Rehabilitation services must be prioritised within health systems and accompanied by investment in growing the rehabilitation workforce to meet increasing global demand, argue Manoj Sivan and Stefano Negrini In May 2023, all the member countries of the 76th World Health Assembly (WHA) adopted the first ever global resolution on the urgent need to strengthen rehabilitation in health systems.1 The resolution states that disability is not just a social issue and can result from a lack of timely and long term rehabilitation. By prioritising rehabilitation, health systems can substantially reduce disability and its societal costs. A prerequisite and proxy indicator for the level of provision of rehabilitation services is the lack of rehabilitation staff.2 The WHA resolution will only work if changes are implemented in the next decade to prioritise expanding the rehabilitation workforce in healthcare. The scale of the problem is huge. The Global Burden of Disease study, and the World Health

Mashup Score: 48Is rehabilitation a solution to hospital discharge delays? - 6 month(s) ago
Expanding access to rehabilitation services is a cost effective way to avoid delayed discharges, admission, and readmissions to hospital, write Justine Gosling and colleagues from UK professional organisations Recent data from NHS England show that inadequate access to rehabilitation is delaying medically fit patients from being discharged from hospital.1 These patients continue to occupy much needed beds, putting more pressure on an already stretched health system. Access to high quality and timely multi-professional rehabilitation services can serve as a cost effective intervention that should be available to all, to support the efficiency of the hospital discharge system and help patient recovery. Every day in August 2023 more than 2100 hospital beds in England were taken up unnecessarily by patients who were medically fit for discharge but couldn’t be released because of unmet rehabilitation needs.1 These unmet needs include patients waiting for community equipment, assistive techn

“I have distinct patients that stand out in my mind, I still remember them”, Orla McCourt said of her early years training as a physiotherapist. A clinical academic physiotherapist at University College London Hospital (UCLH), London, McCourt now specialises in physiotherapy for myeloma while conducting research for the UCL Cancer Institute. It is those early inpatients who were suffering side-effects from several lines of intensive treatment or surgery, as well as their illness itself, that have driven her to promote physiotherapy to be more pre-emptive rather than responsive.

Objectives To compare the elicited exercise responses at ventilatory thresholds (VTs: VT1 and VT2) identified by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) with the guideline-directed exercise intensity domains; to propose equations to predict heart rate (HR) at VTs; and to compare the accuracy of prescription methods. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed with 972 maximal treadmill CPET on patients with CVD. First, VTs were identified and compared with guideline-directed exercise intensity domains. Second, multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to generate prediction equations for HR at VTs. Finally, the accuracy of prescription methods was assessed by the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). Results Significant dispersions of individual responses were found for VTs, with the same relative intensity of exercise corresponding to different guideline-directed exercise intensity domains. A mathematical error inherent to
