Advances in nursing care for post-stroke limb dysfunction rehabilitation.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Stroke-induced limb dysfunction has a significant impact on patients' functional independence and quality of life. While rehabilitation efficacy depends largely on patient motivation, psychological factors often impede treatment adherence and functional recovery. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on psychological factors affecting rehabilitation motivation, assessment tools, and evidence-based interventions for stroke patients with limb dysfunction. Psychological barriers, including kinesiophobia, diminished self-efficacy, perceived burden, and inadequate social support, significantly predict rehabilitation outcomes. Clinically validated assessment tools demonstrate variable utility across recovery phases, with the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale offering efficiency in acute settings and the Motivation in Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation Scale providing comprehensive evaluation during subacute and chronic phases. Evidence supports multimodal intervention strategies that combine psychological approaches (such as motivational interviewing) with technological innovations (virtual reality, game-based therapy, wearable devices). Clinical implementation should prioritize early psychological screening within 72 h of admission, followed by integrated assessment protocols combining clinician-rated and self-report measures. Furthermore, personalized motivation enhancement protocols tailored to patients' cognitive status and recovery phase, along with robust interdisciplinary collaboration between rehabilitation nurses, physical therapists, and psychologists, are essential. Ultimately, this integrated approach optimizes rehabilitation outcomes by comprehensively addressing both physical and psychological dimensions of stroke recovery. In the future, studies should emphasize multidimensional analyses that incorporate individual patient characteristics to develop precise rehabilitation interventions, thereby proposing new strategies for optimizing functional recovery in stroke survivors.
