Effectiveness of a Health Education Program to Reduce Recurrence of Stroke by Controlling Modifiable Risk Factors in a Specialized Hospital in Bangladesh: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of a Health Education Program to Reduce Recurrence of Stroke by Controlling Modifiable Risk Factors in a Specialized Hospital in Bangladesh: Randomized Controlled Trial

It is essential to manage modifiable risk factors for reducing stroke recurrence and improving long-term outcomes for survivors of stroke [5]. In Bangladesh, stroke was the top cause of death per 100,000 population for both males and females and all ages in 2019 [6]. In 2022, Bangladesh had a stroke rate of 79.9%, 15.7%, and 4.6%, which was caused by strokes that involved ischemia, hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, respectively, and affected 1,139,000 people [7].

Impact of Telemedicine Adoption on Hemiplegia in Patients With Stroke in Florida: Longitudinal Observational Study

Impact of Telemedicine Adoption on Hemiplegia in Patients With Stroke in Florida: Longitudinal Observational Study

Stroke is a critical acute cerebrovascular condition with high global morbidity and mortality, significantly contributing to long-term disability and health care costs [1]. In the United States, the urgency of stroke care is underscored by the occurrence of a stroke every 40 seconds and a death every 4 minutes, making it a major public health concern [2].

Co-Designed Digital Device for Tracking Rehabilitation Dosage in a Clinical Environment After Stroke: Mixed Methods Validity and Feasibility Study

Co-Designed Digital Device for Tracking Rehabilitation Dosage in a Clinical Environment After Stroke: Mixed Methods Validity and Feasibility Study

Rehabilitation is crucial for regaining functions lost to stroke. The National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke in the United Kingdom and Ireland now recommend at least 3 hours of daily multidisciplinary therapy, a fourfold increase from the previous 45 minutes [1]. Yet, in practice, people often receive a total of 35.6 minutes per day of in patent stay therapy [2,3].

Effect of Early Treatment of Spasticity After Stroke on Motor Recovery: Protocol for the Baclotox Multicenter, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Early Treatment of Spasticity After Stroke on Motor Recovery: Protocol for the Baclotox Multicenter, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy Randomized Controlled Trial

Stroke is the leading cause of acquired motor disability in adults, with 80% of patients experiencing corticospinal tract damage that results in hemiparesis [1,2]. A significant proportion of people who have had a stroke face long-term disability, with many requiring assistance with daily activities, walking, or occupational activities [3].

Research Hotspots and Trends of Virtual Reality Intervention for Stroke: Bibliometric Analysis

Research Hotspots and Trends of Virtual Reality Intervention for Stroke: Bibliometric Analysis

Stroke is a significant contributor to mortality and morbidity globally, ranking as the leading cause of permanent acquired disability [1]. In 2016, there were 80.1 million cases of stroke worldwide, and this figure is likely to increase further in the future due to the growth of the aging population [2]. A significant proportion of patients who have suffered from stroke report a range of impairments to motor, sensory, cognitive, and visual function [3].

Support of Home-Based Structured Walking Training and Prediction of the 6-Minute Walk Test Distance in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Based on Telehealth Data: Prospective Cohort Study

Support of Home-Based Structured Walking Training and Prediction of the 6-Minute Walk Test Distance in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Based on Telehealth Data: Prospective Cohort Study

Telehealth is defined as the delivery of health care or rehabilitation services to patients remotely using digital technologies [14], which, over the last years, has proven to be effective in the field of cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure and stroke [15,16]. Telehealth and telerehabilitation solutions have recently also shown promising results in the field of peripheral arterial disease [17,18].

Moving Standard Deviation of Trunk Acceleration as a Quantification Index for Physical Activities: Validation Study

Moving Standard Deviation of Trunk Acceleration as a Quantification Index for Physical Activities: Validation Study

Numerous studies have established a close association between the number of steps taken and health-related quality of life [6], self-efficacy [7], and the risk of stroke recurrence [8]. Accelerometers are reliable and validated devices that can objectively measure physical activity in patients with stroke [9].

Determining the Prioritization of Behavior Change Techniques for Long-Term Stroke Rehabilitation: Delphi Survey Study

Determining the Prioritization of Behavior Change Techniques for Long-Term Stroke Rehabilitation: Delphi Survey Study

Further, only a small proportion of patients die in the acute stroke phase, leaving the majority with moderate to severe disability that can be mitigated through early and sustained rehabilitation interventions [4]. It is estimated that the number of people living with stroke will increase by 27% in the European Union alone between 2017 and 2047 [5].

Effect of Home-Based Virtual Reality Training on Upper Extremity Recovery in Patients With Stroke: Systematic Review

Effect of Home-Based Virtual Reality Training on Upper Extremity Recovery in Patients With Stroke: Systematic Review

Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide, frequently resulting in upper extremity impairments that significantly limit daily function [1]. Studies have shown that approximately 80% of stroke survivors experience upper extremity dysfunction, severely limiting their ability to perform daily activities independently and affecting their overall health [2].

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel  Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Patients were eligible if they were approaching discharge from either inpatient or outpatient stroke rehabilitation, with the intent that they would participate post discharge. While there was no eligibility criterion regarding the chronicity of stroke, inpatient and outpatient stroke rehabilitation at this facility was generally reserved for patients in the subacute phase after stroke.
