patient with a large cerebellar hemorrhage with obstructive hydrocephalus. CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient is a 32-year-old male admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facilit...

Sport simulation as a form of implicit motor training in a geriatric athlete after stroke: a case report.
DISCUSSION: Implicit motor learning techniques were incorporated through sport and job task simulation activities along with task-oriented neuromuscular reeducation. The patient demonstrated improvements with gait, balance, gross motor function, and decreased fall risk. PMID: 29939811 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of Botulinum Toxin Type A for equinovarus deformity in patients with CVA: A case series.
CONCLUSION: Although BTX-A injections improved spasticity, this improvement did not translate to gait outcomes. Addition of physical therapy interventions appeared to improve gait outcomes in this case series. We suggest future randomized control studies to compare effects of physical therapy alone to BTX-A combined with physical therapy on gait outcomes. PMID: 28481738 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Deep flexion activity training in a patient with stroke using task-oriented exercise: a case report.
Discussion: The task-oriented deep flexion activity intervention was associated with positive changes in functional activity and social participation in a patient recovering from stroke. PMID: 24188030 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Multimodal physical therapy management of a 48-year-old female with post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome.
Abstract Abstract This case report describes a 48-year-old female who presented with complaints of right shoulder pain, hyperesthesias and swelling of the hand along with added symptoms of pain centralization following a cerebrovascular accident. On clinical evaluation, the patient satisfied the Budapest diagnostic criteria for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type-1. Physical therapy management (1st three sessions) was initially focused on pain neurophysiology education with an aim to reduce kinesiophobia and reconceptualise her pain perception. The patient had an immediate significant improvement in her pai...
