Towards a needs-based design of the physical rehabilitation workforce in South Africa
Rehabilitation needs in SA are potentially massive and unmet, highlighting the need for innovative and context-specific rehabilitation that considers current local needs and projected changes. These findings should be considered when designing the NHI and other schemes in SA to ensure human and financial resources are deployed efficiently
Physical Rehabilitation Needs in the BRICS Nations from 1990 to 2017
Background : This study analyzes the current and evolving physical rehabilitation needs of BRICS nations (Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China, South Africa), a coalition of large emergent economies increasingly important for global health. Methods: Secondary, cross-national analyses of data on Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017. Total physical rehabilitation needs, and those stratif…
What is the current evidence of the impact on quality of life whilst waiting for management/treatment of orthopaedic/musculoskeletal complaints? A systematic scoping review
High prevalence and clustering of modifiable CVD risk factors among rural adolescents in southwest Nigeria
There is high level and clustering of CVD risk factors among rural adolescents in Southwest Nigeria. The most common clustering pattern was biased towards dietary factors. The high prevalence of CVD risk factors among rural adolescents in Southwest Nigeria suggests that urgent primary prevention programs are required to prevent the next generation of Nigerians from suffering of CVD
Community services' involvement in the discharge of older adults from hospital into the community
It is plausible that each model identified in this systematic review has a role to play in successfully discharging different cohorts of older adults from hospital. Further research is required to identify appropriate population groups for various discharge models and to select suitable outcome measures to determine the effectiveness of these models, considering all stakeholders' involved
Discharge Planning Quality from the Carer Perspective
Relationship between Occupation and Episodes of Headache That Match Cervical Origin Pain Patterns
The relationship between headache that matches cervical origin pain patterns, occupation, gender, age, and hours of work is examined in a randomly sampled, never-injured population. Although gender was established as a significant factor in the association between occupation and headache, age and hours of work were shown to have no effect. Women working in managerial and professional occupations had a significantly higher risk of cervical origin …
