Exploring factors influencing occupational therapists’ perception of patients’ rehabilitation potential after acquired brain injury
(Wiley, 2016-09-21)
Background/aim
Clinical practice guidelines advocate for early involvement of rehabilitation professionals in screening acquired brain injury patients’ rehabilitation needs and determining the required rehabilitation ...
Lower limb joint moments on the fast belt contribute to a reduction of step length asymmetry over ground after split-belt treadmill training in stroke : a pilot study
(Taylor and Francis, 2018-10-25)
The main goal was to investigate changes in muscle activity and joint moments related to step length (SL) symmetry improvements in individuals poststroke following repeated split-belt treadmill (SBT) walking. Twelve ...
Interventions used by allied health professionals in sexual rehabilitation after stroke : a systematic review
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-12-15)
Background: Although sexuality can be affected post-stroke, few individuals receive sexual rehabilitation because of clinicians’ lack of knowledge regarding evidence-based interventions.
Objective: To document and ...
Assessment methods in sexual rehabilitation after stroke : a scoping review for rehabilitation professionals
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-03-09)
Purpose: The aim was to identify and describe the assessment methods used by rehabilitation professionals to evaluate sexuality for individuals post-stroke, as well as the domains of sexuality addressed.
Methods: Seven ...
Slow and faster post-stroke walkers have a different trunk progression and braking impulse during gait
(Elsevier, 2018-12-26)
Background
Braking forces absorbed by the leading paretic limb are greater than expected with regard to gait speed and not correlated with propulsive forces generated by the non-paretic limb in individuals with severe ...
Clinical reasoning underlying acute care occupational therapists' assessment of rehabilitation potential after stroke or brain injury : a constructivist grounded theory study
(Wiley, 2021-12-22)
Introduction
In acute care hospitals, clinicians are expected to rapidly provide recommendations regarding patients' rehabilitation potential and candidacy for postacute rehabilitation. Some studies have investigated ...
Combining scoping review and concept analysis methodologies to clarify the meaning of rehabilitation potential after acquired brain injury
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-06-18)
Purpose: Clinicians make judgments about patients’ rehabilitation potential because it is considered by
many as a prerequisite for referral to rehabilitation. However, the concept is rarely defined. This research
aimed ...
Risk of cancer following an ischemic stroke in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-03-26)
Background:
Stroke survivors may be at higher risk of incident cancer, although the magnitude and the period at risk remain unclear. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare the risk of cancer in stroke survivors ...
More symmetrical gait after split-belt treadmill walking does not modify dynamic and postural balance in individuals post-stroke
(Elsevier, 2018-04-24)
Spontaneous gait is often asymmetrical in individuals post-stroke, despite their ability to walk more symmetrically on demand. Given the sensorimotor deficits in the paretic limb, this asymmetrical gait may facilitate ...
Priorities and needs regarding sexual rehabilitation for individuals in the subacute phase post-stroke
(Springer, 2020-10-26)
It is recommended that sexuality be addressed at all transition points along the continuum in stroke rehabilitation. However, little is known about needs specific to the subacute phase. (1) Explore priorities and needs of ...
