Psychometric properties of neck disability index - a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The NDI demonstrated good internal consistency and test-retest reliability without floor or ceiling effect. In most situations, the NDI could be considered a unidimensional scale. The NDI well correlated with the common scales of pain and disability. The minimal clinically important difference and minimal detectable change were around 15% (7.5/50 points).PMID:38240027 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2304644 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Effects of inpatient rehabilitation after acute care on motor, neuropsychological and behavioral outcomes in children with severe traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSIONS: Analyses of comprehensive outcomes did not show differences between children receiving inpatient rehabilitation and children receiving only non-inpatient rehabilitation, suggesting a need for more research on specific components of the rehabilitation process.PMID:38166467 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2297920 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Predictors of prolonged hospital stay in patients undergoing lung resection
CONCLUSION: Besides the classic outcomes used to calculate surgical risk, the body mass index, respiratory muscle strength, peak expiratory flow, and total lung capacity are predictors of the variation on length of hospital stay in patients submitted to lung resection.PMID:38166526 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2297936 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Experiences of parents of children with corrosive esophageal ingestion: a  qualitative study
CONCLUSION: These findings highlight the importance of identifying and understanding parental experiences. This understanding will also enable healthcare professionals to optimize the parental experience in caring for children with corrosive esophageal ingestion within a holistic clinical service. Understanding the experiences of children with corrosive esophageal ingestion from the parents' perspective identifies opportunities for systematic treatment and care.PMID:38164959 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2295007 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Apathy mediates the association between age and cognition after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Apathy may have a significant impact on the cognitive health of stroke survivors. Therefore, the early identification of apathy symptoms could facilitate consideration of potential interventions, such as multisensory and cognitive stimulation, designed to improve cognitive outcomes in this population.PMID:38153242 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2297921 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Patient experiences of rotator cuff-related shoulder pain and their views on diagnostic shoulder imaging: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Patients commonly believe imaging is needed to formulate a diagnosis. There was minimal concern about potential indirect harms that could arise (e.g., inappropriate diagnosis leading to unnecessary treatments). The context of the diagnostic imaging reports (i.e., what needed to be done) was perceived as more important than the exact meaning of the imaging findings. Patients felt that the diagnostic imaging confirmed their existing biomedical beliefs, and these beliefs were not challenged by their healthcare professionals.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPatients with shoulder pain may believe imaging is necessary...
