Feasibility and Safety of Sequential Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Physical Therapy in Older Adults at Risk of Falling: A Randomized Pilot Study.

Objective: To establish the feasibility and safety of administering transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) immediately prior to physical therapy (PT) sessions in older adults at risk of falls.

Design: A pilot randomized controlled study.

Setting: Outpatient geriatric physical therapy clinic.

Effects of a safe patient handling and mobility program on patient self-care outcomes.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) program on patient self-care outcomes. METHOD.

Safe-patient-handling equipment in therapy practice: implications for rehabilitation.

Objective: To determine how safe-patient-handling (SPH) equipment is used in rehabilitation and how it affects therapists, patients, and therapy practice.

Method: We used a qualitative, instrumental case study design. Thirty-five occupational and physical therapist practitioners from three facilities participated in the study.
