Journal ArticleDOI

Motor recovery after stroke: a systematic review

TL;DR: Although the existing evidence is limited by poor trial designs, some treatments do show promise for improving motor recovery, particularly those that have focused on high-intensity and repetitive task-specific practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stroke Care 2: Stroke rehabilitation

TL;DR: There is evidence to support rehabilitation in well coordinated multidisciplinary stroke units or through provision of early supported provision of discharge teams and promising interventions that could be beneficial to improve aspects of gait include fitness training, high-intensity therapy, and repetitive-task training.
Reference EntryDOI

Organised inpatient (stroke unit) care for stroke

TL;DR: Outcomes were independent of patient age, sex or stroke severity, but appeared to be better in stroke units based in a discrete ward, and there was no indication that organised stroke unit care resulted in a longer hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global and regional effects of potentially modifiable risk factors associated with acute stroke in 32 countries (INTERSTROKE): a case-control study

TL;DR: The importance of potentially modifiable risk factors for stroke in different regions of the world, and in key populations and primary pathological subtypes of stroke, was quantified.
