Healthcare theory - Rehabilitation Matters Healthcare theory is rarely discussed. It dictates policy and is based on the biomedical model, causing difficulties. Biopsychosocial healthcare is needed.

I have just updated a post on healthcare theory, two years after first posting it. It relates to the foundations that policymakers and politicians used - and the adverse consequences that arise from it. rehabilitationmatters.com/healthcare-t... #rehabilitationmatters

What is rehabilitation? - Rehabilitation Matters What is rehabilitation. This page investigates why the answer is not easy but develops a clear description that is the basis of further detailed discussion.

What is rehabilitation? I have updated the page of my website that introduces this topic. One major point is that it is NOT just therapy or treatment; the crucial point is that it facilitates adaptation. rehabilitationmatters.com/what-is-reha... #neurorehabilitation #rehabilitationmatters

DW. Does using a cognitive task as a distraction (to reduce pain) increase the effectiveness of resistance training after an elbow fracture? This study was too small to conclude (n= 32) but suggests benefit. A larger study could include other fractures. doi.org/10.1016/j.ap... #rehabilitationmatters

The wheel turns again..
#GPs & #CommunityMDTs have 90% of the workload but approx 10% of funding.
How can optimisation of input be achieved?
Prioritising input is also vital.

I have just updated the home page description of my website's new stuff. This link takes you straight to the 'new material' section. rehabilitationmatters.com#new-stuff I . #neurorehab #rehabilitationmatters I have started a section on clinical aspects of rehabilitation but only just started.

And that doesn't include the #AHP vacancies..

Iatrogenic harm is common in health services, and it is not solely from side effects of treatment, as excellently illustrated by an article on iatrogenic harm in functional neurological disorders. The analysis applies to many conditions. doi.org/10.1093/brai... #neurorehab #rehabilitationmatters

Healthy Lifestyle Care vs Guideline-Based Care for Low Back Pain This randomized clinical trial assesses the effectiveness of the Healthy Lifestyle Program compared with guideline-based care for low back pain disability.

A trial of 346 people with chronic back pain and 1+ of overweight, poor diet, low activity, or smoking were offered a Healthy Lifestyle Programme (HeLP) in addition to guideline-best care for it benefited them. doi.org/10.1001/jama... #rehabilitationmatters Maybe will give other long-term benefits.

DW. Mobile health cardiac rehabilitation uses technology to deliver 'therapy' at home. A trial in 400 people with ischaemic heart disease aged 65+ years found no benefit. We should jump off the bandwagon, avoiding waste and risk. doi.org/10.1001/jama... #rehabilitationmatters

Negative trials are more important than positive ones as they prevent waste and pointless risk of harm. A trial of mobile health cardiac rehabilitation (delivery at home via technology) in people aged 65 years or more failed to show any benefit. doi.org/10.1001/jama... #rehabilitationmatters
