The HOME Study (Healthy Options Made Easy): Telehealth Nutrition Sessions for People Living With Brain Injury
Brain injury is a leading cause of disability in the United States. When survivors of brain injury recover from the initial injury and return home to live in the community, they often face chronic health conditions that warrant nutrition therapy, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and overweight …
The NIPA Study Naloxegol Administration to Prevent Opioids Induced Gastrointestinal Motility Disturbance in Brain Injured PAtients
Impaired gastrointestinal transit (IGT) especially constipation, is common among patients under mechanical ventilation, occurring in up to 80 % of the patients during the first week, and has been associated with worse outcome in intensive care unit (ICU). Although IGT in critically ill patients is multifactorial and some components are …
Animal Assisted Therapy After Pediatric Brain Injury: Mediators and Moderators of Treatment Response.
Children requiring inpatient rehabilitation treatment following acquired brain injury (ABI) are at risk for poor engagement in rehabilitative therapies. A within subject crossover design will be used to determine whether involving dogs in physical and occupational therapies while receiving inpatient rehabilitation improves patient engagement, how involving dogs improves engagement, and …
The Parkwood Pacing and Planning™ App
In efforts to assist people who have had a concussion (mild traumatic brain injury), the Parkwood Pacing and Planning™ app has been developed and tested and will be released to the public. The app uses a point system where users have a daily point maximum assigned based on symptom severity …
Tablet-based Application for Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive impairments such as deficits in attention, executive functions, perception, language, speech, arithmetics, and memory are very common symptoms after acquired brain injury, which can be caused by neurological diseases such as stroke, cerebral haemorrhage or traumatic brain injury. Around 83% of patients with brain injury suffer from a sequelae …
ABI-aftercare in Motion: Multidisciplinary Aftercare in the Home Environment in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury
The goal of this implementation study is to improve aftercare for patients with ABI receiving outpatient rehabilitation. The ABI-motion program was developed to improve and active lifestyle and to prevent persistent complaints after ABI and poor HR-QoL.The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the ABI-motion program feasible? What …
Group Music Therapy for Acquired Brain Injury
The study aims to analyse the impact of music therapy-based treatment on the comfort and well-being of patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). To achieve this objective, it is proposed to validate and implement a music therapy-based assessment and treatment protocol. The protocol will be tested in a pilot sample …
Implementation of a Home-based Computerized Cognitive Rehabilitation Program for Patients With ABI
Rationale: Patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) may suffer from persistent cognitive deficits and/or subjective cognitive complaints, especially in the domains of attention and working memory. Cognitive deficits are associated with anxiety and depression and may affect social participation and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). Approximately 25% of the patients …
Driving Simulator Training For Adults With Acquired Brain Injuries
The aim of this project is to prepare adults with acquired brain injuries for on-road driving by using the driving simulator and increase participant's comfort level, confidence, and independence within their occupation of driving. The occupational therapy faculty are interested in identifying the impact driving simulation training has on individuals …
Stimulus Equivalence Learning in Acquired Brain Injury.
Stimulus Equivalence Learning (SEL) is a form of learning in which stimuli (such as words, pictures, or sounds) become linked to one another in memory, even though this specific connection has not been directly taught. In a typical SEL task, two relations are taught explicitly (A→B and A→C), and the …
