A scoping review of cane use in people who have had a stroke.
BACKGROUND: Various types of canes are frequently utilised in stroke rehabilitation to support walking ability by compensating for hemiplegic gait. However, Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) design varies considerably in the area of cane use following stroke and there is no scoping review published...

However, Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) design varies considerably in the area of cane use following stroke and there is no scoping review published to date on this topic. Thus, it is crucial for better evidence informed clinical care and future research that RCT evidence regarding specific assistive walking devices is examined. OBJECTIVES: Identify and map the types of canes that currently exist and review their impact on the rehabilitation of functional mobility post-stroke. METHOD: The following databases were searched: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and CINAHL in Ebsco. Two authors independently screened 425 titles, identifying 16 RCT studies for inclusion in the review. RESULTS: 16 studies were selected for review. Five different cane designs were identified, including one-point cane, three-point cane, quad cane, weight-supported feedback cane, and rolling cane. Twelve studies were crossover RCT and four were parallel RCT. Stroke phase varied widely among subjects included in the studies and outcome measures utilised and resultant findings are heterogeneous. CONCLUSION: More evidence is required to clearly indicate the effect of canes on people who have had a stroke and parallel long-term RCTs with follow-up assessment are lacking. Furthermore, there is a lack of research examining variations in new cane designs that specifically target motor function in people who have had a stroke at specific stages. Future research should aim to address the identified inconsistencies and knowledge gaps to facilitate novel and evidence-informed clinical care regarding assistive walking devices for post stroke rehabilitation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
