Hello Dear Researchers,
I am a PhD 2nd Year student at a university in Japan. I am from health science/ rehabilitation medicine background.
I am trained to be an independent researcher. From my first year, I have realized I couldn't make many things which I supposed to do. In that case, as I am trying to be an independent researcher as a PhD student; please give me your tips how to be more productive and focused in my study and research. However, you might share the routines and habits that I should have.
Discuss the significance of early rehabilitation and long-term care in optimizing outcomes for TBI survivors.
Early mobility and rehabilitation play a crucial role in improving outcomes and promoting recovery for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Historically, ICU patients were often kept immobile due to concerns about safety and stability, but growing evidence supports the benefits of early mobilization and rehabilitation in this population.
Soils that are physically destroyed by bombardment with various types of weapons lose their identity due to the destruction of their genetic profile. Is there any practice of rehabilitating such war-degraded soils?

Ex-convicts often face difficulties to reintegrate the workplace. Even though there are NGOs and rehabilitation programs to assist the latter, recidivism is very common. It is understandable that HR professionals want to hire the best talent for their company. But by doing so, are they constantly rejecting candidates based on their past criminal records? If so, can these companies still be considered as equal opportunity employers?
I would like to inquiry about the history of occupational therapy in your countries. In this topic, there are some documents in US or UK. However, as far as I know, the history of other countries is not enough.
In Japan, the dawn of occupational therapy had started together physical therapy to legislate them in the 1960s. Japan had held a lot of patients with cerebral vascular accidents or mental health problems and struggled to build a system of rehabilitation. At that time, the economic boom of Japan had made the rehabilitation system financially enriched. I have heard such episodes and many troubles from senior occupational therapists.
I would like to know the history of occupational therapy in your country. One of the most interesting topics is the definition of “Occupational therapy”. I think the explanation in Japan is difficult to understand for people except for occupational therapists. I would like to communicate with each other. If you know the academic documents on this topic, please let me share the information.

dear colleagues,
conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis is not easy especially in the physiotherapy field, even if sometimes I feel I can do the entire steps alone but it needs collaboration with others according to Cochrane guidelines.
I am looking for a systematic review group ( teamwork) that has the same enthusiasm to conduct papers soon.

I'm doing a systematic review of rehabilitation and return to sport after LCL injury.
From the included studies I have, not all the studies have a rehabilitation-phased protocol. What is the best way to present the rehabilitation interventions used across the different studies in a table? Would it be best to have columns of the phases, and for the studies that don;t have a phase protocol, write not available and create a column for exercises/modalities etc?
Any help would be appreciated in how to best present this information as it's confusing on how to of about it.
Which is the best preferred insole material in the business for a diabetic/fracture walker by practicing orthotists, rehab professionals and developers? The insole will be in direct contact with the plantar face of the foot.
1. Polyurethane (Poron L32)- Better sweat absorption, low resilience, elastic
2. Polyethylene (Plastozote M)- Good stress area distribution
3. EVA (Nora AL)- Stiffness, wear resistance
4. Other alternate suggestions

Hello, we applied Epidural Electrical Stimulation to a patient who had a Spinal Cord Injury for the first time in Turkey. As a result of my literature research, no information was given about the design of rehabilitation programs. How should the rehabilitation program be shaped for this patient? Also, how should epidural electrical stimulation mapping be?
What tool do you use to make clinical decisions?
Example:
a)sum of criteria (signs - symptoms);
b)the weighting of clinical scales;
c)use of RPS form and application of a CORE set ICF and thus obtain an operating profile?
I'm looking for a simple scale, that evaluate children motor handicap in general, not specific to only one affection.
Thank you,
I would love to know the existing approaches and ideas to make it possible!
It would be so nice if i could get help because i have to prepare one class about how sport helps people with some sort of addiction to any substance and i haven't found much information about it.
I really apreciate any help, thank you.

To evaluate participants with follow up interviews, who completed residential rehabilitation and now currently in the community. The objective is to assess why they relapsed if they did, and what helped them to be abstinent after engaging with a community.
Many suspected cases of Corona virus are self or home quarantine , some of them may have difficulty in breathing and other symptoms but are still having negative report for coronavirus disease. So what should be the advice given by Physiotherapist to them.
Participating in an ICU based study looking at intubated and ventilated COVID patients first out of bed rehabilitation session with Physiotherapists and trying to determine if it is safe by using group analysis to analyse physiological parameters such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and oxygenation. Currently very little data on what the MCID to determine how much of a change in these parameters would be clinically important that may determine if rehabilitation is safe for this patient group.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The novel Covid-19 pandemic gives rise to a global increase in ICU admissions.
Due to the nature of disease, the high incidence and a longer stay on intensive care, we can expect a tremendous increase in ICUAW (intensive care unit acquired weakness).
I wanted to ask if there is research conducted and data available describing the incidence and prevalence of CIP and CIM (critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy resp.) post Covid-19.
I would like to know whether there is a predisposition for one or the other in function of a more specific rehabilitation.
Friendly greetings.

Hi All,
I am working on the rehabilitation of a fire-damaged structure.
Should I consider the Column below Soil structurally deficient.
visually it doesn't look like fire affected the column below grade.
Should I retrofit whole member or just the section above plinth beam.
as Slab on Grade is a 6" the Plain Concrete Slab which is difficult to chissel/excavate.
May I know someone that have full data of any rehabilitation process that used electromyography data for that movement?
Some threatened endemic plants, which were more widespread in the cold ages (relict), when the environmental conditions were appropriate, their rehabilitation process is very difficult. These plants are restricted in their survival to the presence of water, as they are spread around springs and wells saturated with water throughout the year. As a result of successive droughts, the plant was confined to the tops of the mountains (which sometimes provides it with a continuous source of water as a result of the snow). In some cases, due to the nature of the confined micro-habitat (steep, water-rich mountain cliffs), it is extremely difficult to use seedlings in the rehabilitation process, and the only opportunity is to grow plants in the wild through previously treated seeds to break dormancy. Although these seeds germinate, their survival rates do not exceed 1%. How can we improve the survival rate of these new plants, taking into account the dry and water-poor desert environment?

I am currently doing my research on sustainable rehabilitation of selected abandoned mine sites in Namibia. One of the selected site has got a huge slag dump and is a source of heavy metal pollution especially arsenic, zinc, lead and vanadium.
Dear colleagues! I would like to clarify for myself, when you use the ICF to assess the rehabilitation potential of a child, do you use the ICF for adults or use the ICF for children and youth version? I am asking this question because I heard that the version for children and youths was canceled. How true is this information?
Hi there,
I am eager to hear from researchers or clinicians who have used n-of-1 studies for the above purposes. They seem to offer advantages over many other study designs, particularly for when there is little guidance or predictors of outcome on which therapeutic option to choose for a patient. They also seem rare, and most of the literature I've seen so far suggests that they have mostly been used for trying out different medicines.
I'm hoping to hear some encouraging stories of their use, but can see that there may be limitations with implementing them (due to costs / time etc.)
I'm working on project to better understand comprehensive rehabilitative needs for people with a history of low-voltage electrical injury. Progressive cellular damage in low-voltage electrical injury sequelae isn't well understood. Providing rehabilitation options for clients with ongoing rehabilitation needs will improve quality of life.
Historically, research indicates that people with a history of electrical injury experience the initial injury and then a unique neurological/neuropsych sequelae (including muscle weakness, arrhythmia, tardive seizures, general motor dysregulation, channelopathies, brainstem dysfunction, cataracts and deficits in memory, executive functioning, visual perceptual, visual spatial, visual processing, auditory processing and sensory integration).
The constellation of electrical injury sequelae symptoms is vast. Presently there is limited information on comprehensive rehabilitative needs. This project is designed to fill a present gap in rehabilitative research to improve quality of life including academic and employment outcomes.
"The long-term sequelae of electrical injury are difficult to study. The strength of the literature is impaired by the necessity of retrospective methods and case studies that typically describe small cohorts. Despite these limitations, there are consistent reports of similar findings of late effects of electrical injury" (Wesner & Hickie, 2013).
"Most of the literature associates these long-term sequelae with a highly diffuse injury ... The appearance of these late consequences of electrical injury might be substantially delayed, with onset 1 to 5 or more years after the electrical injury." (Wesner & Hickie, 2013).

How standard rehabilitation (rehabilitation -physiatric interventions) be practiced safely and keeping the patients safe during COVID 19 pandemic ?
a) Rehabilitation medicine practice requires good physician/therapist relationship including physical/psychological contacts, b) many of the low resource rehabilitation settings have space and rehabilitation health care worker shortage and c) Rehabilitation is a continuum of care from acute/critical care to home/community)
I believe that there are a number of areas in which we should discuss how to improve clinical rehabilitation for patients. For example regarding the issue of where the majority of rehabilitation should take place;
It could be argued that the more rehabilitation takes place in the family home the better the potential for the patient for the following reasons;
Working Environment: Apparently, the environment we are in determines how we live our lives, and the influence of family, friends and neighbours needs to be appreciated and incorporated more into rehabilitation. Gladwell (2011) introduces the ‘Rosetto Effect’ (apparent cardiovascular prevention from living in a close community environment), and rehabilitation patients may also benefit from the cumulative effects of rehabilitating at home. As brain changes are context dependent (Robertson 2012), home advantage increases testosterone release due to associated cues, and the physical and social world we inhabit shape our brain. Home creates a set of smells, sounds, cues that reduce stress. Any safety signal (being at home) acts as an antidote to some of the damaging effects from the stress of being disabled and potentially losing control of independence. Furthermore, it also releases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) a brain fertiliser that helps foster new connections in brain. Thus being at home actually inhibits stress and its toxic consequences. If home is associated with a signal that we will not be subject to stress i.e. warning signals, then does it not make sense to carry out more rehabilitation at home.
What is your opinion of this? Thanks Ken
My position on this is perhaps slightly different to some others as I was working in East London helping Moslem run colleges as a consultant at the time students were being radicalised and recruited, and I am perhaps more aware of what was happening, especially within Bangladesh communities.
a) Find out the disability situation of the defined region/settings which is truly non-existent
b) Needs of Rehabilitation Medicine at low resource region and settings : take the examples from high resource settings
c) Capacity Building eg Rehabilitation professionals education/ training /job creation/placements/ team meetings and quality control
d) Rehabilitation in national focus specific areas like Musculoskeletal Disorders and Neurological -orthopedic conditions
e) Rehabilitation at disaster and austere situations
f) Rehabilitation leaders development
In your opinion, in a program of rehabilitation of motor deficit with tDCS, a condition of neoformation or tumor removal is a criteria of exclusion?
Hello,
I am willing to submit my manuscript in JNER of Biomed central journal. Regarding adding figures in latex file, in the authors guidelines , it says that the figures should be added separately under a FIGURE section at the END of the tex file. I have a doubt regarding the following instruction - " Each figure of a manuscript should be submitted as a single file that fits on a single page in portrait format." Does it mean that the pdflatex generated should contain just one figure per page? Anyone, if you have any prior experience on submitting to JNER, could you guide me in this regard.
So if you use one, please share your cases. If you not use it, please answer: have you considered using them?
I know that such systems are used for rehabilitation, training of athletes, animation and in other areas. I would like to know your best cases at the current time.

Self-immolation is a common suicidal method that is placed in burn injury category that required long-term treatment as well as social and emotional rehabilitation. The situation for survivors is further aggravated by the limited access to psychiatric care following physical
treatment, and the post-treatment stigmatization by family and community members.
How can we prevent stigmatization in women who committed self immolation?
I have recently read that some people think that extremist offenders should be kept in prisons separately from other inmates, make sure they can't corrupt the other inmates and get them to commit terrorist acts, this is a one of the solution that has been recently presented on the question about how to deal with extremist offenders. Although I have to admit that the nature of crime that this offenders did is quite different than the majority of other crimes that we come across, I don't think that this solution works. What's wrong with this solution? Firstly, I think that if you keep extremist offenders together and isolated from the other inmates they may get better at what they do, they will share/learn new practices which will help them to perform better than they did before. Secondly, they probably will find it more difficult to get rehabilitated because of the pressure of majority of the people that they live with on their landings, any desire towards rehabilitation can be seen as a sign of weakness in the eyes of extremists that are not changed, this may cause violence and other issues. Thirdly, isolated them from the rest of community will not prepare them to live in the community after released, and if we fail in delivering that, all of us have to suffer the consequences. This kind of offenders should be given the chance to change themselves and shouldn't be isolated, they need our trust in order to be able to change their life. This action is so vital for them and for the entire society. Isolated them unless is "for ever" will not get us anything, will damage their chance of getting rehabilitation, waste our resource and threaten our security. Changing their mind, this is what these offenders need, this process requires trust, good example and help, we as a society have got this obligation to offer that and we have to fulfil our obligation. We should treat these offenders as they treated us by using this algorithm, "we against them", we have to treat them differently, we all together, we are all humans". We can't change them if we do the same thing like they did to us. We have to try to help them by changing their mind, and we can do that by giving them the chance to live among other inmates, obviously we have to watch them carefully and correct all their mistakes, but we shouldn't stop thinking that they can changed themselves. If we isolated them we just protect the others, or protect us for a short period of time, which is not good at all, in this case we definitely can't afford to think like that.
Every year, millions of people suffer from injuries that require long-term medical rehabilitation. The rehabilitation process is typically complex, with physical and psychological dimensions, and outcomes are often difficult to guarantee.
Through novel application of robotics technology, however, some aspects of rehabilitation may soon look very different. New medical robots are being developed to help people with a variety of medical conditions on their road to recovery.
Do you have any clinical experience or study results?
Dear all,
I have been searching through the literature for examples of possible impacts on biological communities of interventions targeted at restoring / stabilizing landslides. I found just a few studies focusing on plant/invertebrates. I wonder whether there are no works about the potential impact of landslide restoration/rehabilitation on other animal groups/species (I'm particularly interested in birds), or I missed something...
Any hint would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

A RC slab undergoing a considerably large deflection, it can easily be noted visually. The slab is a rectangular in shape resting on walls from the four sides. This large deflection is due to inappropriate design (low concrete grade and low reinforcement) and overloading. How can this slab be rehabilitated ?
