This qualitative study reveals empowerment as central to promoting safer mobility in Parkinson’s disease, emphasizing individualized, contextual, and collaborative strategies for fall prevention.
A cross-sectional study used latent profile analysis to identify distinct quality of life outcome profiles in rehabilitation patients with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and limb injuries, highlighting heterogeneous pat
Study reveals disparities in home and outpatient rehabilitation access among older adults after traumatic brain injury, influenced by clinical needs and non-clinical factors such as ethnicity and rural residency.
A new machine learning model predicts post-rehabilitation walking ability in nontraumatic spinal cord injury patients with high accuracy, aiding early clinical decision-making and rehabilitation planning.
Quadriceps strength recovery after ACL reconstruction exhibits three distinct trajectories linked to preoperative strength and meniscectomy status, yet these trajectories do not correlate with postoperative clinical outcomes at one year.
Early postoperative quadriceps strength symmetry strongly predicts patient-reported knee function and satisfaction two years after quadriceps tendon autograft ACL reconstruction, highlighting its role in guiding rehabilitation and assessing
A 6-month longitudinal study identifies younger age, higher resilience, and better health literacy as key predictors of functional ability improvement in traumatic spinal cord injury patients, highlighting targets for tailored rehabilitatio
A randomized trial found that individualized swimming combined with education improves disability in chronic low back pain patients more than education alone, with benefits evident at 8 weeks but not sustained at 1 year.
A novel marker-based optical motion capture system demonstrates excellent reliability and validity in measuring upper limb joint range of motion in burn injury patients, offering a promising objective alternative to conventional goniometers
Physiotherapist-supervised exercise therapy combined with education significantly enhances knee function and muscle strength in young adults with persistent knee issues post-ACL reconstruction, with benefits lasting up to 12 months.
This study explores rehabilitation initiation, progression, and physical activity levels in adult ECMO patients, highlighting early active rehabilitation feasibility and varied activity trajectories based on clinical goals.
A modified Delphi study reached regional consensus on the most important outcomes and measurement tools for pediatric stroke rehabilitation, highlighting practical ways to standardize care and research across Australasia.
Older stroke patients treated in rural hospitals received less inpatient rehabilitation and more skilled nursing facility care than urban patients, with fewer days at home over 1 year but similar overall mortality.
A long-term stroke study found that cognition improves most within 6 months, with memory and language recovering better than executive function. Early cognitive impairment was the strongest predictor of outcomes years later.
A structured exercise program combining mobility therapy and resistance training in ECMO patients proved feasible and safe, with longer session times correlating with better functional performance.
A randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a 3-month standardized neck and orofacial rehabilitation program significantly improves swallowing-related quality of life and functional recovery in post-thyroidectomy patients, effectively a
The RESTORE trial’s 3-year follow-up reveals that Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) provides sustained reductions in disability and pain for chronic low back pain compared to usual care, offering a transformative, evidence-based appr
Systematic review evidence suggests manual therapy with exercise moderately improves function and reduces pain in chronic neck pain compared with no treatment; benefits versus placebo are less clear, highlighting need for further trials and
A 2025 systematic review finds low energy availability (LEA) is associated with impaired neuromusculoskeletal training responses—reduced gains in lean mass and function and consistent deficits in strength, cellular markers and subjective re
This study highlights how long-term unmet needs and rehabilitation deficits adversely affect the quality of life among stroke survivors in South Korea, emphasizing the need for community-based support systems.
