Test-retest reliability and convergent and discriminant validity of the proprioceptive measures in poststroke patients

To investigate the test–retest reliability and validity of the threshold to detect passive motion (TDPM) and Joint Position Sense (JPS) tests using an image-capture technique compared with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Erasmus MC modifications to the Nottingham Sensory Assessment (EmNSA) for evaluating proprioceptive impairment in poststroke patients.

Association between Trajectories of Activity-level Recovery and Fall Risk: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Older Stroke Patients in a Subacute Rehabilitation Setting

Falls are common and serious adverse events in subacute rehabilitation which represent a major safety challenge among older patients.1-6 that are associated with adverse outcomes, including poor functional recovery, prolonged length of stay, and institutionalization.7 Stroke patients in subacute rehabilitation are encouraged to increase activity.8 which may paradoxically elevate fall risk during recovery (fall rates: 5.5–7.3‰).3-4 Prior studies suggest that fall risk may be highest among patients at intermediate activity-levels during recovery.

Estimation of Endurance During Elbow Flexion with Myoelectric Orthotic Assistance

The current study evaluated the powered myoelectric elbow orthosis’ (PMEO) impact on fatigue resistance and maximum endurance time (MET) of the gracilis muscle used in FFMT for elbow reconstruction. The PMEO was developed to support elbow flexion by mechanically locking the joint in place, reducing muscular demand during sustained tasks.

Factors Associated with Differences in the Recommended versus Actual Discharge Location After Stroke

Discharge planning during an acute stroke hospitalization requires a coordinated effort to ensure patients receive the most appropriate post-hospital care. We identified and described discrepancies in recommended versus actual post-discharge care after stroke.

Psychosocial Predictors of Spinal Cord Injury Pain: The Canadian Spinal Cord Injury Pain Survey

In Canada, more than 85,000 individuals are estimated to be living with spinal cord injury (SCI), with approximately 4,300 new injuries occurring annually.1 Complex and difficult to treat, SCI pain is often experienced as a combination of nociceptive and neuropathic pain2, 3 interfering with daily functioning and quality of life in over two-thirds of this population.4, 5
