overcome barriers to arm use encountered in the natural repertoire of daily activities. We return to this point later in the paper. The only other stroke recovery RCT in the last decade to return positive results was the recent efficacy and safety of very early mobilization within 24 hr of stroke onset

Submovements are hypothesized building blocks of human movement, discrete ballistic movements of which more complex movements are composed. Using a novel algorithm, submovements were extracted from the point-to-point movements of 41 persons recovering from stroke. Analysis of the extracted submovements showed that, over the course of therapy, patients' submovements tended to increase in peak speed and duration. The number of submovements employed to produce a given movement decreased. The time between the peaks of adjacent submovements decreased for inpatients (those less than 1 month post-stroke), but not for outpatients (those greater than 12 months post-stroke) as a group. Submovements became more overlapped for all patients, but more markedly for inpatients. The strength and consistency with which it quantified patients' recovery indicates that analysis of submovement overlap might be a useful tool for measuring learning or other changes in motor behavior in future human movement studies.

Objective:
To describe the current scientific evidence of recovery and return to activity following exertional heat stroke (EHS).
Data Sources:
Information was collected using MEDLINE and SPORTDiscus databases in English using combinations of key words, exertional heat stroke, recovery, rehabilitation, residual symptoms, heat tolerance, return to activity, and heat illness.
Study Selection:
Relevant peer-reviewed, military, and published text materials were reviewed.
Data Extraction:
Inclusion criteria were based on the article’s coverage of return to activity, residual symptoms, or testing for long-term treatment. Fifty-two out of the original 554 sources met these criteria and were included in data synthesis.
Data Synthesis:
The recovery time following EHS is dependent on numerous factors, and recovery length is individually based and largely dependent on the initial care provided.
Conclusion:
Future research should focus on developing a structured return-to-activity strategy following EHS.
