Existing clinical assessments of balance and functional mobility have poor predictive accuracy for prospectively identifying post-stroke fallers, which may be due to a lack of ecological complexity that is typical of community-based fall incidents.

Utility of an obstacle-crossing test to classify future fallers and non-fallers at hospital discharge after stroke: A pilot study.

Dual-task paradigms, in which an individual performs tasks separately and then concurrently, often demonstrate that people with neurodegenerative disorders experience more dual-task interference, defined as worse performance in the dual-task condition compared to the single-task condition.

Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a neuropathic disorder resulting in pain and disability. An emerging treatment for CPSP is non-invasive brain stimulation including direct current stimulation [tDCS] and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS]. This systematic review analyzes the efficacy and quality of non-invasive brain stimulation intervention studies for CPSP.

Effects of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation on Clinical Pain Intensity and Experimental Pain Sensitivity Among Individuals with Central Post-Stroke Pain: A Systematic Review.

Integrating tDCS into routine inpatient rehabilitation practice to boost post-stroke recovery.

The purpose of this study was to compare Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students' perceptions of service-learning between domestic and international service-learning experiences (SLEs).

Doctor of Physical Therapy Student Perceptions of Domestic Versus International Service-Learning Experiences: A Mixed-Methods Approach.

Stroke survivors continue to face chronic disability and limited access to early, continuous, and long-term rehabilitation. This pilot study examined the impact of a 6-day, intensive, short-term, task-specific rehabilitation program (ISTRP) on outcomes post-stroke as part of a service-learning experience (SLE) for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students. Participants (n=19) post-stroke completed a 6-day, student-led ISTRP. Outcome measures were used to assess balance, functional gait, upper extremity motor impairment, and self-reported recovery. Significant differences from pre- to post-intervention were found for all outcome measures (p<0.05) except for the Stroke-Impact Scale-16. This pilot study addresses a gap in literature and suggests an ISTRP should be further explored while integrating other allied health disciplines.

Participant Outcomes of a Student-Run, Intensive, Short-Term, Task-Specific Rehabilitation Program for Individuals Post-Stroke.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that causes physical and cognitive impairment due to hemolysis, painful vaso-occlusion episodes, joint avascular necrosis, and strokes. As individuals with SCD age and develop conditions impacting their physical and cognitive function, their ability to multitask successfully and safely may decline. Cognitive-motor dual-task interference occurs when there is deterioration in one or both tasks while dual-tasking relative to single-tasking. Dual-task assessment (DTA) is a valuable measure of physical and cognitive function; however, there is limited data on DTA in adults with SCD.

Cognitive-motor dual-task interference in adults with sickle cell disease.

We aimed to determine the maximum safe spatial-peak pulse-average intensity (I) of low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) in stroke patients and explore its effect on motor learning and corticospinal excitability.
