Factors Influencing Physicians' Referral Decision-Making for Rehabilitation Outpatient Services in the Health Care Landscape of China: Cross-Sectional Study

Factors Influencing Physicians' Referral Decision-Making for Rehabilitation Outpatient Services in the Health Care Landscape of China: Cross-Sectional Study

Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing Chinese rehabilitation physicians’ referral decisions for outpatient rehabilitation patients, with the findings expected to provide preliminary insights for optimizing referral processes in China’s rehabilitation system or similar health care systems worldwide. The decision to focus specifically on outpatient rehabilitation patients was driven by the unique referral challenges and service demands associated with this population.

Reducing Methamphetamine Use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities With the “We Can Do This” Web App: Qualitative Evaluation of Acceptability and Feasibility

Reducing Methamphetamine Use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities With the “We Can Do This” Web App: Qualitative Evaluation of Acceptability and Feasibility

This study sought to understand the acceptability and feasibility of the web application when used in the context of primary health care and residential rehabilitation services, as opposed to when used as a self-directed intervention in the community. This study is framed within an Indigenous research paradigm [20].

Improved Speech Recognition in Adults With Conductive or Mixed Hearing Loss Using a Direct-to-Consumer Bone-Conduction Device: A Multiple Methods Intervention Study

Improved Speech Recognition in Adults With Conductive or Mixed Hearing Loss Using a Direct-to-Consumer Bone-Conduction Device: A Multiple Methods Intervention Study

Previous pilot studies have shown benefit from a low-cost direct-to-consumer external bone conduction headset supplied by "Raspberry Pi Foundation” (Cambridge, United Kingdom) for rehabilitation of children with glue ear [24].

A Virtual Reality Force Control Training System on Brain Activation: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Study

A Virtual Reality Force Control Training System on Brain Activation: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Study

Nowadays, the use of virtual reality (VR) as a platform for rehabilitation and training is becoming increasingly prevalent, as these systems can be effective [2-4] and are better at increasing one’s motivation [5] to undergo training or rehabilitation than conventional methods. This may be due in part to the platform’s ability to realistically simulate ADLs, reduce boredom and monotony compared with conventional methods, and provide user-adaptable difficulty levels [6,7].

The Safety of Telerehabilitation: Systematic Review

The Safety of Telerehabilitation: Systematic Review

In 68% (n=25) of the studies, the rehabilitation intervention was provided exclusively by a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or their respective assistants. In total, 3 (8%) studies [23,27,48] used a physician to deliver the rehabilitation, which included exercise training and counseling, while 4 (11%) studies involved an interdisciplinary team.

Activity-Based Interventions to Increase Independence After Stroke In the Hospital Setting: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Activity-Based Interventions to Increase Independence After Stroke In the Hospital Setting: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Effective rehabilitation enables stroke survivors to achieve optimal functional outcomes across all areas of their life [4]. Occupational therapists assess and deliver rehabilitation for stroke survivors who have experienced changes to their ability to engage in meaningful everyday activities as a result of their stroke impairments [6]. Occupational therapy interventions often target ADLs to improve functional performance [7].

Gamification Integration in Technological Devices for Motor Rehabilitation in Parkinson Disease: Scoping Review

Gamification Integration in Technological Devices for Motor Rehabilitation in Parkinson Disease: Scoping Review

Recent studies point to most VR rehabilitation options for PD being administered through commercial videogames, which are designed for entertainment in healthy individuals, far away from the context of rehabilitation for people with PD [24-26]. In PD, where apathy and depression are often present, long-term adherence to exercise and rehabilitation is concerning [27,28]. Previous research has shown that the implementation of VR does not warrant a higher adherence to treatment [11].

Human Guide Training to Improve Hospital Accessibility for Patients Who Are Blind: Needs Assessment and Pilot Process Evaluation

Human Guide Training to Improve Hospital Accessibility for Patients Who Are Blind: Needs Assessment and Pilot Process Evaluation

In addition to the ADA, other laws and regulations may also impact accessibility in health care settings, such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. These laws further emphasize the importance of ensuring equal access to health care for individuals with disabilities. More recently, the ACA’s Section 5307 mandates the U.S.

Effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Upper Extremity Function Training (Gloreha) on Upper Extremities Function After Stroke: Systematic Review

Effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Upper Extremity Function Training (Gloreha) on Upper Extremities Function After Stroke: Systematic Review

In recent years, robot-assisted therapy (RAT) has emerged as an innovative technology to augment conventional rehabilitation [15]. RAT offers high-repetition or high-intensity practice, which may induce neuroplasticity in patients with stroke [16]. Recent evidence suggests RAT is more effective than traditional therapy approaches for stroke rehabilitation [17].

Factors Related to Pain and Disability Outcomes After an Internet-Delivered or Physiotherapist-Led Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Whiplash Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Study

Factors Related to Pain and Disability Outcomes After an Internet-Delivered or Physiotherapist-Led Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Whiplash Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Study

However, that study did not investigate factors related to improvements after rehabilitation. In studies where interventions included acceptance and commitment therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy, psychological factors had a mediating or predictive effect on pain and/or disability outcome for individuals with chronic WAD [12,13].
