Article Synopsis
- The paper outlines a study focused on implementing telerehabilitation (TR) for stroke recovery within the NHS in England, addressing a lack of guidance in this area.
- It will gather data through literature reviews and interviews with clinicians and patient-family carer pairs to understand effective TR practices.
- The goal is to develop actionable recommendations through collaboration with various stakeholders to enhance community-based stroke rehabilitation services.
Purpose: Motor evoked potential (MEP) characteristics are potential biomarkers of whether rehabilitation interventions drive motor recovery after stroke. The test-retest reliability of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) measurements in sub-acute stroke remains unclear. This study aims to determine the test-retest reliability of upper limb MEP measures elicited by non-neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation in sub-acute-stroke.

- The study aimed to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of lower limb mirror movement therapy for reducing motor impairment after a stroke.
- Participants performed the therapy daily for 14 days, starting with 15-minute sessions and adjusting based on a dose escalation method.
- The findings indicated that the MTD for this therapy was identified as 35 minutes of daily exercise over two weeks, marking an important benchmark for future rehabilitation practices.
Aging effects on extrapersonal (far-space) attention: cancellation and line bisection performance from 179 healthy adults.

Assessment of cognitive impairments is a vital part of clinical practice. Cancellation (visual search) and line bisection are commonly used tasks to assess visuospatial attention. Despite the fact visuospatial attention is engaged in both near (within reach) and far-space (out of reach), most studies have been conducted in near-space alone.
