Rebecca Hammad
Study design:
Retrospective analysis of treatment data for a cohort of clients with spinal cord injury (SCI) who received therapy for management of edema.
Objective:
To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and benefit of a modified lymphedema treatment approach for treatment of chronic lower extremity edema in persons with SCI.
Setting:
A specialty rehabilitation hospital in Atlanta, GA, USA.
Methods:
Certified lymphedema therapists with experience in SCI rehabilitation modified standard complete decongestive therapy (CDT) techniques to accommodate sensory and motor impairments and ensure skin safety. Therapists applied the modified CDT (mCDT) approach as part of treatment in 59 adults with SCI …

BACKGROUND A script concordance test
(SCT) is a modality for assessing clinical
reasoning. Concerns had been raised about
the plausible validity threat to SCT scores if
students deliberately avoided the extreme
answer options to obtain higher scores. The
aims of the study were firstly to investigate
whether students’ avoidance of the extreme
answer options could result in higher scores,
and secondly to determine whether a
‘balanced approach’ by careful construction of
SCT items (to include extreme as well as
median options as model responses) would
improve the validity of an SCT.
METHODS Using the paired sample t-test, the
actual average …

Huntington’s Disease (HD) is rare neuro-degenerative disease that affects over 700 people in Ireland with a further 9,000 requiring information, support and care. Given the rarity of HD it appears that more education for healthcare professionals is needed. Without this education, people with HD may not receive the high quality care they require. Using the DMAIC framework for quality improvement (QI), this project investigated the need for HD education for healthcare staff in a voluntary mental health service in Dublin. Utilising QI tools such as driver and swim lane diagrams, a fishbone diagram and staff survey, the primary drivers leading …
