Absolutely fantastic week at @acrmrehab.bsky.social immersing ourselves in the latest #braininjury research, strategies, RTSS guidelines and innovations #ACRM2025
Much exciting knowledge to bring back to our service!
🙏 Thank you to Jamie Gibson, Jade Sampford & Gareth Jones at #ACRM2025! They shared the TANGO study – co-designed communication partner training – and how RTSS supports implementation of behavior change interventions in rehab. 💡

Access to care is a critical issue for people with #TBI, and many patients need long-term care. Dr. John Whyte will present in this session #ACRM2025 on "Improving Access to Post-acute Care for People with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Next Steps 1953" today at 1:15 pm.

Congratulations to Dr. Amanda Rabinowitz on her receipt of the Mitchell Rosenthal Award from the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM)! The Award was presented today during the #ACRM2025 Annual Meeting.
This proposal outlines a scientific approach for advancing precision rehabilitation through a novel Causal Framework. The framework aims to optimize therapeutic interventions by integrating data science, artificial intelligence (AI), and causal inference. It synthesizes concepts from Computational Neurorehabilitation, the International Classification of Functioning and Disability (ICF), and the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS). Central to this approach is the development of formal causal models, referred to as "digital twins," which simulate individual patient recovery trajectories. These models leverage heterogeneous, longitudinal data, encompassing clinical assessments and high-resolution measurements obtained via AI-powered movement analysis, such as computer vision-based gait analysis. The RTSS plays a critical role by enabling detailed documentation of treatment targets, active ingredients (viewed as causal influences), and mechanisms, which directly inform the construction of these causal models. The resulting models allow for counterfactual analysis—predicting how a patient might respond to different interventions. This informs an Optimal Dynamic Treatment Regimen (ODTR), guiding the selection of therapies to maximize long-term function across multiple ICF levels (body function, activity, participation), focusing on patient-valued outcomes. Illustrative case studies include EMG biofeedback for spinal cord injury, modeling its effects on motor function via mechanisms like activity-dependent plasticity, and post-stroke gait rehabilitation, integrating neurophysiology and kinematics to differentiate recovery mechanisms and predict outcomes from various interventions (e.g., high-intensity training, FES, AFOs). The framework acknowledges challenges like data integration and model complexity, emphasizing the need for transdisciplinary efforts and advanced methods like causal representation learning.
