Impact of Trunk Support on Upper Extremity Function in People With Chronic Stroke and Healthy Controls.
CONCLUSIONS: External trunk support improved trunk control in people with chronic stroke; and had a statistically significant effect on UE function in both people with chronic stroke and healthy controls. The findings suggest an association between trunk control and UE when an external trunk support was provided. This supports the hypothesis that the provision of lower trunk and lumbar stabilization from an external support enables an improved ability to use the UE for functional activities.

Facilitating Community-Based Exercise for People With Stroke: Cross-Sectional e-Survey of Physical Therapist Practice and Perceived Needs.
CONCLUSIONS: While a high proportion of PTs provide CBEP education, education is not consistently delivered to the majority of patients post-stroke. Although a CBEP list or brochure would facilitate education regarding existing CBEPs, efforts to implement CBEPs are needed to help overcome the lack of suitable programs.

Accelerometer-Based Monitoring of Upper Limb Movement in Older Adults With Acute and Subacute Stroke
Conclusions: Bilateral accelerometry for monitoring upper limb movements in a real-world setting might be useful to clinicians for objective assessment of affected upper limb use or disuse and function among older adults with hemiparesis from acute or subacute stroke.

Robot-assisted mechanical therapy attenuates stroke-induced limb skeletal muscle injury Research
The efficacy and optimization of poststroke physical therapy paradigms is challenged in part by a lack of objective tools available to researchers for systematic preclinical testing. This work represents a maiden effort to develop a robot-assisted mechanical therapy (RAMT) device to objectively address the significance of mechanical physiotherapy on poststroke outcomes. Wistar rats were subjected to right hemisphere middle-cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. After 24 h, rats were split into control (RAMT–) or RAMT+ groups (30 min daily RAMT over the stroke-affected gastrocnemius) and were followed up to postst...

Aerobic Exercise Prescription in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Web-Based Survey of US Physical Therapists.
CONCLUSIONS: Most US PTs appear to recognize the importance of AEX for persons poststroke, but clinical implementation can be challenging. Future studies and consensus are needed to clarify best practices and to develop implementation interventions to optimize AEX utilization in stroke rehabilitation.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A167).

Cerebrolysin and early neurorehabilitation in patients with acute ischemic stroke: a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study.
Conclusions - Cerebrolysin had a beneficial effect on global neurological status and disability. The beneficial results of this study can be easily applied in the current clinical practice.

Predictors of the Functional Abilities in Individuals with Stroke after Home Physical Therapy Program.
Conclusion: The ability to perform ADL in stroke patients was greatly explained by the ability to maintain positions at the time of discharging from the rehabilitation program at home. Other outcomes contributed in the different manners compared to the time of starting rehabilitation program.

Effect of turning direction on Timed Up and Go test results in stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study found that stroke patients showed differences in the TUG test results based on their turning direction, and less time was required when turning in the direction of the affected side than when turning in the direction of the unaffected side.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Turning direction can affect the results of the TUG test; it should be controlled in the execution of the TUG test in clinical settings.

Aerobic Training in Canadian Stroke Rehabilitation Programs.
CONCLUSIONS: Most stroke rehabilitation programs across Canada include AT. People with severe physical impairment and those with cardiac, metabolic, and hemodynamic comorbidities may be excluded or not appropriately monitored during exercise. More detailed guidelines and training practices are needed to address these challenges.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A233).

Land-based and acquatic trunk exercise program improve trunk control, balance and activities of daily living ability in stroke: a randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the LATE program can help improve trunk control, balance, and activities of daily living in chronic stroke patients and may be used as a practical adjunct to conventional physical therapy.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The LATE program can improve postural control in stroke patients and improve independence in daily activities.

Robot-assisted gait training effectively improved lateropulsion in subacute stroke patients: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: RAGT ameliorated lateropulsion and balance function more effectively than CPT in subacute stroke patients.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Early RAGT may be recommended for patients with lateropulsion after stroke.

Interventions for treating urinary incontinence after stroke in adults.
CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence to guide continence care of adults in the rehabilitative phase after stroke. As few trials tested the same intervention, conclusions are drawn from few, usually small, trials. CIs were wide, making it difficult to ascertain if there were clinically important differences. Only four trials had adequate allocation concealment and many were limited by poor reporting, making it impossible to judge the extent to which they were prone to bias. More appropriately powered, multicentre trials of interventions are required to provide robust evidence for interventions to improve urinary inco...

Belief, Confidence, and Motivation to Use the Paretic Upper Limb in Daily Life Over the First 24 Weeks After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: High levels of belief, confidence, and motivation appear consistent over the first 6 months after stroke. The lack of correlations between psychosocial factors and clinical measures suggests belief, confidence, and motivation may not be vulnerable to functional status early after stroke.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1 available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A283).
