Importance: Some people experience persistent symptoms after a concussion that greatly affect occupational performance.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effect of metacognitive strategy training in a sample of adults with postconcussive symptoms.
Design: Single-group, prospective design.
Setting: University research laboratory.
Participants: Adults with persistent concussive symptoms affecting function (N = 14).
Intervention: Ten 45-min sessions of a metacognitive strategy training intervention, Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP).
Outcomes And Measures: Assessed feasibility outcomes included recruitment, retention, and adherence rates, and intervention acceptability was evaluated with the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8. The preliminary effect was measured on occupational performance (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure), concussive symptoms (Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory), sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory), vision (College of Optometrists in Vision Development-Quality of Life Outcomes Assessment), and cognition outcomes (Dysexecutive Questionnaire, Weekly Calendar Planning Activity, and National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery).
Results: Acceptable recruitment (32%), retention (93%), and adherence rates (100%) were observed, along with a high level of acceptability to participants. Large intervention effects were present for occupational performance, general concussive symptoms, and cognitive functioning.
Conclusions And Relevance: Findings suggest that the CO-OP is feasible to administer for adults with postconcussive symptoms and perceived as suitable for the needs of this population. Feasibility findings, coupled with improvements in occupational performance outcomes, provide the foundation for a future larger scale trial. Plain-Language Summary: The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance intervention is practical to use to address the functional impact of persistent concussive symptoms in adults. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of the CO-OP intervention with this population.

Lyme disease (LD) surveillance yields useful information to monitor the disease trends and spatial distribution. However, due to several factors, the Manitoba Health surveillance system, as with other systems, could be subject to underreporting. To estimate the number and incidence of clinician-diagnosed LD over the study period in Manitoba, describe the epidemiology of clinician-diagnosed LD, and compare the findings with Manitoba Health LD surveillance data during the same period to estimate the extent of underreporting.

Digital cognitive training may improve cognition in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI); however, the effect on functionality remains poorly defined. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a valid and consistent instrument for evaluating the performance of activities of daily living in this population. This study used the COPM to investigate the effects of digital cognitive training on functionality in individuals with MCI.

Many children with autism struggle with movement difficulties, yet the causes of these difficulties remain unclear. One possible explanation is atypical motor planning and integration of visual and motoric information. Before performing a goal-directed movement, the brain creates a prediction of the movement based on visual and sensory information and previous experience, forming a "blueprint" of the motor steps needed to achieve the goal.

Introduction: The societal costs of dementia and cognitive decline are substantial and likely to increase during the next decades due to the increasing number of people in older age groups. The aim of this multicenter cluster-randomized controlled trial was to assess the cost-effectiveness of a multi-domain intervention to prevent cognitive decline in older people who are at risk for dementia.
Methods: We used data from a multi-centric, two-armed, cluster-randomized controlled trial ( trial, ID: DRKS00013555).
