Summary: This observational study investigated whether lower limb motor-evoked potentials 1 week post-stroke can predict recovery of independent walking at 3 and 6 months post-stroke. The results showed that the presence of lower limb motor-evoked potentials can predict independent walking at 3 and 6 months post-stroke, but clinical factors are more important.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of different dosage frequencies on the performance outcomes of individuals with poststroke speech, language, and cognitive deficits. The results demonstrate that higher dosage frequency is associated with greater therapy gains.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between rehabilitation intensity and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) change in stroke patients. The results showed a positive correlation between rehabilitation intensity and improvement in functional independence, but the incremental benefit diminished after reaching 95 minutes/day. Higher rehabilitation intensity was also associated with improvements in motor and cognitive function, rehabilitation effectiveness, 90-day home time, and discharge to preadmission setting.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exergaming on balance, lower limb functional mobility, and functional independence in individuals with chronic stroke. Results showed that exergaming has favorable effects on these aspects, but most studies lacked sufficient description of bias prevention measures.

Summary: This study found that improvement in sarcopenia is associated with higher Functional Independence Measure (FIM) in stroke patients, and patients who improve from sarcopenia are more likely to be discharged home.

Summary: The purpose of the study is to understand the needs of individuals with acquired brain injury receiving post-acute rehabilitation and disability services, and to improve their outcomes through a whole-population cohort study. The findings indicate significant social and clinical heterogeneity among brain injury patients, with differences observed across various domains among different brain injury groups.

Summary: This review evaluates the effectiveness of overground robotic exoskeleton (RE) training in improving walking ability, speed, and endurance among stroke patients. The results indicate that overground RE training can significantly improve walking ability and speed at postintervention and follow-up. It is recommended to combine overground RE training with conventional rehabilitation and adopt a gait training regime of <4 times per week, >= 6 weeks, and <= 30 minutes per session for chronic stroke patients.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between motivation and rehabilitation outcomes for subacute stroke patients, and examined the changes in motivation during hospitalization. The results showed no significant association between motivation and rehabilitation outcomes, and patients had lower motivation at two and three months after admission.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of early and intense supplemental gait training during inpatient stroke rehabilitation and compare the functional outcomes between different training methods. The results showed that supplemental therapy could be implemented without interrupting schedules and participants achieved meaningful functional improvement in a relatively short time.

Summary: This study integrated survivors of stroke into a standard exercise-based CR program and evaluated the impact through physical function measures and qualitative assessment. Results showed that exercise-based CR could significantly improve cardiovascular endurance, health status, and quality of life for survivors of stroke.

Summary: The study developed robotic upper extremity therapy tasks for subacute stroke patients and found significant improvements in FMA UE, ARAT, FIM, and Visually Guided Reaching scores in the robotic therapy group post-intervention. However, only FIM and Arm Position Match scores improved in the control group over the same time period. The Kinarm therapy tasks show potential for improving outcomes in subacute stroke, but further studies are needed to confirm the benefits in a larger cohort.

Summary: A home-based over-ground robotic-assisted gait training program using the AlterG Bionic Leg orthosis was found to significantly improve clinical functional outcomes and physical activity levels in chronic stroke patients, with these improvements being maintained 22 weeks post-intervention.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the feasibility of comparing balance and aerobic training in individuals with cerebellar degeneration. Results showed that aerobic training led to greater improvements in ataxia severity and maximal oxygen consumption compared to balance training. However, benefits from both training programs tended to return to baseline after training stopped.

Summary: The study compared two approaches of delivering high-intensity, high-dose upper-limb therapy in patients with subacute stroke: neuroanimation therapy and modified conventional occupational therapy. Both high-dose therapy groups showed greater recovery on the Action Research Arm Test but not the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity motor score when compared with the historical cohort.
