The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of in-home telerehabilitation as an alternative to conventional rehabilitation services following knee arthroplasty. Five community-living elders who had knee arthroplasty were recruited prior to discharge from an acute care hospital. A pre/post-test design without a control group was used for this pilot study. Telerehabilitation sessions (16) were conducted by two trained physiotherapists from a service center to the patient’s home using H264 videoconference CODECs (Tandberg 550 MXP) connected at 512 Kb\s. Disability (range of motion, balance and lower body strength) and function (locomotor performance in walking and functional autonomy) were measured in face-to-face evaluations prior to and at the end of the treatments by a neutral evaluator. The satisfaction of the health care professional and patient was measured by questionnaire. Results are as follows. One participant was lost during follow-up. Clinical outcomes improved for all subjects and improvements were sustained two months post-discharge from in-home telerehabilitation. The satisfaction of the participants with in-home telerehabilitation services was very high. The satisfaction of the health care professionals with the technology and the communication experience during the therapy sessions was similar or slightly lower. In conclusion, telerehabilitation for post-knee arthroplasty is a realistic alternative for dispensing rehabilitation services for patients discharged from an acute care hospital.Keywords: Telerehabilitation, Physical Therapy, Total Knee Arthroplasty, Videoconferencing

Job Development

Consumers of vocational rehabilitation services are increasingly directing the decisions made about these services. These decisions frequently include making choices about whether to work with a job development professional, and choosing such a professional from among available options. Such choices will be made most effectively when they are guided by knowledge and understanding of the different alternatives. There is considerable variability among Job developers with respect to qualifications in terms of education, experience, and training, as well as In terms of pay rates and pay arrangements (e.g., salary, fee-for-placement, bonuses for placement), and caseload size. It is important to evaluate and understand this variability and its potential effect on outcomes for consumers. Toward this end, this article reports the results of a pilot project conducted in an effort to begin to identify specific areas of differences among Job developers. Results and recommendations based on this project are presented for counselors and consumers.

Management Of Dysphagia

Services provided for dysphaiga conditions are poorly investigated in Jordan. The aim of this study was to explore the rehabilitation services provided to patients with dysphagia in medical settings in Jordan. Data were collected from public and private hospitals, hearing and speech centres, and rehabilitation centres located in Amman province. Thirty-eight participants (16 patients and 22 professionals from various disciplines) were interviewed. There was limited knowledge about dysphagia among healthcare professionals. The provision of rehabilitation services was minimal and secondary to the provision of medical services. Clinical pathways and guidelines need to be devised to organize the work of professionals involved in the management of dysphagia.
