Objective: To compare models of rehabilitation services for people with mental and/or physical disability in order to determine optimal models for therapy and interventions in low- to middle-income countries. Data sources: CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, Business Source Premier, HINARI, CEBHA and PubMed. Study selection: Systematic...

Objectives: To describe the frequency, type, and duration of service interruptions(SI) among Ontarians with subacute, traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and to describe the impact of SI on rehabilitation length of stay(LOS). Design, setting, and participants: Retrospective crosssectional cohort study of individuals admitted for inpatient rehabilita...

Background: Recent studies place the incidence of VTE in SCI between 10% and 30%. Prophylactic anticoagulation for circa 3 months in now routine at most centres. Methods: We analysed administrative data to identify tests carried out to detect VTE for all inpatient admission episodes for the year 2015. Total number of scans and positive results wer...

Introduction: Paraplegics with spinal cord injury, independent in activities of daily living (ADL) are known to have upper limb neuropathy due to constant use for mobility and transfers. Additionally architectural barriers, disabled unfriendly public transport, difficult terrains and sociocultural barriers in a developing country like India, furthe...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the significant causes of morbidity and mortality in the present world. Around 1.6 million persons sustain TBI, whereas 200,000 die annually in India, thus highlighting the rising need for appropriate cognitive rehabilitation strategies. This literature review assesses the current knowledge of various cognitive...

Paraplegics with spinal cord injury (SCI) who are independent in activities of daily living are known to have upper limb neuropathy due to constant use for mobility and transfers. The disabled-unfriendly environment and sociocultural barriers in developing countries such as India add further strain on the upper limbs. It is important to determine t...

Phantom limb pain (PLP) can be disabling for nearly two thirds of amputees. Hence, there is a need to find an effective and inexpensive treatment that can be self administered. Among the non-pharmacological treatment for PLP, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied to the contralateral extremity and mirror therapy are two promisi...

Upper extremity strengthening and gait training with orthoses form a major part of inpatient rehabilitation of paraplegic patients in developing countries. This helps to overcome architectural barriers and limited wheelchair accessible environment in the community. To evaluate the changes in physiological properties of the Triceps Brachii muscle fo...

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is used to manage osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures. Although it is relatively safe, complications after vertebroplasty ranging from minor to devastatingly major ones have been described. Cement leakage into the spinal canal is one such complication. Subacute progressive ascending myelopathy is an infrequ...

To assess the survival in persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) receiving structured follow-up in South India. Retrospective study SETTING: Rehabilitation Centre of a tertiary care university teaching hospital. Persons with traumatic SCI (n=490), residing within 100km radius of our Institute, who were managed and regularly followed up by...

BACKGROUND: Gorham's disease of the spine is very rare and usually associated with poor prognosis. Till date very few cases have been reported in the literature. It is characterized by osseous invasion by angiomatous vascular mass without skip areas, eventually causing lysis of affected bone. Morbidity and mortality are high in those with spinal an...
