A research team at Emory University presents new research at the 2015 AAP Annual Meeting in San Antonio that suggests that early rehabilitation as well as discharges to acute rehabilitation facilities post stroke can improve neurologic outcomes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of introducing a physiatrist into an acute stroke team.
Researchers at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago present a study at AAP 2015 in San Antonio that assessed family members’ expectations of recovery in patients with acute neurological injury and how these beliefs compare to those of the primary physiatrist caring for the patient. No previous studies have described family members’ views of recovery prior to initiation of rehabilitation following acute brain damage and how this may affect caregiver burden, patient outcome and discharge planning.
Triamcinolone and Hyaluronate injections into ZJTs provide similar pain and functional benefits in patients with symptomatic lumbar zygaphophyseal joint arthropathy causing chronic low back pain. Hyaluronate injections provided statistically significant short- and long-term functional benefits and short-term pain improvement but Triamcinolone injections only provided statistically significant short-term functional benefit and no significant short- or long-term pain improvement compared to baseline levels.
A research team from MedStar National Rehabilitation Network presented a pilot study at AAP 2015 in San Antonio that assesses the efficacy of ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections in the non-operative management of acetabular hip labral tears.
A research team from NYU presented a study at AAP 2015 that aims to better understand motor planning deficits post-stroke and to demonstrate the utility of analyzing the kinematics of their reaches under various practice strategies.
The way in which pediatric rehabilitation services are delivered has changed in the last decade, according to research presented this week at the Association of Academic Physiatrists Annual Meeting in Sacramento, Calif.
Ultramarathon runners can expect an approximate five-to-seven-day subjective recovery post race, according to research presented this week at the Association of Academic Physiatrists Annual Meeting in Sacramento, Calif. The study also looked at factors that affect physical recovery and a runner’s ability to return to full running speed after participation in an ultramarathon.
Early rehabilitation following a traumatic spinal cord injury may lead to better functional outcomes for patients at the time of their discharge and in the subsequent year, according to research presented this week at the Association of Academic Physiatrists Annual Meeting in Sacramento, Calif.
Motor skill training using a robotic arm exoskeleton may be beneficial to people suffering from post-stroke weakness affecting an entire side of their body, according to research presented this week at the Association of Academic Physiatrists Annual Meeting in Sacramento, Calif.
