Decline in Rehab Transfers Among Rehab-Eligible Stroke Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objective: To characterize differences in disposition arrangement among rehab-eligible stroke patients at a Comprehensive Stroke Center before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a prospective registry for demographics, hospital course, and discharge dispositions of rehab-eligible acute stroke survivors admitted 6 months prior to (10/2019-03/2020) and during (04/2020-09/2020) the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary outcome was discharge to an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) as opposed to other facilities using descriptive statistics, and IRF versus home using unadjusted and adjusted backward stepwise logistic regression.

Team Approach: Rehabilitation Strategies for Patients After Osteosarcoma Reconstructive Surgery.

The multimodal treatment of osteosarcoma with chemotherapy, surgical resection, and reconstruction has improved outcomes after a limb-salvage surgical procedure. Physical rehabilitation considerations after surgical resection vary, depending on the location of the tumor. Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians incorporate lymphedema specialists, orthotists, and prosthetists to help to improve limb function.

The relationship between sensory latency and amplitude.

Purpose: To prove that the relationship between sensory latencies and amplitudes is useful in determining the severity of neuropathies. This is achieved by deriving a mathematical relationship between sensory distal latency and amplitude. Determine whether sensory amplitudes below predicted correlate with a worse pathology.
