Real-time auditory feedback may reduce abnormal movements in patients with chronic stroke.

Purpose: The current pilot study assesses the use of real-time auditory feedback to help reduce abnormal movements during an active reaching task in patients with chronic stroke.

Materials And Methods: 20 patients with chronic stroke completed the study with full datasets (age:  = 53  = 14; sex: male = 75%; time since stroke in months:  = 34,  = 33). Patients undertook 100 repetitions of an active reaching task while listening to self-selected music which automatically muted when abnormal movement was detected, determined by thresholds set by clinical therapists.

Evolution of an International Research Collaborative in HIV and Rehabilitation: Community Engaged Process, Lessons Learned, and Recommendations.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is increasingly considered a chronic illness. Rehabilitation can address some of the health challenges of people living with HIV (PLWHIV); however, the field is emerging.

Objectives: We describe our experience establishing an international collaborative in HIV and rehabilitation research using a community engaged approach.

Design features of a guideline implementation tool designed to increase awareness of a clinical practice guide to HIV rehabilitation: A qualitative process evaluation.

Rationale, Aims, And Objectives: A comprehensive electronic guide (e-module) describing an interprofessional, evidence-informed approach to HIV rehabilitation was developed as an education resource for rehabilitation professionals. We developed a guideline implementation tool, consisting of a 10-week, case-based education intervention delivered by email, that was perceived to increase rehabilitation professionals' (occupational therapists (OTs), physical therapists (PTs), and speech language pathologists (SLPs)) knowledge and confidence to apply best practices in HIV rehabilitation. This study aimed to increase understanding of how the design of the guideline implementation tool facilitated increased awareness of and access to the e-module among rehabilitation professionals.
