Severely disabled individuals have long been systematically excluded from actively participating in normalized recreation/leisure activities in integrated community settings. Severely disabled individuals should be taught functional and age appropriate skills, based upon the performance characteristics of nonhandicapped peers. In order to present this position, typical assumptions of leisure skill instruction for severely disabled individuals are discussed and opposing points of view are presented. Finally, the article presents a concrete strategy, or inventory, that is divided into three interrelated areas including: skill selection and skill/facility description, component skills and adaptations for full/partial participation, and supportive skills. The inventory can be used by therapeutic recreation specialists and other educators to develop functional, age appropriate leisure skill instructional content. It is expected that this approach, coupled with longitudinal planning, will facilitate the provision of opportunities for severely disabled individuals to actively participate in normalized recreation/leisure skills in integrated community settings.

Comparison of different treatment positions of nerve slider technique for patients with low back pain: a randomized control trial.
Eur J Phys Rehabil Med
January 2025
Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences, European University of Lefke, Mersin, Türkiye.
Background: Low back pain (LBP) accompanied by sciatica is a widespread musculoskeletal issue with multifactorial etiology, impacting individuals across various demographics. Conservative treatments, notably physiotherapy, are key in managing LBP with sciatica, with neural mobilization techniques emerging as beneficial adjuncts.
Aim: This research aims to assess the effectiveness of utilizing the sciatic slider technique (SST) in both supine and slump positions, compared to conventional physiotherapy alone, in alleviating pain severity, improving lumbar flexibility, lumbar lordosis, lower limb muscle strength, and functional ability in patients with LBP associated with sciatica.

Introduction: This study presents an innovative arthroscopy-assisted total wrist arthrodesis technique utilising three hollow screws, aimed at improving clinical outcomes for patients with severe wrist arthritis.
Materials And Methods: The technique involved the placement of three hollow screws to facilitate wrist bone fusion. Between August 2019 and August 2023, four patients diagnosed with severe wrist arthritis underwent the arthroscopy-assisted procedure.
Risk factors for inferior alveolar nerve injury associated with implant surgery: An observational study.
J Dent Sci
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Dental Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background/purpose: Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury is the most serious complication associated with dental implant surgery, posing difficulties in treatment and potential for permanent disabilities. This study aimed to identify patient-related risk factors for IAN injury during implant placement and to investigate sensory disturbances depending on whether the implant was removed.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight patients with implant-related IAN injury were included.

Objective: This study aims to delineate the clinical features underlying the concurrent disease of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myasthenia gravis (MG), and to identify efficacious therapeutic strategies.
Background: NMOSD and MG are uncommon autoimmune diseases that infrequently co-exist. Despite previous reports, a consensus on treating NMOSD concurrent with MG is lacking.

Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is a rare complication associated with rapid sodium changes, typically encountered in patients with severe hyponatremia. ODS in patients with normonatremia (ODSIN) is less recognized. We describe a patient with MRI-detected ODSIN following neurotrauma and reviewed the relevant literature.
