Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) refers to a sudden loss of blood flow in a region of the brain, which leads to a loss of neurological function.
Purpose: To unveil the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with modern rehabilitation techniques in AIS patients with post-motor dysfunction.
Material And Methods: A total of 200 AIS patients with post-motor dysfunction were divided into groups A, B, C, and D (n = 50). Patients in the four groups were routinely treated with medicine, on this basis: group B received NMES treatment; group C received modern rehabilitation technology treatment; and group D was treated with NMES and modern rehabilitation technology. Rehabilitation effect, cerebral hemodynamic indices, neurological function recovery, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) scores, self-care, and quality of life were compared.
Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of group D was 96% higher than that of group A (64%), group B (82%), and group C (84%). Bilateral middle cerebral artery Vm and Vs and scores of FMA, MAS, functional independence measure, and modified Barthel index increased; RI and NHISS scores decreased; and all group D improved significantly versus groups A, B, and C, and both groups B and C improved significantly versus group A.
Conclusion: NMES with modern rehabilitation technologies synergistically treat motor dysfunction after AIS with ideal rehabilitation effect, improving cerebral hemodynamics, neurological and limb motor function recovery, and self-care ability and quality of life.

Large-scale and long-term wildlife research and monitoring using camera traps: a continental synthesis.

Camera traps are widely used in wildlife research and monitoring, so it is imperative to understand their strengths, limitations, and potential for increasing impact. We investigated a decade of use of wildlife cameras (2012-2022) with a case study on Australian terrestrial vertebrates using a multifaceted approach. We (i) synthesised information from a literature review; (ii) conducted an online questionnaire of 132 professionals; (iii) hosted an in-person workshop of 28 leading experts representing academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and government; and (iv) mapped camera trap usage based on all sources.

School of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Southern Queensland, Ipswich, Australia.
Introduction: The Modified Interest Checklist (MIC) is a tool used by therapists to understand past and present occupational engagement, however, is now outdated and lacks contemporary occupations. The aim of this study was to develop an updated valid and reliable checklist tool inclusive of contemporary leisure activities for clinical practice.
Methods: The study consisted of four phases, including feedback in relation to the MIC, two phases of development of an updated tool, and occupational therapists' opinions on the tool.

Objective: This protocol paper describes the rationale and design of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) that aims to evaluate the (cost-)effectiveness of a 12 week e-self-management intervention (Happy Hands app) in people with hand osteoarthritis (HOA).
Methods: In this multicentre RCT, 376 people with HOA will be recruited from all four health regions in Norway. Consenting participants will be randomly allocated to either a control group receiving usual care or an intervention group receiving the Happy Hands app in addition to usual care.

Background: Population-levels of physical activity have remained stagnant for years. Previous approaches to modify behaviour have broadly neglected the importance of whole-systems approaches. Our research aimed to (i) understand, (ii) map, (iii) identify the leverage points, and (iv) develop solutions surrounding participation in physical activity across an English rural county.
