Disability after stroke is a major burden on society, due to its high incidence and prevalence. Among the priorities of rehabilitation programs, stroke rehabilitation aims to regain independence and improve patients’ quality of life. Dynamic balance, falls prevention and upper limb recovery are essential features for the clinical management of hemiparetic patients. To optimize movement recovery after stroke, it is essential to select multilevel outcome measures for interpretation of motor recovery and clinical decision-making. In this context, the assessment of movement by means of quantitative movement analysis in hemiparetic post-stroke patients is key to planning rehabilitative intervention. Kinematic analysis facilitates interpreting the extent and mechanisms of motor restoration, and it has been increasingly applied in neurological research.
In many Western societies, there has been a tremendous increase in family diversity over the course of the past few decades, resulting in a considerable prevalence of non-traditional family forms. The increased instability of marital and non-marital unions entails new challenges for both parents and children. In this special issue, family studies scholars from different disciplines examine from a life course perspective how re-partnering processes work and how family relationships are rearranged in order to adapt to the altered needs and requirements of post-separation family life.
