More than a black box of rehabilitation: Characterizing therapy programmes following botulinum toxin injections for spasticity in adults with stroke.
CONCLUSION: Ambulatory rehabilitation programmes following botulinum toxin injections for post-stroke spasticity varied depending on limb/s injected and reflected treatment goals to some extent.

Effect of myofeedback on the threshold of the stretch reflex response of post-stroke spastic patients.
Conclusion The myofeedback training provided a significant contribution to conventional treatment, allowing for a better improvement of the spastic condition. Implications for rehabilitation Biofeedback is an effective means of improving motor control of post-stroke spastic patients. The Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold is a more sensitive quantitative measure to assess upper-limb post-stroke spasticity. Spastic patients who participate in myofeedback training along with physical therapy can improve faster then those who participate only in traditional physical therapy rehabilitation protocols.

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on lower extremity spasticity and motor function in stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: Low-frequency rTMS over the LE motor area can improve clinical measures of muscle spasticity and motor function. More studies are needed to clarify the changes underlying this improvement in spasticity. Implications for Rehabilitation Spasticity is a common disorder and one of the causes of long-term disability after stroke. Physical therapy modalities, oral medications, focal intervention and surgical procedures have been used for spasticity reduction. Beneficial effect of the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for post-stroke upper extremity spasticity reduction and motor function improvement...

Effectiveness of neuromuscular taping on painful hemiplegic shoulder: a randomised clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that NMT decreases pain and increases the ROM in subjects with shoulder pain after a stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Painful hemiplegic shoulder is a frequent complication after stroke with negative impacts on functional activities and on quality of life of people, moreover restricts rehabilitation intervention. Neuromuscular taping is a technique introduced by David Blow for the treatment of neuromuscoloskeletal problems. This study shows the reduction of pain and the improvement of range of motion after the application of an upper limb neuromuscular taping. Rehabilitation profes...

Feasibility and efficacy of high-speed gait training with a voluntary driven exoskeleton robot for gait and balance dysfunction in patients with chronic stroke: nonrandomized pilot study with concurrent control
The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the feasibility of high-speed gait training with an exoskeleton robot hybrid assistive limb (HAL) in patients with chronic stroke, and to examine the efficacy of eight sessions (8 weeks) of gait training with a HAL compared with conventional physical therapy. Eighteen patients with chronic stroke were included in this study (nine each in the HAL and control groups). The HAL group underwent high-speed gait training with the HAL once a week for 8 weeks (20 min/session). The control group underwent conventional physical therapy for gait disturbance. Outcome measures were walkin...

Meaningful Functional Change from Physical Therapy Provided in a Student Run Pro-Bono Clinic
The purpose was to determine factors associated with meaningful functional change in patients with chronic stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) during one semester at a student-run, pro-bono, physical therapy (PT) clinic.

Full-movement neuromuscular electrical stimulation improves plantar flexor spasticity and ankle active dorsiflexion in stroke patients: A randomized controlled study.
CONCLUSIONS: Full-movement neuromuscular electrical stimulation with a stimulus intensity capable of generating full movement can significantly reduce plantar flexor spasticity and improve ankle active dorsiflexion, but cannot decrease walking time in the Timed Up and Go Test in sub-acute stroke patients.

Effectiveness of Adaptive Physical Activity combined with Therapeutic Patient Education in stroke survivors at 12 months: a non-randomized parallel group study.
CONCLUSION: APA-TPE is an effective intervention to maintain and improve activities of daily living, reduce falls and recourse to rehabilitation treatments at 12 months.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Structured physical activity programs that can be performed also at home, when combined with therapeutic education focused on benefits of physical activity, will encourage stroke survivors to continue exercising. Therefore, it fulfills an essential requirement to the maintenance of lasting health benefits and the prevention of physical and psychological deterioration.

Peroneal Stimulation for Foot Drop After Stroke: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the effect of daily use of single-channel foot drop stimulation among persons with stroke. Randomized controlled trials were searched using electronic databases through May 2014. Six randomized controlled trials were included, involving 820 participants. Gait speed was the most common outcome measured. Other common outcomes included Timed Up and Go, modified Emory Functional Ambulation Profile, Berg Balance Scale, Physiologic Cost Index, Six-Minute Walk Test, quality-of-life, and lower extremity Fugl-Meyer. In summary, foot drop stimulation and ankle foot ort...

Effects of therapeutic Tai Chi on balance, gait, and quality of life in chronic stroke patients
This study confirmed that therapeutic Tai Chi influences the balance, gait, and life quality of stroke patients. Therefore, therapeutic Tai Chi can be used as an effective exercise in combination with general physical therapy to improve the balance, gait, and quality of life in stroke patients.

Does outcome of neuropsychological treatment in patients with unilateral spatial neglect after stroke affect functional outcome?
CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of the whole rehabilitation resulted affected by the outcome of neuropsychological treatment in patients with USN, being a low score at Barrage test at the beginning of therapy a negative predictor of USN recovery.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Patients with USN after stroke can benefit of a specific training for reducing USN also in terms of functional outcome. Further, the simple use of Barrage test could provide important prognostic information about recovery.
