[PMID: 39019778 PMCID: PMC11255183 DOI: 10.11817/j.issn.1672-7347.2024.240006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The rehabilitation work for patients with motor dysfunction after stroke is crucial. However, there is currently a lack of summarized evidence regarding the rehabilitation management of stroke patients in rehabilitation wards, communities, and at home. This study aims to compile relevant evidence on the rehabilitation management of patients with motor dysfunction after stroke, providing a reference for clinical and community health professionals to carry out rehabilitation interventions. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, National Guidebook Clearinghouse, American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, Canadian Medical Association, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, United States Department of Veterans Affairs/ Department of Defense, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, JBI Evidence-Based Healthcare Center Database, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang Database, SinoMed, and other databases for all literature on the rehabilitation management of patients with motor dysfunction after stroke. This included clinical decision-making, guidelines, expert consensuses, recommended practices, systematic reviews, and evidence summaries, with the search period spanning from the establishment of each database to October 2023. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature. RESULTS A total of twenty-one documents were included, consisting of 11 guidelines, 2 expert consensus, and 8 systematic reviews. Evidence was extracted and integrated from the included literature, summarizing forty-five pieces of evidence across nine areas: rehabilitation management model, rehabilitation institutions, rehabilitation teams, timing of rehabilitation interventions, rehabilitation assessment, rehabilitation programs, rehabilitation duration and frequency, rehabilitation intensity, and rehabilitation support These covered comprehensive rehabilitation management content for stroke patients in the early, subacute, and chronic phases. CONCLUSIONS The best evidence summarized in this study for the rehabilitation management of patients with motor dysfunction after stroke is comprehensive and of high quality. It provides important guidance for clinical and community healthcare professionals in carrying out rehabilitation interventions. When applying the evidence, it is recommended to consider the current condition of the stroke patient, the extent of motor dysfunction, environmental factors, and the patient's preferences. Then, select the most appropriate rehabilitation plan, and adjust the type and intensity of training according to each patient's specific needs and preferences.

Natural Semantic Networks of the Neurorehabilitation Concept by Spanish Physiotherapists-A Qualitative Phenomenological Representational Study. Behav Sci (Basel) 2023; 13:972. [PMID: 38131828 PMCID: PMC10740619 DOI: 10.3390/bs13120972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The Natural Semantic Networks (NSN) model is highly useful in analyzing the words that define a concept in terms of the value, strength, weight, or density that a specific population assigns to the construction of a learned concept. The main objective of this study was to describe the conceptualization of the concept of neurorehabilitation by Spanish physiotherapists specializing in this field using NSN. A phenomenological study is presented. The participants were physiotherapy professionals who graduated from three Spanish universities and were working in the field of neurorehabilitation. A questionnaire was administered via Google Forms, which was constructed using the NSN technique. A total of 191 physiotherapists participated in this study. The Spanish physiotherapists interviewed used a total of 1247 defining words for the concept of neurorehabilitation. The semantic core of the concept was mainly formed by the words 'treatment', 'recovery', 'functionality', 'neuroplasticity', and 'learning', which carried significant weight. Results were also presented taking into account the academic level and years of professional experience of the sample. The semantic network observed in this study allows us to elucidate the polysemy of the concept of neurorehabilitation, which is composed not only of certain associated words but also the meanings they imply.

Synergy-based functional electrical stimulation and robotic-assisted for retraining reach-to-grasp in stroke: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. BMC Neurol 2023; 23:324. [PMID: 37700225 PMCID: PMC10496180 DOI: 10.1186/s12883-023-03369-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke survivors have long-term upper limb impairment, which impacts the quality of life (QOL) and social reintegration, but there is lack of effective therapeutic strategies and novel technologies. Customized multi-muscle functional electrical stimulation (FES) based on the muscle synergy of healthy adults and robotic-assisted therapy (RAT) have been proved efficacy respectively. Synergy-based FES combined with RAT can be a novel and more effective therapy for upper limb recovery of stroke survivors from the perspective of synergistic enhancement. However, few studies have examined the effectiveness of combined synergy-based FES and RAT, especially for motor control evaluated by reach-to-grasp (RTG) movements. The main objective of the following research protocol is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficacy, as well as adoptability, of FES-RAT and FES or RAT rehabilitation program for upper limb function improvement after stroke. METHODS This will be an assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial involving a 12-week intervention and a 6-month follow-up. Stratified randomization will be used to equally and randomly assign 162 stroke patients into the FES + conventional rehabilitation program (CRP) group, RAT + CRP group and FES-RAT + CRP group. Interventions will be provided in 5 sessions per week, with a total of 60 sessions. The primary outcome measurements will include the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Biomechanical Assessment of RTG movements. The secondary outcome measurements will include quality of life and brain neuroplasticity assessments by MRI. Evaluations will be performed at five time points, including at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks from the start of treatment, and 3 months and 6 months following the end of treatment. A two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures will be applied to examine the main effects of the group, the time factor and group-time interaction effects. DISCUSSION The results of the study protocol will provide high quality evidence for integrated synergy-based FES and RAT, and synergy-based FES alone and guide the design of more effective treatment methods for stroke rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Post-stroke spasticity is a significant debilitating condition with negative consequences on individual functional independence and quality of life. This study aimed to identify the differences between transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), ultrasound therapy and paraffin procedures on post-stroke upper extremity spasticity and dexterity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients were enrolled in the study, divided into three therapy groups: TENS (n=9), paraffin (n=10) and ultrasound therapy (n=7). For 10 days, the patients received specific group therapy and conventional physical therapy exercises for upper extremities. Modified Ashworth Scale, Functional Independence Measure, Functional Coefficient, Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale, Activities of Daily Living score and ABILHAND questionnaire were used to assess the participants before and after therapy. RESULTS The results of the group comparisons by analysis of variance showed no significant difference between outcomes by the applied treatments. In contrast, one-way analysis of variance suggested significant improvements in patients in all three groups after therapy. Step-wise regression results on functional independence measure and quality-of-life scales suggested that functional range of motion values for elbow and wrist influence individual independence and quality of life. CONCLUSION TENS, ultrasound, and paraffin therapy bring equal benefits in the management of post-stroke spasticity.
