The efficacy of interactive, motion capture-based rehabilitation on functional outcomes in an inpatient stroke population: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of novel interactive, motion capture-rehabilitation software to usual care stroke rehabilitation on physical function.

Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Setting: Two subacute hospital rehabilitation units in Australia.

Validity and reliability of the de Morton Mobility Index in the subacute hospital setting in a geriatric evaluation and management population.

Objective: To investigate the clinimetric properties of the de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) in a Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) population.

Design: A longitudinal validation study (n = 100) and inter-rater reliability study (n = 29) in a GEM population.

Patients: Consecutive patients admitted to a GEM rehabilitation ward were eligible for inclusion.
