Effect of core stabilization exercises in addition to conventional therapy in improving trunk mobility, function, ambulation and quality of life in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionThis study concluded that core stabilization training is better as compared to the conventional physical therapy treatment for improving trunk impairments, functional ambulation and quality of life among patients of stroke. The core stabilization training is also more effective in improving trunk mobility in sagittal plane. This study is registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials IRCT20210614051578N1 and was approved by the local research ethics committee of Riphah International University.

Assessing the Reliability and Validity of a Physical Therapy Functional Measurement Tool, the Modified Iowa Level of Assistance Scale, in Acute Hospital Inpatients.
CONCLUSIONS: The mILOA has excellent inter-rater reliability, and good known-group validity and responsiveness to functional change across acute hospital inpatients with a variety of diagnoses. It may provide opportunities for physiotherapists to collect a functional outcome measure to demonstrate effectiveness of inpatient therapy and allow for benchmarking across institutions.

Early Mobilization in Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Randomized Trial of Safety and Feasibility in a Public Hospital in Brazil
This report presents the feasibility and safety findings for the pilot phase of this trial. Methods: The primary outcomes were time to first mobilization, total duration of mobilization, complications during early mobilization, falls within 3 months, mortality within 3 months, and medical complications of immobility. We included adult patients with CT- or MRI-confirmed ischemic stroke within 48 h of symptom onset who were admitted from March to November 2012 to the acute vascular unit or general emergency unit of a large urban emergency department (ED) at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. The severity of the neuro...
