The effect of deep brain stimulation on lower extremity dexterity in people with Parkinson's disease
CONCLUSIONS: DBS has a positive effect on lower extremity dexterity. Clinical characteristics such as age and LEDD and the effect of DBS on bradykinesia, walking with turning, curved walking, and backward walking is related with the effect of DBS on lower extremity dexterity.PMID:38375675 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2317997 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

A joint venture: patients' experiences with goal setting in rheumatology rehabilitation - a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Goal setting is perceived as a challenge by some patients. Participation in goal setting depends on both the capacity and the opportunity to participate which are factors linked to patients' level of health literacy.PMID:38375771 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2313122 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Compositional associations between movement-related behaviours and functional outcomes post-stroke
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the importance of considering movement-related behaviours in relation to functional outcomes post-stroke. Reallocating at least 30 min per day to stepping, relative to a reduction in other movement-related behaviours, is associated with significant and meaningful change in functional outcomes.PMID:38372048 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2317995 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Exploring the experiences of an exercise-based telerehabilitation program among Canadian community-dwelling adults with stroke
CONCLUSION: Exercise-based telerehabilitation appears to be well-received by men and women post-stroke when social support, professional guidance, and program resources are offered. TRAIL may also prolong the continuum of care that individuals receive once they are discharged back into the community, and contribute to improvements in mobility, lower extremity strength and balance.PMID:38361375 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2316772 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Clinical application of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: There is growing evidence for taVNS therapeutic effect. taVNS appears safe and tolerable. Sham protocols need evaluation. Standardised and comprehensive reporting of both stimulation parameters and adverse events is required. Two different questionnaires have been proposed to evaluate adverse events and the effectiveness of sham methods in blinding participants.PMID:38362860 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2313123 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
