Relative and Absolute Reliabilities of the Vertical Numerical Pain Rating Scale With the Face Pain Scale After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the vertical NPRS-FPS is a reliable measure of pain in people with stroke, with good relative and absolute reliabilities. PMID: 24029301 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Further Step to Develop Patient-Friendly Implementation Strategies for Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation in Patients With Acute Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Levels of difficulty and enjoyment during VR-based rehabilitation differed depending on the phases of recovery and training mode. Therefore, graded implementation strategies for VR-based rehabilitation are necessary for overcoming patient-perceived difficulty and enhancing enjoyment. Ease of following the directions might be best considered in the very early stage, whereas multisensory feedback may be more necessary in the later stage. Health professionals should also find a way for patients to avoid pain during training. Feedback, such as knowledge of results and performance, should be used appropriately. ...

A Tablet-Based Tool for Accurate Measurement of Hand Proprioception After Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Both the tablet-based tool and the custom PMDD performed better than manual assessment. The PMDD may be useful when the deficit is mild or assessment of dynamic proprioception is desired. As the tablet-based measure does not have the ceiling effect that is associated with the PMDD, it may be useful with any level of proprioceptive impairment, and may be preferable if testing or clinician training time needs to be minimized, or pain or spasticity is present.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplementary Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A256). ...

Factors Contributing to 50-ft Walking Speed and Observed Ethnic Differences in Older Community-Dwelling Mexican Americans and European Americans.
CONCLUSIONS: WS in older MAs and EAs is influenced by modifiable and non-modifiable factors, underscoring the importance of the DPM framework which incorporates both factors into the physical therapy patient/client management process. PMID: 25592187 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy: overdue to address a nutrition crisis with a transformative population approach
J Phys Ther Sci. 2023 Sep;35(9):645-658. doi: 10.1589/jpts.35.645. Epub 2023 Sep 2.ABSTRACTThis timely evidence synthesis supports the need for an Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy. Given epidemiological and empirical evidence and the profession's values and practice scope, the time has come for a specialty of plant-based physical therapy based on population health principles. This review connects these factors. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are largely nutrition-related resulting from unnatural elements of our diet (i.e., heart disease, several cancers, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, gastrointestinal di...
