Factors influencing satisfaction with prosthetic and orthotic services - a national cross-sectional study in Sweden
CONCLUSIONS: Prosthetic and orthotic users are reasonably satisfied with the services they receive. Attention should be directed towards understanding why prosthetic users are more satisfied than orthotic users and why clients under 65 years report higher satisfaction scores.PMID:38400691 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2319342 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Is the Walking Adaptability Ladder test for Kids (WAL-K) reliable and valid in ambulatory children with Cerebral Palsy?
CONCLUSIONS: The WAL-K shows to be a promising reliable, valid, and easy-to-use tool for assessing walking adaptability in children with CP. Responsiveness to change has yet to be evaluated.PMID:38400694 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2321325 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo without dizziness is common in people presenting to falls clinics
CONCLUSIONS: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is common in people attending falls clinics and contributes to falls risk. Dizziness is common in BPPV though 26% or 1 in 4 people testing positive were not dizzy and would be missed without mandatory testing. Testing should also include all semicircular canals as multiple-canal involvement was high.PMID:38400731 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2320271 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Classifying clinical phenotypes of functional recovery for acute traumatic spinal cord injury. An observational cohort study
CONCLUSION: Acknowledging the presence of four characteristic subgroups of patients with distinct phenotypes of functional recovery based on PPSS, LEMS, and UEMS could be used by clinicians early after tSCI to plan rehabilitation and establish realistic goals. An improved sensory function could be key for potentiating motor gains, as a PPSS ≥ 27 was a predictor of a good function.PMID:38390856 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2320267 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Reasoning about reasoning - using recall to unveil clinical reasoning in stroke rehabilitation teams
CONCLUSIONS: Interprofessional stroke teams consider clinical reasoning as a process valuing patient and next of kin perspectives; however, their professional expertise risks preventing individual needs from surfacing. There is a discrepancy between professionals' intentions for person-centeredness and how clinical reasoning plays out. Stimulated recall can unveil person-centered practice and enhance professionals' awareness of their clinical reasoning.PMID:38392962 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2320263 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

The meaning of adapted ice-skating for children and youths with disabilities
CONCLUSION: The study highlights social and existential dimensions of an adapted ice-skating approach with access to a harness system tailored for children and youths with disabilities, that enables them to be included in ice-skating, regardless of disabilities, creating increased opportunities for physical activity and movement.PMID:38385956 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2317998 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Implementing ward-based practice books to increase the amount of practice completed during inpatient stroke rehabilitation: a mixed-methods process evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: Staff with the necessary skills and understanding of their role in implementing ward practice overcame personal (patient-related) factors and assisted stroke survivors to successfully practice on the ward. To improve success of the intervention, repeated training of new staff is required. In addition to audit and feedback, team action planning is needed around the presence, quality, and use of ward practice books.PMID:38386409 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2315502 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
