Exploring the Views of Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on the Use of Rollators: A QUALITATIVE STUDY.

Purpose: Although it has been well documented that the progressive exercise limitation associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can be helped with an assistive device, such as a rollator, many individuals use it infrequently. This study seeks to explore the views of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease regarding the use of rollators.

Methods: A qualitative study design was used.

Adverse Clinical Effects of Botulinum Toxin Intramuscular Injections for Spasticity.

Objective: The adverse events (AEs) with botulinum toxin type-A (BoNTA), used for indications other than spasticity, are widely reported in the literature. However, the site, dose, and frequency of injections are different for spasticity when compared to the treatment for other conditions and hence the AEs may be different as well. The objective of this study was to summarize the AEs reported in Canada and systematically review the AEs with intramuscular botulinum toxin injections to treat focal spasticity.
