Knowledge Translation Task Force for core measures clinical practice guideline: a short report on the process and utilization.

Background: As part of the 2018 Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG): A Core Set of Outcome Measures for Adults with Neurologic Conditions Undergoing Rehabilitation, a Knowledge Translation (KT) Task Force was convened. The purpose of this short report was to (1) demonstrate the potential impact of a CPG KT Task Force through a practical example of efforts to implement a CPG into neurologic physical therapy practice and (2) describe the process to convene a KT Task Force and develop products (KT Toolkit) to facilitate implementation of the CPG.

Methods: To describe the process used by the KT Task Force to develop and review a KT Toolkit for implementation of the CPG.

Adaptation of an evidence-based, fall-prevention, Tai Ji Quan exercise program for adults with traumatic brain injury: focus group results.

Introduction: Fall risk is increased in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Purpose: This study adapted an evidence-based fall-prevention program Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance (TJQMBB) for adults with TBI and convened an online focus group with the target population for input on its delivery, content/safety, and potential benefits.

Methods: Fall prevention and TBI experts adapted TJQMBB.

Parental knowledge of concussion: Evaluation of the CDC's "Heads up to parents" educational initiative.

Background: Potential negative outcomes associated with sport-related concussion drive the need for resources to educate parents about prevention, recognition, and management of concussion in the youth athlete. Parents play a critical role in the recognition and management of concussion for their child.

Purpose: This study aims to (a) investigate current knowledge of concussion among parents whose children age 5-18 years play a club sport and (b) identify effects of an online video versus online print educational intervention on concussion knowledge change and learning.

Does preoperative anal physiology testing or ultrasonography predict clinical outcome with sacral neuromodulation for fecal incontinence?

Introduction And Hypothesis: To determine the value of preoperative anal physiology testing and transanal ultrasonography in predicting clinical response to sacral neuromodulation for fecal incontinence.

Methods: We report a retrospective study of all patients treated with sacral neuromodulation for fecal incontinence in a single practice between 2011 and 2014 was performed. Patient demographics included age, gender, comorbidities, presence of an ultrasound-defined external sphincter defect, and history of prior anal sphincter repair.

Non-invasive serial casting to treat idiopathic toe walking in an 18-month old child.

Background: Idiopathic toe walking is characterized by persistent toe walking in the absence of clinically diagnosed neuromuscular disease. Treatment options in children diagnosed with idiopathic toe walking include: observation, physical therapy, serial casting, or Achilles tendon (heel cord) lengthening surgery.

Objective: In this case report, we present a non-invasive serial casting protocol to treat severe and persistent toe walking in an 18-month old child, diagnosed as an idiopathic toe walker following neurological examination.

Pain perception as a function of self-focused rumination.

Pain sensitivity and tolerance were studied using the cold-pressor technique. A 3 independent groups design was employed using rumination as the independent variable. Group 1 was given a situation in which anger-related self-rumination was introduced.
