Background And Purpose: Enhancing afferent information from the paretic limb can improve post-stroke motor recovery. However, uncertainties exist regarding varied sensory peripheral neuromodulation protocols and their specific impacts. This study outlines the use of repetitive peripheral sensory stimulation (RPSS) and repetitive magnetic stimulation (rPMS) in individuals with stroke.

Article Synopsis
- Robotic devices have been shown to enhance motor function in stroke patients, but their effects on perceptual deficits, specifically unilateral spatial neglect (USN), are not well understood.
- This review analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs to assess the impact of robotic limb activation on USN outcomes in stroke patients.
- Results indicated that robotic limb activation improved midline perception, but there were no significant changes in visual scanning or daily functioning tasks.
Background: Early mobilization is defined as out-of-bed activities in acute stroke phase, and has led to improvements in functional capacity and reduction of complications after stroke.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of early mobilization in the acute stroke phase.
Methods: This was a systematic review.
