Does aphasia impact on return to driving after stroke? A scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: The current evidence base is limited, inconsistent, and lacking in quality and recency and there is a lack of guidelines to support clinical practice. People with aphasia face barriers in returning to driving; however, it is unclear if aphasia affects fitness-to-drive post-stroke. Implications for rehabilitationPeople with aphasia, their caregivers and clinicians have identified return to driving as a top 10 research priority.We do not know if aphasia affects fitness-to-drive post-stroke, but communication difficulties can make the process of returning to driving more difficult.Speech pathologists have an impo...

Psychosocial and vocational impact of an internship program for people diagnosed with severe mental illnesses
CONCLUSIONS: Though results were positive, extension of internship length and provision of more intensive counselling for participants may be useful.PMID:38410839 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2319725 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Development, validity and reliability of patient perception of scoliosis-specific physiotherapy (physio-is) questionnaire
CONCLUSION: The Physio-IS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing AIS patients undergoing PSSE and helping physiotherapists identify aspects requiring more attention, thus facilitating intervention strategies, as knowing the patient's perception of their condition or treatment is fundamental to AIS treatment success.PMID:38411124 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2322040 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Disparities in access but not outcomes: Medicaid versus non-Medicaid patients in multidisciplinary chronic pain rehabilitation
Conclusions: Results suggest that pain rehabilitation is as effective for Medicaid recipients as non-Medicaid recipients. Patients with Medicaid are particularly vulnerable to disparities in treatment, so efforts to expand access to multidisciplinary pain treatments are warranted.PMID:38411127 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2321326 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Outpatient rehabilitation in post-acute COVID-19 patients: a combined progressive treatment protocol
CONCLUSIONS: results evidenced the efficacy of the combined progressive intervention in COVID-19 recovered patients. The specific customization on patients' needs and the careful exercise monitoring promoted improvements on functional abilities and disability status, with positive impact on QoL.PMID:38407196 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2316797 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

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)
