Pushing the limit to reach meaningful change: the impact of intensity-driven exercise on clinical outcomes for individuals with Parkinson's disease. A single-subject design.

Purpose: Parkinson's disease creates an inability to perform previous learned autonomic tasks, such as walking, which worsens with disease progression. Recommendations to incorporate exercise at moderate to high intensities for this population has been established but there is limited knowledge about its impact on clinical based outcomes. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-week intensity-driven walking program on clinical-based outcomes in individuals with PD.

Coaching to Support Children With Disabilities in Occupational Therapy: A Literature Review.

Importance: Coaching is an effective intervention strategy in occupational therapy but there lacks consensus in the literature about terms, definitions, and approaches used which can be barriers to the clinical use of this method.

Objective: The purpose of this review is to understand how coaching adults is used as an intervention to support children with disabilities.

Methods: Guidelines from foundational scoping review articles and PRISMA-ScR were followed.

Using Social Network Analysis to Measure Social Inclusion for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.

The aim of this perspective is to describe the theory and practical steps of using principles of social network analysis to help measure the social inclusion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Social inclusion for those with disabilities has become an important area of focus of rehabilitative professionals in the past decade. Social inclusion is comprised of the domains participation and social interaction.

Perceived exercise habits of individuals with Parkinson's disease living in the community.

Context: Exercise has been shown to improve gait in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Stepping practice at higher intensity levels has been suggested as a beneficial treatment option to improve gait in the neurological population. Unfortunately, this mode is poorly understood and underutilized within the PD population.

Hemorrhagic stroke outcomes of KApSR patients with co-morbid diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Vascular risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), are associated with poorer outcomes following many neurodegenerative diseases, including hemorrhagic stroke and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Combined AD and DM co-morbidities are associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke and increased Medicare costs. Therefore, we hypothesized that patients with DM in combination with AD, termed DM/AD, would have increased hemorrhagic stroke severity.
