Functional Independence and Disability Evaluation in Stroke Patients: Optimal Cutoff Scores for a Pictorial-Based Longshi Scale, Barthel Index, and Modified Rankin Scale

Xiangxiang Liu et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify the optimal cut-off scores of LS and BI according to the mRS in Chinese stroke patients with different levels of functional disability. Results showed that mRS is more precise to determine mild functional disability, whereas BI provides more specific information on moderate and severe levels in stroke patients.

Functional electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve improves post-stroke gait speed when combined with physiotherapy. A systematic review and meta-analysis

Maira Jaqueline da Cunha et al.

Summary: FES has limited impact on gait speed for patients with foot drop, but shows better improvement when combined with supervised exercises. It is effective in enhancing ankle dorsiflexion, balance, and functional mobility, although with some uncertainties in the results due to high heterogeneity.

Combining transcranial direct current stimulation with aerobic exercise to optimize cortical priming in stroke

Anjali Sivaramakrishnan et al.

Summary: The combination of aerobic exercise and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has a significant effect on corticomotor excitability (CME) in stroke survivors for the lower limb. However, no additional priming effects were observed when exercise and tDCS were combined compared to tDCS alone.

Summary: Aquatic therapy has significant effects on stroke rehabilitation, improving walking, balance, emotional status, and health-related quality of life. Compared with land-based interventions, aquatic therapy is more effective in balance, walking, and health-related quality of life, but similar in independence in activities of daily living.

Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Valery L. Feigin et al.

Summary: Regularly updated data on stroke including incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, and trends are crucial for evidence-based care planning. The Global Burden of Diseases Study provides comprehensive measurement of these metrics. From 1990 to 2019, while age-standardized rates improved, the number of strokes and deaths increased. Low-income countries had the highest stroke-related mortality and DALY rates, with high body-mass index being the fastest-growing risk factor.

Global Epidemiology of Stroke and Access to Acute Ischemic Stroke Interventions

Vasu Saini et al.

Summary: This review provides an up-to-date overview of stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO) globally, as well as the eligibility and access to IV thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) worldwide. Despite advances in treatment eligibility in the past 5 years, access to acute stroke care and utilization of MT or IVT remains low, highlighting a significant gap among eligible patients. Multiple global initiatives are currently in progress to improve systems of care and bridge this gap.

Virtual reality for limb motor function, balance, gait, cognition and daily function of stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Bohan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that VR interventions can effectively improve upper- and lower-limb motor function, balance, gait, and daily function of stroke patients, but do not provide benefits for cognition. The duration of VR intervention was also found to impact certain health benefits. Further research through large-scale multicentre randomized controlled trials is needed to investigate the impact of VR on cognitive function.

Summary: This study investigated the reliability and validity of the modified Barthel Index as an evaluation tool of activities of daily living in ischemic stroke patients using Rasch analysis. The index showed high reliability but a relatively poor matching degree between item difficulty and patient ability, indicating a need for further improvement to accurately reflect daily living activities in these patients.

Data Safety and Monitoring Boards Should Be Required for Both Early- and Late-Phase Clinical Trials

Gail A. Van Norman

Summary: Phase I and II clinical trials are integrating therapeutic and toxicity endpoints more, with some therapeutic agents gaining FDA approval based on early phase trials alone. It is suggested that independent monitoring by DSMB is necessary for phase III studies and possibly extended to many phase I and II clinical trials. Minimum qualifications for DSMB service should be established and standardized.
