Executive Function After Yoga: Adults With Acquired Brain Injury-A Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Group-based yoga may improve some aspects of EF for adults with chronic ABI; however, further research with larger sample sizes is needed. Plain-Language Summary: Yoga, an intervention increasingly used in occupational therapy practice, may be beneficial in improving behavioral regulation (an executive function) for adults with acquired brain injury.PMID:38407977 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2024.050403 (Source: The American Journal of Occupational Therapy)

Pre-Implementation Analysis of the Usability and Acceptability of a Poststroke Complex Telehealth Biofeedback Intervention
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Pre-implementation studies can improve the design and relevance of complex telehealth interventions. One major conclusion from this study is the influence of therapy providers on acceptability and usability of complex telehealth interventions. Plain-Language Summary: This study contributes to an emerging body of literature that examines the use of complex telehealth interventions with survivors of neurological injury. The findings highlight the value and support the development and use of complex telehealth interventions, which have the potential to improve remote access to occupational therapy f...

Quantitative EEG for the Monitoring of Walking Recovery in Chronic Stroke Patients Receiving Action Observation Training
J Mot Behav. 2024 Feb 26:1-11. doi: 10.1080/00222895.2024.2320904. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study aimed to evaluate the effects of action observation on the walking ability and oscillatory brain activity of chronic stroke patients. Fourteen chronic stroke patients were allocated randomly to the action observation (AO) or sham observation (SO) groups. Both groups received 12 sessions of intervention. Each session composed of 12 min of observational training, which depicted exercises for the experimental group but nature pictures for the sham group and 40 min of occupational therapy, which was the same for t...
