Hamstring spasticity assessment: does the hip flexion angle impact outcomes?
CONCLUSIONS: Completing hamstring assessments in 40° hip flexion may reduce the passive insufficiency and improve the ecological validity of assessment, for walking. This may assist in the selection of patients requiring intervention, when their goal relates to walking.PMID:38100372 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2293991 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Considerations when asking about "disability" in disability inclusive research
CONCLUSION: Researchers involved in disability and rehabilitation research should be aware that there is not one best or singular way to ask about disability when conducting research. The approach or approaches chosen for a particular study need to match the purpose of the study. It is important that researchers take time to carefully consider their options and choose the best fit for their study.PMID:38095550 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2291732 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Self-efficacy and resilience in severe aphasia - an exploratory cross-sectional study of two psychosocial factors and their relation to functional communication
CONCLUSIONS: People with severe aphasia have decreased self-efficacy and resilience compared to general populations, but not necessarily in proportion to their language impairment. Among participants with relatively spared executive functions there were indications of an association between self-efficacy, resilience and functional communication.PMID:38088335 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2292270 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
