INTRODUCTION: Vestibular hypofunction is associated with dizziness, imbalance, and blurred vision with head movement. Vestibular rehabilitation is the gold standard recommendation to decrease symptoms and improve postural stability. The Clinical Practice Guidelines for vestibular hypofunction suggest home exercises 3-5 times daily, but patient adherence is a problem, with compliance rates often below 50%. METHODS: An app was developed to increase engagement with home exercises by providing exercises as games...

Background Patients staying in acute rehabilitation often use large amounts of opioids during their stay. There are a number of reasons for this increased opioid exposure, including but not limited to daily exercises with physical and occupational therapists, increased demand on a healing body, and use of previously atrophying musculature. Some physiatrists have noticed that patients who concurrently are prescribed medications such as Robaxin seem to require fewer opioids during their stay in acute rehabilitation...

BACKGROUND: Anterior shoulder instability due to labral tears in the dominant arm of cricket fast bowlers can be particularly disabling and results in significant match time loss. This often follows injuries sustained during fielding and training, although micro-instability following repetitive throwing progressing to overt anterior shoulder instability is also known. To ensure ball release speeds of over 140 km/h with different ball variations, these athletes require not only physical fitness and technical skill, but also a completely stable shoulder...

Childhood is critical for developing social, physical, and cognitive functioning. Burns in children are very different from burns in adults because it is difficult for them to save themselves. Their skin is more sensitive and less heat-resistant; their exposure may last longer, worsening the burn. When neglected, severe disabling and deforming contractures caused by burns in children can result in substantial impairment. Therefore, burn rehabilitation should not be carried out by one person but rather by a multidisciplinary team to ensure that all of the patients' physical, psychological, and social requirements are met while the child is in the hospital and after discharge...

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multi-modal program considered standard of care for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The primary goals of CR are managing CVD risk factors and improving patient quality of life. While exercise is the cornerstone, nutrition education delivered by Registered Dietitians (RDs) is considered a core component of CR. Yet, patient constraints to adherence to dietary change and limited availability of RDs represent major barriers to the success of completion of nutrition intervention during CR...

INTRODUCTION: Although a recent joint society scientific statement (the American Association of Cardiovascular Pulmonary Rehabilitation, the American Heart Association, and the American College of Cardiology) suggests home-based cardiac rehab (CR) is appropriate for low- and moderate-risk patients, there are no paradigms to define such individuals with coronary heart disease. METHODS: We reviewed a decade of data from all patients with coronary heart disease enrolled in a single CR center (University of Michigan) to identify the prevalence of low-risk factors, which may inform on consideration for participation in alternative models of CR...
