Q

Systematic Review - Models to predict functional outcomes after stroke - Relationship with OAI and functional outcome

A

Negatively associated with each other

less time between, or lower the OAI - the better the functional outcome

Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - How does this study differ from the systematic review?

A

1 - Examines pts 3-6 months post stroke (versus at dc from acute hospital)
2 - Experiment with intervention vs. systematic review
3 - Uses similar, but different measures as predictors of treatment gain (measure of brain injury and neural/cortical function)

Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - What is the different between the measures of brain injury and cortical function

A

Brain injury - looked at image acquisition and analysis, infarct volume, gray matter and white matter injury
Cortical function - looked at image acquisition and analysis
With cortical function the image acquisition was taken with T2 weighted and was done while the subjects were visually guided to use the paretic distal UE for a grasp release movement
Also, with cortical function, the image analysis looked at activation versus injury

17
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - What is cortical connectivity

A

Tries to determine the continuity of neural pathways - the correlation between two areas

18
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - With visually guided mvoement we would expect higher correlations between what what

A

Visual cortex and parietal cortex

19
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - With this study what cortical connectivity did they look at

A

Premotor and primary motor areas

They looked at this connection ipsilesionally and contralaterally

20
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - What is the ARAT

A

Action Reach Arm Test

21
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - How did they use the ARAT in this study

A

As an assessment of impairment
Performed with Fugl Meyer once at baseline and again 1-3 wks later to ensure stability of motor status
Also assessed before and 1 month after the 3 week course of robotic therapy

22
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - Greater ipsilesional MI - contralesional MI functional connectivity each significantly predicted

A

larger treatment induced behavioral gains

23
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - 3 categories had at least 1 variable that significantly predicted tx induced bx gains - what was the most significant bivariate predictor of gains?

A

Percentage CST injury determined by lesion overlap

24
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - Main findings

A

Response to restorative therapy after a stroke is best predicted by a model that includes measures of both neural injury and function
Neuroimaging measures were the best predictors

25
Q

Harrison - Assessment scales in stroke - Scale domains move from what to what as the subject progresses

A

impairment to activity/participation as the subject progresses

26
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - Examples of impairment scales

A 
GCS
MRC
NIHSS
MOCA
Days 0-7
27
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - Examples of activity/participation scales

A 
mRS
modified ashworth
ARAT
Anxiety and depression screens
Euro-QOL
Driving assessments
Days 30-120
28
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - Responsiveness of a scale is what

A

the ability to detect meaningful change over time

Especially important for conditions like stroke that have high incidence and prevalence

29
Q

Quinian - Neural function, injury and stroke subtype predict tx gains after stroke - Reliability is what

A

a measure of consistency of scoring

30
