Prediction of Discharge Destination After Inpatient Rehabilitation for Stroke Using Mobility and Self-Care Assessment in Section GG of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility - Patient Assessment Instrument.

Objective: To determine the ability of Section GG of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility - Patient Assessment Inventory (Section GG)'s quantification of mobility and self-care to predict discharge destination for persons with stroke after inpatient rehabilitation.

Design: Retrospective, observational cohort study.

Setting: 150-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility within a metropolitan health system.

Responsiveness of Section GG Scores in Tracking Post-Stroke Functional Recovery From Inpatient Rehabilitation Admission to 90-Day Follow-Up.

Objective: To evaluate the responsiveness and scale-to-sample targeting of Section GG of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument in measuring the trajectory of functional recovery in patients with stroke from inpatient rehabilitation admission to 90 days after discharge.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: 150-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care "6-Clicks" Basic Mobility Scores Predict Discharge Destination After Acute Care Hospitalization in Select Patient Groups: A Retrospective, Observational Study.

Objectives: To establish cutoff scores for the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care "6-Clicks" standardized Basic Mobility scores (sBMSs) for predicting discharge destination after acute care hospitalization for diagnostic subgroups within an acute care population and to evaluate the need for a second score to improve predictive ability.

Design: Retrospective, observational design.

Setting: Major medical center in metropolitan area.

Redefining Pathways into Acute Rehabilitation during the COVID-19 Crisis.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated drastic changes across the spectrum of health care, all of which have occurred with unprecedented rapidity. The need to accommodate change on such a large scale has required ingenuity and decisive thinking. The field of physical medicine and rehabilitation has been faced with many of these challenges.

Randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of continuous passive motion after total knee replacement.

Objective: To determine the effects of using a continuous passive motion (CPM) device for individuals with poor range of motion (ROM) after a total knee replacement (TKR) admitted for postacute rehabilitation.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF).

Effectiveness of continuous passive motion in an inpatient rehabilitation hospital after total knee replacement: a matched cohort study.

Objective: To examine the use of continuous passive motion (CPM) as an adjunct to physical therapy after total knee replacement in patients who were transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) and to compare the effectiveness of CPM on active range of motion (AROM), functional tasks, destination after discharge, the need for home care services, and the ambulation device at discharge.

Design: Matched cohort study.

Setting: IRF.

Rehabilitation following total knee replacement, total hip replacement, and hip fracture: a case-controlled comparison.

Purpose: To determine whether clinical outcomes and reimbursement for care differed between patients with hip fracture, total knee replacement (TKR), and total hip replacement (THR) undergoing an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) versus skilled nursing facility (SNF).

Method: A total of 541 patients (IRF = 409, SNF = 131) with unilateral hip fracture, TKR, and THR were recruited. The IRF and SNF patients were matched on age, sex, diagnosis, severity index, and ambulation Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score on admission.

Outcome after rehabilitation for total joint replacement at IRF and SNF: a case-controlled comparison.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether outcomes differed between patients with single knee or hip joint replacement surgery undergoing rehabilitation in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) vs. skilled nursing facilities (SNFs).

Design: A retrospective chart review was performed on 87 pairs of patients treated in either an IRF or a SNF matched for age, gender, type of surgery, and Functional Independent Measure (FIM) motor score at admission.
