Cognitive impairment, anxiety and depression: a map of Cochrane evidence relevant to rehabilitation for people with post COVID-19 condition
CONCLUSIONS: These results are the first step of indirect evidence able to generate helpful hypotheses for clinical practice and future research. They served as the basis for the three recommendations on treatments for these PCC symptoms published in the current WHO Guidelines for clinical practice.PMID:36534008 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.22.07813-3

Effect of gait distance during robot training on walking independence after acute brain injury
This study aimed to determine whether the distance of gait training using a hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is related to the improvement of walking independence in patients with acute brain injury. This was an exploratory, observational study. Thirty patients having hemiplegia (functional ambulation category, FAC score ≤ 2) with acute stroke or after brain tumor surgery were included. Patients performed 4 sessions of gait training using HAL (60 min/session), 1-3 sessions/week, combined with conventional physical therapy. The gait distance achieved in the four training sessions using HAL was measured. FAC score was measured ...

Rehabilitation of Adult Patients with Primary Brain Tumors
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo review the medical complications and functional impairments of primary brain tumor survivors and the role of rehabilitation medicine in survivorship care.Recent FindingsPrimary brain tumors share many similar symptoms and functional impairments with stroke and traumatic brain injury. A call for the inclusion of rehabilitation services as part of neuro-oncological care can improve outcomes from patients with PBT to meet the rehabilitative and supportive care needs of the patient with PBT and their caregivers.SummaryFurther studies on the impact of both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation serv...

Return to Work for People With Aphasia
Right now, about 2.5 million people in the United States are living with aphasia after stroke.1 Aphasia can make it difficult to talk, listen, read, and/or write. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it can also happen after a traumatic brain injury (eg, blow to the head), a brain tumor, brain infection, or a neurodegenerative disease (eg, Alzheimer's dementia).2 Many people with aphasia are of working age, and this number is going up as more young people in the United States are sustaining stroke.

Supportive Communication for Individuals with Aphasia
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Aphasia is most commonly caused by a stroke or injury to the left side of the brain. Brain tumors and other neurologic diseases can also cause aphasia. Because of language impairments, individuals with aphasia struggle to participate in daily life activities involving communication in health care settings, at home, or in their community.1 People with aphasia and their communication partners can use supportive strategies to help them communicate in daily life.

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Supplements
The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) offers an opportunity for members to be the guest editor of a Supplement to its journal, the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Archives). The goal of the ACRM supplements is to publish high quality scientific manuscripts, which are thematically organized and of interest to ACRM members and to the general readership of the Archives. We are interested in proposals in all fields of rehabilitation, but especially those of interest to the ACRM membership as indicated by the existence of special interest and networking groups for brain injury, spinal cord in...
