Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors affecting the prevalence of osteoarthritis and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of stroke patients from various angles, including demographic factors, socioeconomic factors, comorbidities, and lifestyle factors.Methods: A total of 13,959 patients ≥40 years of age (stroke group n = 416, non-stroke group n = 13,535) were identified from the 2016–2018 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for analysis. The European quality of life-5 dimensions questionnaire was used to compare the differences in stroke patient’s HRQoL according to the presence or absence of osteoarthritis. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting the HRQoL of the stroke group.Results: The prevalence of osteoarthritis was 21.72% in the stroke group and 12.49% in the non-stroke group. The prevalence of osteoarthritis in female patients who had strokes was 35.95% and was significantly higher than that of male patients who had strokes (10.23%). The European quality of life-5 dimensions index indicating HRQoL was significantly lower in stroke group with osteoarthritis. Factors that significantly influenced the HRQoL in the stroke group were the presence of osteoarthritis, aerobic exercise, drinking status, types of health insurance, and educational levels.Conclusions: This study confirmed that the HRQoL was significantly lower in stroke group with osteoarthritis. Findings were taken to suggest that the active management of osteoarthritis in stroke patients are important.

Among the most prevalent disabling diseases of old age, stroke is the leading chronic condition in Korea. The physical and psychosocial complications of a stroke can result in serious limitations on all aspects of one's life that affect overall quality of life. This study examines the relative importance of and interactions among factors which affect the quality of life of 119 stroke patients aged sixty-five and older in Korea. The model uses family support, personality (specifically hardiness), economic status, and physical functioning as independent variables, and quality of life as a dependent variable. The results of this study suggest that physical functioning and physical care by the family are important factors influencing quality of life of the aged stroke patients. Hardy personality is negatively associated with financial support and physical care by the family. These findings have several implications for policy development, clinical practice, and future research in this area.

Hemiparetic Stroke

Introduction The Stroke is a neurologic disturbs that leads to a serious impact to the functionality and the quality of life of the survivors. It is necessary to develop new tools with rehabilitation objectives, where the Virtual Reality (VR) is introduced as a useful therapeutic resource to the motor recovery, in an attractive and efficient way, restoring functions through adapted games. Objective Analyzing the therapeutic effects of the Virtual Reality (Serious Game) in the recovery of the upper limb in hemiparetic Stroke patients. Methods Quasi-experimental research type time series, there are three pre and three post-tests already accomplished around 20 VR sessions. In the assessments the following measurement instruments were used: Fugl-Meyer Scale – session of the upper limb (FMS - UL); Range of Motion (ROM) for flexion and abduction shoulder; Box and Block Test (BBT); Nine Holes and Peg Test (9HPT); the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP); and the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Results Significant gains were observed in the FMS-UL tests, with increase of 25.6%; increase ROM of shoulder with 34.0% for abduction and 19% for flexion; BBT 25.0%; also reported improvement in quality of life by NHP; it did not occurred significant alterations for 9HPT nor in MAS. Conclusion Although the results found in this research are preliminary, they are indicative that the VR can contribute for the recovery of the upper limb in hemiparetic Stroke patients.

The World

Currently, the problem of early rehabilitation of stroke patients is important, since in terms of the prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases and disability after suffering a stroke, Russia is one of the first places in the world. The complex of medical rehabilitation of such patients should provide for the early and most complete restoration of all body functions, patient education for lost skills, re-socialization of the patient and improvement of the quality of life. One of the factors contributing to a significant reduction in the quality of life after a stroke is the development of chronic constipation. The article reflects the modern methods of correction of chronic constipation in patients with limited mobility.
