Objectives: To determine whether allied health interventions delivered using telehealth provide similar or better outcomes for patients compared with traditional face-to-face delivery modes. Study design: A rapid systematic review the Cochrane methodology to extract eligible randomized trials. Eligible trials: Trials were inclusion if they a comparable dose of by neuropsychologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, podiatrist, psychologist, and/or speech pathologist; reported...
to investigate a high-intensity functional exercise (HIFE) group in hospitalised older adults.assessor-blinded, randomised-controlled trial.sub-acute wards at metropolitan rehabilitation hospital.older adults ≥65 years (n = 468) able stand with minimum assistance or less from chair and follow instructions.'group' participants were offered standing HIFE three times week individual physiotherapy sessions twice week. Control daily sessions.the primary outcome measure was the Elderly Mobility...
Physiotherapy delivered in a group setting has been shown to be effective variety of populations. However, little is known about the attitudes older adults toward participating physiotherapy. The objectives this study were explore inpatients' perceptions and experiences physiotherapy using qualitative methods. Twelve hospitalized aged ≥65 years who involved larger randomized controlled trial undertook individual semistructured interviews regarding their Interviews transcribed verbatim, line...

Background: Older adults undergoing rehabilitation may have limited mobility, slow gait speeds and low levels of physical activity. Devices used to quantify activity in older must be able detect these characteristics. Objective: To investigate the validity Positional Activity Logger (PAL2) for monitoring position measuring inpatients (slow stream rehabilitation). Methods: Twelve (≥65 years) underwent a 1-hour protocol (set times supine, sitting, standing; stationary moving). Participants...
Disinvestment is the removal or reduction of previously provided practices services, and has typically been undertaken where a practice service clearly shown to be ineffective, inefficient and/or harmful. However, services that have uncertain evidence effectiveness, efficiency safety can also considered as candidates for disinvestment. from these risky they may yet prove beneficial if further becomes available. A novel research approach described this situation, allowing disinvestment take...
