Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether patients with stroke retain proportional hemodynamic cortical responses to increasing mechanical loading during upper limb exercise. Design Twelve patients with …
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, with mild TBI (mTBI) accounting for approximately 80% of cases. Complicated mTBI (c-mTBI) is characterized by radiographi…
Background and purpose Prolonged weaning-characterized by failure in three consecutive spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) and requiring over 7 days of mechanical ventilation post-initial SBT-presents a critical clinical…
Background and purpose For people with bronchiectasis, health information, including guidance on physiotherapy management, is readily accessible online. However, the content and quality of web-based resources, and the en…
Background Early mobilization and respiratory muscle training strategies are widely used by physiotherapists to prevent, reduce impairment, and rehabilitate critically ill patients. Guidelines are required to respond to …
Importance Chronic dizziness is common in primary care. Cognitive strategies combined with vestibular rehabilitation (VR) may enhance outcomes, but evidence from randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up is l…
Following lower-limb loss (LLL), more than 50% of adults report multisite pain, that is, pain in two or more distinct sites, which is associated with self-reported activity restriction and higher fall risk. This study ex…
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-delivered pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), focusing on clinical outcomes, adherence, satisfaction, and he…
Aims To evaluate feasibility of remote and in-person Specific Task-Environment-Participation (STEP) Protocol, describe adaptations, and explore effects on gross motor function, participation, environment opportunities, c…
Background Trauma-informed care (TIC) remains inadequately integrated into health professions education despite its clinical relevance, limiting opportunities for graduates to develop the skills necessary to support indi…
Objectives To identify the modalities most commonly used by outpatient physical therapists in the United States for the treatment of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs), determine how frequently those modalities are used, …
Objective Understanding the joint role of stepping intensity and step counts could inform pragmatic step-based physical activity strategies for premature mortality prevention. We examined the joint association of steppin…
ObjectiveTo identify perceived barriers to adhering to a group-based programme combining pain neuroscience education and therapeutic exercise among people with chronic neck pain, and to assess the perceived relative impo…
BackgroundPostural instability contributes to falls and reduced mobility in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The Nijmegen Falls Prevention Program (NFPP) has improved balance and reduced falls in other populations, …
Aim To examine the effects of occupational therapy (OT) interventions on physical, psychosocial, physical activity, and health-related quality of life outcomes in children with cancer. Methods This systematic review and …
Introduction Pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia have been associated with pain severity and pain interference in adults. Older adults have specific beliefs and fears about pain and attentional resources that can affe…
Background Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are widely used after stroke to improve ankle stability, foot clearance, and gait performance. However, their effects on lower-limb muscle activity, spasticity, and psychosocial outc…
Objective To examine the associations of rehabilitation dose, sarcopenia, and nutritional status with functional efficiency after inpatient rehabilitation for first-ever ischemic stroke. Design A single-center retrospect…
Background and aim There are limited clinical trial data examining sex differences in response to non-invasive brain stimulation interventions for language recovery in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The primary ai…
Objective Compare rehabilitation process and outcomes between patients with and without mental health disorders. Design Observational cohort study. Subjects 130 patients receiving post-acute inpatient rehabilitation afte…
Background and purpose Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is well established for post-stroke gait rehabilitation, but its potential effects on psychological and behavioral outcomes are less clear. This study investigat…
Background "Proprioception training" is widely advocated in rehabilitation and sports practice, yet the term encompasses heterogeneous constructs, interventions, and outcomes. Many trials infer proprioceptive benefits fr…
Background This study aims to evaluate and compare the effects of two neurorehabilitation methods-action observation therapy (AOT) and XBOX 360 Kinect™ (XBOX) on upper extremity body structure functions, activity, and fu…
Introduction Manual therapy (MT) is widely recommended for musculoskeletal disorders, yet its biological mechanisms remain poorly synthesized, with existing evidence often aggregating distinct techniques and outcome doma…
Introduction Extrinsic feedback (EF) provides external signals during motor practice to enhance knowledge of performance or results. While EF can improve outcomes after stroke, its relative effects on motor learning vers…
Purpose Robot-assisted lower limb rehabilitation (RALLR) may be an effective adjunct to conventional therapy for those with neurological conditions. Robot-assisted rehabilitation is emerging in Western Australia (WA) and…
Purpose This study examined the effects of smoking status upon pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) entry (current vs never/former) on clinical outcomes of PR using the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehab…
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the dose of post-lung transplantation (LTx) pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and exercise capacity, rehospitalization, and survival in LTx recipients. Method…
