Frailty in a Post-Acute Care Population: A Scoping Review
Publication date: November 2018Source: PM&R, Volume 10, Issue 11Author(s): Pamela S. Roberts, Manoj Goud, Harriet Udin Aronow, Richard V. RiggsAbstractFrailty is a complex and growing phenomenon facing health care providers throughout the continuum of care. Frailty is not well understood in post-acute care (PAC) settings. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize current evidence of frailty impact on outcomes and frailty mitigation initiatives in PAC. Three major publication databases were searched from January 2000 to June 2017 that identified 18 articles specifically addressing frailty in PAC. Three themes were...

Control Mechanisms of Static and Dynamic Balance in Adults With and Without Vestibular Dysfunction in Oculus Virtual Environments
ConclusionVirtual reality paradigms can shed light on the control mechanism of static and dynamic postural control. Clinical utility and implementation of our portable Oculus Rift assessment should be further studied.Level of EvidenceII (Source: PMandR)

Barriers, Facilitators and Interventions to Support Virtual Reality Implementation in Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review
Publication date: November 2018Source: PM&R, Volume 10, Issue 11Author(s): Stephanie Miranda Nadine Glegg, Danielle Elaine LevacAbstractVirtual reality and active video games (VR/AVGs) are promising rehabilitation tools because of their potential to facilitate abundant, motivating, and feedback-rich practice. However, clinical adoption remains low despite a growing evidence base and the recent development of clinically accessible and rehabilitation-specific VR/AVG systems. Given clinicians’ eagerness for resources to support VR/AVG use, a critical need exists for knowledge translation (KT) interventions to facilitate VR/...

PlayBionic: Game-Based Interventions to Encourage Patient Engagement and Performance in Prosthetic Motor Rehabilitation
ConclusionGame-based interventions provide a useful addition to standard EMG training and can achieve better results in clinical outcome measures. The racing and music game genres provide solid starting points for interventions. Further studies can look at a wider range of genres and identify more specific game mechanics suitable for training.Level of EvidenceI (Source: PMandR)

Diminished Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Ability in Adults With Chronic Low Back Pain
ConclusionsIt appears that patients with CLBP have greater difficulty generating visual and kinesthetic motor images compared with asymptomatic participants, and they also need more time to perform these mental tasks.Level of EvidenceII (Source: PMandR)
