MESSAGE
MALACAÑAN PALACE Manila
My warmest greetings to the Stroke Society of the Philippines as you hold the 17th SSP Annual Convention.
Stroke is among the most debilitating conditions afflicting our countrymen today. This ailment hinders the mobility, reduces the productivity and diminishes the wellbeing of its victims and their families. The government looks to the fields of science and medicine to provide effective detection, treatment, rehabilitation and recovery options for everyone affected by this sickness. I therefore thank the Stroke Society of the Philippines for spearheading these endeavors and for addressing the key issues of your specialty in this convention.
The journey towards real change will be challenging and difficult, and our first steps will be hard and wobbly. But guided by our convictions, no obstacle will be too insurmountable for our country and our people. I ask you to join us and become our partners in building a healthier Filipino nation and ushering in a better Philippines.
I wish you a productive convention.

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
Warm greetings to The Stroke Society of the Philippines on the occasion of its 17th Annual Convention.
There is life after stroke. This is what your Convention seeks to advance among your participants composed of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and other members of the allied medical profession involved in the care and rehabilitation of stroke patients. Indeed, the management of stroke calls for an organized team of competent health professionals.
Thus, by your example, the Department of Health’s rallying cry, “All for Health towards Health for All,” becomes more than a chant. It also becomes alive as our health institutions, the private hospitals included, join our government and the Department of Health to work as one for the realization of the Duterte Health Agenda. For truly, change is coming!
Mabuhay tayong lahat!

PHILIPPINEMEDICAL ASSOCIATION
Greetings from the Philippine Medical Association!
It is an honor and a pleasure for me to convey my heartfelt felicitations to all the officers and members of the STROKE SOCIETY of the PHILIPPINES on the holding of its 17TH SSP Annual Convention on August 4 to 6, 2016 at the Subic Bay Traveler’s Hotel with the theme: “PRIORITIES, PROGRESS and PROMISE of REHABILITATION and RECOVERY AFTER STROKE”.
Rehabilitative and Restorative Care is one of the four important fields in Medicine that is needed in the delivery of total health care to our people. Like the other fields of specialization, it will continue to evolve as the search for new and innovative approaches in managing disease conditions continue to challenge medical practitioners throughout the world. With the participation of allied health professionals in your forthcoming conference, you have just emphasized the value of “team effort or team work” in the delivery of health care. I am confident that with the way your conference is designed, fruitful discussions and sharing of experiences will not only enrich the knowledge and skills of all the participants but will be memorable to each and everyone as well.
On behalf of the 2016-2017 National Officers and Board of Governors of the Philippine Medical Association, I would like to reiterate my warmest greetings and felicitations to one and all. Mabuhay ang Stroke Society of the Philippines at Maraming Salamat sa Inyong lahat!

PHILIPPINENEUROLOGICALASSOCIATION
In behalf of the PNA Board of Governors of 2016, I would like to congratulate the officers and Board of Trustees of the Stroke Society of the Philippines headed by Dr. Maria Cristina Z. San Jose for the 17th SSP Annual Convention with the theme: Priorities, Progress and Rehabilitation and Recovery after Stroke at the Subic Bay Traveler’s Hotel, Subic Bay Freeport Zone in August 4-6, 2016. The program provides an interesting mix of topics from Unlocking the Signals of Stroke to the Asia-Pacific Organization-Stroke Society of the Philippines Collaborative Symposia, Posterior Circulation Stroke, Simultaneous Sessions for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals and the joint SSP-Philippine Society of Neurorehabilitation Symposium with workshops for spasticity, swallowing assessment and rTPA treatment. As stated in the Stroke Bill of Rights, “patients have the right to the best stroke care, be informed and prepared, and be supported in their recovery. It is a tool that can be used by individuals and organizations to communicate with stroke care providers and with governments and their agencies about what people affected by stroke think are the most important things in their recovery.” As neurologists, we fully support these basic rights towards the progress and recovery of our patients. Again, congratulations to the Stroke Society of the Philippines!

THE STROKESOCIETY OF THE
PHILIPPINES
Warmest greetings to all participants of the 17th SSP Annual Convention!
This year, the Stroke Society of the Philippines has decided to go on full circle, putting emphasis on topics related to long-term post stroke management. Behind the frequently cited numbers and prevalence rates are stroke survivors and carers whose lives have been affected significantly, who are forced to come into terms and deal with the aftermath and who need all the assistance on the road to recovery. This convention hopes to enlighten participants that many post stroke complications are treatable with drug therapy, appropriate specialist referral, rehabilitation and multidisciplinary care.
It shall be a packed 3-day scientific activity with lectures, interactive cases and workshops to be handled by esteemed local and international faculty. Joint symposia and separate sessions have been prepared to address common as well as varied topics of importance and interests among the members of the health care team managing stroke.
On behalf of the officers and members of the SSP Board of Trustees, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the SSP Olongapo Chapter for co-organizing this convention in Subic. We would like to thank all our invited speakers especially the faculty of the Philippine Society of Neurorehabilitation (PSNR) and members of the organizing committee for their generous offer of time and expertise. To our pharmaceutical partners, maraming salamat for supporting and working with us to help ensure success of this convention.
Wishing everyone a fruitful convention as we continue to work together towards providing the best possible therapy along the continuum of stroke care with determination, hope and optimism.
Truly yours,
SSP PresidentMARIA CRISTINA Z. SAN JOSE, MD, FPNA

THE STROKESOCIETY OF THE
PHILIPPINES
Welcome to the 17th Annual Convention of the Stroke Sociefy of the Philippines!
Through the years, the society has been coming up with various themes and programmes with the goal of helping patients afflicted with stroke and their caregivers. With the same goal in mind, the organizing committee endeavors to provide basic knowledge, updates, and practical guidelines. This year we focus on what happens after stroke - the sequelae of the disease. No matter how ‘minor’ a stroke is, it leaves a ‘mark’- may be a more rigorous secondary measure or problems that impact even on the daily existence like memory, swallowing, sleep, bladder control and others. It may concern how he perceives the world coupled with feeling of hopelessness. We also focus on the caregivers who do not only share the burden but are instrumental for the step by step recovery.
The SSP cares for those who had a stroke, for those at risk, for the healthy individual who wants to avoid having a stroke and the caregivers. All together our paramount concern is to make the lives of our stroke victims better lived.
Maraming salamat po.

ABSTRACT
DAY 1: President’s Plenary: August 4, 2016SpeakerAbstract
Evidence-based strategies considered as “standard of care” for the treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of stroke has been established. Unfortunately, gaps exist between what is known and what is being done for Stroke in the Philippines. Lack of knowledge of stroke signs and symptoms & importance of risk factor control and seeking immediate medical attention by the public account for adherence problems and delays in presentation. Many hospitals are ill – equipped or unprepared to handle hyperacute Stroke. Despite efforts for education & dissemination, key information has not reached many critical parts of the country. Specialist care is highly concentrated in the urban areas. We cannot undermine economic, political & geographical reasons as major barriers for equal access to & provision of standard of care.
The task to reduce the burden of Stroke in the Philippines is formidable. Our health care system and resources are already challenged and we expect the number of Stroke cases to rise over the next several years. While there are definite challenges, we need to focus on opportunities and workable solutions. The Stroke Society of the Philippines and the Philippine Neurological Association have spearheaded worthy advocacy projects and activities towards improving Stroke care, yet much remains to be done. Concerted efforts and strategic partnerships by individuals, organizations, both government and NGO, local and international is crucial if we aim for a stroke-free Philippines.

Stroke Telemedicine is a real-time audiovisual conferencing system allowing stroke specialists to remotely access patients through the healthcare provider and to review their history, physical and neurological findings, neuroimaging, and investigational results across the network. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association gave recommendations on the technical requirements of such program but SSP came up with a conceptual framework that is feasible, innovative, and inexpensive. Thus, the project, “Stroke Society of the Philippines – Alternative Support System for Ischemic Stroke Thrombolysis Philippines” or SSP.ASSIST.PH.
SSP.ASSIST.PH program is designed to make use of available technology in order to provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, specialist’s assistance to any physician who is in need of real-time guidance for acute ischemic stroke thrombolysis – anywhere in the Philippines. It is intended to improve the efficacy of acute stroke management by providing an alternative real-time support to facilities located in geographically remote areas where stroke expertise is typically not available on an emergent basis. This program will serve as a channel that may empower first-line physicians to confidently institute IV tPA treatment knowing that they, at any time, can be virtually assisted by a stroke specialist or a neurologist with vast experience in thrombolytic therapy.

ENDOVASCULAR THERAPY IN ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE; ARE WE THERE YET?
PETER PAUL P. RIVERA, MD
DAY 1: What’s New in Acute Stroke Therapy: August 4, 2016
The management of ischemic stroke has evolved at a very fast pace in recent years. The management of ischemic stroke by endovascular means began in earnest in the 1990’s with the development and improvement of neuroimaging, stroke teams and endovascular devices, technology and know how. The past ten years have shown a rapid evolution in stroke management, with most true neurovascular centers relying on endovascular techniques, particularly mechanical thrombectomy, to achieve early recanalization and therefore good outcomes in carefully selected patients. Even during the “dark ages” cast by IMS III results, a lot of neurovascular specialists continued to follow their thrombectomy protocols. At present, at least five trials, beginning with MR CLEAN, have shown good results in favor of endovascular recanalization of vessels for acute stroke. In part because of this, the number of cases done and the number of devices available for the interventionist have multiplied and many more are in development/production. Despite these, there are still multiple challenges that face the stroke specialist. There are certain problems with regards to the management of stroke that are common amongst developing countries; but there are also some problems that are specific to the Philippines.
Abstract
The prerequisite in understanding brainstem ischemic syndrome is to know the anatomy of the brainstem perfectly. Peter Gates’ The Rule of 4 is a simple method to help neurologists and non-neurologists remember the anatomy of the brainstem and the associated various brainstem vascular syndromes.
Essentially, understanding of the different vascular syndromes will guide us to the specific vascular territory involved in stroke and its corresponding mechanism. The syndromes are derived from the following sections of the brainstem: lesions of the medial upper medulla, lesions of the lateral upper medulla, lesions of the medial lower pons, lesions of the lateral lower pons, lesions of the medial midpons, lesions of the lateral midpons, lesions of the medial upper pons, lesions of the lateral upper pons, lesions of the medial midbrain, and lesions of the lateral midbrain.
The names of the syndromes are quite fascinating as these are all eponymic and named after the original describers of the syndromes. In this lecture, we will recognize all of them again with their various constellations of signs and symptoms commonly found in posterior circulation infarct.

As in any medical case, the clinician’s first task is to decide what is happening to his patient. Clinical diagnosis of stroke is often challenging, but the task becomes less trying when we follow a systematic approach when dealing with such patients. Two key questions must be answered, to be able to direct appropriate diagnostic modalities and timely treatment:
First, is my patient having a stroke? Clinicians should first ask whether the findings could alternately be caused by conditions other than a stroke, such as a brain tumor, metabolic disorder, infections, drugs, traumatic injury, and the like. Data from the patient’s history are used to answer this, including timing of events, presence of cerebrovascular risk factors and accompanying signs and symptoms. Several scoring systems are also available to aid in distinguishing a stroke from non-strokes.
Second, where is the lesion? This concerns the anatomic localization of the stroke, in the brain and in the cerebrovascular system, deduced from a thorough physical and neurologic examination. Stroke syndromes are sets of symptoms that help identify which part of the brain has been injured in a stroke. It is important that we are aware of the various stroke syndromes, particularly those with potential devastating effects, which could lead to significant disability and even death.

The use of diagnostic imaging such as non-contrast CT is a very important tool in the management of stroke particularly in differentiating hemorrhagic from ischemic stroke.
It just be emphasized that the most important factor that will determine the outcome of management in acute stroke is time. The faster clinical diagnosis and the diagnostic tests are completed and results are relayed to the stroke team, the better is the outcome. CT provides the fastest diagnostic test for evaluating patients who are suspected to have suffered a stroke.
MRI can provide much more detailed information regarding the state of the brain in acute stroke and at the present state of development can also provide diagnosis of hemorrhage but this examination takes a longer time to perform. Since the procedure will take a longer time to complete, the chance of encountering problems with the quality of images becomes magnified. Motion is the worst enemy of MRI as this can significantly degrade the image that will be produced to the point that it can no longer of diagnostic quality.
IMAGING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE STROKE

DAY 1: Stroke Therapies and Nursing Care: August 4, 2016
SpeakerAbstractCompleted his nursing degrees and midwifery studies and his Masters in
Business Administration major in Human Resources and Development in the Philippines. He obtained his stroke nursing expertise in the United Kingdom. He worked as a clinical nurse specialist in stroke and TIA in the UK for 12 years. He finished his Masters Degree with distinction in London South Bank University major in Nursing with background of specialist neuroscience, acute management in stroke, thrombolysis nursing and stroke prevention.
He is currently working as a Stroke Nurse Specialist at the King Abdulaziz Medical City ( Riyadh) . He developed the Specialized Stroke Nursing Program and initiated the stroke focus group at the KAMC. . He is leading on the development of competencies among CRNs and nursing staff in acute medical units.
He has published 30 articles, researches and abstracts in the international journal of nursing and practice. He is a member of the editorial board of the Public Health Open Journal.
He was nominated as the 2014-2015 Rising Star of the year in the UK’s leading Health Service Journal for his major contribution to stroke care in the UK.
Time is brain. If time is lost, brain is lost. This concept is clinically relevant in
acute management of stroke particularly in thrombolytic treatment. The use of
thrombolysis or clot busting treatment in acute ischemic stroke is effective if it is
administered within 4.5 hours of onset of stroke symptoms. It is imperative that
nurses, being health care providers, should act in a timely and proactive fashion.
The presentation will highlight the evidence–based thrombolytic treatment for
acute ischemic stroke, define the importance of timeline and targets, and explore
the role of nurses in the safe administration and post monitoring of the treatment.

Stroke is a devastating and complex disease that really imposes a great burden to
patients and their loved ones. A wide variety of treatment includes physiologic and
pharmacologic ones. Drug administration is a key principle in stroke management.
Being frontliners, nurses play a key role towards patients’ care and giving
medication is one of their major duties and responsibilities.
Given a wide range of medications in stroke, cautious and accurate delivery is
warranted. Nurses are responsible for the timely administration of a drug and giving
the right dose to a stroke patient. We should be knowledgeable of the commonly
used drugs in stroke to avoid committing errors. Likewise, educating patients and
their family about stroke and the medications they are taking is very essential for
secondary stroke prevention.

Time is of the essence when it comes to stroke. It is important to have a good
clinical-eye for us to recognize the signs and symptoms of stroke in order to save
the patient from death or serious disability. Nurses play a vital role in the course
of hospitalization of stroke patients. From admission to discharge, we provide
continuous assessment, planning and intervention ensuring quality outcome for our
patients. Stroke is an intricate disease that requires multidisciplinary management
where nurses act as the coordinators of care throughout the patient’s admission.
This lecture will touch on 2 phases of stroke care: (1) The emergency or hyperacute
phase, which encompasses pre-hospital setting and the emergency department,
and (2) the acute care phase, which covers critical care units, intermediate care
units, stroke units, and general medical units.

Stroke begets stroke. Although the best way to prevent stroke is not to have one, among patients with prior Stroke or TIA - the best defense is a good offense! For patients with ischemic stroke or TIA, the use of Antithrombotics, Antihypertensives and Statins have been consistently shown to be helpful in reducing stroke recurrences.
Within 5 years of a first stroke, the risk for another stroke can increase to more than 24 to 40% especially during the first year. Recurrent strokes increases with age in all stroke subtypes and often have a higher rate of death and disability. Pertinent questions we clinicians should ask to guide management for stroke recurrence are the following: Is it early stroke recurrence or worsening of incident stroke? Was the prior stroke diagnostic work-up complete or were key diagnostic studies omitted? Are we providing the appropriate stroke treatment and preventions based on the stroke mechanism? Based on the extent of the prior stroke diagnostic work-up, the patient’s overall clinical condition and severity of illness, and patient-family input, is it appropriate to obtain additional diagnostic studies?
What to prescribe among the locally available approved drugs, which dose to choose, when to start and how long, and in what clinical subtypes of ischemic stroke to use these medications will be discussed using evidence-based data and latest guideline recommendations. As always, individualized approach to patient care and lifestyle modification are emphasized.
STROKE SHOULD NOT STRIKE TWICE: PRACTICAL EVIDENCE-BASED USE OF THE POWER TRIO:
ANTITHROMBOTICS, ANTIHYPERTENSIVES AND STATINS
ARTEMIO A. ROXAS JR., MD, FPNA
SpeakerAbstract
Seizures are reported following a stroke in 2-30% of cases.
Early onset seizure incidence range from 4.3-6.5% while late onset seizures are much less frequent, reported in 2.3 -3.14% of cases in different studies. Although reliable predictors that determine recurrence of post stroke seizures or epilepsy have not yet been vefiried, some of the risk factors that have been highly associated with early onset (<2 weeks) seizures following a stroke are intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage, hemorrhagic transformation, hyponatremia and alcoholism. Factors that correlate with late onset seizures (>2 weeks) are cerebral cortical involvement (regardless of whether it is from an infarction or hemorrhage), younger age of the patient and severity of neurological deficits. Late onset seizures occur 6 mos- 2 yrs after a stroke and has a high tendency for recurrence (50%). Post stroke epilepsy or seizure recurrence has been independently correlated to large volume of hemorrhage and seizure on admission.
Epileptogenetic mechanisms underlying post stroke seizures and epilepsy are still vaguely understood. The breakdown products of hemosiderin may increase hyperexcitability of cortical neurons. Animal studies on ischemic injury and seizures have demonstrated that the down regulation of IA type potassium channels in the brain tissue surrounding the infarct may contribute to the development of post stroke seizures and long term seizure susceptibility after ischemia.
Prophylactic coverage with anti-epileptic drugs in stroke is not routinely recommended. However, due to the high risk of recurrence after a first late onset seizure, maintenance antiepileptic drug treatment is strongly advised for long term use, especially in the presence of other risk factors.
The choice of treatment for epilepsy among patients with stroke entails special consideration. The use of the first generation antiepileptic drugs (phenobarbital, phenytoin and carbamazepine) which are hepatic enzyme inducers may increase clearance of certain stroke medications rendering them less effective. They also have high protein binding which can result in drug-drug interactions (with warfarin, losartan, statins,etc) esp. among those patients with multiple medical co-medications. Enzyme inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) also interfere with cholesterol metabolism, elevating cholesterol levels and may worsen atherosclerosis.

SpeakerAbstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most important complications of medical illnesses and the most clinically significant of all the neuropsychiatric sequelae of stroke, yet often overlooked if not totally ignored. In the most recent updated systematic review and meta-analyses of observational studies, recognizing the differences in methods of ascertaining symptoms of depression and differences in enrolled populations, a pooled estimate from population-based studies of individuals who have had a stroke indicated a prevalence of depression of 31% (95% confidence interval 28% to 35%). The prevalence rate is 19.3% among hospitalized patients and 23.3% among outpatient samples.
Stroke-associated depression leads to greater disability, increased mortality and risks of recurrent vascular events. Predictors for PSD include previous stroke, degree of disability, prior history of depression and anxiety, restricted social activity, age <68 years old, female and single living. The most recent systematic review offered no support for the hypothesis that lesion of the left hemisphere was associated with an increased risk of depression after stroke.
Given that the nature of physical and psychiatric illnesses are inseparable, PSD appears not to be the result of “pure” biological nor psychological causes, but instead to be multifactorial in origin and consistent with the biopsychosocial model of illnesses.

SpeakerAbstract
Vascular Dementia (VaD) is a common cause of dementia, noted to be the second most common single cause after Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in many epidemiological studies, and the most common cause in some Asian countries. But diagnosis has not been as straightforward as those of other common causes of dementia, for several reasons.
As in most disorders causing dementia, the diagnosis of VaD relies mainly on clinical evaluation. The medical history, supplemented by an independent informant, should establish the vascular event and the presence of dementia, with focus on the cognitive domains affected, mode of onset, pattern of progression and impact on function (Activities of Daily Living). The history should likewise document information regarding the level of education, past medical history, medication history and family history. The neurological examination, including a detailed mental status examination, should document the pertinent findings supportive of cognitive impairment in dementia and neurological deficits in cerebrovascular disease. A formal neuropsychological evaluation is ideal, and would be most helpful in cases with diagnostic dilemma. As in every patient suspected of having dementia, structural neuroimaging is recommended for evaluation. In VaD, this is used to document the presence of cerebrovascular disease and the particular etiology causing dementia. The Ischemic Score (Modified Hachinski Ischemic Scale for Vascular Dementia, 1975 and 1980) remains a useful tool for clinicians and researchers in the diagnosis of VaD.
Stroke prevention remains an important component in the management of VaD. This includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies to reduce risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. Reversible conditions that mimic dementia, like hypothyroidism or vitamin B12 deficiency, if clinically suspected, should be ruled out and treated. Concomitant cognitive impairing conditions including BDSDs should also be managed. Loss of cholinergic neurons and cholinergic pathway disruption are features of VaD. Use of Cholinesterase Inhibitors (ChEI) have been shown to have symptomatic improvement on cognition, function and behaviour. In clinical practice, ChEI and Memantine are usually given empirically and continued if improvement of symptoms is noted.

SpeakerAbstract
It has been always a challenge in preventing deep vein thrombosis among stroke patients. Patients admitted to hospital with a stroke of recent onset are at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which may be complicated by pulmonary emboli (PEs) and sudden death. The risk of DVT is highest in patients who are initially immobile, a previous history of DVT, dehydration, or comorbidities such as malignant diseases or clotting disorders. Patients with an increased risk of DVT should receive prophylactic treatment and to reduce the chance of DVT, patients should be mobilized as soon as possible and should be kept well hydrated. Treatment with subcutaneously administered low-dose unfractionated heparin is preferred to unfractionated heparin and may be considered in patients with ischemic stroke if the risk of DVT is estimated to be higher than the risk of hemorrhagic complications. In patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, low-dose subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin is probably safe after documentation of cessation of active bleeding, and may be considered on an individual cases several days from stroke onset. The goal of this lecture is to provide an evidence-based framework for the appropriate administration of thromboprophylaxis in patients with neurologic illness. This includes patients with ischemic stroke, intracranial and intraventricular hemorrhage (ICH and IVH), aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and patients undergoing neurosurgical and neurovascular interventions.

SpeakerAbstract
Post stroke patients may develop chronic pain. In most cases, this is due to
musculoskeletal pain or pain due to the obligatory overuse of the unaffected
limbs. Pain from spasticity may also develop. However, in 8-12% of patients
with stroke, central neuropathic pain may ensue due to the insult involving the
spinothalamocortical pathway. It may begin months or even years after the insult.
This lecture shall discuss the diverse clinical features of this pain syndrome,
progress in understanding its pathophysiology, and review of the pharmacologic,
non-pharmacologic and neuromodulatory treatments of this insidious pain that
never seems to go away.

SpeakerAbstract
Urinary bladder dysfunction frequently accompanies stroke and is distressing, disabling with major implication in the patient’s quality of life after stroke.
The brain is the master control of the entire urinary system. The urinary bladder stores and expels urine in a coordinated fashion. This coordinated activity is regulated by the CNS and PNS. Damage to the neuro-micturition pathways, decrease mental ability , decreased cognition, immobility and language problem are all possible factors for post stroke urinary bladder dysfunction.
The most common types of urinary dysfunction are urgency/incontinence, urinary retention and functional incontinence.
Structured assessment with planned processes and individually tailored interventions can improve continence levels in stroke patients.

We spend a third of our lives asleep. Sleep is a natural and integral part of an
organism’s survival and to ensure proper functioning of all it’s body systems.
Numerous studies and relationships have been postulated with regards to the role
of sleep duration, circadian rhythm changes and sleep disordered breathing in
the vascular physiology that underlies cerebrovascular disease. This lecture will
focus on the various sleep disorders, not limited to sleep disordered breathing, that
occurs after stroke. An elucidation on their role and impact on patients’ recovery
and quality of life will be discussed. Management principles ranging from the
most practical bedside principles and pharmacologic management will also be
emphasized.

Abstract
Stroke is a major global disease burden that can cause lifetime
disability. Cerebral blood flow is affected among patient with
stroke. With proper bed positioning, cerebral blood flow may
be facilitated. Bed positioning is a delicate balancing act;
harms and benefits of a certain position should be weighed.
Other factors, such as secretions and other comorbidities,
should be taken in consideration as well. Stroke patients,
especially in the acute stage need to be positioned in the best
way to contribute to healing as well as improve comfort and
prevent pain and contractures. Bed position is an example of
how attention to detail improves outcomes.
BED POSITIONING FOR OPTIMAL PATIENT SAFETY AND COMFORT
Nurses, like physiotherapists, spend considerable time
monitoring and caring for patients with stroke. Deconditioning
among those afflicted with stroke is commonly reported. To
counter the deleterious effects of deconditioning, proper
bed mobilization, transfers and range of motion exercises
should be regularly provided. To deter life threatening risks of
aspirations, proper assessment and handling of patients with
dysphagia is warranted. Considering that aphasia hampers
effective communication between nurses and stroke patients,
strategies have to be used to effectively instruct, obtain
feedback and ensure delivery of appropriate treatment..

Abstract
Currently, the use of the WHO International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health (ICF) is recommended in the evaluation and treatment planning of patients for rehabilitation. This framework recognizes the underlying organ structure (pathology) and function (pathophysiology) and the potential for restoring/optimizing personal function or preventing further limitation of activity. It also recognises that the ability to participate depends not only on activities or personal functioning but also on a corresponding number of contextual factors affecting personal life and the individual’s environment.

Abstracts
The incidence of stroke has been increasing in the recent years, and patients having stroke are getting younger. Their ability to fully participate in the community and contribute to the financial stability of their family becomes limited due to the different deficits from stroke. Therefore, the importance of rehabilitation towards functional recovery cannot be overemphasized. Needless to say, rehabilitation should be started at the earliest possible time. However, it should proceed with caution, taking into consideration the type and severity of stroke as well as the other medical conditions that the patient might have. Most of the time, these are the questions that are asked during rehabilitation: 1. When should rehabilitation start? 2. What are the precautions that should be taken during therapy sessions? 3. What are the conditions that will necessitate deferral of treatment? And 4. When can we progress from a less strenuous to a more strenuous activity? The answers to these questions should be clear to ensure that we facilitate recovery and not cause further injury.
The Motor Relearning Programme (MRP) for patients with lower extremity deficits involves training of sit-to-stand, standing, and ambulation. The plan of action involves identification of missing component of these activities, followed by practice of the component movements in part before practicing the task as a whole. Transference of learning beyond the therapy session is also necessary to provide consistent practice of related activities during the patient’s day to day life.
The essential components of sit-to-stand that are usually affected post stroke include loss of forward inclination of trunk, lack of scooting and backward placement of unaffected leg, and maintaining symmetrical weight on both legs upon standing up. For balanced standing, alignment is attained with feet a few inches apart, hips in front of ankles, shoulders over hips, head balanced on level shoulders, and erect trunk. The components needed for stance phase of ambulation include hip extension, lateral horizontal pelvic shift, and flexion of the knee while the swing phase includes hip, knee, and ankle flexion.
Focus of intervention, for assumption of standing, will work on retraining strategies from the pelvis towards the legs to enable symmetrical weight bearing in standing.
Symmetrical and balanced standing can be achieved by improving base of support and balance strategies to overcome internal and external perturbations.
Paresis of the lower extremity post-stroke would decrease the ability to weight bear during stance phase, as well as foot clearance and placement during swing phase of level ambulation. Furthermore, it will be more challenging to bear one’s body weight when walking up and down ramps or stairs, and across uneven terrain. Hence, training is devoted to improving control of lower extremity during stance and swing.

DAY 2: Stroke Rehabilitation: August 5, 2016
DAY 3: Neurorehabilitation: August 6, 2016SpeakerAbstract
As early as 1906 Santiago Ramon Y Cajal was talking about how the brain can change, at that time it was almost heretical. 50 years later Paul Bach y Rita talked of brain networks as a roadway system., then with the explosion of the computer technology, an avalanche of information and understanding of brain function took centerstage. The third phase in the comprehensive management of stroke deals with the recovery of deficits incurred by the stroke. Medical progress leads to more stroke survivors, however the deficits remain the same. Recovery of the stroke patient entails that the brain REORGANIZES !!!. The brain is plastic and can remodel itself to adapt to the needs of the individual. A stroke leaves permanently damaged areas, thus the brain has to compensate by re organizing. The capability of the brain to reorganize is called the plasticity of the brain. There are 3 major types of reorganization, , Synaptogenesis,neurogenesis, and angiogenesis. There is also restorative rehabilitation where other areas of the brain take over lost function.. The second is a newer field called regenerative rehabilitation , wherein new brain cells fromed by neural stem cells in the subventricular regions migrate to the peri infarct area.
There are five basic princi[ples governing neuro plasticity
NEUROPLASTICITY PRINCIPLE # 1 : BODY PARTS COMPETE FOR BRAIN REPRESENTATION: It is in this principle where the term “ USE DEPENDENT PLASTICITY “ was coined. This has been modified to “EXPERIENCE DEPENDENT PLASTICITY” There is a need for the brain to use experience to initiate a new synaptic connection between neurons. The more a part is used the bigger its area of representation in the brain that correlates with improved function. CIMT or constraint induced movement therapy has been advocated for this principle. The opposite effect if the body part is not used leads to “ LEARNED NON USE”
NEUROPLASTICITY PRINCIPLE # 2 : THE IPSILATERAL HEMISPHERE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO MOTOR CONTROL This has been shown by functional MRI studies on stroke patients
NEUROPLASTICITY PRINCIPLE # 3 : SENSORY STIMULATION ENHANCES PLASTICITY. Using electrical stimulation to enhance the sensory representation of the body part makes that area in the brain hyperexcitable to plasticity
NEUROPLASTICITY PRINCIPLE # 4: REDUCTION OF INHIBITION ENHANCES PLASTICITY:By removing factors that make the patient less motivated, sleepy , then recovery is enhanced. One important consideration here is to treat post stroke depression and not use drugs that induce drowsiness.
NEUROPLASTICITY PRINCIPLE # 5: PHARMACOLOGIC AGENTS CAN ENHANCE PLASTICITY: All of these principles have to be translated into FUNCTIONAL TASK AND CONTEXT oriented exercises.The lecture will include some practical home tasks for the stroke patient using the above principles If a stroke patient is to recover he must do all these activities by himself

SpeakerAbstract
Dementia is a neurologic clinical condition characterized by progressive decline or loss of memory and other domains in cognition such as attention, language and problem solving. The most common form is Alzheimer’s disease which accounts for more than 70% of the cases. Coming in second is vascular dementia followed by mixed, Lewy Body, Parkinsonson Dementia, frontotempral dementi and dementia from secondary causes.
There is no cure for dementia. The best option is still prevention and early recognition and intervention In contrast to traditional goal of restorative therapies in rehabilitation to cure or minimize impairment to improve status, dementia rehabilitation is improving skills and functioning or hablitative and compensatory. Pharmacologic options are Cholinesterase inhibitors which has benefit in mild to moderate stages. Non pharmacologic management includes cognitive and behavioral interventions. The 3 principal goals of rehabilitation for individual with dementia are: 1. Help improve if not maintain function and engage in daily activities. 2. Restore or compensate any functional decline due to acute injury and 3. Provide family and caregiver with skills to provide a supportive home environment.

DAY 3: Neurorehabilitation: August 6, 2016
SpeakerAbstract
Post stroke spasticity (PSS) has a 19% prevalence at 3 months, reaching up to 38% in one year for first ever strokes. PSS may become disabling, leading to significant functional impairment that ranges from loss of mobility, loss of dexterity and muscle pain, ultimately resulting to poor quality of life. Meta-analysis on various Neurorehabilitation care practices in PSS prove that certain procedures have good evidence, such as: (a) For improvement of motor arm function: constraint-induced movement therapy, robotics and electromyography-triggered neuromuscular stimulation; (b) For improvement in walking ability: electromechanical-assisted gait training, circuit class training and TENS. Furthermore, Pooled systematic studies on PSS prove that Botulinum toxin-A (BoNTA) has superior efficacy and safety and has become the first line management, in tandem with physiotherapy. Through time, not only do neural mechanisms of muscle hypertonus spasticity occur, but that biomechanical changes at affected joint movers do worsen the evolving events . Most studies use BoNTA in the chronic stage, or “established spasticity” (>6months from onset of PSS), which is perhaps why functional benefits were not achieved. Furthermore, complications of spasticity like co-contractions, dystonia and contractures may have already set-in. Early intervention with BoNTA (<3 months from onset of PSS) at the stage of “evolving spasticity,” has been shown in 3-upper limb and 1-lower limb spasticity injections.

SpeakerAbstract
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is delivered to the brain by passing a strong brief electrical current through an insulated wire coil placed on the skull. This rapid phasic current flow generates a transient magnetic field, which propagates in space and in turn induces a secondary current in the brain that is capable of depolarising neurons if the coil is held over the subject’s head (Pascual-Leone et al., 2002).
tDCS uses homogenous DC field delivered at intensities of around 1 mA via two electrodes placed on the scalp. An active electrode is placed on the site overlying the cortical target, and a reference electrode is usually placed over the contralateral supraorbital area or in a non-cephalic region. tDCS induces long-lasting changes in the brain and it can be used to manipulate brain excitability via membrane polarisation: cathodal stimulation hyperpolarises, while anodal stimulation depolarises the resting membrane potential, whereby the induced after-effects depend on polarity, duration and intensity of the stimulation (Paulus, 2011).
Neuromodulation is the physiological process by which a given neuron uses one or more neurotransmitters to regulate diverse populations of neurons. This is in contrast to classicalsynaptic transmission, in which one presynaptic neuron directly influences a single postsynaptic partner. Neuromodulators secreted by a small group of neurons diffuse through large areas of the nervous system, affecting multiple neurons.
Both TMS and tDCS have shown evidence of neuromodulation for stroke rehabilitation.

SpeakerAbstract
Stroke in children is a multifactorial disease. The etiologies, risk factors and differential diagnosis in children are more varied compared to adults thus the work-up for the cause is more extensive compared to adults. Congenital and acquired heart disease, hematologic disorders, vasculopathies, metabolic disorders, infection and trauma are the more common causes in children. Randomized controlled trials of treatment in children are lacking and treatment of pediatric stroke is largely patterned from adult stroke trials. Current guidelines recommend the use antiplatelet doses of aspirin for secondary prevention.
Despite neural plasticity in children, majority have persistent disability. There is lack of literature on the use of standardized functional outcome measurements following pediatric stroke. Scales which describe neurological impairments and activity limitation are mostly used to dichotomize into good and poor outcomes. Apart from hemiparesis and impairments in sensation that compromise manual dexterity, speech/language disorders, cognitive deficits, and behavioral problems significantly affect the children’s Education and social opportunities, long term participation and quality of life. Neurorehabilitation is a learning process. In children the focus of rehabilitation is not only recovery of previously learned abilities and compensation for impairments of function but also emphasis is given to the continued acquisition of developmentally appropriate skills.

Several studies have assessed the efficacy of old and recent rehabilitation techniques in swallowing such as thermal stimulation, electrical stimulation, acupuncture, oral strengthening, air pulses, Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
There is strong (Level 1-2) evidence that repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation improves swallowing function post stroke. There is strong (Level 1-2) evidence that transcranial Direct Current Stimulation improves swallowing function post stroke. There is conflicting evidence that electrical stimulation can improve swallowing function post stroke but in the largest study, the use of two co-interventions (ES+therapy) improved swallowing function compared to either of the two interventions given in isolation. There is strong (Level 1) evidence that thermal stimulation does not improve swallowing function post stroke. There is limited (Level 2) evidence that acupuncture and EMG treatment can be used to improve swallowing function post stroke and there is limited evidence that the chin down position, head rotation, and lingual exercises prevent aspiration in approximately 50% of patients who are known aspirators.

Stroke is a leading cause of death in developed and developing countries and a major cause of disability. There are over 17 million strokes each year and six million lives lost to the disease. Every other second, someone has a stroke, regardless of age or gender.
Behind these numbers are real lives.
Despite these shocking statistics, many people affected by stroke are unable to access the treatments, rehabilitation and support that would provide them with the greatest chance of a good recovery and a healthier, more productive and independent life.
The Global Stroke Bill of Rights is an important priority for the World Stroke Organization. These rights identify the aspects of care that are important for ALL stroke survivors and caregivers from across the world.
It is a tool that can be used by individuals and organizations to communicate with stroke care providers and with governments and their agencies about what people affected by stroke think are the most important things in their recovery. Many aspects of care considered important by those affected by stroke, and included in this document, have been shown to reduce death and disability after stroke.
The Stroke Bill of Rights is not a legal document. It is a guide to the elements of stroke care that are important to stroke survivors and care givers to drive to the best possible outcomes and experiences associated with stroke.
The Stroke Bill of Rights was developed by a group of stroke survivors and caregivers from each region of the world. They were supported by a larger group of survivors and caregivers and by thousands more from different countries, cultures and languages who completed surveys to understand if there are any differences in different parts of the world. Their responses demonstrated what is considered to be important in stroke recovery is consistent regardless of where people affected by stroke live.
The issues identified through this process are outlined in the Global Stroke Bill of Rights, listed according to the importance survivors and caregivers placed on them.
We hope it is a useful tool to help improve access to care for people affected by stroke across the globe.
