BACKGROUND Stroke is the most common disabling neurological condition in adults. Falls and poor mobility are major contributors to stroke-related disability. Falls are more frequent and more likely to result in injury among stroke survivors than among the general older population. Currently there is good evidence that exercise can enhance mobility after stroke, yet ongoing exercise programs for...
Multiple cortical areas of the human brain motor system interact coherently in the low frequency range (<0.1 Hz), even in the absence of explicit tasks. Following stroke, cortical interactions are functionally disturbed. How these interactions are affected and how the functional organization is regained from rehabilitative treatments as people begin to recover motor behaviors has not been syste...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We evaluated the risk factors for death among long-term stroke survivors compared with stroke-free subjects. METHODS In 1997 we investigated 221 stroke survivors (mean, 9.4 years after index stroke) and 243 stroke-free subjects; both groups were recruited from a population-based health study. During the subsequent 5 years, all deaths (51 and 21 in the stroke and stroke-...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is common after stroke and associated with poor outcome. However, the mechanisms underlying poststroke MCI (PS-MCI) are insufficiently understood. We performed amyloid-β positron emission tomography (PET) in a prospective cohort of stroke survivors to determine the role of amyloid pathology in PS-MCI. METHODS We studied 178 consecutive pa...
A fter rehabilitation, most stroke survivors return to the community and continue with their daily lives, despite stroke-related functional, cognitive, and behavioral changes. 1 Caregivers are the primary support system for these survivors after discharge and an integral part of the healthcare team that contributes to survivors' rehabilitation and recovery. 2,3 However, caregiving is stressful,...
BACKGROUND Stroke may have a major effect on survivors and on the healthcare system. AIMS To study the functional status and use of healthcare facilities in long-term survivors of a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor ischaemic stroke (MIS) and evaluate associations with baseline and follow-up characteristics. METHODS Follow-up of patients who had participated in the Dutch TIA Trial o...
BACKGROUND Although stroke is acknowledged as a long-term condition, population estimates of outcomes longer term are lacking. Such estimates would be useful for planning health services and developing research that might ultimately improve outcomes. This burden of disease study provides population-based estimates of outcomes with a focus on disability, cognition, and psychological outcomes up ...
BACKGROUND Black and Hispanic stroke survivors experience higher rates of recurrent stroke than whites. This disparity is partly explained by disproportionately higher rates of uncontrolled hypertension in these populations. Home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPTM) and nurse case management (NCM) have proven efficacy in addressing the multilevel barriers to blood pressure (BP) control and red...
BACKGROUND Stroke is increasingly becoming a challenging public health issue in Africa, and the non-availability of data has limited research output and consequently the response to this burden. This study aimed to estimate the incidence and prevalence of stroke in Africa in 2009 towards improved policy response and management of the disease in the region. METHODS A systematic search of Medli...
The plasma concentrations of protein C, an anticoagulant protein, and fibrinopeptide A were measured in 37 patients with acute hemispheric stroke and in age-matched controls with nonvascular neurologic diseases. In 11 stroke patients who died within 15 days after the onset (nonsurvivors) protein C antigen concentration on admission was lower than in the control group (p less than 0.005), with a...
