Examining The Differences In Functional Outcomes For Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury After Acute Rehabilitation And Subacute Rehabilitation: A Review Of The Literature, Michael Rangel, Ashley Kakkanatt
Examining The Differences In Functional Outcomes For Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury After Acute Rehabilitation And Subacute Rehabilitation: A Review Of The Literature, Michael Rangel, Ashley Kakkanatt
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the major causes of morbidity in the US [1-4]. Studies suggest TBI patients’ enrollment in a rehabilitation program strongly predicts social reintegration. The structure and outcomes of inpatient rehabilitation programs, including acute and subacute rehabilitation, are not well-delineated [5-7].
DESIGN
A structured review of current literature was conducted. Articles were screened using the search string: (post-traumatic brain injury OR post-TBI OR traumatic brain injury OR TBI) AND (acute rehabilitation OR subacute rehabilitation) AND (outcomes OR functional outcomes) NOT (outpatient OR outpatient populations) NOT (pediatric OR pediatric populations). Articles were limited to 1990 …

Post operative recovery from Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) includes extensive rehabilitation of 6-9 months with return to sport/activity at 12 months
Rehabilitation is initiated shortly following surgery to limit quadriceps and hamstring atrophy, maximizing long term tibiofemoral joint stability and functional outcomes
The best way to achieve improved muscle strength and prevent atrophy is progressive overload training, however, these activities cannot be performed post operatively without risk to the reconstructed knee
Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) involves impairing the blood supply for short periods through the application of an air-filled bladder or cuff to restrict the venous drainage of …
