Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06154122 (The Feasibility of Virtual Reality-Based Activities for Upper Limb Rehabilitation of People With Acute/Sub-Acute Tetraplegia), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

objectiveTo understand if and how physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs) use activity-based therapy (ABT) and its associated technologies for the rehabilitation of individuals living with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D) in Canadian rehabilitation hospital settings.

designQualitative study.

settingThrough rehabilitation hospitals participating in the Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry, we recruited licensed OTs and PTs to participate in focus groups.

participantsTwelve PTs and ten OTs from nine sites across eight provinces participated. OUTCOME MEASURES: To inform the development of a semi-structured interview guide, we used the Theoretical Domains Framework. To analyze the data, we used interpretive description.

resultsWe identified three themes that influenced therapists' use of ABT and associated technologies for SCI/D rehabilitation. (1) Therapists' decision-making approach to ABT and technology. Therapist roles, site-specific dynamics and goal setting influenced decision-making. Assuming roles such as mentor, liaison and advocate led to more ABT use. Site-specific dynamics concerned levels of ABT knowledge, teamwork, and staffing. In hospital rehabilitation, there was competition between discharge and neurorecovery goals. (2) Therapist perceived individual factors. Patient factors either increased (

conclusionsThe use of ABT and its associated technologies in Canadian rehabilitation hospitals is variable. Ongoing education could be offered, and site-specific implementation strategies could be developed, to promote ABT use.
