Compositional associations between movement-related behaviours and functional outcomes post-stroke
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the importance of considering movement-related behaviours in relation to functional outcomes post-stroke. Reallocating at least 30 min per day to stepping, relative to a reduction in other movement-related behaviours, is associated with significant and meaningful change in functional outcomes.PMID:38372048 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2317995 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Exploring the experiences of an exercise-based telerehabilitation program among Canadian community-dwelling adults with stroke
CONCLUSION: Exercise-based telerehabilitation appears to be well-received by men and women post-stroke when social support, professional guidance, and program resources are offered. TRAIL may also prolong the continuum of care that individuals receive once they are discharged back into the community, and contribute to improvements in mobility, lower extremity strength and balance.PMID:38361375 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2316772 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Clinical application of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: There is growing evidence for taVNS therapeutic effect. taVNS appears safe and tolerable. Sham protocols need evaluation. Standardised and comprehensive reporting of both stimulation parameters and adverse events is required. Two different questionnaires have been proposed to evaluate adverse events and the effectiveness of sham methods in blinding participants.PMID:38362860 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2313123 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

The effectiveness of different types of acupuncture to reduce symptoms and disability for patients with orofacial pain. A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The overall results in this review should be interpreted with caution as there was a high risk of bias across the majority of randomized controlled trial (RCTs), and the overall certainty of the evidence was very low. Therefore, future studies with high-quality RCTs are warranted evaluating the use of acupuncture in patients with orofacial pain.PMID:38357796 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310766 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Barriers and facilitators for physical fitness training in orthopedic geriatric rehabilitation. A qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: The barriers and facilitators found largely correspond with those found for participation in exercise in related settings, but also show important differences. This overview of barriers and facilitators enables multidisciplinary teams to design improvements at the level of the organization and interventions, as well as at the level of the individual training program, tailoring it to the patient's circumstances and needs. Further research should focus on weighing these barriers and facilitators to develop a feasible guidance for daily practice, as well as testing their effect on the adherence to existing physic...
