Training paid carers has a positive effect on improving conversational interactions with people with TBI in a long-term care facility. These improvements can help to foster increased independence for the person with TBI in the home and community.
Severe other joint disease and obesity are associated with poorer recovery after surgery. Clinician and patient expectations, rehabilitation, and benchmarking can be guided by these findings.
The finding that early knee range predicts longer-term range provides clinical evidence favouring the relevance of discharge knee ROM as a clinical indicator. Although longer-term patient-reported knee pain and function were not directly associated with discharge knee ROM, they were associated with ROM when measured concurrently in the sub-acute phase. No causal effect has been demonstrated, but the findings suggest it may be important for physiotherapists to maximize range in the early and sub-acute periods.
Reasonable levels of agreement between actual clinical reporting and test set conditions can be achieved, although inflated sensitivity may be evident with test set conditions.
Australia has a multicultural population and yet the normal ranges defined for many obstetric investigations do not adjust for ethnicity. The application of values derived from a Caucasian population to other ethnic populations may be inappropriate and conceal important pathologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
