Raring to go: Second chances and a roadmap to recovery
Passionate and pioneering, Associate Professor Coralie English is focused on helping stroke survivors to regain their ability to walk and staying healthy in the long term.
There's a lot to be said for small things making a big difference. Associate Professor Coralie English's research in the health sciences arena is no exception – a single, literal step for one stroke patient equals a 'giant leap forward' for collective rehabilitation and brain recovery efforts across the country.
"My work is divided into two streams," the energetic academic shares.
"I develop and test models of physiotherapy service provision and examine the impact of sedentary behaviours on people's wellbeing after stroke."
"The latter is intertwined with a lack of activity, particularly in hospital settings, and a need to practise tasks regularly to get better at walking and everyday jobs."
Realising that exercise is "especially important" for long-term survivorship, Coralie is similarly determined to create "better, detailed and nuanced guidelines" for those who can't do what is currently recommended.
"We're all supposed to exercise for 30 minutes 5 times a week, but most of us don't," she clarifies.
"Achieving this is even harder if you have a disability or suffer from fatigue and depression, which are common conditions after stroke."
"I want to figure out how much physical activity is necessary to see some health benefits."
"Will we see improvements if patients sit a bit less and move a little more often?"
The more the merrier
Coralie's research career began in 2000, when she undertook a PhD at the University of South Australia. Though previously enjoying "making a difference" by "helping people get back on their feet" as a physiotherapist working in local rehabilitation centres, she soon found that life as a clinical physiotherapist raised more questions than it satisfactorily answered.
"Standard practice back then was to have a single, one-on-one physiotherapy session each day," she explains.
"But I often wondered whether having physiotherapy offered in groups would be more beneficial for stroke survivors."
"So I decided to compare the two delivery methods."
An innovative initiative, Coralie's study eventually became pilot data for a multi-centre randomised control trial. Completed in 2014, the larger project sought to determine the pros – if any – of conducting therapy sessions individually, in groups and on weekends.
"Our feeling was that providing a little bit extra on weekends might not be as effective as providing a lot more therapy, but in groups such as circuit classes, throughout the working week," she recalls.
"We were able to dramatically increase the amount of time patients spent with a physio when therapy was provided in group circuit classes."
"It didn't matter in terms of their degree of recovery of walking, however."
"This is partially because they didn't spend extra time practising walking or being on their feet outside of these sessions."
Coming in with one question and spawning "a million" others, Coralie confesses she didn't quite get the answer she was hoping for.
"We still don't know what factors drive how much activity people are able to do in hospital," she acknowledges.
"But it's vital we identify and address them."
Use it or lose it
Coralie stayed on at the University of South Australia after receiving her doctorate in 2006, opting to renew her academic appointment and build creative collaborations with the influential Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Melbourne. A master at multitasking, the stroke recovery researcher also took on a Postdoctoral Training Fellowship with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in 2010.
Under the guidance of one of her greatest mentors, Professor Julie Bernhardt, her postdoctoral work focused on understanding sedentary behavior of stroke survivors.
"We did a big systematic review, an observational study and a randomised control trial to see whether we could encourage stroke survivors to "sit less and move more," Coralie asserts.
Changing scenery, changing lives
"Ready to move" and work with different people almost a decade later, Coralie joined the University of Newcastle in July 2015. The Associate Professor is newly and contentedly affiliated with some of the Hunter's most accomplished, internationally renowned minds in stroke recovery research.
"The region also boasts an NHMRC Centre for Research Excellence in Stroke Rehabilitation and Brain Recovery, held in conjunction with the Florey Institute in Melbourne," she comments.
"It's great to be here!"
Hitting the ground running, Coralie is already preparing for a number of exciting research ventures. The biggest, and perhaps most impressive, will see the prolific publisher lead a laboratory-based study on sedentary behaviour in stroke survivors in early 2016. Funded by a National Stroke Foundation Seeding Grant, the ambitious trial will seek to break up prolonged sitting times and encourage small but significant increases in light physical activity.
"Participants will come in and sit for six hours straight," she explains.
"We'll measure their blood pressure every hour and take regular blood samples to investigate reductions in cardiovascular risk markers."
"Then they'll come back again and do the same thing, only this time they'll get up and go for a short walk every half an hour for 3 minutes."
"The final visit will involve the participants doing some simple standing manoeuvres, such as squats and knee lifts every half an hour."
Replicating similar works conducted by the prestigious Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, Coralie is simultaneously looking to shift the focus onto wider disease prevention and treatment.
"Researchers there have already shown that even short bursts of exercise can have huge benefits where glucose and insulin metabolism and cognitive function are concerned," she reveals.
"We're expecting the results to be even greater for our group as they're starting off at a worse health status than those who were used in the original experiment."
Hoping to use data collected to "leverage" larger amounts of financial support in the months and years to come, Coralie admits it "would be really good" to expand the project to look at different types of activity breaks for different types of stroke survivors.
"It's definitely a goal of mine," she affirms.
"I'd like to eventually be able to say that if you can't walk independently, if you can at least stand up x amount every x minutes, you will be healthier and reduce your risk of having another stroke."
An educator dedicated to honing her craft, Coralie is also working with a University Postdoctoral Fellow on developing a national longitudinal study of recovery of walking after stroke.
"There's very little contemporary information and Australian-specific information about this," she discloses.
"So we're aiming to engage clinicians from around the country and collect a core dataset."
Harnessing collective energy
Extending her network even further, Coralie is simultaneously developing several national and international collaborations. What began as informal meetings at a coffee shop during a stroke conference in 2014 has since rapidly evolved into an ACTIOnS group, for example, with the social scholar and 16 others joining forces to harmonise outcome measures and refine research strategies in stroke recovery.
"I'm part of a subgroup of the World Stroke Organisation too," she declares.
"I love finding the best people to work with to answer a given question."
Raring to go: Second chances and a roadmap to recovery
Associate Professor Coralie English is passionate about improving the health and well-being of stroke survivors through physical activity.
Career Summary
Biography
One in six Australians will have a stroke in their lifetime, and a third of these people will be left with persistent disability. A/Prof Coralie English is passionate about improving the health and well-being of stroke survivors through physical activity. Her research program focuses on the role of exercise, physical activity and task-specific intensive training in stroke recovery and long-term survivorship.
Career summary
A/Prof English completed her undergraduate training as a Physiotherapist at the University of South Australia, and she worked as a clinician, predominately in the area of stroke and spinal cord injury rehabilitation for many years before commencing her academic career. She was awarded a PhD in 2006 from the University of South Australia, and worked as an academic and research fellow there between 2006 and 2015 (part-time while raising a young family). During this time, A/Prof English also held a NHMRC Postdoctoral Training Fellowship (2010-2014) through the Stroke Division, Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Melbourne (while remaining based in Adelaide). She continues to hold an ongoing Senior Research Fellow honorary position with the Florey.
In July 2015, A/Prof English joined the University of Newcastle and in 2017 she was awarded a Heart Foundation Future Leaders Fellowship. She now leads a team of researchers within the Priority Research Centre for Stroke and Brain Injury, Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) and teaches into the Physiotherapy Program at the University of Newcastle. She holds an appointment as a Senior Research Affiliate within the NHMRC Centre for Research Excellence in Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery. This exciting partnership is a joint collaboration between HMRI and the Florey and brings together Australia’s leading stroke rehabilitation and recovery researchers to drive excellence and build capacity in this space.
Two initiatives best highlight A/Prof English's commitment to stroke recovery research locally and internationally. Soon after her arrival in Newcastle, A/Prof English worked to establish the Stroke Research Register, Hunter. Responding to a need for greater recruitment to clinical trials and stronger consumer engagement and involvement in research activities, the Register went live in October 2016 and has continued to grow with >500 stroke survivor and carer members. Its success as a consumer engagement platform is highlighted by the highly successful Spotlight on Stroke event in 2018. On the international stage, A/Prof English was an invited member of the first Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Research Roundtable (2016) which produced 5 consensus statements that have been downloaded >24,000 times. A second series of Roundtables were held in 2018 and she continues to work in a leadership role within the newly formed overarching organisation the International Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Alliance which will continue to set the international agenda for excellence and impact in stroke recovery research.

Purpose: Repetitive task practice after stroke is important to improve function, yet adherence to exercise is low. The aim of this study was to determine whether using the internet, a tablet application, and a chair sensor that connected to a therapist was feasible in monitoring adherence and progressing a functional exercise at home. Methods: Ten participants with stroke completed a 4-week sit-to-stand exercise using the technology at home (ACTRN12616000051448). A therapist remotely monitored exercise adherence, progressed goals, and provided feedback via the app. Measures of feasibility (design, recruitment/withdrawals, adherence, safety, participant satisfaction and estimates of effect on function) were collected. Results: Participants' mean age was 73.6 years [SD 9.9 years]. The system was feasible to deliver and monitor exercise remotely. All participants completed the study performing a mean 125% of prescribed sessions and 104% of prescribed repetitions. Participants rated the system usability (78%), enjoyment (70%) and system benefit (80%) as high. No adverse events were reported. The mean pre- and post-intervention difference in the total short performance physical battery score was 1.4 (95% CI 0.79, 2.00). Conclusions: It was feasible and safe to prescribe and monitor exercises using an app and sensor-based system. A definitive trial will determine whether such technology could facilitate greater exercise participation after stroke.

[more] © 2020 Associação Brasileira de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Fisioterapia Objectives: Sedentary behaviour research is a relatively new field, much of which has emerged since the widespread acceptance of clinical trial registration. The aim of this study was to investigate the trial registration and related issues in studies investigating the effect of frequent activity interruptions to prolonged sitting-time. Methods: Secondary analysis of a scoping review including systematic searches of databases and trial registries. We included experimental studies investigating the effects of frequent activity interruptions to prolonged sitting-time. Results: We identified 32 trials published in 45 papers. Only 16 (50%) trials were registered, with all 16 trials being completed and published. Of the unregistered trials, we identified three (19%) for which similarities in the sample size and participant demographics across papers was suggestive of duplicate publication. Identification of potential duplicate publications was difficult for the remaining 13 (81%). Results from 53 (76%) of the 70 registered outcomes were published, but 11 (69%) registered trials reported results from additional outcomes not prospectively registered. A total of 46 different outcomes (out of 53 reported outcome measures, similar measures were collated) were reported across all trials, 31 (67%) of which were collected in =2 trials. Conclusions: We found direct evidence of trial registration issues in experimental trials of breaking up sitting-time. The lack of prospective registration of all trials, and the large number of outcomes measured per trial are key considerations for future research in this field. These issues are unlikely to be confined to the field of sedentary behaviour research.

Purpose: To explore the factors influencing adherence to home-based exercises among community-dwelling stroke survivors using Intervention Mapping (IM) approach. Material and methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with ten stroke survivors living in semi-urban regions of India. The data were analysed using Atlas.Ti8 software and categorised using the Social Ecological Model. Results: The mean age of the stroke participants was 61 ± 11¿years. Key factors such as lack of awareness about stroke recovery and exercises, poor perceived recovery, hopelessness and lack of emphasis on exercises by healthcare professionals led to non-adherence while commitment, continued supervision, supportive family and society facilitated adherence. Some cultural specific factors such as opting for folk medicine over rehabilitation and social stigma were also identified. Conclusions: The factors which influenced adherence to home-based exercises in stroke are existent at the individual, interpersonal, organisational and community level. This study can lead to the development of effective interventions for promoting exercise adherence among stroke survivors in low and middle income countries (LMICs).

Exercise after stroke improves cardiorespiratory fitness and walking capacity; however, the effect of altering exercise dose (via frequency, intensity, time, and type) on fitness or walking capacity is unclear. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the current evidence for the effects of different doses of exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness and walking capacity in people after stroke. Data Sources. Seven relevant electronic databases were searched using keywords relating to stroke and cardiorespiratory fitness. Study Selection. Trials that compared more than 1 dose of exercise for people (? 18 years old) after stroke and measured peak oxygen consumption or 6-minute walk test distance as an outcome were included. Two reviewers independently appraised all trials. Data Extraction. Two reviewers independently extracted data from included articles. Intervention variables were extracted in accordance with the Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist. Data Synthesis. Data were synthesized narratively. Nine trials involving 279 participants were included. Three of 5 trials comparing exercise intensity showed that higherintensity training was associated with greater improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness. The effects of other exercise dose components (frequency, time, and type) on fitness were not determined. Overall, walking capacity improved as program length increased. Limitations. All trials had a high risk of bias, and most had a high rate of attrition. Most trials included people more than 6 months after stroke and who walked independently, limiting the generalizability of the findings. Conclusions. Exercising at an intensity greater than 70% of heart rate reserve can be more effective in increasing cardiorespiratory fitness after stroke than exercising at lower intensities. More trials that compare exercise doses by manipulating only 1 dose parameter at a time for people after stroke are needed.

All rights reserved. Background: Accessing suitable fitness programs post-stroke is difficult for many. The feasibility of telehealth delivery has not been previously reported. Objectives: To assess the feasibility of, and level of satisfaction with home-based telehealth-supervised aerobic exercise training post-stroke. Methods: Twenty-one ambulant participants (= 3 months post-stroke) participated in a home-based telehealth-supervised aerobic exercise program (3 d/week, moderate-vigorous intensity, 8-weeks) and provided feedback via questionnaire post-intervention. Session details, technical issues, and adverse events were also recorded. Results: Feasibility was high (83% of volunteers met telehealth eligibility criteria, 85% of sessions were conducted by telehealth, and 95% of participants rated usability favourably). Ninety-five percent enjoyed telehealth exercise sessions and would recommend them to others. The preferred telehealth exercise program parameters were: frequency 3 d/week, duration 20-30 min/session, program length 6-12 weeks. Conclusion: The telehealth delivery of exercise sessions to people after stroke appears feasible and may be considered as a viable alternative delivery means for providing supervised exercise post-stroke.

Published with license by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Background: High levels of sedentary time increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, including recurrent stroke. Objective: This study aimed to identify factors associated with high sedentary time in community-dwelling people with stroke. Methods: For this data pooling study, authors of published and ongoing trials that collected sedentary time data, using the activPAL monitor, in community-dwelling people with stroke were invited to contribute their raw data. The data was reprocessed, algorithms were created to identify sleep-wake time and determine the percentage of waking hours spent sedentary. We explored demographic and stroke-related factors associated with total sedentary time and time in uninterrupted sedentary bouts using unique, both univariable and multivariable, regression analyses. Results: The 274 included participants were from Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and spent, on average, 69% (SD 12.4) of their waking hours sedentary. Of the demographic and stroke-related factors, slower walking speeds were significantly and independently associated with a higher percentage of waking hours spent sedentary (p = 0.001) and uninterrupted sedentary bouts of >30 and >60 min (p = 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). Regression models explained 11¿19% of the variance in total sedentary time and time in prolonged sedentary bouts. Conclusion: We found that variability in sedentary time of people with stroke was largely unaccounted for by demographic and stroke-related variables. Behavioral and environmental factors are likely to play an important role in sedentary behavior after stroke. Further work is required to develop and test effective interventions to address sedentary behavior after stroke.

Stroke events reported during the study (between baseline assessment in 1999-2000 and April 2011) were confirmed using adjudication based on medical records. Baseline data on minutes per week spent watching television were used as the exposure variable. Other variables were collected in assessments at wave 2 (2004-05) and wave 3 (2011-2012). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Among the full Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle study population (n = 11,247), there were 153 participants with confirmed stroke during the study period, and 9207 participants with no stroke in this period. Participants who went on to have their first stroke during the study had significantly higher levels of TV viewing time at baseline than those who did not have a stroke (P =.001). This association was not present (P =.83), however, when age and sex were included in the regression model. Conclusion: In the Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle study dataset, there was no evidence that more TV viewing is independently associated with risk of stroke, although analyses may have been underpowered.

Objective: The prevalence of post-stroke fatigue differs widely across studies, and reasons for such divergence are unclear. We aimed to collate individual data on post-stroke fatigue from multiple studies to facilitate high-powered meta-analysis, thus increasing our understanding of this complex phenomenon. Methods: We conducted an Individual Participant Data (IPD) meta-analysis on post-stroke fatigue and its associated factors. The starting point was our 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis of post-stroke fatigue prevalence, which included 24 studies that used the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Study authors were asked to provide anonymised raw data on the following pre-identified variables: (i) FSS score, (ii) age, (iii) sex, (iv) time post-stroke, (v) depressive symptoms, (vi) stroke severity, (vii) disability, and (viii) stroke type. Linear regression analyses with FSS total score as the dependent variable, clustered by study, were conducted. Results: We obtained data from 14 of the 24 studies, and 12 datasets were suitable for IPD meta-analysis (total n = 2102). Higher levels of fatigue were independently associated with female sex (coeff. = 2.13, 95% CI 0.44¿3.82, p = 0.023), depressive symptoms (coeff. = 7.90, 95% CI 1.76¿14.04, p = 0.021), longer time since stroke (coeff. = 10.38, 95% CI 4.35¿16.41, p = 0.007) and greater disability (coeff. = 4.16, 95% CI 1.52¿6.81, p = 0.010). While there was no linear association between fatigue and age, a cubic relationship was identified (p < 0.001), with fatigue peaks in mid-life and the oldest old. Conclusion: Use of IPD meta-analysis gave us the power to identify novel factors associated with fatigue, such as longer time since stroke, as well as a non-linear relationship with age.

Background: Stroke survivors sit for long periods each day. Uninterrupted sitting is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Breaking up uninterrupted sitting with frequent, short bouts of light-intensity physical activity has an immediate positive effect on blood pressure and plasma clotting factors in healthy, overweight, and type 2 diabetic populations. Aim: We examined the effect of frequent, short bouts of light-intensity physical activity on blood pressure and plasma fibrinogen in stroke survivors. Methods: Prespecified secondary analyses from a three-armed randomized, within-participant, crossover trial. Participants were 19 stroke survivors (nine female, aged 68 years old, 90% able to walk independently). The experimental conditions were sitting for 8 h uninterrupted, sitting with 3 min bouts of light-intensity exercise while standing every 30 min, or sitting with 3 min of walking every 30 min. Blood pressure was measured every 30 min over 8 h and plasma fibrinogen at the beginning, middle, and end of each day. Intention-to-treat analyses were performed using linear mixed models including fixed effects for condition, period, and order, and a random intercept for participant to account for repeated measures and missing data. Results: Sitting with 3 min bouts of light-intensity exercise while standing every 30 min decreased systolic blood pressure by 3.5 mmHg (95% CI 1.7¿5.4) compared with sitting for 8 h uninterrupted. For participants not taking antihypertensive medications, sitting with 3 min of walking every 30 min decreased systolic blood pressure by 5.0 mmHg (95% CI -7.9 to 2.0) and sitting with 3 min bouts light-intensity exercise while standing every 30 min decreased systolic blood pressure by 4.2 mmHg (95% CI -7.2 to -1.3) compared with sitting for 8 h uninterrupted. There was no effect of condition on diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.45) or plasma fibrinogen levels (p = 0.91). Conclusion: Frequent, short bouts of light-intensity physical activity decreases systolic blood pressure in stroke survivors. However, before translation into clinical practice, the optimal duration and timing of physical activity bouts needs to be determined.

Objectives: People with stroke sit for long periods each day, which may compromise blood glucose control and increase risk of recurrent stroke. Studies in other populations have found regular activity breaks have a significant immediate (within-day) positive effect on glucose metabolism. We examined the effects of breaking up uninterrupted sitting with frequent, short bouts of light-intensity physical activity in people with stroke on post-prandial plasma glucose and insulin. Methods: Randomized within-participant crossover trial. We included people between 3 months and 10 years post-stroke, ambulant with minimal assistance and not taking diabetic medication other than metformin. The three experimental conditions (completed in random order) were: sitting for 8 h uninterrupted, sitting with 3 min bouts of light-intensity exercise while standing every 30 min, or sitting with 3 min of walking every 30 min. Meals were standardized and bloods were collected half- to one-hourly via an intravenous cannula. Results: A total of 19 participants (9 female, mean [SD] age 68.2 [10.2]) completed the trial. The majority (n = 12, 63%) had mild stroke symptoms (National Institutes of Stroke Scale score 0¿13). There was no significant effect of experimental condition on glucose (mean [SD] positive incremental area [+iAUC] mmol·L·h-1 under the curve during sitting 42.3 [29.5], standing 47.4 [23.1], walking 44.6 [26.5], p = 0.563) or insulin (mean + iAUC pmol·L·h-1 sitting 14,161 [7,560], standing 14,043 [8,312], walking 14,008 [8,269], p = 0.987). Conclusion: Frequent, short bouts of light-intensity physical activity did not have a significant effect on post-prandial plasma glucose and insulin in this sample of people with stroke. Further studies are needed to identify strategies that improve inactivity-related glucose metabolism after stroke.

We aimed to describe self-reported exercise 5 and 10 years after stroke, change in exercise over time, and to identify factors associated with long-term exercise. Methods Data on exercise (defined as 20 minutes' duration, causing sweating and increased heart rate) were obtained by questionnaire from a population-based stroke incidence study with 10-year follow-up. For change in exercise between 5 and 10 years (n = 276), we created 4 categories of exercise (no exercise, ceased exercising, commenced exercising, continued exercising). Multinomial regression determined associations between exercise categories and exercising before stroke, receiving exercise advice and functional ability and demographic factors. Results The prevalence of exercise at 5 years (n = 520) was 18.5% (n = 96) (mean age 74.7 [standard deviation {SD} 14] years, 50.6% male) and 24% (n = 78) at 10 years. In those with data at both 5 and 10 years (mean age 69 [standard deviation 14] years, 52.9% male), 15% (n = 42) continued exercising, 10% (n = 27) commenced exercising, 14% (n = 38) ceased exercising, and 61% (n = 169) reported no exercise. Continued exercise was associated with younger age (relative risk [RR].47 95% confidence interval [CI].25-0.89), greater Barthel score (RR 2.97 95% CI 1.00-8.86), independent walking (RR 2.32 95% CI 1.16-4.68), better quality of life (RR 10.9 95% CI 2.26-52.8), exercising before stroke (RR 16.0 95%CI 4.98-51.5), and receiving advice to exercise (RR 2.99 95% CI 1.73-5.16). Conclusions Few people exercise after stroke and fewer commence exercise long term. Innovative interventions to promote and maintain exercise are required after stroke.

Finding, testing and demonstrating efficacy of new treatments for stroke recovery is a multifaceted challenge. We believe that to advance the field, neurorehabilitation trials need a conceptually rigorous starting framework. An essential first step is to agree on definitions of sensorimotor recovery and on measures consistent with these definitions. Such standardization would allow pooling of participant data across studies and institutions aiding meta-analyses of completed trials, more detailed exploration of recovery profiles of our patients and the generation of new hypotheses. Here, we present the results of a consensus meeting about measurement standards and patient characteristics that we suggest should be collected in all future stroke recovery trials. Recommendations are made considering time post stroke and are aligned with the international classification of functioning and disability. A strong case is made for addition of kinematic and kinetic movement quantification. Further work is being undertaken by our group to form consensus on clinical predictors and pre-stroke clinical data that should be collected, as well as recommendations for additional outcome measurement tools. To improve stroke recovery trials, we urge the research community to consider adopting our recommendations in their trial design.

Introduction: Attitudes are recognized as influencing research implementation. However, little is known about the process by which physiotherapists¿ attitudes and beliefs shape their use of 7-day per week therapy and circuit class therapy research findings. Understanding beliefs may assist in addressing barriers to research uptake. Methods: Fifteen physiotherapists from six rehabilitation centers who ranged in seniority, experience, and education levels consented to be interviewed. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Findings: Participants felt that they had autonomy in adopting new approaches when the evidence was supported by social norms. Participants believed that 7-day per week therapy delivers a seamless service that increases physiotherapy time, which helps maintain patient improvement, but needs to accommodate patient choice and expectations. Circuit class therapy was viewed positively as it provides more physiotherapy time, increases patient social interaction, and motivation. However, this was qualified by a belief that patients would not receive individualized, quality of movement focused therapy, particularly for patients with limited capacities. Conclusion: Implementation of a new approach depends on the past experience, coherence with individual beliefs regarding important elements of therapy content, and opportunities to control barriers to implementation.

Questions: Among people receiving inpatient rehabilitation after stroke, does additional weekend physiotherapy and/or occupational therapy reduce the length of rehabilitation hospital stay compared to those who receive a weekday-only service, and does this change after controlling for individual factors? Does additional weekend therapy improve the ability to walk and perform activities of daily living, measured at discharge? Does additional weekend therapy improve health-related quality of life, measured 6 months after discharge from rehabilitation? Which individual, clinical and hospital characteristics are associated with shorter length of rehabilitation hospital stay? Design: This study pooled individual data from two randomised, controlled trials (n = 350) using an individual patient data meta-analysis and multivariate regression. Participants: People with stroke admitted to inpatient rehabilitation facilities. Intervention: Additional weekend therapy (physiotherapy and/or occupational therapy) compared to usual care (5 days/week therapy). Outcome measures: Length of rehabilitation hospital stay, independence in activities of daily living measured with the Functional Independence Measure, walking speed and health-related quality of life. Results: Participants who received weekend therapy had a shorter length of rehabilitation hospital stay. In the un-adjusted analysis, this was not statistically significant (MD -5.7 days, 95% CI -13.0 to 1.5). Controlling for hospital site, age, walking speed and Functional Independence Measure score on admission, receiving weekend therapy was significantly associated with a shorter length of rehabilitation hospital stay (ß = 7.5, 95% CI 1.7 to 13.4, p = 0.001). There were no significant between-group differences in Functional Independence Measure scores (MD 1.9 points, 95% CI -2.8 to 6.6), walking speed (MD 0.06 m/second, 95% CI -0.15 to 0.04) or health-related quality of life (SMD -0.04, 95% CI -0.26 to 0.19) at discharge. Discussion: Modest evidence indicates that additional weekend therapy might reduce rehabilitation hospital length of stay. Clinical Trial Registration: ACTRN12610000096055, ACTRN12609000973213.

Background: Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom after stroke. The last decade has seen rapid expansion of the research literature on post-stroke fatigue, but prevalence remains unclear. Aims: To estimate post-stroke fatigue prevalence and to identify the contributing factors to fatigue, by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. Summary of review: We included all studies of adult stroke survivors that used a recognized assessment scale for fatigue (search date September 2014). Two reviewers independently reviewed all full texts for inclusion. Data were extracted by one reviewer and independently cross-checked by a second. Risk of bias was evaluated using a critical appraisal tool. From an overall yield of 921 studies, 101 full text papers were screened, and 49 of these met inclusion criteria. The most widely used measure of fatigue was the Fatigue Severity Scale (n = 24 studies). Prevalence estimates at a cut-off score of > or = 4 were available for 22 of these 24 studies (total n = 3491), and ranged from 25 to 85%. In random effects meta-analysis, the pooled prevalence estimate was 50% (95% CI 43¿57%), with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 94%). Neither depression status nor time point post-stroke explained the heterogeneity between studies. In post-hoc analysis, fatigue prevalence was found to be lower in the four Asian studies (35%; 95% CI 20¿50; I2 = 96%). Conclusions: Our results confirm that fatigue is a widespread issue for stroke survivors, although it may be less prevalent in Asia. Further research is needed to explain the wide variability in prevalence estimates between studies.
