Upper Limb Outcome Measures Used in Stroke Rehabilitation Studies: A Systematic Literature Review
Leire Santisteban,Maxime Térémetz,Jean-Pierre Bleton,Jean-Claude Baron,Marc A. Maier,Marc A. Maier,Påvel G. Lindberg,Påvel G. Lindberg +7 more
TL;DR: The results showed a large diversity of outcome measures used across studies, and illustrated the need for strategies to build international consensus on appropriate outcome measures for upper limb function after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous decoding of movement intention of upper limb self-initiated analytic movements from pre-movement EEG correlates.
TL;DR: How it is possible to build continuous decoders to detect movement intention from EEG correlates for seven different upper-limb analytic movements is shown and differences in accuracies among movements might have an impact on the design of the rehabilitation technologies that will integrate this new type of information.
Journal ArticleDOI
The proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation-concept; the state of the evidence, a narrative review
TL;DR: A substantial body of research supports the use of PNF as a comprehensive rehabilitation concept in clinical practice in a variety of populations and indications; however, efficacy for specific indications and populations requires further investigation.

Upper Extremity Interventions
Tracy Huynh,Carlos Mena-Hurtado +1 more
TL;DR: Br Brachiocephalic/innominate and subclavian artery lesions account for the majority of upper extremity endovascular procedures with atherosclerotic occlusive disease as the principle etiology.

Combined brain and peripheral nerve stimulation in chronic stroke patients with moderate to severe motor impairment
Isabella S. Menezes,Leonardo G. Cohen,Eduardo A. Mello,Andre G. Machado,Andre G. Machado,Paul Hunter Peckham,Sarah Monteiro dos Anjos,Sarah Monteiro dos Anjos,Inara Laurindo Siqueira,Juliana Conti,Ela B. Plow,Ela B. Plow,Adriana Bastos Conforto +12 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the combination of RPSS and tDCS would enhance the effects of FES on active range of movement (ROM) of the paretic wrist to a greater extent than R PSS alone, tDCS alone or sham RpsS + tDCS.

The impact of physical therapy on functional outcomes after stroke: what's the evidence?
R.P.S. van Peppen,Gert Kwakkel,Sharon Wood-Dauphinee,H. J. M. Hendriks,Ph J. Van der Wees,Joost Dekker +5 more
TL;DR: Based on high-quality RCTs strong evidence was found in favour of task-oriented exercise training to restore balance and gait, and for strengthening the lower paretic limb in stroke patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensity of leg and arm training after primary middle-cerebral-artery stroke: a randomised trial
TL;DR: Greater intensity of leg rehabilitation improves functional recovery and health-related functional status, whereas greater intensity of arm rehabilitation results in small improvements in dexterity, providing further evidence that exercise therapy primarily induces treatment effects on the abilities at which training is specifically aimed.

Forced Use of the Upper Extremity in Chronic Stroke Patients: Results From a Single-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial
J.H. van der Lee,Robert C. Wagenaar,Gustaaf J. Lankhorst,T W Vogelaar,Walter Devillé,Lex M. Bouter +5 more
TL;DR: A small but lasting effect of forced use therapy on the dexterity of the affected arm (ARA) and a temporary clinically relevant effect on the amount of use of theaffected arm during activities of daily living (MAL amount ofUse) are shown.

A review of the properties and limitations of the Ashworth and modified Ashworth Scales as measures of spasticity
Anand Pandyan,Garth R. Johnson,Christopher Price,Richard Curless,Michael P. Barnes,Helen Rodgers +5 more
TL;DR: The application of both scales would suggest that confusion exists on their characteristics and limitations as measures of spasticity, and there is a need to standardize methods to apply these scales in clinical practice and research.
