Psychological constructs from the Fear Avoidance Model and Beyond as predictors for persisting symptoms after concussion: An integrative review
Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury, refers to the transient alteration of neurological function caused by a sudden, biomechanically applied force to the head or body. In the United States, it is estimated that 4 million concussions occur each year with as many as 50% of cases unreported.1 Although the majority of patients fully recover within the first several weeks of injury, 10-30% of individuals experience persisting symptoms after concussion (PSaC) and report impairments months to years post-injury that often require continued rehabilitation.

Charles Bonnet Syndrome: Clinician Screening Tips and Strategies for Symptom Management
Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS)1 is a condition that manifests as visual hallucinations (VHs) because of progressive or sudden damage along the visual pathway.2 CBS can occur due to multiple causes of complete or partial vision loss.3 Vision impairments known to be associated with the development of CBS include, but are not limited to, age-related macular degeneration,1,2,4 glaucoma,5 and diabetic retinopathy.5,6 Additionally, damage to the retrochiasmal visual pathways, as seen in stroke or cerebral hemorrhage, may result in hallucinations that are restricted to the hemianopic or quadrantanopic visual fields.

The Effect of Computerized Wobble Board and Core Stabilization Exercises on Balance Performance and Exercise Capacity in Patients with Heart Failure: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome with a multifactorial etiology resulting in increased intracardiac pressures and/or inadequate cardiac output as a result of structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality 1. Exercise intolerance along with dyspnea and fatigue are the cardinal symptoms of HF and are closely related to prognosis 2. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Letter to the Editor on “A Single Dermatome Clinical Prediction Rule for Independent Walking 1 Year After Spinal Cord Injury”
This study evaluated the use of a single dermatome as a valuable clinical tool to predict independent walking one year after traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI). While the study is recommendable for its effort to address a challenging yet clinically important question, several aspects merit further attention and exploration by the authors.

Response to Letter to the Editor on “A single dermatome clinical prediction rule for independent walking one year after spinal cord injury.”
We wish to thank Dr. Chen for the acknowledgement on the importance of this topic and our collective efforts to address it. We sincerely hope that our work will help inform clinicians during the challenging task of predicting future function in patients following traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). While admittedly not perfect, we believe a major strength in our tool lies in its simplicity. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

NIDILRR ARRT Fellows Symposium: A Model-free Reinforcement Learning-based Control Approach to Provide Personalized Assistance for People with Stroke
Powered exoskeletons are promising devices to improve the walking patterns of people with neurological impairments. However, providing optimal personalized external assistance is challenging due to modeling uncertainties and time-varying human-robot interaction. We propose a model-free reinforcement learning (RL)-based hierarchical control framework to provide adaptive and optimal personalized exoskeleton assistance, to achieve a normative range of motion (ROM) on the affected hip joint for individuals with stroke during walking.
