Background. Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Stroke survivors seldom improve their upper-limb function when their deficit is severe, despite recently developed therapies. Purpose. This study aims to assess the efficacy of functional electrical stimulation therapy in improving voluntary reaching and grasping after severe hemiplegia. Method. A post hoc analysis of a previously completed randomized control trial ( clinicaltrials.gov , No. NCT00221078) was carried out involving 21 participants with severe upper-limb hemiplegia (i.e., Fugl-Meyer Assessment–Upper Extremity [FMA-UE] ≤ 15) resulting from stroke. Findings. Functional Independence Measure Self-Care subscores increased 22.8 (±6.7) points in the intervention group and 9 (±6.5) in the control group, following 40 hr of equal-intensity therapy. FMA-UE score changes were 27.2 (±13.5) and 5.3 (±11.0) for the intervention and control groups, respectively. Implications. The results may represent the largest upper-limb function improvements in any stroke population to date, especially in those with severe upper-limb deficit.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of motor relearning program along with electrical stimulation for improving upper limb function in patients with sub-acute stroke. Methods: A quasi experimental study was conducted at Physiotherapy Department of SAIDU Group of Teaching Hospitals Swat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from January to June 2019. Forty four subjects with post stroke duration of 3-9 months (sub-acute) participated in the study. Subjects received electrical stimulations for the effected arm for 15 minutes along with motor relearning programme for an hour five days a week for six weeks. The upper limb sub scales of motor assessment scale were used to collect pre and post treatment data. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. Results: The mean age of the participants was 54.95±13.2 years. Out of 44 participants 31(70.5%) were male and 13 (29.5%) were female. Pretreatment upper arm function, hand movement and advance hand activities scores were 1.36±0.49, 1.18±0.39 and 1.04±0.21 respectively while their post treatment scores were 5.18±0.96, 4.77±1.02 and 3.95±1.21 respectively. There was significant differences (P<0.05) between pre and post treatment scores of upper arm function, hand movement and advance hand activities. Conclusion: Motor relearning program along with electrical stimulation significantly improves upper limb function in patients with sub-acute stroke. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.7.2351 How to cite this:Ullah I, Arsh A, Zahir A, Jan S.

AbstractStroke is a common disabling disease severely affecting the daily life of the patients. There is evidence that rehabilitation therapy can improve the movement function. However, there are no clear guidelines that identify specific, effective rehabilitation therapy schemes, and the development of new rehabilitation techniques has been fairly slow. One informatics translational approach, called ABC model in Literature-based Discovery, was used to mine an existing rehabilitation candidate which is most likely to be repositioned for stroke. As in the classic ABC model originated from Don Swanson, we built the internal links of stroke (A), assessment scales (B), rehabilitation therapies (C) in PubMed relating to upper limb function measurements for stroke patients. In the first step, with E-utility we retrieved both stroke related assessment scales and rehabilitation therapies records, and complied two datasets called Stroke_Scales and Stroke_Therapies, respectively. In the next step, we crawled all rehabilitation therapies co-occurred with the Stroke_Theapies, named as All_Therapies. Therapies that were already included in Stroke_Therapies were deleted from All_Therapies, so that the remaining therapies were the potential rehabilitation therapies, which could be repositioned for stroke after subsequent filtration by manual check. We identified the top ranked repositioning rehabilitation therapy following by subsequent clinical validation. Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT) ranked the first in our repositioning rehabilitation therapies list, with the most interaction links with Stroke_Scales. HABIT showed a significant improvement in clinical scores on assessment scales of Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Action Research Arm Test in the clinical validation on upper limb function for acute stroke patients. Based on the ABC model and clinical validation of the results, we put forward that HABIT as a promising rehabilitation therapy for stroke, which shows that the ABC model is an effective text mining approach for rehabilitation therapy repositioning. The results seem to be promoted in clinical knowledge discovery.Author SummaryIn the present study, we proposed a text mining approach to mining terms related to disease, rehabilitation therapy, and assessment scale from literature, with a subsequent ABC inference analysis to identify relationships of these terms across publications. The clinical validation demonstrated that our approach can be used to identify potential repositioning rehabilitation therapy strategies for stroke. Specifically, we identified a promising rehabilitation method called HABIT previously used in pediatric congenital hemiplegia. A subsequent clinical trial confirmed this as a highly promising rehabilitation therapy for stroke.
