Motor recovery after stroke: A systematic review of the literature
TLDR
A computer-aided search in bibliographic databases was done of longitudinal cohort studies, original prognostic studies, and randomized controlled trials published in the period 1966 to November 2001, which confirmed clinical experience that the initial grade of paresis is the most important predictor for motor recovery.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the quality of prognosis studies in systematic reviews.
TL;DR: A review of reviews to describe methods used to assess the quality of prognosis studies and to describe how well current practices assess potential biases is to develop recommendations to guide future quality appraisal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of the effect of robot-aided therapy on recovery of the hemiparetic arm after stroke.
Grada Berendina Prange,Michiel J. A. Jannink,Catharina G.M. Groothuis-Oudshoorn,Hermanus J. Hermens,Maarten Joost IJzerman +4 more
TL;DR: It is found that robot-aided therapy of the proximal upper limb improves short- and long-term motor control of the paretic shoulder and elbow in subacute and chronic patients; however, it is found no consistent influence on functional abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rehabilitation after Stroke
TL;DR: A 66-year-old man was suddenly unable to speak, follow directions, or move his right arm and leg within 90 minutes and his speech was limited to effortful answers of yes or no.
Journal Article
Understanding the pattern of functional recovery after stroke: facts and theories.
TL;DR: Understanding the impact of task-dependent cortical activation patterns in non-invasive methods requires not only information derived from longitudinal studies pertaining to functional outcomes, but also a better understanding of what is kinematically learned during the acquisition of new skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain–computer interfaces for communication and rehabilitation
TL;DR: The use of BCIs for communication in patients who are paralyzed, particularly those with locked- in syndrome or complete locked-in syndrome as a result of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is considered, and the use ofBCIs for motor rehabilitation after severe stroke and spinal cord injury is discussed.

TL;DR: A 15-item neurologic examination stroke scale for use in acute stroke therapy trials was designed and interrater reliability for the scale was found to be high, and test-retest reliability was also high, suggesting acceptable examination and scale validity.
Journal Article
The post-stroke hemiplegic patient. 1. a method for evaluation of physical performance.
TL;DR: The findings in this study substantiate the validity of ontogenetic principles as applicable to the assessment of motor behaviour in hemiplegic patients, and foocus the importance of early therapeutic measures against contractures.

TL;DR: Without a way of critically appraising the information they receive, clinicians are relatively helpless in deciding what new information to learn and decide how to modify their practice.

TL;DR: A reasonable standard design and conduct of trials will facilitate the interpretation of those with conflicting results and help in making valid combinations of undersized trials.

A Follow-up Study
TL;DR: Despite a small degree of continuous cell loss, corneal grafts have a favorable prognosis for long-term clinical stability and the remaining endothelium has a minimal functional reserve, however, resulting in a high risk of graft decompensation after additional endothelial trauma.
