Special Communication: The value of high intensity locomotor training applied to patients with acute-onset neurological injury Arch. Phys. Med. Rehabilit. (IF 3.098) Pub Date : 2020-12-28 Meghan Fahey; Gabrielle Brazg; Christopher E. Henderson; Abbey Plawecki; Emily Lucas; Darcy S. Reisman; Brian D. Schmit; T. George Hornby
Long-standing research in animal models and humans with stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) indicate that specific physical training variables, such as the specificity and amount of practice, may influence neurological recovery and locomotor function. More recent data highlight the contributions of exercise intensity, as estimated indirectly by cardiovascular exertion, as potentially more

Using Systematic Functional Measurements in the Acute Hospital Setting to Combat the Immobility Harm Arch. Phys. Med. Rehabilit. (IF 3.098) Pub Date : 2020-12-26 Daniel Young; Sapna R. Kudchadkar; Michael Friedman; Annette Lavezza; Sowmya Kumble; Kelly Daley; Eleni Flanagan; Erik Hoyer
Hospitalized patients often experience unnecessary immobility and inactivity leading to direct harms and poor outcomes. Despite growing evidence that early and regular mobility and activity are safe and helpful for patients in the hospital, there remains substantial room for improvement in clinical practice. Key to improvement is establishing an interdisciplinary approach to measurement and communication
