Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffects of task-specific and impairment-based training compared with usual care on functional walking ability after inpatient stroke rehabilitation: LEAPS Trial.
After inpatient stroke rehabilitation, many people still cannot participate in community activities because of limited walking ability. ⋯ Progressive PT, using either walking training on a treadmill and overground, conducted in a clinic, or strength and balance exercises conducted at home, was superior to UC in improving walking, regardless of severity of initial impairment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyTranscranial direct current stimulation improves swallowing function in stroke patients.
Poststroke dysphagia can persist, leading to many complications. ⋯ Anodal tDCS to the ipsilesional hemisphere and simultaneous peripheral sensorimotor activities significantly improved swallowing function as assessed by the DOSS.
