<strong>the</strong>rapy: some thoughts about <strong>the</strong>ories<br />
and evidence (34)<br />
Gait retraining post stroke (14) Meta-analyses Meta-analyses of 48 studies on gait rehabilitation.<br />
Evaluation of <strong>the</strong> efficacy of a variety of gait<br />
retraining techniques currently in clinical use,<br />
including strength training, functional electrical<br />
stimulation, treadmill training, partial body-weight<br />
support, EMG biofeedback, and splinting of <strong>the</strong><br />
lower extremity. 48 studies evaluating 6 gait<br />
enhancement techniques were reviewed.<br />
Effect of augmented feedback on<br />
motor function of <strong>the</strong> affected upper<br />
extremity in rehabilitation patients: a<br />
systematic review of randomized<br />
controlled trials (36)<br />
Outcomes of <strong>the</strong> Bobath concept on<br />
upper limb recovery following stroke<br />
(25)<br />
The orthotic effect of functional<br />
electrical stimulation on <strong>the</strong><br />
improvement of walking in stroke<br />
patients with a dropped foot: a<br />
systematic review (37)<br />
Outcomes of progressive resistance<br />
strength training following stroke: a<br />
Systematic review Systematic review of 26 RCT s on <strong>the</strong> effects of<br />
augmented-feedback, i.e. electromyographic<br />
biofeedback, kinetic feedback, kinematic feedback,<br />
or knowledge of results.<br />
Systematic review Systematic review of 8 trials (5 RCT s); period of<br />
search 1966 to 2003.<br />
Systematic review Systematic review of 8 included studies (only one<br />
RCT). Methodological score of <strong>the</strong> studies ranged<br />
from 8 to 18 out of 19.<br />
Systematic review Systematic review of 8 included studies (period of<br />
search, 1966 to 2002).<br />
Medium to low-quality study.<br />
Negative answer to 6 questions of<br />
<strong>the</strong> form. Literature search not<br />
described. No critical appraisal of <strong>the</strong><br />
selected references This may be<br />
acceptable since only a paucity of<br />
study addressed <strong>the</strong> issue of<br />
constraint-induced movement<br />

Cochrane Va form for SRs<br />
Overall medium to good-quality study<br />
that reviews a large number of RCTs.<br />
Literature search procedure and<br />
quality appraisal available in ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
previous paper by <strong>the</strong> same authors<br />
in <strong>the</strong> same journal (35).<br />
However, answers to questions 6 and<br />
7 of <strong>the</strong> form are negative (<strong>the</strong><br />
authors do not address statistical<br />
heterogeneity and do not pool <strong>the</strong><br />
results of <strong>the</strong> studies on <strong>the</strong> same<br />
techniques). Hence, strength of<br />
recommendations available in this<br />
reference must be implemented with<br />
caution.<br />
