Perspectives From Canadian People With Visual Impairments in Everyday Environments Outside the Home: Qualitative Insights for Assistive Technology Development

Perspectives From Canadian People With Visual Impairments in Everyday Environments Outside the Home: Qualitative Insights for Assistive Technology Development

The Lancet Global Health Commission on Global Eye Health identified the provision of vision rehabilitation services and assistive technologies (ATs) as key to improving the functional abilities and quality of life of people with visual impairments [8,9].

An Integrated Virtual Reality–Based Telerehabilitation Platform to Support Recovery and Maintenance of Functional Abilities Among Older Adults: Protocol for a Usability and Acceptability Study

An Integrated Virtual Reality–Based Telerehabilitation Platform to Support Recovery and Maintenance of Functional Abilities Among Older Adults: Protocol for a Usability and Acceptability Study

Such a shift provides several advantages, including making rehabilitation programs more adaptable to patients’ schedules, partially alleviating the time constraints experienced by therapists, reaching geographically isolated areas without clinical facilities, and reducing costs (eg, by decreasing travel to rehabilitation clinics or enabling home visits) [17,18]. In light of this, research regarding the usability and effectiveness of VR in rehabilitation has grown recently.

Remote Digital Health Interventions to Support the Physical, Functional, or Psychological Rehabilitation of Adult Patients With Major Traumatic Injuries: Protocol for a Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Remote Digital Health Interventions to Support the Physical, Functional, or Psychological Rehabilitation of Adult Patients With Major Traumatic Injuries: Protocol for a Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

While there has been a recognition that more lives are being saved, rehabilitation following trauma is greatly behind, with global estimates of at least one in every 3 people needing rehabilitation services at some point throughout their injury [23]. Many people who have had major trauma are left with disability, medical dependency, family disruption, and ongoing psychosocial issues [16,24].

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].
