To determine the nature and frequency of impairments related underlying conditions medical students with physical sensory disabilities (PSDs), to assess schools' use relevant publications in setting admission criteria developing appropriate accommodations.A 25-item survey addressed experiences known have PSDs their policies practices. The instrument was directed student affairs deans at all 163 accredited American Canadian schools. authors limited consideration PSDs, excluding psychiatric,...
Objective To determine the association of neck dissection and radiation treatment for head cancer (HNC) with subsequent shoulder range motion (ROM) quality life (QOL) in 5‐year survivors. Design A cross‐sectional convenience sample. Setting Otolaryngology clinics at tertiary care hospital Veterans Affairs medical center. Patients Five‐year, disease‐free survivors HNC. Methods Demographic information was collected, including type (none, spinal accessory “nerve sparing,” sacrificing”)...
ABSTRACT Purpose To determine whether postpartum women (vaginal and cesarean delivery) have deficits in trunk flexor strength, fatigability steadiness, compared with nulligravid women, up to 26 wk postpartum. We hypothesized that would be weaker, more fatigable, greater torque fluctuations than controls, delivery showing vaginal delivery. Methods Twenty-two control (nulligravid) 29 (20–40 yr, 19 who delivered via birth, 13 Caesarian section) participated. Postpartum were tested 8 10 24...
High-intensity interval training (HIIE) may present unique challenges to the cerebrovascular system in individuals post-stroke. We hypothesized lower middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) post-stroke: 1) during 10 minutes of HIIE, 2) immediately following and 3) 30 after compared age- sex-matched controls (CON). used a recumbent stepper submaximal exercise test determine workloads for high-intensity active recovery. Our low volume HIIE protocol consisted 1-minute intervals minutes....
Background and Purpose: Previous work demonstrates that older adults have a lower response in the middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv) to an acute bout of moderate-intensity exercise when compared with young adults. However, no information exists regarding MCAv after stroke. We tested whether differed between participants 3 months stroke age- sex-matched control group (CON). A secondary objective was compare stroke- non-stroke-affected MCAv. Methods: Using transcranial Doppler ultrasound,...
The aim of the study was to determine relationships between functional outcomes, clinical symptoms, and health-related quality life among patients with malignant brain tumors receiving interdisciplinary outpatient rehabilitation.A prospective 49 adults participating in therapies performed. Outcome measures included Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br) for Patient-Reported Measures Instrument Survey (PROMIS) Depression Pain Behavior scales measured at admission, discharge, 1 3...
Abstract Background Malignant brain tumors cause significant impairments in function because of the nature disease. Nevertheless, patients with malignant can make functional gains equivalent to those stroke and traumatic injury inpatient rehabilitation setting. However, efficacy outpatient this population has received little study. Objective To determine if an interdisciplinary program will improve outcomes tumors. Design Nonrandomized prospective longitudinal Setting Six affiliated sites...
Blood flow regulation is impaired in people with stroke. However, the time course of change middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv) following repeated stroke at rest and during exercise remains unknown. In this case study, we provide novel characterization dynamic kinetic MCAv response profile to moderate-intensity before after ischemic MCA The initial occurred left MCA. At 3 months poststroke, amplitude (Amp) was ~50% lower than right. 6-month follow-up visit, Amp declined both right Amp....
Background The primary aim of this study was to characterize the middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) dynamic response an acute bout exercise in humans at 3- and 6-months poststroke. As a secondary objective, we grouped individuals according MCAv as responder or nonresponder. We tested whether physical activity, aerobic fitness, mean arterial pressure differed between groups. Methods Results Transcranial Doppler ultrasound measured during 90-second baseline followed by 6-minute...
Fluctuating arterial blood pressure during high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) may challenge dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA), specifically after stroke an injury to the cerebrovasculature. We hypothesized that dCA would be attenuated at rest and a sit-to-stand transition immediately 30 min HIIE in individuals poststroke compared with age- sex-matched control subjects (CON). switched every minute between 70% 10% estimated maximal watts for 10 min. Mean (MAP) middle artery velocity...
Background: Lung function is compromised in stroke survivors, which may cause fatigue and exercise intolerance. Furthermore, past studies of aerobic have involved only survivors who could walk independently. Stroke were unable to not included the previous research-investigating changes lung from walking interventions. In this pilot study, feasibility effect on was examined non-ambulatory using a treadmill, bodyweight support system, gait training device.Methods: This study single group...
A major challenge for stroke rehabilitation and recovery research is the recruitment retention of participants. Our prior challenges successes have influenced our team to rethink approach potential large-scale recruitment.In this special interest article, we highlight how adoption implementation strategies such as physician engagement a streamlined "customer service" helped us improve enrollment maximize efficiency. Another positive outcome was increased representation those who identify...
Abstract Background and Purpose Chronic hyperglycemia contributes to cerebrovascular dysfunction by damaging blood vessels. Poor glucose control has been tied impairments in cerebral flow, which may be particularly detrimental for people recovering from major events such as acute ischemic stroke. In this secondary analysis, we explore the first time connection between chronic before stroke response (CVR) exercise 3 6 month into subacute recovery period. Methods We recorded middle artery...
The aim of this study was to compare the cost comprehensive outpatient therapy (day rehabilitation) in individuals with malignant brain tumors those stroke and traumatic injury.This a prospective, nonrandomized, longitudinal 49 consecutive adults enrolled 6 day rehabilitation sites 1 institution over 35 months. control group composed 50 patients injury stroke, who were also program during same period. A comparison made total Medicare per compared group.The had lower than did combined (F2,143...
