Objective: To quantitatively describe therapists' use of coaching with stroke survivors, in a hospital-based rehabilitation setting, to promote perseverance with longer-term practice.
Design: Prospective observational behavioural mapping study.
Setting: Rehabilitation unit of a regional public hospital in Queensland, Australia.
Main Measures: A custom-designed behavioural mapping tool was used to collect rehabilitation session contextual data and therapists' use of coaching. Data were captured in 3-minute epochs for a maximum of 30 minutes. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics.
Results: Thirty-six rehabilitation sessions, including 34 participants (therapists = 22, stroke survivors = 12) were observed. Rehabilitation sessions were mostly inpatient ( = 33, 91.7%), one-on-one ( = 30, 83.3%), and conducted in the physiotherapy ( = 160, 45.5%) or occupational therapy ( = 155, 44.0%) gym. Strategies to promote perseverance were used in 76.7% ( = 267) of observed epochs. The most frequently used strategy was and the least frequently used strategy was
Conclusion: Coaching that may promote perseverance with practice was regularly used by therapists during hospital-based rehabilitation sessions. Coaching that may enable longer-term perseverance beyond a therapist-dependent rehabilitation model was less commonly observed.

Combined 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and physical activity on mortality in US stroke survivors: findings from the NHANES.
Nutr J
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, 155 Hanzhong Road, Nanjing, 210029, China.
Background: 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and physical activity (PA) are linked and both are associated with changes in mortality. We examined the association of 25(OH)D and PA with all-cause or cause-specific mortality risk in stroke survivors.
Methods: The analysis included 677 stroke survivors from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2008 to 2017-2018.
Caregiver Psychosocial Factors & Stroke Survivor Cognitive Outcomes: A REGARDS-CARES Cohort Study.
Int J Geriatr Psychiatry
January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
Objectives: Caring for an individual with cognitive impairment carries a physical, mental, and emotional toll. This manuscript examines the relationship between caregiver psychosocial measures and longitudinal cognitive outcomes of stroke survivors, as well as analyzing the psychosocial factors as moderators of stroke severity and cognition.
Methods: This analysis was conducted on caregiver and stroke survivor dyads (n = 157) that participated in the Caring for Adults Recovering from the Effects of Stroke (CARES) project, an ancillary study of the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) national cohort study.
Effects of Assisted Walking Exercise in Chronic Dependent Ambulatory Stroke Survivors: A Mini-Review.
Adv Geriatr Med Res
November 2024
Department of Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Science, and Athletic Training, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS 66160, United States.
Background: Assisted walking exercise programs are widely recommended in rehabilitation guidelines for stroke survivors. However, most evidence supporting these programs primarily focuses on ambulatory stroke survivors or those dependent ambulatory in acute and subacute stages. There is a notable gap in the application of walking exercise programs for chronic dependent ambulatory stroke survivors despite potential benefits in reducing sedentary behavior and improving rehabilitation outcomes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Reading impairments, a common consequence of stroke-induced aphasia, significantly hinder life participation, affecting both functional and leisure activities. Traditional post-stroke rehabilitation strategies often show limited generalization beyond trained materials, underscoring the need for novel interventions targeting the underlying neural mechanisms.
Method: This study investigates the feasibility and potential effectiveness of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback (NFB) intervention for reading deficits associated with stroke and aphasia.
Cardiovascular Disease With Hormone Therapy and Ovarian Suppression in Premenopausal Breast Cancer Survivors.
JACC CardioOncol
December 2024
Division of Epidemiology and Community Health, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Hormone therapies, including aromatase inhibitors and tamoxifen, are used with ovarian suppression to improve outcomes in premenopausal patients with breast cancer. Cardiovascular impacts of these treatments among premenopausal women are unknown.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the use of aromatase inhibitors in combination with ovarian suppression, relative to tamoxifen, is associated with greater incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in premenopausal breast cancer survivors.
