A public health mission in Canada in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Many governments in the world reacted to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic by swiftly offering stimulus packages to their populations. While public unpreparedness was dramatic, it was not unexpected: many alarms had been sounded. Strategies by the federal and various provincial governments of Canada in core sectors predisposed the country to the current situation and weakened its capacity to respond adequately.

Facilitators and barriers to participation in physical activities in children and adolescents living with cerebral palsy: a scoping review.

Purpose: This scoping review aimed to synthetize personal and environmental facilitators and barriers to participation in physical activities among youths living with cerebral palsy.

Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in five databases: CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Cochrane, WEB OF SCIENCE. The studies were selected by two independent researchers based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Relationships between Cognitive Functioning and Powered Mobility Device Use: A Scoping Review.

Background: Powered mobility devices (PMD) promote independence, social participation, and quality of life for individuals with mobility limitations. However, some individuals would benefit from PMD, but may be precluded access. This is particularly true for those with cognitive impairments who may be perceived as unsafe and unable to use a PMD.

Sleep in times of crises: A scoping review in the early days of the COVID-19 crisis.

During the early days of the pandemic and in the context of a seemingly unknown global threat, several potential major sleep disruptors were identified by sleep researchers and practitioners across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic combined several features that, individually, had been shown to negatively affect sleep health in the general population. Those features included state of crisis, restrictions on in-person social interactions, as well as financial adversity.

Influence of Cognitive Functioning on Powered Mobility Device Use: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

Background: Power mobility devices (PMD) are critical to achieving independent mobility and social participation for many individuals who have trouble walking. Provision of PMDs is complex, with cognitive functioning expressed by clinicians as a major concern. Even if PMD use can be predicted by the level of cognitive functioning, outcome tools used to assess readiness do not consider how cognitive functioning may affect PMD use.

What are the risk factors for injuries and injury prevention strategies for skiers and snowboarders in terrain parks and half-pipes? A systematic review.

Design: Systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines.

Data Sources: Literature searches from six electronic databases and manual searches were performed.
