Background: The Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy's Intensity Matters campaign recommends the implementation of high-intensity locomotor training for all patients with neurologic dysfunction with goals to improve walking.

Objective: Retrospectively determine the effectiveness of a clinician-initiated implementation project on the adoption, reach, and fidelity of high-intensity locomotor training for patients with stroke during inpatient rehabilitation and, determine whether the project led to changes in patient outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of electronic medical records from 1 year before and after the project.

Background And Objectives: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a commonly performed procedure to alleviate high intracranial pressure. To enhance patient quality of life and minimize complications after DC in patients awaiting cranioplasty (CP), multidisciplinary teams have designed and implemented external protective prototypes, including 3-dimensional printing and plaster models, whenever feasible. The aim of this scoping review was to assess the evidence available on innovative external cranial devices that protect the craniectomy site for patients who have undergone DC while awaiting CP in high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries.

Objective And Background: This study focuses on the atlas, a pivotal component of the craniovertebral junction, bridging the cranium and spinal column. Notably, variations in its arches are documented globally, necessitating a thorough assessment and categorization due to their significant implications in clinical, diagnostic, functional, and therapeutic contexts. The primary objective is to ascertain the frequency of these anatomical deviations in the atlas arches among a Colombian cohort using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Background: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a widely used procedure to alleviate high intracranial pressure. Multidisciplinary teams have designed and implemented external medical prototypes to improve patient life quality and avoid complications following DC in patients awaiting cranioplasty (CP), including 3D printing and plaster prototypes when available.

Objective: This scoping review aims to understand the extent and type of evidence about innovative external prototypes for patients who undergo DC while awaiting CP.
