The Neuro-Cognitive Rehabilitation Research Network (NCRRN) is an NIH-funded collaboration between investigators at MossRehab and the University of Pennsylvania to provide infrastructure support and expert consultation to individuals wishing to pursue cognitive rehabilitation research. In June 2009, NCRRN co-sponsored, along with the Center for Experimental Neuro-Rehabilitation, another NIH-funded research infrastructure grant, a weekend symposium on [...]

For many rehab providers, research remains secondary to treatment. Scientific inquiry—both time-consuming and expensive—must be relegated to the background due to the enormous demands of the clinic. At MossRehab, however, a team devoted entirely to research operates within the infrastructure of the rehabilitation hospital. Collectively called the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), these researchers work [...]

by Junghoon Kim, Brian Avants, Sunil Patel, John Whyte, MD, PhD, Branch H. Coslett, MD, John Pluta, John A. Detre, James C. Gee Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of long-term disability. Despite the importance of identifying neuropathology in individuals [...]

by Tessa Hart, PhD, Jesse R. Fan, Thomas A. Novak Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Rehabilitation using cognitive and behavioural treatment methods (i.e., experience-based interventions) faces particular challenges in improving its evidence base through rigorous studies such as randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Experience-based treatments are often complex, with multiple “active [...]

Ellis, ScB, Inna Chervoneva, PhD Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA OBJECTIVE: To examine the interrater agreement and responsiveness to change of the Moss Attention Rating Scale (MARS), 22-item version, during acute inpatient rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury (TBI). DESIGN: Observational [...]

by John Whyte, MD, PhD Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA There has been much discussion of the need to enhance the evidence base supporting rehabilitation practice. Much of this discussion focuses on the need for gathering useful empirical data to support or refute the benefit of specific treatments and services. [...]

by Mausam Patel, Mukul Talaty, PhD, Sylvia Ounpuu. Center for Motion Analysis, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, Hartford, CT, USA. Biomechanical model assumptions affect the interpretation of the role of the muscle or joint moments to the segmental power estimated by induced acceleration analysis (IAA). We evaluated the effect of modeling the pelvis and trunk segments [...]

by Daniel Y. Kimberg, PhD, H. Branch Coslett, MD, Myrna F. Schwartz, PhD. Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania, PA, USA. Lesion analysis in brain-injured populations complements what can be learned from functional neuroimaging. Voxel-based approaches to mapping lesion-behavior correlations in brain-injured populations are increasingly popular, and have the potential to leverage image analysis methods [...]
