"There is only one motive … fun." Perspectives of participants and providers of physical exercise for people with Parkinson's disease
CONCLUSION: Enjoyment of physical exercise is a key aspect of maintaining physical activity engagement, which should be considered more in research and clinical practice. Developing qualifications for providers could help to broaden and enhance the dissemination of PD-specific exercise approaches. Physicians should be trained to encourage physical exercise.Implications for rehabilitationPhysicians should highlight the benefits and be knowledgeable regarding the availability of physical exercise interventions for people with PD.Additional physical exercise providers should become qualified to work with people with PD.The jo...

Exploring the patient experience and perspectives of taking part in outcome measurement during lower limb prosthetic rehabilitation: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Harnessing the positive impacts of measuring outcomes could be used for motivation, to support adjustment and recovery, to improve communication and to support shared decision-making. This could make outcome measurement more meaningful and patient-centered. However, there may be potential for patients to respond negatively to outcome measures and clinicians should consider their impact on psychosocial factors.PMID:38344909 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2307384 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Monitoring changes in locomotion-related daily life activities in post-stroke patients: the responsiveness of ABILOCO-Benin questionnaire
CONCLUSIONS: ABILOCO-Benin is responsive to changes in adult stroke patients within both acute and chronic phases. Implications for rehabilitationABILOCO-Benin questionnaire is highly responsive to changes in locomotion abilities of stroke patients within both acute (<6 months) and chronic (≥6 months) phases.It can be used in clinical and research practice to track changes in stroke patients after interventions in African settings and beyond.PMID:38346226 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2313120 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Stroke patients' motivation for home-based upper extremity rehabilitation with eHealth tools
CONCLUSION: Eight motivational themes related to the three Basic Psychological Needs describe stroke patients' motivation for home-based upper extremity rehabilitation. We recommend considering those themes when developing a home-based eHealth intervention for stroke patients to increase the alignment of eHealth tools to the patient's needs and reduce motivational decreases in home-based rehabilitation.PMID:38339778 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2304091 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Types and factors affecting and impact of ableism among Asian children and youth with disabilities and their caregivers: a systematic review of quantitative studies
CONCLUSIONS: Our review highlights that ableism has various types and can be influenced by multiple factors, influencing social and health outcomes of Asian families with children and youth with disabilities. This review also emphasizes the importance of increasing the public's awareness regarding disabilities to reduce ableism among Asian families with children with disabilities.PMID:38339994 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310755 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Does follow-up really matter? A convergent mixed methods study exploring follow-up across levels of care in rehabilitation of patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases
CONCLUSIONS: The results provide evidence that access to follow-up care is crucial to patients with RMDs. However, it also highlights several factors that may influence its impact. These results can be used to optimise design and implementation of future follow-up interventions.PMID:38334113 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310170 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Factors related to high-risk movement behaviour in people with stroke who are highly sedentary and inactive
CONCLUSION: Our findings show that people with stroke are unaware of their own movement behaviour or of the consequences of these behaviours on health. Movement behaviour is, for the most part, based on daily routine and personal habits. This indicates the need for a behaviour change intervention. Such interventions will need to include providing information about healthy movement behaviour, feedback on individual's movement behaviour and individualized support, taking into account the social and environmental context and personal capabilities.PMID:38327106 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310751 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based structured exercise program in individuals with unilateral transtibial amputation: a randomized controlled study
CONCLUSIONS: Telerehabilitation combined with home exercise can offer greater benefits in improving gait, muscle strength, balance confidence, activity restriction, prosthesis satisfaction, and quality of life compared to home exercise alone for individuals with transtibial amputation.Implications for rehabilitationExercise helps individuals with lower limb amputation overcome their physical limitations and enables them to use their prostheses effectively.Physiotherapy and rehabilitation after amputation are not at the desired level, and individuals with lower limb amputation encounter various difficulties in accessing phy...

An exploration of person-centredness among emergency department physiotherapists: a mixed methods study
CONCLUSION: ED physiotherapists were mindful of an apparent, yet unspoken struggle between the competing philosophies of biomedicine and person-centredness. The results here support entering a patient's world as a person-centred approach to help navigate the line between what an ED attender wants and the clinical need of their visit.PMID:38329070 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310179 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

The effectiveness of prehabilitation interventions on biopsychosocial and service outcomes pre and post upper gastrointestinal surgery: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Current evidence supports prehabilitation as safe to preserve or improve preoperative function. Heterogeneity in outcomes and variable study quality means definitive conclusions regarding interventions are not yet possible, limiting implementation. Agreement of clinical outcomes and cost effectiveness evaluation is required.PMID:38323587 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2310765 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
