Summary: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has shown variable results in the treatment of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease. While milestone studies suggest limited roles for RIC in cardiovascular disease patients, recent large trials found promising results in cerebrovascular disease patients. This article discusses important clinical trials of RIC in cardio-cerebrovascular disease and highlights the challenges of clinical translation. It proposes several promising research directions that should be investigated before RIC can be applied in clinical practice.

Summary: This study aimed to extract independent features from poststroke gait data and found that temporal asymmetry and variability are important factors in early rehabilitation. These characteristics are independent of each other and can guide the assessment and treatment strategy in poststroke gait rehabilitation.

Summary: This study identified latent classes of survivors of chronic stroke using a mixture model and found significant differences in walking ability, psychosocial factors, environment, and cognition among these classes. The results indicated that real-world walking activity in survivors of stroke is influenced by multiple factors including walking ability, self-efficacy, cognitive function, and socioeconomic environment.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of personalized assistance using the SEAExo lower limb exoskeleton on gait performance in stroke survivors. The results showed that personalized assistance significantly improved gait metrics and reduced muscle activities, indicating the potential for enhancing post-stroke gait rehabilitation.

Summary: The study investigated gait characteristics in stroke patients using hip-knee cyclograms, revealing differences in cyclogram parameters between stroke patients and healthy controls, as well as variations based on stroke severity. Specific gait patterns of stroke patients were visualized through cyclograms, highlighting the clinical significance of the inter-joint coordination and visualized gait cycle shown in hip-knee cyclograms.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the reliability and validity of a sensor-based gait analysis system in stroke survivors. The results show that the system has good test-retest reliability and correlates with clinical assessment tools, indicating its applicability in gait rehabilitation for stroke patients.

Summary: Adding inspiratory muscle training to a rehabilitation program can improve inspiratory muscle endurance in individuals post-stroke, but does not significantly further improve inspiratory pressure, walking capacity, activities of daily living, or quality of life compared to rehabilitation alone.

Summary: Using pressure sensors for gait analysis, this study identified that walking speed and lower-limb stance-phase time are correlated with balance and ambulatory functions in hemiplegic stroke patients. These parameters can serve as references for evaluating and improving the ambulatory and balance functions of these patients.

Summary: The study found that virtual reality gait training was not significantly different from non-virtual reality gait training in improving participation in community-living people after stroke. Participants' experiences with VRT were positive, suggesting that VR training could be a valuable addition to stroke rehabilitation.

Summary: Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) is neuroprotective in experimental ischaemic stroke, reducing lesion volume and improving neurological deficit. Studies suggest that an optimal dose for RIC in experimental stroke is between 10 and 45 minutes, with further research needed to determine the best administration methods and timings.
