Trauma Research

KEY FINDING: The most common conditions observed in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic were amputations, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve damage, plexus damage, multiple fractures, joint limitations and soft tissue loss in the musculoskeletal system.

KEY FINDING: The study found that 18.75% of patients with cervical spine fracture dislocation had VAI based on MRI findings.

KEY FINDING: The patient, a 34-year-old male, experienced sudden bilateral lower extremity paralysis while bench pressing.

KEY FINDING: The primary objective is to establish whether the ROWTATE VR intervention plus usual care is more effective than usual care alone for improving participants’ self-reported return to work/education for at least 80% of pre-injury hours at 12 months post-randomisation.

KEY FINDING: Less than half (47%) of the patients with cSCI were operated on within the recommended 24 h time frame after injury.

KEY FINDING: Most calcium homeostasis markers, besides calcium itself, were not routinely checked in patients admitted after traumatic spinal cord injury.

KEY FINDING: Wearable robots can be grouped into three main applications: (1) primary and secondary MSK injury prevention, (2) enhancement of military activities and tasks, and (3) rehabilitation and reintegration.

KEY FINDING: Uncertainty at the crash scene is a major concern for everyone involved, leading to emotional reactions and potentially harmful interventions.

KEY FINDING: Falls from standing height or less were the most common cause of TSCI (54.6%).

KEY FINDING: The return-to-sport (RTS) rate in amateur athletes after an isolated spinal injury was 62% after six months and 81% after twelve months.
