Spinal cord injuries from CIDP-related spinal tumors have no evidence-based rehabilitation methods. This case report discusses CIDP, spinal cord lesion owing to a spine tumor, and tertiary care interdisciplinary rehabilitation. It shows how medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and evidence guide outcome measures, care plans, and clinical decisions help to overcome CIDP. Methods: In this report, we follow a 27-year-old male who began experiencing gradual paresthesia and mild weakening in his lower extremities for six weeks. After two months, the lumbar spine had the initial operation (laminectomy) because of the extreme pain. After the operation, he was pain-free, able to walk, and even started riding again. Pain in his lower midback, similar to cramping, and moderate swelling in his left ankle forced him into a wheelchair three years after his initial operation (intradural-extramedullary spinal space-occupying lesion at L2–L5 level). After the second operation (laminectomy), he had trouble in walking, lost sensation below the knees on both legs, and experienced mild incontinence. As the patient was confined to a wheelchair, he was standing with the help of two people. Significant main muscle group weakening was one of the first noticeable symptoms. Therapeutic exercise, balance training, functional training, and progressive endurance activities were the main components of the intervention. Berg balance score increased from 5 to 23, which is an eligible score for discharge. Results: Clinical outcomes for the man with spinal cord lesion and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) were improved with interdisciplinary therapy. The patient underwent a first lumbar spine operation, which initially eased pain and allowed him to walk and ride again after feeling gradual paresthesia and minor weakened in his lower extremities. Conclusion: For this patient with CIDP with spinal cord lesion due to spinal tumor, effective collaborative team communication and interdisciplinary management worked to optimize clinical decision making and recovery.","PeriodicalId":91676,"journal":{"name":"Edorium journal of disability and rehabilitation","volume":"66 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This is a quantitative type of cross-sectional survey study where 117 samples were assigned purposively from Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). The Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ) was used for the study. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical analysis (SPSS = Statistics package for social science) method. Results: On an average, most of the participants 90.60% (106) were males and other participants 9.40% (11) were females. The maximum numbers of participants 25.6% (30) were in the age range 18–27 years. The majority numbers of participants 33.30% (39) were at secondary level education. The maximum numbers of respondents 22.20% (26) found were day laborer (driver, rickshaw puller, and masons). Most of the participants 63.20% (74) had injuries in 0–2 months earlier. Among 117 participants, 76 (64.95%) participants had no swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) and 41 (35.05%) participants had swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). Conclusions: Swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) is a common problem in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers explored the prevalence of swallowing difficulty among TBI patients. In this study, among 117 participants most of the participants 90.60% (106) were males and 9.40% (11) participants were females. So, swallowing difficulty is common in TBI patients who are associated with other condition of swallowing. According to SDQ score among 117 participants, (35.05%) participants had swallowing difficulties. So, TBI patients are vulnerable for presence of swallowing difficulties.","PeriodicalId":91676,"journal":{"name":"Edorium journal of disability and rehabilitation","volume":"165 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136382116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a poor understanding of the impact of anger and perceived injustice in the therapeutic alliance in this setting. The aim was to review the current literature examining anger and perceived injustice and its impact on the therapeutic alliance in the context of chronic pain. Methods: In July 2020 a search was carried out of electronic databases [Academic Search Complete, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED), Biomedical Reference Collection, General Science, Medline, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, Social Sciences Full Text and SPORTDiscus]. Further results were obtained from reference lists. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for systematic reviews. Results: The initial search yielded 255 results, and after duplicates were removed and inclusion and exclusion criteria applied, the final result was three papers to be reviewed. In total 225 patients were analyzed. Of the papers reviewed, all showed a negative correlation between perceived injustice and patient rating of the therapeutic alliance. Anger expression is the mediator of the proposed perceived injustice and therapeutic alliance relationship. Conclusion: The review addresses the potential role of anger expression in the modulation of the therapeutic alliance. The assessment of anger expression in chronic pain patients may be beneficial. Clinicians should be aware of its implications on the therapeutic alliance. The review highlights the need for further research which could lead to potential therapeutic interventions for such patient groups.","PeriodicalId":91676,"journal":{"name":"Edorium journal of disability and rehabilitation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76015015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ongoing challenges exist as to how to best capture outcomes for these services, especially considering the multi-faceted service delivery and flexible focus on individual need. A goal setting tool, such as the multidisciplinary goal attainment measurement (MGAM), may be useful to objectively measure client outcomes that are meaningful and relevant to individuals within this complex environment. This study aims to review MGAM client outcomes within a stroke population in a community rehabilitation context. Methods: Pre and post goal outcome data was collected by multidisciplinary team members with stroke survivors, across the domains of impairment, activity/participation, and knowledge/information. These pre and post scores were compared with each other, as well as a measure of everyday functioning. Results: Clinically significant average change scores and statistically significant changes pre and post intervention were found across all domains on the MGAM. There were no correlations noted between MGAM and length of stay, quality of life and everyday functioning outcomes. Conclusion: As evidenced in the stroke population of this study, MGAM offers a unique outcome measure different to other clinical measures as it captures client outcomes that are relevant and meaningful to individual need across a range of domains within a multi-disciplinary setting. These formalized goal setting practices and outcomes, such as the MGAM, may assist in providing standardized outcome processes across various community rehabilitation settings.","PeriodicalId":91676,"journal":{"name":"Edorium journal of disability and rehabilitation","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75811125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a cross-sectional study was performed to objectively evaluate, and identify factors contributing to, PA and sleep in adults with hEDS and G-HSD. Methods: Twenty female adults with hEDS, 23 with G-HSD, and 32 healthy controls participated. Physical activity and sleep were measured using two tri-axial ActiGraphs worn over seven consecutive days. Furthermore, questionnaires evaluating frequently occurring symptoms were completed.

Results: Daily step counts were significantly lower in both patient groups compared to the control (CTR) group (p<0.04) and to the recommended 7500 steps (p≤0.001). Other PA and sleep variables did not differ between the groups. In the hEDS group, body mass index and kinesiophobia were related to PA, explaining 53% of the variance in step counts. In the G-HSD group, 18.5% of the variance in step counts could be attributed to the variance in pain impact. Conclusion: Adults with hEDS and G-HSD had lower step counts than healthy peers, which may be partially due to kinesiophobia and the impact of pain respectively. No differences in objectively measured sleep parameters were identified. Treatment focusing on fear-avoidance beliefs and pain relief could potentially increase daily step counts and benefit overall health in these patients.","PeriodicalId":91676,"journal":{"name":"Edorium journal of disability and rehabilitation","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76832807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
