Abstract
Introduction Assessment of stroke recovery should include multiple sources of information in order to obtain a complete understanding of the individual's rehabilitation progress. Self-evaluation questionnaires' scores do not always correspond to the scores of commonly used clinical evaluation tools. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between self-evaluation questionnaires, clinical tests, and kinematic and kinetic analyses of the affected upper limb after stroke, and to determine the correlation between these measures and self-reported general function 2-4 years after the stroke. Methods Twenty-six subjects recovering from stroke were included in the study. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to measure the correlation between Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), Motor activity Log (MAL), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Action Reach Arm Test (ARAT) scores, and kinematic and kinetic analyses. A logistic regression was used to assess the extent to which these measures may predict the participants' functional self-reported status 2-4 years post stroke. Results Sections regarding hand function, hand force and general ADL of the self-evaluation questionnaires correlated with kinematic variables. However, only questionnaires that focus on hand function correlated with clinical tests. Mean and maximal hand velocity had the strongest correlations with self-evaluation questionnaires and with the clinical tests, more than other kinematic variables. Self-evaluation questionnaires and clinical tests were found to be correlated with hand kinetic metrics force-to-time ratio and number of force peaks. SIS hand force domain, mean velocity and maximal velocity predicted self-reported general function 2-4 years after the stroke. Conclusion Self-evaluation questionnaires should be considered for wider use in the clinical evaluation of a patient's stroke recovery, since they add important information on the individual's functional status, which is not reflected in the clinical tests.

Abstract
The use of robotic systems in physical rehabilitation protocols has become increasingly attractive and has been given more focus in the last decade as a result of the high prevalence of motor deficits in the population, which is linked to an overburdened healthcare system. In accordance with current trends, three robotic devices have been designed, called ParReEx Elbow, ParReEx Wrist, and ASPIRE, which were designed to improve upper-limb medical recovery (shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist). The three automated systems were tested in a hospital setting with 23 patients (12 men and 11 women) suffering from motor deficits caused by various neurological diseases such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The patients were divided into three groups based on their pathology (vascular, extrapyramidal, and neuromuscular). Objective clinical measures, such as the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale, goniometry, and dynamometry, were used to compare pre- and post-rehabilitation assessments for both robotic-aided and manual physical rehabilitation therapy. The results of these tests showed that, with the exception of a few minor differences in muscular strength recovery, the robotic-assisted rehabilitation methods performed equally as well as the manual techniques, though only minor improvements were validated during short-term rehabilitation. The greatest achievements were obtained in the goniometric analysis where some rehabilitation amplitudes increased by over 40% in the vascular group, but the same analysis returned regressions in the neuromuscular group. The MRC scale analysis returned no significant differences, with most regressions occurring in the neuromuscular group. The dynamometric analysis mostly returned improvements, but the highest value evolution was 19.07%, which also in the vascular group. While the results were encouraging, more research is needed with a larger sample size and a longer study period in order to provide more information regarding the efficacy of both rehabilitation methods in neurological illnesses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High repetitions of task practice is required for the recovery of the motor function during constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). This can be achieved into ways: when the task practice is measured in hours of practice or when the number of repetitions is counted. However, it has been argued that using hours of task practice as a measure of practice does not provide a clear instruction on the dose of practice. AIM The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility and effects of the CIMT protocol that uses the number of repetitions of task practice. MATERIALS/METHOD The study was a systematic review registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020142140). Five databases, PubMED, CENTRAL, PEDro, OTSeeker and Web of Science, were searched. Studies of any designs in adults with stroke were included if they used the number of repetitions of task practice as a measure of dose. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using Modified McMaster critical review form. The results were analysed using qualitative synthesis. RESULTS Eight studies (n = 205) were included in the study. The number of task repetitions in the studies ranges between 45 and 1280 per day. The results showed that CIMT protocol using the number of repetitions of task practice was feasible and improved outcomes such as motor function, quality of life, functional mobility and spasticity. CONCLUSION The number of repetitions of task practice as a measure of CIMT dose can be used in place of the existing protocol that uses the number of hours of task practice.

Abstract
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is used for the rehabilitation of motor function after stroke. The aim of this review was to investigate its effect on persons-reported outcomes of health status (PROsHS) compared with conventional therapy. The study was a systematic review and meta-analysis registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019142279). Five databases PubMED, PEDro, OTSeeker, CENTRAL and Web of Science were searched. Randomized controlled trials were included if they assessed PROsHS. Mean scores of PROsHS, sample size and dose of CIMT and control groups interventions were extracted. The result was analyzed using qualitative and quantitative syntheses. Nine studies (n = 558) were included in the review. From the result, CIMT significantly improved PROsHS postintervention. However, postintervention, there was no statistically significant difference between groups for the upper limb [Mean difference (MD) = 6.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) = -2.09 to 15.44, P = 0.14] and the lower limb (MD = -1.86, 95% CI = -16.29 to 12.57, P = 0.80). Similarly, there was no statistically significant percentage of variation across studies, upper limb (I2 = 0%, P = 0.92) and lower limb (I2 = 0%, P = 0.86). For the lower limb at follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference between groups (MD = 0.97, 95% CI = -13.59 to 15.53, P = 0.90). When upper and lower limbs studies were pooled, there was no statistically significant difference between groups postintervention (MD = 0.22, 95% CI = -0.15 to 0.58, P = 0.24) and at follow-up (MD = 0.03, 95% CI = -0.43 to 0.49, P = 0.90). CIMT improves PROsHS after stroke. However, it is not superior to conventional therapy based on the current literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this project was to determine the effects of lower extremity aerobic exercise coupled with upper extremity repetitive task practice (RTP) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and depressive symptomology in individuals with chronic stroke. DESIGN Secondary analysis of data from 2 randomized controlled trials. SETTING Research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Individuals (N=40) with chronic stroke. INTERVENTIONS Participants received one of the following interventions: forced exercise+RTP (FE+RTP, n=16), voluntary exercise+RTP (VE+RTP, n=16), or stroke education+RTP (EDU+RTP, n=8). All groups completed 24 sessions, each session lasting 90 minutes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) were used to assess depressive symptomology and HRQOL. RESULTS There were no significant group-by-time interactions for any of the SIS domains or composite scores. Examining the individual groups following the intervention, those in the FE+RTP and VE+RTP groups demonstrated significant improvements in the following SIS domains: strength, mobility, hand function, activities of daily living, and the physical composite. In addition, the FE+RTP group demonstrated significant improvements in memory, cognitive composite, and percent recovery from stroke. The HRQOL did not change in the EDU+RTP group. Although CES-D scores improved predominantly for those in the FE+RTP group, these improvements were not statistically significant. Overall, results were maintained at the 4-week follow-up. CONCLUSION Aerobic exercise, regardless of mode, preceding motor task practice may improve HRQOL in patients with stroke. The potential of aerobic exercise to improve cardiorespiratory endurance, motor outcomes, and HRQOL poststroke justifies its use to augment traditional task practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Facial palsy is known to have correlations with low level of quality of life. However, little is known about the association between preference based health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and paralytic side of facial palsy. METHODS This study used Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES, 2008-2012) data, only when the facial palsy examination had been included in the survey contents. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to obtain optimal regression coefficients in the association between paralytic side of the facial palsy and HRQoL measured by EuroQoL-5 Dimension (EQ-5D). We also analyzed the association between the deteriorated domains of EQ-5D and facial palsy in both subgroups by using multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS We included the data of 28,106 participants aged ≥19 years who were examined as facial palsy according to House-Brackmann score and completed EQ-5D questionnaire in KNHANES 2008-2012. The mean EQ-5D score was significantly low and percentages of deteriorated numbers in its domains were significantly high in facial palsy group. CONCLUSIONS These results show that, after adjusting for confounding variables, left facial palsy is associated with impaired HRQoL compared with right-sided palsy. Among the domains of EQ-5D, only 'self-care' domain was directly affected by the disease in left facial palsy patients. These findings could be used in developing model and conducting analyses of economic evaluation about facial palsy interventions.
