High-intensity arm resistance training does not lead to better outcomes than low-intensity resistance training in patients after subacute stroke: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To describe the effects of 2 levels of intensity of arm resistance training on grip strength, arm function, activities, participation, and adverse events in patients with subacute stroke.

Design: A randomized controlled and preregistered trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis.

Patients: Patients with subacute stroke and upper extremity hemiparesis.

Upper limb strength training in subacute stroke patients: study protocol of a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Stroke patients are often affected by arm paresis, have functional impairments and receive help from professional or informal caregivers. Progressive resistance training is a common intervention for functional impairments after paresis. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) showed benefits for functional recovery after resistance training.

Intracranial Pressure: A Comparison of the Noninvasive HeadSense Monitor versus Lumbar Pressure Measurement.

Objective: To compare a new method of noninvasive intracranial pressure (nICP) measurement with conventional lumbar puncture (LP) opening pressure.

Methods: In a prospective multicenter study, patients undergoing LP for diagnostic purposes underwent intracranial pressure measurements with HeadSense, a noninvasive transcranial acoustic device, and indirectly with LP. Noninvasive measurements were conducted with the head in a 30° tilt and in supine position before and after LP.

Neurocognitive functions and brain atrophy after proven neuroborreliosis: a case-control study.

Background: Patients often report neurocognitive difficulties after neuroborreliosis (NB). The frequency and extent of cognitive problems in European patients have been studied incompletely.

Methods: Sixty patients received a neurological and neuropsychological work-up 6 months or longer after treatment for proven NB.

Smooth Pursuit "Bedside" Training Reduces Disability and Unawareness During the Activities of Daily Living in Neglect: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Unlabelled: Background Neglect is associated with disability, unawareness, poor long-term outcome, and dependence from caregivers. No randomized trial has evaluated the effects of smooth pursuit eye movement training (SPT) and visual scanning training (VST) at the bedside on these variables. Objective To compare the effects of SPT and VST in postacute stroke at 1 month with left neglect.
