Interrelationships Among Workload, Illness Severity, and Function on Return to Work following Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Delayed return to work (RTW) is common in persons with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This research aims to examine relationships among pre-ARDS job demands, illness severity, and post-ARDS functions with RTW 6 and 12 months after ARDS hospitalization.Multicenter Study of Pain in Osteogenesis Imperfecta

To identify longitudinal trajectories of depression in the first six months following amputation and to explore baseline predictors of these trajectories. A secondary aim was to utilize trajectories as predictors of PTSD as a 6-month distal outcome.Effect of Multicomponent Home-Based Training on Gait and Muscle Strength Performance in Older Adults With Hip Fracture
To investigate the effect of a specific multicomponent home-based physical therapy intervention on gait and muscle strength.Increasing Disability Inclusion in Health Programming Using NCHPAD's inclusive Community Implementation Process: a Case Study
To examine the feasibility of using NCHPAD's inclusive Community Implementation Process (NiCIP) to select and implement disability inclusion solutions to increase inclusion of people with disabilities in an evidence-based nutrition education program.Using Technology to Enhance Activity-Based Therapy for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury or Disease: Rehabilitation Hospital Therapists’ Perspectives
To understand if and how therapists use technology and/or activity-based therapy (ABT) for rehabilitation of individuals living with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D).Simplifying Prognosis for Cancer Patients in Inpatient Rehabilitation: Bed Mobility Correlates With 6-Month Mortality
Prior studies have shown that lower aggregate Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores correlate with poor outcomes in cancer patients. However, in determining appropriate functional goals for cancer patients, clinicians would benefit from simplified tools that determine prognostic timelines and aid in developing appropriate functional goals. Bed mobility is an easily assessed measure of function in the inpatient setting. Our objective was to determine the association between bed mobility and mortality in patients with cancer receiving inpatient rehabilitation.AM-PAC “6-clicks” Predicts Discharge Destination for Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19
To investigate the ability of the initial Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) “6-clicks” mobility and activity scores to predict discharge disposition for patients hospitalized with COVID-19.Carbamazepine for Irritability and Aggression after Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
To test the hypothesis that carbamazepine (CBZ) reduces irritability/aggression among individuals > 6 months post-traumatic brain injury (TBI).Assessing the Benefits and Risks of Amantadine for Irritability and Aggression after Traumatic Brain Injury
To explore the benefits versus harms of amantadine in the treatment of irritability and aggression.Reliability and Validity of a Virtual Reality-based Cognitive Assessment Tool (VR-CAT) for Children with TBI
An estimated 700,000 pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases are reported each year in the U.S. The long-term goal of this project is to address the need to identify and treat those patients with persistent executive function problems. Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to provide an immersive environment for measuring EFs. This presentation aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the VR-based Cognitive Assessment Tool (VR-CAT) for inhibitory control [IC], working memory [WM], cognitive flexibility [CF]).Spasticity Experience in Adults with Multiple Sclerosis: An Integrated Conceptual Model
To develop a conceptual model of spasticity in MS that integrates the experience of persons with MS (pwMS) and clinicians, in accordance with Food and Drug Administration guidance on patient-focused drug development.Factors Influencing the Implementation of Guideline-recommended Practices for Post-concussive Sleep Disturbance and Headache in the Veterans Health Administration
To increase understanding regarding barriers and facilitators of clinicians’ implementation of recommendations for post-concussive sleep disturbance and headache within the VA/DoD mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) clinical practice guideline (CPG).The Re-Engineered Discharge for Diabetes Computer Adaptive Test (REDD-CAT): New patient-reported outcome measures that evaluate social determinants of health for persons with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
To detail the development of patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) that capture social determinants of health (SDOH) among individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).A Population-Based Sex-Stratified Study to Understand How Health Status Preceding Traumatic Brain Injury Affects Functional Outcome
To understand how health status preceding traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects relative functional gain after inpatient rehabilitation.Quantifying the Nature And Extent of Upper-Limb Associated Reactions During Walking in People With Acquired Brain Injury
To use criterion-reference three-dimensional motion analysis (3DMA) during walking to; 1.Define upper-limb associated reaction (AR) kinematics 2.Devise composite score outcome measures to quantify Ars.Traditional Chinese Medicine manipulation ameliorates oxidative stress injury in skeletal muscle cells model of impairment: A quantitative iTRAQ proteomics study
Rolling manipulation (RM), a myofascial release technique, is the most popular technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine manipulation (TCMM) to treat skeletal muscle injury. The research is to identify potential mechanisms of TCMM alleviating impaired human skeletal muscle cells (HSkMCs) that is based on the changes in related biological processes and pathways after treatment.Perspectives of Stroke Survivors and Their Therapists on Effective Implementation of Strategy Training in Taiwan
To compare the perspectives of clients and therapists regarding the expectations for, benefits of, and factors influencing the implementation of strategy training for adults with cognitive impairment in Asian countries.Correlates of Self-Reported Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire Scores of New Mobility Scooter Users
To describe the self-reported scooter-skill scores of new mobility scooter users and to identify significant correlations with other characteristics and measures.Occupational Therapy Utilization and Post-Acute Discharge Destination among Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury: The Mediating Effect of Changes in Activity Performance
Community discharge is viewed as a favorable outcome following acute care hospitalization. Occupational therapy (OT) utilization is associated with higher community discharges. However, patient-level factors that mediate the relationship between OT utilization and discharge disposition is not well-understood. We sought to investigate whether activities of daily living (ADL) performance change mediates the relationship between OT utilization and discharge destination among adults with TBI.Delivery of Gait Device Treatment Using Telehealth For Individuals With Stroke
To investigate the feasibility of two adapted telehealth delivery models for remote gait treatment using a novel gait device.Optimizing Protocol Selection for Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Slowly Progressive Neuromuscular Diseases
To develop a predictive model for cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) workload increments in individuals with slowly progressive neuromuscular diseases (NMD).The Relationship Between The Physical Strain Of Walking And Daily Activity Time In Individuals With Slowly Progressive Neuromuscular Diseases
To investigate the physical strain of walking and its relationship with daily activity time in individuals with neuromuscular diseases (NMD).Targeted tDCS Reduces the Expression of the Upper Limb Flexion Synergy in Chronic Hemiparetic Stroke
The emergence of abnormal movement synergies following a stroke presents a major limitation to the recovery of independent function(1). This study aims to explore a novel neuromodulatory technology based on a targeted tDCS(2-3) for reducing the upper limb flexion synergy post stroke.Patient and Clinician Reported Outcomes and Experiences Following Advanced Tele-Rehabilitation Assessments Conducted in Rural Alberta
To determine the feasibility of a clinic-to-clinic tele-rehabilitation model in rural Alberta.
