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

The Effect of Low Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Range of Motion Exercise on Paretic Hand Function in Female Patients after Stroke
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a 6-session course of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with range-of-motion (ROM) exercise on paretic hand function after stroke was investigated.

Markerless gait analysis in stroke survivors based on computer vision and deep learning: a pilot study
TL;DR: The results of a pilot study carried out on a clinical gait analysis study-case show there are no statistically significant differences between a set of selected parameters computed with the standard approach and the markerless one.

TL;DR: The study corroborates earlier findings showing an effect of the time after stroke onset (subacute, chronic) on the results of VLSM analyses and suggests the existence of important differences between the functional neuroanatomy underlying motor recovery following left and right hemisphere damage.

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.

Effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function 3 to 9 months after stroke: the EXCITE randomized clinical trial.

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.
