Journal ArticleDOI
The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery after Stroke: A Critical Review of Its Measurement Properties
TL;DR: Based on the available evidence, the Fugl-Meyer motor scale is recommended highly as a clinical and research tool for evaluating changes in motor impairment following stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait asymmetry in community-ambulating stroke survivors.
Kara K. Patterson,Kara K. Patterson,Kara K. Patterson,Iwona Parafianowicz,Cynthia J. Danells,Valerie Closson,Mary C. Verrier,Mary C. Verrier,W. Richard Staines,W. Richard Staines,W. Richard Staines,Sandra E. Black,Sandra E. Black,William E. McIlroy +13 more
TL;DR: The results of the current study illustrate that temporal asymmetry can be found in many independently ambulating stroke patients and highlights the need for a standard assessment of poststroke gait symmetry in light of the complex relationship with motor impairment and velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association Between Gait Asymmetry and Brain Lesion Location in Stroke Patients
Lisa D. Alexander,Sandra E. Black,Kara K. Patterson,Fuqiang Gao,Cynthia J. Danells,William E. McIlroy +5 more
TL;DR: In this sample of ambulatory chronic stroke patients, damage to the posterolateral putamen was associated with temporal gait asymmetry and further advances in the understanding of the neural correlates of gaitymmetry may provide prognostic markers for future persistent gait dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiotherapy Coupled With Dextroamphetamine for Rehabilitation After Hemiparetic Stroke: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
David J. Gladstone,Cynthia J. Danells,Armi Armesto,William E. McIlroy,W. Richard Staines,Simon J. Graham,Nathan Herrmann,John P. Szalai,Sandra E. Black +8 more
TL;DR: In stroke patients with a severe motor deficit, 10 mg AMPH coupled with physiotherapy twice per week for 5 weeks in the early poststroke period provided no additional benefit in motor or functional recovery compared with physiotherapist alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poststroke “Pushing” Natural History and Relationship to Motor and Functional Recovery
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified pushers from stroke patients with moderate to severe hemiparesis and examined longitudinal changes in symptoms, level of impairment, and functional independence at 3 months.
