Conclusions This study, the first evaluation of living guidelines, demonstrates that this approach to stroke guideline development is feasible and acceptable, that these approaches may add value to developers and users, and may increase guideline use. Future evaluations should be embedded along with g...

To address this gap in the evidence base, we have developed a supported self-management intervention (the ‘Living with Aphasia’ intervention) specifically for stroke survivors with aphasia in the first year after stroke. The StarStep study aims to assess the feasibility of implementing and ...
Recent guidelines recommend robot-assisted therapy (RAT) to improve upper limb strength, function and activities of daily living after stroke [4]. A review on control strategies, presented various types of task-difficulty adaptation mechanisms described in scientific literature for robotic neurorehabilitati...
