Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in conscious mice: a refined method for repetitive applications without restraint
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for painless, non-invasive brain stimulation is a promising approach to enhance recovery after stroke. However, the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the effects of tDCS remain unclear, impeding its use in humans and necessitating research in experimental animals. Unlike humans, who receive tDCS fully awake, experimental models of tDCS […]
A Retrospective Examination of Referral Patterns to Physical Therapy After Concussion: Have We Kept Up with Current Guidelines?
CONCLUSIONS: The time to PT evaluation was similar to that found in other studies conducted prior to publication of recent concussion guidelines. This continued delay in being seen by PT may be due to lack of awareness of concussion guidelines by non-specialty providers, and limited availability of concussion specialist therapists contributing to long appointment wait […]
Prevalence of Vestibular Disorders in Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): A Scoping Review
CONCLUSION: Vestibular dysfunction is prevalent among individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI, although the methods of assessment vary. Future studies should aim to be more consistent in documenting the severity of TBI, the evaluation of vestibular dysfunction, and determining interventions that are most beneficial for this population.
Association of sports and physical activity with mild traumatic brain injury and behavioral and neurocognitive function
CONCLUSION: Participation in soccer and/or climbing showed positive associations with mTBI, while participation in yoga showed a negative association. Sports/PA participation was related to better behavioral/emotional and neurocognitive functioning, regardless of children's injury history.
Educational Perspectives on Compassionate Concussion Care: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSION: This review highlights the implicit paradigms shaping concussion-care education and their limitations for cultivating compassion. Constructivism offers the most promise for advancing compassionate practice by fostering collaboration, reflection, and learner agency. Given the interpersonal, cognitive and contextual demands of concussion care, adopting a constructivist orientation may better prepare physicians to meet patient and caregiver […]
