Does Wait Time During Acute Care for Transfer to Rehabilitation Admission Impact the Outcomes After a Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury?: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions Wait time up to 29 days may have no impact on the inpatient functional rehabilitation length of stay nor functional outcome after traumatic spinal cord injury. However, additional resources and/or prioritization should be considered for vulnerable subgroups. (Source: American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Examining the Relationship Between Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries and Development of Mental Illness Disorders in a Mid-Term Follow-up Period
Conclusions The mechanism between concussions and mental illness remains unclear. A large proportion of patients who experience a concussion are later diagnosed with a mental illness within 3 yrs. Patients with a history of a previous concussion may benefit from screening for the development of a mental illness. (Source: American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Competency Assessment in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Resident Education: A Systematic Review
Conclusions Available research is highly concentrated in patient care and medical knowledge competencies and in the musculoskeletal and pain medicine content category. This systematic review outlines the current state of education literature and highlights areas for further inquiry. This is an important step toward the translation of research into evidence-based educational practices. (Source: American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

African Americans and Women Have Lower Functional Gains During Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation After Hemorrhagic Stroke
Conclusions The results of our study indicate that Functional Independence Measure efficiency was worse for African Americans and female patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Future research should consider these racial and sex disparities and focus on providing targeted rehabilitation therapy. (Source: American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Versus Anatomic Landmark–Guided Corticosteroid Injection on Pain, Physical Function, and Safety in Patients With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusions Ultrasound-guided injection of corticosteroids is potentially superior to anatomic landmark–guided injection in improving the clinical symptoms of subacromial impingement syndrome; however, these findings should be interpreted with some caution as the quality of evidence was rated as moderate to very low.

EURO-MUSCULUS/USPRM Dynamic Ultrasound Protocols for (Adult) Hip
In this dynamic scanning protocol, ultrasound assessment of the adult hip is described using different maneuvers for various conditions. Real-time patient examination and ultrasound scanning videos are coupled for convenience as well as for better insight. The text covers the common conditions around the hip where especially dynamic ultrasound scanning provides valuable information in addition to static imaging. The protocol is prepared by an international consensus of several experts in the field of musculoskeletal ultrasound. (Source: American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Single-Dose Radiation Therapy Without Additional Surgery as a Treatment for Heterotopic Ossification Developing After Transfemoral Amputation
Heterotopic ossification is the development of mature lamellar bone in soft tissues. Heterotopic ossification can occur in up to 23% of patients after amputation. Heterotopic ossification is often painful, causing significant dysfunction. While radiotherapy is used to prevent heterotopic ossification before formation, there is a dearth of literature on using radiotherapy to treat existing heterotopic ossification. This case report describes the use of late radiotherapy for the management of existing heterotopic ossification that developed after a transfemoral amputation. A 61-yr-old woman with peripheral artery disease of ...

Pregnancy After Amputation: A Systematic Review of Pregnancy Experiences for Women With Lower Extremity Amputations
Pregnancy could affect the mobility of women with lower extremity limb loss, deficiency, or amputations. The aim of this systematic review was to characterize the pregnancy-related experiences, including prosthesis, gait aid, and mobility outcomes, of women with lower extremity limb loss, deficiency, or amputations. MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase databases were searched for all relevant English-language articles describing pregnancy experiences of women with lower extremity limb loss, deficiency, or amputations. Data extracted were age, amputation level and etiology, obstetrical history, prosthesis and/or gait aid use before,...

Effects of Exercise Mode on Improving Cardiovascular Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Bariatric Surgery: A Narrative Review
Obesity affects 600 million people globally and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Bariatric surgery is an increasingly popular therapeutic intervention for morbid obesity to induce rapid weight loss and reduce obesity-related comorbidities. However, some bariatric surgery patients, after what is considered a successful surgical procedure, continue to manifest obesity-related health issues, including weight gain, reduced physical function, persistent elevations in blood pressure, and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness. Cardiorespiratory fitness is a strong predictor of mor...
