Article Abstract
Post-stroke bone fragility is marked by significant early bone mineral density (BMD) loss, especially in the limbs affected by hemiplegia. This condition is driven by reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and physiologic changes that impair bone remodeling. These skeletal changes can contribute to reduced physical function and challenges in recovery. Despite the growing recognition of these complications, screening and treatment for osteoporosis in this population remain inconsistent. Early rehabilitation strategies, including structured physical activity and pharmacologic interventions, offer potential benefits. However, gaps in clinical protocols and limited use of routine screening underscore the need for improved post-stroke bone health management. Future efforts should prioritize timely diagnosis, individualized rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary collaboration to mitigate long-term fracture risk.

Unlabelled: Post-stroke fracture risk necessitates investigation of bone properties and contributing factors. The decline in paretic tibia failure load post-stroke was attributed to decreased trabecular bone density and thickness at 2-year follow-up. Less decline in bone strength was associated with better leg blood flow, walking speed, strength, and activity at baseline.

The immune environment surrounding the brain plays a fundamental role in monitoring signs of injury. Insults, including ischemic stroke, can disrupt this balance and incite an exaggerated inflammatory response, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that the mast-cell-specific receptor Mrgprb2 regulates post-stroke brain inflammation from the meninges.

Oropharyngeal dysphagia in chronic post-stroke (PS-OD) patients is associated with impaired oropharyngeal sensory/motor function. We aimed to evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) on the biomechanics and kinetics of swallowing in PS-OD patients in a randomized controlled clinical trial with 1-year follow-up. 71 PS-OD patients with impaired safety of swallow (ISS) were randomized into 2 groups, (1) 26 with compensatory treatment (CT): thickeners and texture-modified diets, and (2) 45 with active treatment (TES + CT) with 2 cycles of TES (VitalStim; Enovis, USA), at baseline and 6 months.
