Effects of different baggage carrying methods on walking while wearing an arm sling in simulated hemiplegic stroke patients
Conclusion] It was shown that walking with restrictions on the upper limbs, such as wearing an arm sling or carrying baggage, may impose slight restrictions on the lateral tilt as well as on the rotation of the pelvis.PMID:34658510 | PMC:PMC8516598 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.33.707

The Relationship between Strength of the Affected Leg and Walking Speed after Stroke Varies According to the Level of Walking Disability: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: After stroke, there is a strong relationship between strength of the affected leg and walking speed, with little variability across individual muscle groups. However, the level of walking disability of people with stroke does make a difference such that the more disabled people are, the stronger the relationship is between strength of the affected leg and walking speed.IMPACT: This study suggests that the strength of all muscles of the affected leg is important for walking after stroke. It appears that increasing strength in the affected leg could be most important in people that are more disabled.LAY SUMMARY: ...

Depressive Symptoms Moderate the Relationship among Physical Capacity, Balance Self-Efficacy, and Participation in People after Stroke
CONCLUSION: The results suggest the relationship between physical capacity and participation appears to be mediated by balance self-efficacy in individuals after stroke with low reports of depressive symptoms but in those with high reports of depressive symptoms, physical capacity and balance self-efficacy are unrelated to participation.IMPACT: Targeting balance self-efficacy to improve post stroke participation may only be beneficial for individuals with low reports of depression. In individuals after stroke with high reports of depression, treatment should include and emphasize the treatment of those depressive symptoms....

Experiences of Physical Therapists and Professional Leaders with Implementing a Toolkit to Advance Walking Assessment Poststroke: A Realist Evaluation
CONCLUSION: Findings underscore contextual factors and activities essential to eliciting change in assessment practice in stroke rehabilitation across care settings.IMPACT: This study shows that to foster recommended walking assessment practices, an onsite facilitator should be present to enable learning sessions and toolkit use.PMID:34636908 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzab232

Greater Cognitive-Motor Interference in Individuals Post-Stroke During More Complex Motor Tasks
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals post-stroke were susceptible to greater motor interference during the more complex motor task, the TUG-DT. However, the only decrements observed in cognitive performance from the ST to DT occurred in healthy individuals during the 90W-DT.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A367).PMID:34628438 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000379

A Randomized Controlled Study Assessing the Effects of a Shoe Lift Under the Nonparetic Leg on Balance Performance in Individuals With Chronic Stroke
Conclusion: The results indicated that the use of a shoe lift under the nonaffected leg in the context of a balance training program could result in a greater improvement in static standing balance as compared with balance training alone in an individual with chronic stroke. Trial Registration: The study was retrospectively registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20190603043808N1).

Corticospinal Tract Microstructure Predicts Distal Arm Motor Improvements in Chronic Stroke
Conclusions: CST microstructure is a significant predictor of improvement in distal UE motor function in the context of an UE rehabilitation trial in chronic stroke survivors with mild-to-moderate motor impairment.

Development and Results of an Implementation Plan for High-Intensity Gait Training
Conclusions: Using a multicomponent implementation plan that targeted barriers, we successfully implemented high-intensity gait training in clinical practice. Contributors to successful implementation may include the implementation methods, usual care interventions, and clinicians' readiness for this change.

Manual Dexterity Is Associated With Use of the Paretic Upper Extremity in Community-Dwelling Individuals With Stroke
Conclusions: The BBT presents a positive high correlation with paretic UE use at home and was shown to be better able to identify “limited” and “partial” integration of the paretic UE. Both tests can identify when the paretic UE is fully/almost fully integrated into activities at home.

Temporal But Not Spatial Gait Parameters Associated With Lower Balance Capacity in Moderate-High Functioning Persons With Stroke
Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of gait temporal symmetry and variability measures for dynamic balance control after stroke. These parameters should be considered when assessing gait recovery and safety in PwS.

Current Clinical Practices of Saudi Physiotherapists in Stroke Rehabilitation
This article uses an existing American survey to compare Saudi physiotherapists' current practice and preferred interventions in stroke rehabilitation with their counterparts in other countries. Method: An electronic survey was sent between September and October 2020 to physiotherapists (n = 287) treating persons with stroke in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of items related to stroke rehabilitation, including treatment approach, the goal of interventions, management of tone, facilitation of movement, function, and improved motor control. Chi-square tests (χ2) were used to test any associations between p...

The Progress of the Gait Impairment and Brain Activation in a Patient with Post-stroke Hemidystonia
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that there was improvement of the patient's symptoms of post-stroke hemidystonia due to changes in the brain activity during voluntary movement after BWS intervention. Body weight-supported treadmill training may thus be an effective treatment for patients with poststroke hemidystonia.PMID:34532214 | PMC:PMC8419483 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10032

Implementing technology enhanced real-time action observation therapy in persons with chronic stroke: A pilot study
Physiother Theory Pract. 2021 Sep 9:1-12. doi: 10.1080/09593985.2021.1978120. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis pilot study examined a novel technology-enhanced real-time action observation therapy (TERTAOT) of symmetrical bilateral movements in survivors of chronic stroke regardless of their ability to move their paretic limb(s). The TERTAOT used a Kinect XBox One to project mirror images of non-paretic limbs as participants performed symmetrical bilateral motor tasks involving whole-body movements in sitting or standing. The participants received eight weeks of treatment consisting of 30-minutes of conventional physical...
