New research on Cerebrovascular Diseas es and Conditions - Stroke is the subject of a report. According to news reporti ng originating from Stoke on Trent, United Kingdom, by NewsRx correspondents, re search stated, "Contractures (reduced range of motion and increased stiffness of a joint) are a frequent complication of stroke. Contractures can interfere with function and cause cosmetic and hygiene problems." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Keele University, "Prev enting and managing contractures might improve rehabilitation and recovery after stroke. To assess the effects of assistive technologies for the management of c ontractures in adults after a stroke. We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, five other databases, and three trials registers in May 2022. We also searched for r eference lists of relevant studies, contacted experts in the field, and ran forw ard citation searches. Randomised controlled studies (RCTs) that used electrical , mechanical, or electromechanical devices to manage contractures in adults with stroke were eligible for inclusion in this review. We planned to include studie s that compared assistive technologies against no treatment, routine therapy, or another assistive technology. Three review authors (working in pairs) selected all studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. The primary outcomes wer e passive joint range of motion (PROM) with and without standardised force, and indirect measures of PROM. The secondary outcomes included hygiene. We also want ed to evaluate the adverse effects of assistive technology.
