“…After removing duplicates and screening titles and abstracts, 1083 full text articles were assessed for eligibility. Twenty-eight studies were included in the systematic review 42–73. Two thousand six-hundred and seventy-seven participants were recruited to these studies—mean participant age was 72.7 years, 49.3% were males and 87% of patients sustained a cerebral infarction.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions on physical function and immobility-related complications in severe stroke.DesignSystematic review of electronic databases (Medline, Excerpta Medica database, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Database of Research in Stroke, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) searched between January 1987 and November 2018.MethodsThe Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement guided the review. Randomised controlled trials comparing the effect of one type of rehabilitation intervention to another intervention, usual care or no intervention on physical function and immobility-related complications for patients with severe stroke were included. Studies that recruited participants with all levels of stroke severity were included only if subgroup analysis based on stroke severity was performed. Two reviewers screened search results, selected studies using predefined selection criteria, extracted data and assessed risk of bias for selected studies using piloted proformas. Marked heterogeneity prevented meta-analysis and a descriptive review was performed. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach was used to assess evidence strength.Results28 studies (n=2677, mean age 72.7 years, 49.3% males) were included in the review. 24 studies were rated low or very low quality due to high risk of bias and small sample sizes. There was high-quality evidence that very early mobilisation (ie, mobilisation with 24 hours poststroke) and occupational therapy in care homes were no more effective than usual care. There was moderate quality evidence supporting short-term benefits of wrist and finger neuromuscular electrical stimulation in improving wrist extensor and grip strength, additional upper limb training on improving upper limb function and additional lower limb training on improving upper limb function, independence in activities of daily living, gait speed and gait independence.ConclusionsThere is a paucity of high-quality evidence to support the use of rehabilitation interventions to improve physical function and reduce immobility-related complications after severe stroke. Future research investigating more commonly used rehabilitation interventions, particularly to reduce poststroke complications, is required.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017077737

Stroke has a deadly domino effect and is the number one cause of neurological defects in the world. Stroke patients can experience neurological deficits including cognitive impairment and disruption in fulfilling functional status reducing patient outcome. This literature review aims to identify the appropriate intervention to improve patient outcome among stroke patients. The authors conducted a literature search using several databases, namely ProQuest, EBSCO, Sage, and Science Direct from 2008 to 2018. The keywords appropriateness in the search were “stroke-patient”, “nursing intervention”, “patient outcome”. The literature search showed there are several nursing interventions for stroke patients that have an effect on increasing patient outcomes, namely intervention of dysphagia management, mobilization exercises, acupressure, cognitive enhancement, and self-management empowerment interventions. Nursing intervention given to stroke patients varies depending on the patient's response that arises as a result of a disorder related to the function of the part of the brain affected in stroke patients. Nurses through nursing interventions have a role in improving outcomes in stroke patients Keywords: Nursing Intervention; Patient Outcome; Stroke-Patient

“…It is known to elevate the weaning indices of tidal volumes and rapid shallow breathing index in coma patients perusing mechanical ventilation 36 . Acupressure is effective as alternative non-drug therapy in various critical conditions like end-stage renal disease COPD for pulmonary rehabilitation via reduction in dyspnoea and stroke 171, 172, 173. As compared to the contact pressure stimulation (PS), acupressure can exert better therapeutic effects due to improved microcirculatory blood-flow perfusion 41 .…”

Since time immemorial, complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) have played a significant role in human health care. CAM is known to have a strong reputation and reliability within every culture to provide basic health care treatment for patients. CAM acts as a better therapeutic option in human being for treating various diseases and improving quality of life with apt consideration to the economic aspects. Acupressure, one of the known CAM, originated in ancient China is based on the principal of acupoints activation across the meridians which correct the imbalance between Qi. Activation of specific points on the meridians is known to facilitate reduction of pain at the local sites. It also reduces the pain from other body parts. This review outlines various types, devices and mechanisms involved in the acupressure treatment.
