AbstractStroke is a common disabling disease severely affecting the daily life of the patients. There is evidence that rehabilitation therapy can improve the movement function. However, there are no clear guidelines that identify specific, effective rehabilitation therapy schemes, and the development of new rehabilitation techniques has been fairly slow. One informatics translational approach, called ABC model in Literature-based Discovery, was used to mine an existing rehabilitation candidate which is most likely to be repositioned for stroke. As in the classic ABC model originated from Don Swanson, we built the internal links of stroke (A), assessment scales (B), rehabilitation therapies (C) in PubMed relating to upper limb function measurements for stroke patients. In the first step, with E-utility we retrieved both stroke related assessment scales and rehabilitation therapies records, and complied two datasets called Stroke_Scales and Stroke_Therapies, respectively. In the next step, we crawled all rehabilitation therapies co-occurred with the Stroke_Theapies, named as All_Therapies. Therapies that were already included in Stroke_Therapies were deleted from All_Therapies, so that the remaining therapies were the potential rehabilitation therapies, which could be repositioned for stroke after subsequent filtration by manual check. We identified the top ranked repositioning rehabilitation therapy following by subsequent clinical validation. Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT) ranked the first in our repositioning rehabilitation therapies list, with the most interaction links with Stroke_Scales. HABIT showed a significant improvement in clinical scores on assessment scales of Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Action Research Arm Test in the clinical validation on upper limb function for acute stroke patients. Based on the ABC model and clinical validation of the results, we put forward that HABIT as a promising rehabilitation therapy for stroke, which shows that the ABC model is an effective text mining approach for rehabilitation therapy repositioning. The results seem to be promoted in clinical knowledge discovery.Author SummaryIn the present study, we proposed a text mining approach to mining terms related to disease, rehabilitation therapy, and assessment scale from literature, with a subsequent ABC inference analysis to identify relationships of these terms across publications. The clinical validation demonstrated that our approach can be used to identify potential repositioning rehabilitation therapy strategies for stroke. Specifically, we identified a promising rehabilitation method called HABIT previously used in pediatric congenital hemiplegia. A subsequent clinical trial confirmed this as a highly promising rehabilitation therapy for stroke.

Task Oriented

The objective of this study was to assess the physical and psychological effects of an 18-session horticultural therapy (HT) program based on task-oriented training in stroke patients and investigate patient satisfaction. The HT program consisted of horticultural activities including the motions such as reaching–grasping, squatting, stepping, and stooping. A total of 31 stroke inpatients (16 males, 15 females) at B rehabilitation hospital in Seongnam, South Korea, participated in this study. Fourteen stroke patients participated in a thrice weekly HT program (6 weeks, ≈60 minutes per session) between Aug. and Sept. 2016, whereas another 17 stoke patients comprised the control group. At the completion of the 18-session HT program, upper limb function [manual function test (MFT)], grip strength (hydraulic hand dynamometer), pinch force (hydraulic pinch gauge), fine motor skills (9-hole pegboard), balance [Berg Balance Scale (BBS)], and activities of daily living (Modified Barthel Index) were evaluated in both groups. In addition, depression [The Korean version of the short form of Geriatric Depression Scales (SGDS-K)], rehabilitation stress (Rehabilitation Stress Scales), rehabilitation motivation (Rehabilitation Motivation Scales), and fall efficacy (The Korean version of the Falls Efficacy Scale) were evaluated. Stroke patients in the HT group showed significantly improved upper limb function, hand force, balance, fall efficacy, activities of daily living, and decreased depression (P < 0.05). By contrast, no significant change was noted in the control group. In addition, 85.7% of the stroke patients in the HT group reported being very satisfied or satisfied with the HT program. In conclusion, the HT program based on task-oriented training improved the patients’ physical and psychological function after stroke rehabilitation. These study results suggest that implementing an HT program in a rehabilitation hospital will effectively contribute to functional recovery after stroke.
