Musculoskeletal ultrasound involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to image soft tissues and bony structures in the body for the purposes of diagnosing pathology or guiding real-time interventional procedures. Recently, an increasing number of physicians have integrated musculoskeletal ultrasound into their practices to facilitate patient care. Technological advancements, improved portability,...
This study explores the link between neurologic deficit as measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and its relationship to length of stay (LOS) and discharge destination.A retrospective chart review was completed of 54 patients admitted for rehabilitation after experiencing a cerebrovascular accident.The study was completed in an acute inpatient rehabilitation stroke unit...

To examine the predictive validity of measures of neurobehavioral change derived from the Disorders of Consciousness Scale (DOCS) for predicting return to consciousness 4, 8, and 12 months after severe brain injury (BI).Prospective observational predictive validity studyInpatient rehabilitation hospitals and postrehabilitation residenceA total of 113 persons with a mean age of 38 ± 17.8 years who...
The classification of patients with low back pain (LBP) may be important for improving clinical outcomes and research efficiency. The purpose of this study was to examine the inter-tester reliability of 2 trained physical therapists to classify patients with LBP by using the standardized Movement System Impairment (MSI) classification system. The 5 proposed MSI classifications are based on the most...
Despite considerable effort to reduce low back pain (LBP), approximately 60% of patients have recurrence after their first episode. The high rate of recurrence suggests that more effective intervention approaches are needed. This randomized, controlled feasibility trial was designed to compare disability, physical functional capacity, and pain outcomes at 2, 6, and 12 months for 2 conventional and...
