Cost-efficiency data for rehabilitation are complex to collect. Further, cost-saving occurs in other budgets, limiting their effect to systems that allow rational societal planning. Natasha Lannin et al. replicated UK studies, finding similar global savings. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/1...

'The government seems to be listening to our calls to place physiotherapy staff at the heart of their plans to tackle the major issues faced by the NHS.'

The refreshed workforce plan will likely include an expansion of the number of physiotherapy roles in the community, according to media reports.

💡Excellent presentation from John Hopkins Medical Institutions researchers which found skeletal muscle loss, detected through brain MRIs, is linked with higher risk of #dementia.
📈The study estimates that adults with smaller skeletal muscles are about 60% more likely to develop dementia!

💪Our new MoveWellprogram for Upper Limb helps stroke survivors improve quality of movement of their affected arm and reduce compensatory movements.
It includes virtual Assessments + Exergames for 5 movement types & tracks 6 compensatory movements!

Researchers identified a new measure of wrist kinematics that is reliable & strongly correlates with clinical measures of motor capacity. The measure could allow continuous, objective, & convenient monitoring of motor recovery during rehabilitation after stroke.
