An explorative, cross-sectional study into abnormal muscular coupling during reach in chronic stroke patientsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The present findings suggest that in mildly and moderately affected chronic stroke patients ADL-like arm movements are not substantially affected by abnormal synergistic coupling. In this case, it is implied that other major contributors to limitations in functional use of the arm should be identified and targeted individually in rehabilitation, to improve use of the arm in activities of daily living.

Work ability - experiences and perceptions among physicians.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. We found that physicians mainly rely on what patients were telling about their work situation when assessing work ability. But it was not clear if they should consider the patient's whole life situation, motivation and wishes. Protecting the physician-patient relationship was seen as important as well as the need for teamwork assessments and increased work place knowledge.

Sustaining employment after vocational rehabilitation in acquired brain injury.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Similarities between pre-injury work or leisure interests and post-injury work improved motivation. Factors associated with sustained employment were insightful, unconditional, internal motivation providing an ability to cope, confidence provided by ongoing vocational rehabilitation support through job coaches, supportive co-workers and employers with a personal experience of disability. People with ABI can be outstanding employees. PMID: 20230252 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Self-adaptive robot training of stroke survivors for continuous tracking movementsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The experiments provide detailed information about the stability and robustness of the adaptive controller of robot assistance that could be quite relevant for the design of future large scale controlled clinical trials. Moreover, the study suggests that including continuous movement in the repertoire of training is acceptable also by rather severely impaired subjects and confirms the stabilizing effect of alternating vision/no vision trials already found in previous studies.

Pathways of change experienced by people aging with disability: a focus group study.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. The process of aging with disability was characterised by multiple pathways. Some, including positive psychosocial adjustment and medical advancements, were favourable, while others, including physical decline, were not. The co-existence of high quality of life in the presence of physical decline is consistent with a larger literature in older adults, and future research should focus on identifying aging factors that may contribute to the buffering the psychological impact of physical decline.

USA paralympic team archer with McCune Albright Syndrome: A retrospective case report.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Target archery does not require the lower extremity strength and motion required by many other sports. Identifying the ideal time to undergo total hip arthroplasty is difficult. As total hip arthroplasty becomes less invasive, more durable, with greater modular options, and with lower revision rates, more young patients will likely benefit. Serial SF-36 and HOOS surveys may help patients and surgeons better delineate symptom, functional limitation and disability changes across the early lifespan assisting surgical timing decisions while balancing existing function, quality of life values and near future techno...

Conclusions. The results showed that left-hemiplegic children with cerebral palsy whose right sides were dominant were significantly less competent at handwriting than their right-dominant, healthy peers. It was found that the impairment in proprioception seen in the non-hemiplegic side in children with cerebral palsy, and also the impairment in bilateral coordination, speed and dexterity of the upper extremities, visual and spatial perception, visual-motor organization, and tactile-sensory impairments negatively affected their handwriting skills. In the treatment approaches for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, com...

We describe a patient affected by severe incomplete locked-in syndrome (LIS) and left neglect caused by a combination of vascular lesions. Our patient's neglect prevented the use of augmentative communication devices based on a computerized eye-tracker system. For this reason, we adapted a visual scanning training for neglect rehabilitation. At the end of the rehabilitative training, the patient had regained full exploration of the monitor and could use the eye-tracker system for communicative purposes. This case report shows that specific rehabilitative approaches can be devised in severely disabled LIS patients with addi...
