The Mobility Brief

Recent Issues

• Monday, January 5, 2026: This month, The Mobility Brief examines key points in the continuum of patient care, from system-level implementation to specific clinical interventions. Work from Manuel Montero-Odasso considers the organizational hurdles in putting global fall prevention guidelines into practice, drawing lessons from Sweden. E. Ali Bateman outlines a protocol to review strategies for physician-to-physician handover between acute care and rehabilitation. The issue also includes a systematic review from Janelle Unger on the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation for walking outcomes in people with incomplete spinal cord injury, and a case report from Eldon Loh describing a modified nerve block injection for a female with persistent pain after knee replacement.
• Monday, December 8, 2025: This month, we look at how an imbalance of activity between the brain's hemispheres may relate to functional outcomes for people with subacute stroke. We also turn to the structure of the thigh bone, considering how the distribution of nerve conduits could inform techniques for managing chronic knee pain. Finally, we review the experiences of older adults using a digital program designed to support healthy brain aging. This issue features work from Jamie Fleet, Ricardo Viana, Robert Teasell, Sue Peters, Eldon Loh, and Manuel Montero-Odasso.
• Monday, October 27, 2025: This month's issue examines the connections between the brain, movement, and recovery across different populations and contexts. Contributions from Robert Teasell, Jamie Fleet, Ricardo Viana, Michael Payne, and Sue Peters characterize global trends in randomized controlled trials for lower extremity stroke rehabilitation, noting a recent acceleration in studies from low-to-middle-income countries. In a related case series, Sue Peters, Robert Teasell, Ricardo Viana, Jaspreet Bhangu, and Jamie Fleet use neuroimaging to document prefrontal cortex activation in females recovering from stroke. The interplay of walking and cognition is also a focus, as Manuel Montero-Odasso outlines future research paths for understanding dual-task gait in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment. The issue also includes teaching images from Eldon Loh on a patient-specific knee procedure.
