Conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) can present with varying degrees of motor, sensory, and central processing impairments that can dramatically impact daily life activities and increase the risk of injury due to falls. A majority of individuals who ...

However, there are few studies that describe empirically the conditions under which restraint is utilized. This project was a retrospective analysis of incident reports on the application of therapeutic restraint with four students (ages 10-16 years) who had acquired brain injury and attended a ...
In recent years, there has been marked interest in looking at the psychological consequences of medical conditions, such as traumatic or acquired brain injuries. Coping strategies are essential for clinical recovery and for dealing with the stressful events that a clinical condition brings with it. ...
blood supply (stroke, aneurysm), lack of oxygen to the brain (anoxia, hypoxia), viral infections (encephalitis), or damage from a resected brain tumour. This definition excludes brain abnormalities arising from a congenital disorder, developmental disability, or progressive neurological conditions [1]...
-directed resistance (BDR) until the person was no longer able to overcome the forces; this threshold measurement can be used to estimate the potential MWPF that a person could theoretically move at if they were to utilize the propulsive forces during normal (unresisted) walking conditions....

This study describes a dynamic non-linear mathematical approach for modeling the course of disease in acquired brain injury (ABI) patients. Data from a multicentric study were used to evaluate the reliability of the Michaelis–Menten (MM) model applied to well-known clinical variables that assess ...
The second category is moderating approaches, which can be used in the acute phase of ABI recovery for management of severe behavioural episodes that may be associated with conditions present at this time, such as agitation and confusion. Moderating approaches can also be used as a prelude to ...
ABI indicates acquired brain injury; ESD, early supported discharge; RCT, randomized controlled trial; TBI, traumatic brain injury. Table 2. Summary of included studies.
