Comparisons between group- and individual-based interventions to support recovery from stroke and ischaemic heart disease in the community: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: There is limited evidence comparing interventions delivered in a group and individual modality for adults living with stroke or IHD. Adequately powered studies are needed to determine if mode of delivery is equivalent or more cost effective.PMID:38279793 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2305300 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Perceptions of individuals with Parkinson's disease about a telerehabilitation protocol performed during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Apprehension and fear were present during the implementation of the protocol, however, previous experience with face-to-face physical therapy and the team allowed feelings of happiness, contentment, welcomeness, and satisfaction with the possibility of resuming the activities. The individuals actively participated in the program with commitment and co-responsibility, but the lack of physical contact, limited equipment, and constant concern for the safety and individuality of the participants must be emphasized.PMID:38264886 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2305687 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Defining dignity at the intersection of disability: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: The absence of inclusive research methods hinders the development of a comprehensive definition of dignity that is accepted by and relevant to people with disability. Engaging with both theoretical and empirical perspectives of dignity is crucial to develop a meaningful and inclusive definition, which can inform interventions and policies that enhance dignity for people with disability across diverse settings and contexts.PMID:38265032 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2302582 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

"Coming home was a disaster, I didn't know what was going to happen": a qualitative study of survivors' and family members' experiences of navigating care post-stroke
CONCLUSION: Greater support for patient navigation, and person-centred referral pathways, particularly during times of increased pressure on the system, have the potential to improve access to services and wellbeing among stroke survivors.PMID:38265039 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2303368 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Co-design of an intervention exploring meaning and purpose after spinal cord injury
CONCLUSIONS: The project successfully developed and delivered a novel program that uses the concept of post-traumatic growth to foster a stronger sense of meaning and purpose. Further implementation of the program with larger numbers will allow for evaluation of the program's effectiveness.PMID:38258447 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2300655 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

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)

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)
