Effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based structured exercise program in individuals with unilateral transtibial amputation: a randomized controlled study
CONCLUSIONS: Telerehabilitation combined with home exercise can offer greater benefits in improving gait, muscle strength, balance confidence, activity restriction, prosthesis satisfaction, and quality of life compared to home exercise alone for individuals with transtibial amputation.Implications for rehabilitationExercise helps individuals with lower limb amputation overcome their physical limitations and enables them to use their prostheses effectively.Physiotherapy and rehabilitation after amputation are not at the desired level, and individuals with lower limb amputation encounter various difficulties in accessing phy...

An exploration of person-centredness among emergency department physiotherapists: a mixed methods study
CONCLUSION: ED physiotherapists were mindful of an apparent, yet unspoken struggle between the competing philosophies of biomedicine and person-centredness. The results here support entering a patient's world as a person-centred approach to help navigate the line between what an ED attender wants and the clinical need of their visit.PMID:38329070 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310179 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

The effectiveness of prehabilitation interventions on biopsychosocial and service outcomes pre and post upper gastrointestinal surgery: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Current evidence supports prehabilitation as safe to preserve or improve preoperative function. Heterogeneity in outcomes and variable study quality means definitive conclusions regarding interventions are not yet possible, limiting implementation. Agreement of clinical outcomes and cost effectiveness evaluation is required.PMID:38323587 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310765 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Understanding recovery of people recovering from COVID-19 receiving treatment from primary care allied health professionals: a mixed-methods study
CONCLUSION: Although improvements were reported on almost all outcomes, most participants suffered from persistent complaints. Despite these persistent complaints, many participants reported being better able to cope with persistent complaints because they had decreased substantially in their intensity.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov registry (NCT04735744).PMID:38318773 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2311330 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Longitudinal associations between stroke-related neurologic deficits and course of basic activities of daily living up to six months after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Decreases in dependence in basic ADL occurred mainly over three months after the stroke and showed different patterns for specific ADL. Baseline moderate/severe stroke-related neurological deficits were associated with poor functional status in basic ADL over the follow-up period.PMID:38318868 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2313124 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Return to work policies and practices after total hip or knee arthroplasty in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands: an exploratory study
CONCLUSION: We found considerable variation in healthcare and social security systems. When available, national guidelines contained limited information. In all three countries surgeons need more knowledge and better collaboration with other healthcare practitioners. We advise that RTW multidisciplinary recommendations post THA/TKA be established by the national associations of the healthcare practitioners involved.PMID:38314658 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2304084 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
