Using Implementation Science to Guide the Process of Adapting a Patient Engagement Intervention for Inpatient Spinal Cord Injury/Disorder Rehabilitation.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the process of adapting an evidence-based patient engagement intervention, enhanced medical rehabilitation (E-MR), for inpatient spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) rehabilitation using an implementation science framework.

Design: We applied the collaborative intervention planning framework and included a community advisory board (CAB) in an intervention mapping process.

Setting: A rehabilitation hospital.

Heart rate variability as a biomarker of functional outcomes in persons with acquired brain injury: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

This review aimed to quantify correlations between heart rate variability (HRV) and functional outcomes after acquired brain injury (ABI). We conducted a literature search from inception to January 2020 via electronic databases, using search terms with HRV, ABI, and functional outcomes. Meta-analyses included 16 studies with 906 persons with ABI.

Everyday Technology Use and Overall Needed Assistance to Function in the Home and Community Among Urban Older Adults.

Older adults manage increasing numbers of everyday technologies to participate in home and community activities. We investigated how assessing use of everyday technologies enhanced predictions of overall needed assistance among urban older adults. We used a cross-sectional design to analyze responses from 114 participants completing the Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and a sociodemographic questionnaire.
