CVA-07 · Stroke Rehabilitation Interventions and Functional Assessment

Stroke Rehabilitation Interventions and Functional Assessment. Part of the Cerebrovascular / Stroke series of the Reflex PM&R Board Review podcast. Audio corrections: (1) In the audio: if they can sustain a speed above 1.8 meters per second, they're classified as a full community ambulator. — Correct: 0.8 m/s, not 1.8. Ten-metre walk test: below 0.4 m/s is household ambulation, 0.4-0.8 m/s is limited community ambulation, above 0.8 m/s is full community ambulation. (2) In the audio: the ankle strongly plantarflexes while the foot everts. — Correct: The foot inverts, not everts. The Brunnstrom extension synergy is hip extension/adduction/internal rotation, knee extension, ankle plantarflexion and inversion, toe flexion. The written chapter is correct.
