Objectives: This study aimed to assess the methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) associated with the management of poststroke sensory loss and develop an algorithm for health professionals.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review for relevant CPGs published between 2017 and 2022 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Checklist. Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II instrument was used to assess methodological quality. Recommendations for managing poststroke sensory loss from high and average-quality CPGs were summarised and developed into an algorithm.
Results: First, 1458 records were identified from the database searches and other sources. Finally, four CPGs were included: three were rated as high quality and one as average quality. Twenty-two recommendations were summarised from these CPGs and used to develop a draft algorithm. Then, we revised the draft algorithm developed by the authors based on expert feedback to form the final version.
Conclusions: The four CPGs included in this study had good quality. Based on these CPGs, we developed an algorithm to facilitate health professionals' adherence to CPGs and contribute to evidence-based medicine. In the future, more high-quality CPGs are required to give further scientific and convincing evidence to manage poststroke sensory loss.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) during pinprick stimulation has the potential to unveil neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor impairments post-stroke. A proof-of-concept study explored event-related peak pinprick amplitude and oscillatory responses in healthy controls and in people with acute and subuacute motor and sensorimotor stroke, their relationship, and to what extent EEG somatosensory responses can predict sensorimotor impairment. In this study, 26 individuals participated, 10 people with an acute and early subacute sensorimotor stroke, 6 people with an acute and early subacute motor stroke, and 10 age-matched controls.

Introduction: Motor-imagery-based Brain-Machine Interface (MI-BMI) has been established as an effective treatment for post-stroke hemiplegia. However, the need for long-term intervention can represent a significant burden on patients. Here, we demonstrate that motor imagery (MI) instructions for BMI training, when supplemented with somatosensory stimulation in addition to conventional verbal instructions, can help enhance MI capabilities of healthy participants.

In post-stroke persons, temporal gait asymmetry (TGA) during comfortable gait involves a combination of pure impairments and compensatory strategies. In this study, we aimed to differentiate between pure impairments and compensatory strategies underlying TGA in post-stroke individuals and identify associated clinical factors. We examined 39 post-stroke individuals who participated in comfortable walking speed (CWS) and rhythmic auditory cueing (RAC).

Background: Painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) is a prevalent and challenging complication following a stroke and can significantly impair a patient's engagement in rehabilitation, leading to poorer functional outcomes and extended hospital stays. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, etiology, and management of PHS in stroke inpatients, focusing on the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of subacute stroke inpatients who developed PHS during rehabilitation at a single center.

Sensory feedback is crucial for motor control as it establishes the internal representation of motion. This study investigates changes in sensory feedback in hemiparetic stroke by analyzing the laterality index (LI) of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) during movements of the paretic arm, focusing on a shift from the lesioned to the contralesional hemisphere. Three chronic stroke participants performed isometric lifts of their paretic arms at two different levels of their maximum voluntary contraction while receiving tactile finger stimulation.
