AI Article Synopsis

  • Rehabilitation protocols for bone-anchored limbs (BALs) differ based on the osseointegration (OI) implant system and the institutions involved.
  • The authors stress the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach for patients throughout their lives, despite a lack of extensive peer-reviewed literature on optimizing surgical candidacy and rehabilitation methods.
  • Key discussions at the Global Collaborative Congress on OI led to the formulation of consensus statements that outline best practices and highlight the need for future research in preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative care phases.

Article Abstract

Rehabilitation protocols vary according to the osseointegration (OI) implant system and the institutions implanting bone-anchored limbs (BALs). While there are limited peer-reviewed OI publications quantifying details for optimizing surgical candidacy and rehabilitation protocols to ensure support across the BAL spectrum, the authors recommend a multidisciplinary team approach over the user's lifetime. Breakout sessions at the Global Collaborative Congress on OI (GCCO) were convened around key topics, including rehabilitation. Current best practice, gaps in the literature, and needs for future research were captured. The authors used these findings along with the available peer-reviewed literature and expert opinion to frame the consensus statements presented in this article. The authors present 3 consensus statements describing each phase of care-preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative.

Purpose: Medically tailored transitional foods (TFs) may be a clinically viable alternative to pureed consistency for individuals requiring texture-modified foods. However, little remains known about the performance of TFs during the swallow. The purpose of this investigation was to describe oropharyngeal swallowing physiology in patients with dysphagia during consumption of TFs as compared to pureed solids.
