TLDR
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.

Guidelines for Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery: A Guideline for Healthcare Professionals from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: This guideline provides a synopsis of best clinical practices in the rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke to reduce the risk of downstream medical morbidity resulting from immobility, depression, loss of autonomy, and reduced functional independence.
Journal ArticleDOI

What is the evidence for physical therapy poststroke? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: There is strong evidence for PT interventions favoring intensive high repetitive task-oriented and task-specific training in all phases poststroke, and suggestions for prioritizing PT stroke research are given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virtual reality for stroke rehabilitation

TL;DR: Evidence that the use of virtual reality and interactive video gaming was not more beneficial than conventional therapy approaches in improving upper limb function is found and the evidence remains mostly low quality when rated using the GRADE system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain–machine interface in chronic stroke rehabilitation: A controlled study

TL;DR: Evaluated efficacy of daily brain–machine interface (BMI) training to increase the hypothesized beneficial effects of physiotherapy alone in patients with severe paresis in a double‐blind sham‐controlled design proof of concept study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interventions for improving upper limb function after stroke

TL;DR: A Cochrane overview of systematic reviews of interventions provided to improve upper limb function after stroke found moderate-quality evidence showed a beneficial effect of constraint-induced movement therapy, mental practice, mirror therapy, interventions for sensory impairment, virtual reality and a relatively high dose of repetitive task practice, suggesting that these may be effective interventions.

Developing and evaluating complex interventions: The new Medical Research Council guidance

TL;DR: The Medical Research Council's evaluation framework (2000) brought welcome clarity to the task and now the council has updated its guidance.

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

Plasticity during stroke recovery: from synapse to behaviour.

TL;DR: Evidence from animal models suggests that a time-limited window of neuroplasticity opens following a stroke, during which the greatest gains in recovery occur, and how to optimally engage and modify surviving neuronal networks is studied.
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.
