Identified factors are described and presented according to the domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health model.</div></div><div><h3>Data Synthesis</h3><div>Thirty-seven factors related to relationship quality after stroke were identified, covering the domains of body functions and structures (eg, cognitive problems), activities (eg, decrease in physical intimacy), participation (eg, being socially active), environment (eg, medication side effects), and personal factors (eg, hypervigilance). Eight factors related to relationship stability were identified, covering the domains of participation (agreement on reciprocal roles) and personal factors (eg, quality of prestroke relation).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Relationship quality and stability after stroke are related to a multitude of factors. Future research should confirm the relevance of factors found in a few studies of suboptimal quality; explore possible associations between relationship stability and factors falling in the domains of body functions and structure, activity, and environmental factors; and explicitly explore potential positive effects of stroke on relationships.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8313,"journal":{"name":"Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation","volume":"106 2","pages":"Pages 255-268"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141079977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Validity of total FOG severity tool time, time taken to complete its turning and narrow-space components (i.e., time to navigate [TTN]), and an adjusted TTN were examined through correlations with validated FOG severity outcomes.
