Perspectives of wheelchair users with chronic spinal cord injury following a walking program using a wearable robotic exoskeleton
CONCLUSION: This is the first study in which WUSCI report that the WRE should be implemented in initial rehabilitation. Lack of availability for community use after rehabilitation remains a concern.PMID:38357879 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2317994 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

The effectiveness of different types of acupuncture to reduce symptoms and disability for patients with orofacial pain. A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The overall results in this review should be interpreted with caution as there was a high risk of bias across the majority of randomized controlled trial (RCTs), and the overall certainty of the evidence was very low. Therefore, future studies with high-quality RCTs are warranted evaluating the use of acupuncture in patients with orofacial pain.PMID:38357796 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310766 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Barriers and facilitators for physical fitness training in orthopedic geriatric rehabilitation. A qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: The barriers and facilitators found largely correspond with those found for participation in exercise in related settings, but also show important differences. This overview of barriers and facilitators enables multidisciplinary teams to design improvements at the level of the organization and interventions, as well as at the level of the individual training program, tailoring it to the patient's circumstances and needs. Further research should focus on weighing these barriers and facilitators to develop a feasible guidance for daily practice, as well as testing their effect on the adherence to existing physic...

Transforming research systems for meaningful engagement: a reflexive thematic analysis of spinal cord injury researchers' barriers and facilitators to using the integrated knowledge translation guiding principles
CONCLUSIONS: Supporting change that enables SCI researchers to adopt and implement the IKT Guiding Principles will require transformation at the individual (theme 1), relational (theme 2), and institutional levels (theme 3). Findings provide clear, practical, and tangible actions to promote change that can support meaningful engagement in the SCI Research System.PMID:38353259 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310171 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

"There is only one motive … fun." Perspectives of participants and providers of physical exercise for people with Parkinson's disease
CONCLUSION: Enjoyment of physical exercise is a key aspect of maintaining physical activity engagement, which should be considered more in research and clinical practice. Developing qualifications for providers could help to broaden and enhance the dissemination of PD-specific exercise approaches. Physicians should be trained to encourage physical exercise.Implications for rehabilitationPhysicians should highlight the benefits and be knowledgeable regarding the availability of physical exercise interventions for people with PD.Additional physical exercise providers should become qualified to work with people with PD.The jo...

Exploring the patient experience and perspectives of taking part in outcome measurement during lower limb prosthetic rehabilitation: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Harnessing the positive impacts of measuring outcomes could be used for motivation, to support adjustment and recovery, to improve communication and to support shared decision-making. This could make outcome measurement more meaningful and patient-centered. However, there may be potential for patients to respond negatively to outcome measures and clinicians should consider their impact on psychosocial factors.PMID:38344909 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2307384 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Stroke patients' motivation for home-based upper extremity rehabilitation with eHealth tools
CONCLUSION: Eight motivational themes related to the three Basic Psychological Needs describe stroke patients' motivation for home-based upper extremity rehabilitation. We recommend considering those themes when developing a home-based eHealth intervention for stroke patients to increase the alignment of eHealth tools to the patient's needs and reduce motivational decreases in home-based rehabilitation.PMID:38339778 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2304091 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
