Associations between stroke severity, aphasia severity, lesion location, and lesion size in acute stroke, and aphasia severity one year post stroke
Døli, Hedda; Helland, Wenche Andersen; Helland, Turid; Næss, Halvor; Hofstad, Håkon; Specht, Karsten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations stroke severity, aphasia severity, lesion location and lesion size in acute stroke, and aphasia severity in the subacute and chronic stages post ... -
Balance and walking after three different models of stroke rehabilitation: early supported discharge in a day unit or at home, and traditional treatment (control)
Gjelsvik, Bente Elisabeth Bassøe; Hofstad, Håkon; Smedal, Tori; Eide, Geir Egil; Næss, Halvor; Skouen, Jan Sture; Frisk, Bente; Daltveit, Silje; Strand, Liv Inger (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-14)Objective: To compare the effects on balance and walking of three models of stroke rehabilitation: early supported discharge with rehabilitation in a day unit or at home, and traditional uncoordinated treatment (control). ... -
Early supported discharge after stroke in Bergen (ESD Stroke Bergen): a randomized controlled trial comparing rehabilitation in a day unit or in the patients’ homes with conventional treatment
Hofstad, Håkon; Næss, Halvor; Moe-Nilssen, Rolf; Skouen, Jan Sture (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10)Rationale: As a result of demographic changes with a presumed rapidly increasing number of older people during the coming decades, a strong increase in the incidence and prevalence of stroke should be expected. Early ... -
Early supported discharge after stroke in Bergen (ESD Stroke Bergen): three and six months results of a randomised controlled trial comparing two early supported discharge schemes with treatment as usual
Hofstad, Håkon; Gjelsvik, Bente Elisabeth Bassøe; Næss, Halvor; Eide, Geir Egil; Skouen, Jan Sture (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-21)Background: Stroke causes lasting disability and the burden of stroke is expected to increase substantially during the next decades. Optimal rehabilitation is therefore mandatory. Early supported discharge (ESD) has ... -
Early Supported Discharge after stroke in Bergen. Effects on functional outcome and outcome predictors studied in a three-armed randomised controlled trial comparing rehabilitation in a day unit and in the patients’ homes with treatment as usual
Hofstad, Håkon (Doctoral thesis, 2015-11-02)Stroke is a leading cause of lasting disability. Also, the numbers of new strokes as well as persons living with functional disability after stroke are expected to increase further during the coming decades. Efficient and ... -

Subjective health complaints predict functional outcome six months after stroke
Hofstad, Håkon; Næss, Halvor; Gjelsvik, Bente E Bassøe; Eide, Geir Egil; Skouen, Jan Sture (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)Objectives: Cerebrovascular stroke is a main cause of lasting disability in older age, and initial stroke severity has been established as a main determinant for the degree of functional loss. In this study, we searched ... -
