Lifespace and occupational participation following acquired brain injury during driving disruption: a mixed methods study
CONCLUSION: The period of driving disruption following the onset of acquired brain injury is a time of occupational disruption which restricts lifespace, changing how, why, where and with whom participation in community-based occupations occurs. Rehabilitation facilitating occupational adaptation process to enhance community access capacity is indicated.PMID:38592071 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2338192 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

"Stroke - 65 plus. Continued active life." A randomized controlled trial of a self-management neurorehabilitation intervention for elderly people after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: This novel self-management intervention had no significant effect measured by the primary outcome self-efficacy or quality of life. Furthermore, no impact was observed on participation and autonomy compared with usual treatment.Clinical trial registration-URL: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03183960.

Effects of home-based exercise on the health of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials
CONCLUSION: It is necessary to expand the evidence on home-based exercises for fibromyalgia, as this is the first systematic review on the subject. Subsequent research should focus on methodological rigor and protocol detail, allowing findings to be replicated.PMID:38588585 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2337105 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
