TLDR
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.Abstract:
Loss of functional movement is a common consequence of stroke for which a wide range of interventions has been developed. In this Review, we aimed to provide an overview of the available evidence on interventions for motor recovery after stroke through the evaluation of systematic reviews, supplemented by recent randomised controlled trials. Most trials were small and had some design limitations. Improvements in recovery of arm function were seen for constraint-induced movement therapy, electromyographic biofeedback, mental practice with motor imagery, and robotics. Improvements in transfer ability or balance were seen with repetitive task training, biofeedback, and training with a moving platform. Physical fitness training, high-intensity therapy (usually physiotherapy), and repetitive task training improved walking speed. 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.read more

Game Engines and Exergames to Guide Rehabilitation at Home
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how integrating computational intelligence inside a game engine, full gamification of rehabilitation sessions can be achieved, by integrating a computational intelligence engine inside the game engine and allowing patients to exercise in the comfort of their own home while playing simple games.

Intensive In-Bed Sensorimotor Rehabilitation of Early Subacute Stroke Survivors With Severe Hemiplegia Using a Wearable Robot
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility and effectiveness of early in-bed sensorimotor rehabilitation on acute stroke survivors with severe hemiplegia using a wearable ankle robot was investigated, and the results showed that the robot-guided rehabilitation can significantly improve motor recovery for stroke survivors.

Mental Practice Combined With Physical Practice to Enhance Upper Extremity Functional Ability Poststroke: A Systematic Review:
TL;DR: This review found that combining physical practice and mental practice has beneficial effects in improving the upper extremity functional ability poststroke and this improvement can extend for 3 months after the treatment intervention.

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
TL;DR: The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has been revised to recognize that the concept of disability resides largely in the sociocultural domain of the authors' lives rather than being an attribute of the individual.

TL;DR: The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial as mentioned in this paper showed that a 2-week program of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for patients more than 1 year after stroke who maintain some hand and wrist movement can improve upper extremity function that persists for at least 1 year.

TL;DR: Extensive restraint of an unaffected upper extremity and practice of functional movements with the impaired limb proved to be an effective means of restoring substantial motor function in stroke patients with chronic motor impairment identified by the inclusion criteria of this project.
Effect of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity Function 3 to 9 Months After Stroke
TL;DR: The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial as discussed by the authors was designed to compare the effects of a 2-week multisite program of CIMT vs usual andcustomary care.
