Summary: This study aims to explore the trends and predictors of community participation in younger adults after stroke in Taiwan. The findings show a positive trend in participation scores from hospital discharge to 1-year follow-up, particularly in social and community domains. However, the improvement is mild and mainly occurs in the first 3 months. Sociodemographic factors, stroke severity, comorbidity, and physical function significantly predict changes in participation scores over time, with physical function being the strongest predictor.

Summary: This study examined the determinants of post-stroke social participation and found that positive thinking coping strategy, perceived satisfaction with the living environment, and fewer perceived activity limitations were associated with higher levels of social participation. On the other hand, seeking social support coping style and a higher number of stroke-related sequelae were associated with lower social participation.

Summary: This study explored the experiences of stroke survivors in the outdoor environment, focusing on themes of vigilance, adaptation strategies, and managing the dynamic relationship between self and context. The findings suggest that investing in interventions in the public outdoor environment could help reduce apprehension and hypervigilance, ultimately improving independence and participation post stroke. Future research should further investigate the impact of environmental interventions on hypervigilance in the outdoor environment for stroke survivors.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the care experiences and service design related to rehabilitation for mobility and community participation among individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI), as perceived by clinicians and patients. Five themes were identified: Enabling continuity of care; System design; Accessibility and services in the community; Transportation services; and Uncertainty about the provided services. The results contributed to developing recommendations for patient-centered rehabilitation services to improve the quality of care by addressing needs during transitions and mobility-related deficits in the community.

Summary: Patient activation increased slightly over the course of stroke rehabilitation up until the 6-month follow-up. However, more than one-third of patients remained at low levels of activation, suggesting that specific interventions during rehabilitation to increase patient activation may be valuable.

Summary: This study compared the effects of two interventions, standard strength and endurance training, and standard plus timing and coordination training, on community mobility in older adults. The results showed that neither intervention significantly improved community mobility, suggesting the need for more comprehensive interventions in the future.

Summary: Personal factors, particularly psychological and psychosocial factors, are positively associated with post-stroke participation. Environmental factors, such as support, relationships, and positive attitudes towards patients, are major facilitators of participation, along with physical environment and accessibility to appropriate services. Most of these factors are modifiable and should be addressed to improve patient participation.

Summary: The NeuroMoves study aims to identify factors associated with changes in mobility after acute inpatient rehabilitation, focusing on participation. It is a national multicenter observational cohort study in Germany, recruiting 500 patients with mobility-restricting paralysis syndromes for an 8-month follow-up in the ambulatory setting. Daily distance covered and participation-oriented rehab interventions will be analyzed to inform healthcare decision-making regarding mobility-promoting interventions for these patients.

Summary: Severe stroke can result in permanent changes in daily life, causing limitations in community mobility and social participation. The use of power wheelchairs (PWC) can enable independent community mobility and reduce these limitations. This participatory study in Berlin, Germany, explored the experiences of people with severe stroke using a PWC for community mobility and the changes they wished to initiate. Through the use of photovoice, stroke survivors captured and analyzed photos of their environment, emphasizing the importance of the PWC for their self-expression and freedom. The desired changes included independent community mobility, increased social esteem, and active involvement in assistive device provision. The voices of severe stroke survivors should be heard more in healthcare and research to promote equal social participation.

Summary: This study examined the role of mobility limitations and vitality in predicting post-stroke pain, finding that standing without losing balance and vitality were significant predictors. The results suggest that restrictions in mobility and low vitality are important factors in the occurrence of post-stroke pain.

Summary: This article addresses the lack of research on disabled individuals' experiences of using powered wheelchairs for everyday journeys in rural areas. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between ideas, objects, mobility, and advocacy in a rural disability geography context. The findings suggest that powered wheelchair journeys in rural contexts can evoke conflicting feelings of belonging, which are influenced by normative identities and ideologies surrounding independence. The study also highlights the role of disability advocacy in empowering individuals who have experienced moments of not belonging during their wheelchair journeys, such as encountering inaccessible infrastructure.

Summary: This study compares the effectiveness of hypnosis training, mindfulness meditation, and active education control in treating chronic pain. The results show that all three interventions provide benefits in improving pain and other related factors. The benefits of hypnosis and mindfulness meditation last longer, while the improvements associated with active education gradually diminish.

Summary: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of an innovative cyclic panel-pull strategy on minimizing limb fluid volume loss in transtibial prosthesis users during ambulation. Results showed that adding panel-pull resulted in increased fluid volume for some participants, while uncoupling the liner from the panels and executing panel-pull led to decreased fluid volume for some participants. Panel-pull may be beneficial for retaining limb fluid volume in transtibial prosthesis users.

Summary: This study examined the incidence and distribution of radiodermatitis in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, with head and neck region showing the highest occurrence followed by breast and pelvis. The average time of the first occurrence of radiodermatitis was about eleven days in all groups. It is recommended to conduct the same evaluation nationwide to establish standardized protocols and recommendations for better management and prevention of radiodermatitis.
