title: Exploring perspectives on implementing the World Health Assembly’s Resolution for Strengthening Rehabilitation in Health Systems in Switzerland: a representative rehabilitation stakeholder survey

description: In 2023, the World Health Assembly endorsed a Resolution on Strengthening Rehabilitation in Health Systems. This study aims to explore the perspectives of Swiss rehabilitation stakeholders regarding the relevance, challenges, and opportunities of the Resolution for Switzerland. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Swiss rehabilitation stakeholders. Purposive snowball sampling with a quota system ensured a representative sample. Survey development and reporting adhered to the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES). Descriptive analysis was applied to quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used for free-text responses. A representative sample of 282 Swiss rehabilitation stakeholders completed the survey. Developing multidisciplinary rehabilitation skills emerged as the most relevant action in the Resolution. Primary challenges centred on financing and workforce issues and integrated care, while main opportunities included policy development and advocacy efforts. This study enhances the understanding of current challenges and opportunities for rehabilitation in Switzerland. Leveraging this approach and related findings into national and international policy considerations can support policymakers responding in a contextualised manner to the urges of the Resolution. Financing, workforce and integrated care issues pose significant challenges to the implementation of the World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution on Strengthening Rehabilitation in Switzerland.Policy development, advocacy chances, workforce development and existing expertise present opportunities for improving rehabilitation services.The results of this survey will be synthesised, together with available evidence, in the format of a policy brief, facilitating informed decision-making and policy development in regards to the WHA Resolution on Strengthening Rehabilitation.This study serves as a model case for other countries’ implementation efforts for the WHA Resolution for Rehabilitation, providing insights and guidance for enhancing rehabilitation services globally.

title: Investigating the reporting of participant characteristics relating to health equity in randomised controlled trials of non-pharmacological interventions for post-stroke anxiety and/or depression: a scoping review

description: The review aims to identify what characteristics are reported in randomised controlled trials for the non-pharmacological management of post-stroke anxiety and/or depression and whether research has explored the correlation between participant characteristics and their outcomes. A comprehensive systematic search was completed of five databases: CINAHL, Medline, PsychInfo, Web of Science, and The World Health Organisation. Google Scholar was also accessed. The reporting of participant characteristics was assessed by adapting the PROGRESS-Plus framework, a research framework of protected characteristics known to impact health equity (such as, age). 19 papers (<i>n</i> = 2187) were included. There was generally poor reporting of characteristics associated with an increased likelihood of post-stroke anxiety and/or depression. All studies reported the gender/sex of participants, 18 studies reported the age of participants, and 11 studies reported lesion location. None of the studies reported the sexual orientation or pre-existing disabilities of participants. There was variation in the reporting and analyses of protected characteristics. Future research should follow a health equity framework to ensure reporting of protected characteristics to support clinicians in identifying whether the proposed interventions are relevant to their stroke population and consider undergoing subgroup analyses to compare outcomes across protected characteristics.

title: Effects of exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training on cognitive function and sustained effects in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

description: We investigated the effect of exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training on the improvement of cognitive function in stroke patients by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of current relevant studies. Four electronic databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase, were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training on cognitive function in patients with stroke that were publicly available from the starting year of the databases to 10 July 2024. A total of 14 RCTs were included. Statistical results showed that exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training had a small effect size improvement in cognitive function for stroke patients (<i>SMD</i> = 0.41, 95% CI: [0.26, 0.57], <i>p</i> = 0.00). Moreover, persistent effects on cognitive functioning were observed after the end of the intervention (<i>SMD</i> = 0.24, 95% CI: [0.05, 0.43], <i>p</i> = 0.01). Subgroup analyses revealed that working memory, cognitive flexibility, total execution function, and total cognitive function had significant improvements in the cognitive function dimension group. Subgroup analyses of different exercise modalities, intervention periods, and different forms of control revealed significant differences within each subgroup. Exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training significantly improves cognitive function in stroke patients with favorable sustained effects. Exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training improves cognitive function in stroke patients with good sustained effects.Exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training was more significant if the intervention lasted longer than four weeks and the frequency of the intervention was three times per week.Rehabilitation professionals may consider exercise combined with cognitive dual-task training as a good choice of modality to improve cognitive functioning in stroke patients, which has good sustained results.

title: Impact of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health personal factors on outcomes following lower limb orthopaedic surgery in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review

description: To investigate impact of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) personal factors on pain, function, or quality of life following lower limb orthopaedic surgery in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Systematic review of prospective studies of lower limb orthopaedic surgery in children with CP reporting relationships between ICF personal factors, and pain, function, or quality of life. Eight prospective studies reporting various orthopaedic procedures (median follow-up 2.1 years) were eligible, but not sufficiently homogenous for meta-analysis. Functional outcomes most reported (<i>n</i> = 6), then pain (<i>n</i> = 3) and quality of life (<i>n</i> = 1). Personal factors were age (<i>n</i> = 3), sex (<i>n</i> = 4), child education (<i>n</i> = 1), and co-morbidities (<i>n</i> = 1). Older children had lower function (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01), and children in “special education” greater improvement in function compared to those in “regular” education (<i>p</i> = 0.001) post-single-event multi-level surgery (SEMLS). Age and sex not associated with function, pain, or quality of life post-single-joint procedures (<i>p</i> &gt; 0.05), except females with higher pain intensity (<i>p</i> = 0.019) and lower function (<i>p</i> = 0.018) post-Schanz procedure. No association between sex and function post-SEMLS (<i>p</i> &gt; 0.05). Further prospective cohort studies are needed to understand the influence of personal factors identified in this review and investigate the effect of other personal factors on pain, quality of life, and function. Outcomes of lower limb orthopaedic surgery in children with cerebral palsy are influenced by personal factors, and these should be considered by health professionals when planning peri-operative care.Age influences outcomes such that older children have lower levels of function post-single-event multi-level surgery (SEMLS) than those younger.Sex may influence outcomes such that girls report higher pain intensity, and lower function post-Schanz procedure than boys.Educational environments may also influence outcomes such that children in special education show greater functional improvements post-SEMLS than children in regular education.
