Background. Feedback is used in rehabilitation to improve self-awareness people with traumatic brain injury (TBI), but there have been no comparisons of the different methods providing feedback. Objective. To compare effect feedback on impaired after TBI. Method. This was a randomized, assessor-blinded trial concealed allocation. A total 54 participants TBI and (85% male) were recruited from inpatient community settings. Participants performed meal preparation task 4 occasions randomly...
Background. Errorless learning (ELL) and error-based (EBL) are commonly used approaches to rehabilitation for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, it is unknown whether making errors beneficial in the process promote skills generalization after severe TBI. Objective. To compare efficacy of ELL EBL improving generalization, self-awareness, behavioral competency, psychosocial functioning Method. A total 54 adults (79% male; mean age = 38.0 years, SD 13.4) TBI were randomly...
Background/aim Approximately, 80% of traumatic brain injuries are considered mild in severity. Mild injury ( mTBI ) may cause temporary or persisting impairments that can adversely affect an individual's ability to participate daily occupations and life roles. This study aimed identify symptoms, factors predicting level symptoms functional psycho‐social outcomes for participants with three months following injury. Method Patients discharged from the Emergency Department a major metropolitan...
A total of 75% people with mental health disorders have an onset illness between the ages 12 and 24 years. Many in this age group report substantial obstacles to receiving quality youth-centered care services. With rapid development technology recent COVID-19 pandemic, mobile (mHealth) has presented new opportunities for youth research, practice, policy.
Abstract Background Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) prevalences range from 10% up to 45%, caused by heterogeneous definitions, different study designs and survey methods, sometimes misattribution of unrelated comorbidities PCS. First correlations between PCS health-related quality life (HrQoL) are described. This analyzes the course differences PCS-related symptoms associated HrQoL in a large multicenter cohort.Table 1:Development Health-related Quality Life COVID-19 patients compared healthy...
Background: Technology is rapidly being developed to improve healthcare outcomes. However, the attitudes and perceptions of occupational therapists (OTs) on artificial intelligence (AI) in are not yet known. Purpose: This study aims to: explore Canadian OTs’ (a) understanding knowledge AI, (b) opinions perspectives (c) potential benefits risks AI might bring therapy practice Canada. Method: A sequential explanatory mixed method approach was used gather registered OTs. Two hundred eighty-two...
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to wide-scale changes in societal organization. This dramatically altered people's daily activities, especially among families with young children, those living disabilities such as spinal cord injury (SCI), who have experienced a stroke, and older adults.
Poor skills generalization poses a major barrier to successful outcomes of rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Error-based learning (EBL) is relatively new intervention approach that aims promote by teaching people internal self-regulation skills, or how anticipate, monitor and correct their own errors. This paper describes the protocol study compare efficacy EBL errorless (ELL) for improving error self-regulation, behavioral competency, awareness deficits long-term TBI....
Of the few studies that have examined effects of romantic relationships on academic performance, most been concerned with adolescent students. This study analyzes a data set more than 300 students at midsized, private University in northeast United States to determine if participating relationship predicts grade point average or course attendance. The results multivariate analyses indicate being while college is significantly associated class absences, but not average. Specifically, logistic...
This study examined the patterns of informal (unpaid) caregiving provided to people after moderate severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), explore self-reported burden and preparedness for role, identify factors predictive caregiver preparedness. A cross-sectional cohort design was used. Informal caregivers completed Demand Difficulty subscales Caregiving Burden Scale; Mutuality, Preparedness, Global Strain Family Care Inventory. Chi-square tests logistic regression were used examine...
Upper limb weakness following a stroke affects 80% of survivors and is key factor in preventing their return to independence. State-of-the art approaches rehabilitation often require that the patient can generate some activity paretic limb, which not possible for many patients early period stroke. Approaches enable more engage with upper therapy earlier are urgently needed. Motor imagery has shown promise as potential means maintain brain's motor network, when incapable generating functional...
Individuals with a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience substantial changes in their life. This constructivist grounded theory study aimed develop an explanatory model that explores the impact of social participation and self-identity after sustaining TBI. Sixteen participants TBI (mean age = 49.8, 69% male) were recruited, on average 16.4 years post-injury (SD 10.4). Data from semi-structured interviews analysed thematically. An overarching theme "living reshaped...
Abstract Purpose: Peer-support groups for stroke survivors are often organized and facilitated by health authorities disability related organizations within rehabilitation programs. However, the benefits of peer-led, peer-support have not yet been evaluated. The purpose this study was to explore participants’ experiences in a community-based, group survivors. Materials Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted analyzed following constructivist grounded theory with 11 participants...
Background Occupational therapists working in brain injury rehabilitation use functional tasks as a means of providing feedback to improve self‐awareness people who have and ultimately their occupational performance. Purpose To compare the effectiveness video, verbal experiential for improving with traumatic injury. Methods A randomised controlled trial will be conducted efficacy video during therapy. Fifty‐four participants randomly allocated into three intervention groups: (i) plus...
Video feedback interventions have been found to improve self-awareness and occupational performance a greater extent than other after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, it is unclear whether the effects of video are maintained over time.To evaluate maintenance gains in achieved with intervention people TBI.There were 32 participants TBI impaired who had completed randomized controlled trial three conditions (video plus verbal, verbal experiential). Eight ten weeks final session,...
