“…Additionally, the absence of long-term follow-up to assess the durability of the intervention effects represents a significant gap. This omission leaves unanswered questions regarding the persistence of gains achieved through CCT and ITST, suggesting an avenue for future research to explore the sustainability of rehabilitation outcomes over time (30). The findings of this study align with the broader corpus of stroke rehabilitation research, reinforcing the versatility and effectiveness of both CCT and ITST in promoting recovery.…”

Background: Stroke is a leading contributor to disability globally, emphasizing the need for effective rehabilitation techniques. Circuit class training (CCT) and individual, task-specific training (ITST) have emerged as potential approaches for enhancing upper extremity function in stroke survivors. Comparative analyses of their efficacy, especially among chronic stroke patients, are scant. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the impacts of CCT and ITST on upper extremity spasticity, motor function, and quality of life in individuals with chronic stroke. Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, 36 chronic stroke patients were allocated to either CCT or ITST groups. Participants were aged 45-70 years, had experienced a single stroke episode, and were at least 6 months post-stroke, with specific inclusion criteria regarding spasticity and motor function levels. The interventions were delivered for 1.5 hours daily, five days a week, over eight weeks. Outcomes were measured using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for spasticity, Functional Independence Measure for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) for motor function, and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) scale for quality of life, analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: Post-intervention, both CCT and ITST participants exhibited significant improvements in their outcomes. MAS scores showed a reduction in spasticity, with average improvements not significantly differing between the groups. FMA-UE scores increased by an average of 10 points in both groups, indicating enhanced motor function without a significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). SS-QOL scores improved by an average of 20 points in each group, reflecting better quality of life, with no significant intergroup difference observed. Conclusion: The study concludes that CCT and ITST are equally effective in ameliorating upper extremity spasticity, motor function, and quality of life among chronic stroke patients. The selection between CCT and ITST can thus be personalized based on patient preferences, available resources, and logistical considerations, maintaining rehabilitation efficacy.

“…Among the common sequelae following a stroke, hand movement disorders are frequently observed [4][5][6]. Due to the large cortical area dedicated to hand function, rehabilitation for fine motor skills is more challenging than for gross motor skills [7][8][9][10]. However, the recovery of fine motor skills is crucial for patients to regain independent living ability, and rehabilitation training is widely believed to be effective in improving both upper and lower limb function [11][12][13].…”

This study proposes a method for personalized daily hand exercise training to address the lack of personalization in rehabilitation training and its disconnect from daily life. This research aims to evaluate the impact of Happiness Memory Therapy on patients’ hand function through gamified daily life training. The methodology integrates Happiness Memory Therapy and Positive Mirror Theory to assist in life game design. Patient interviews and empathy are used to gather life experiences, interests, hobbies, and challenges, which are then incorporated into personalized rehabilitation training. The experimental process includes pre- and post-intervention tests to assess changes in subjective well-being (SWLS), happiness (SHS), positive and negative emotions (PANAS), psychological well-being (PWB), and hand function impairment (DASH). The results show that the intervention significantly enhances patients’ subjective well-being, happiness, positive emotions, and reduces negative emotions and hand function impairments. In conclusion, Happiness Memory Therapy and Positive Mirror Theory are effective in developing personalized daily hand exercise training methods and have a significant impact on improving the psychological health and quality of life of stroke patients, offering new ideas and methods for personalized rehabilitation training.

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to neurological complications, including cerebellitis, characterized by inflammation of the cerebellum. Despite its rare occurrence, cerebellitis has been associated with COVID-19 infection, albeit the pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Case report. We present the case of a 22-year-old male with acute onset ataxia and dysarthria during a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Diagnostic evaluations ruled out other causes, confirming cerebellitis. Treatment included steroid therapy, vitamin supplementation, physiotherapy, and intravenous immunoglobulins. Rehabilitation focused on enhancing balance, coordination, and daily activities. The patient showed significant improvement in functional abilities, with increased autonomy in daily activities and improved ambulation. Despite persistent mild symptoms, the multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach led to remarkable progress. Conclusions. This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing neurological complications, such as cerebellitis, in COVID-19 patients. A comprehensive approach combining medical treatment and rehabilitation is essential for optimizing outcomes. Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis and optimal management strategies for such complications.
