Effectiveness of 3D-printed Upper Extremity Device for Chronic Neurological Impairment
Report on the results of the five adults with UE mobility impairment due to stroke experiences with a lightweight, customized, powered hand orthosis. Study measures utilized were Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Box and Blocks, and Action Research Arm Test
Screening Tool to Ensure Optimal Patient Care and Function Post COVID Diagnosis
We developed a screening tool of questions to determine which patients would benefit from outpatient PM&R visits after discharge from the hospital/ED that included: four questions looking at function, shortness of breath and cognition. Screening questions were created so a YES response triggers a referral to PM&R to assess functional and cognitive needs for the patient

An Integrative Review of Clinical Outcome Assessments Used to Measure Carryover Effects of Exoskeletons and Functional Electrical Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury
Introduction Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and exoskeletons are rehabilitation technologies that provide direct functional ability and potential carryover effects Carryover effects may be due to neuromuscular recovery, behavioral compensation, or a combination of both (Figure 1) Clinical outcome assessments (COAs) are used to measure recovery of function with and without the device o
