Objective: To determine the effect of the established polytrauma/traumatic brain injury (TBI) infrastructure on immediate posttreatment functional gains, the long-term sustainability of any gains, and participation-related community reintegration outcomes in a baseline cohort of patients 8 years postadmission.
Design: Retrospective review and prospective repeated measures of an inception cohort.
Setting: Polytrauma rehabilitation center (PRC).
Objectives: To investigate the effect of walking speed on the emergence of locomotor electromyogram (EMG) patterns in an individual with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), and to determine whether central pattern generator activity during robotic locomotor training (RLT) transfers to volitional EMG activity during overground walking.
Design: Single-case (B-A-B; experimental treatment-withdrawal-experimental treatment) design.
Setting: Freestanding rehabilitation research center.
Objective: To explore the changes in stroke rehabilitation outcomes after the introduction of Japan's long-term care insurance (LTCI) system.
Design: Stroke patients discharged during a 3-yr period before and after the implementation of LTCI were compared (before-LTCI vs. after-LTCI).
