| Abstract | Study design: Prospective observational cohort study linked with administrative data. Objectives: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is routinely performed after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), facilitating early, accurate diagnosis to optimize clinical management. Prognosis from early MRI post-injury remains unclear, yet if available could guide early intervention. The aim of this study was to determine the association of spinal cord intramedullary haematoma and/or extent of cord compression evident on initial spine MRI with neurological grade change after TSCI. Methods: Individuals with acute TSCI ≥16 years of age; MRI review. Neurological gradings (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS)) were compared with initial MRI findings. Various MRI parameters were evaluated for prediction of neurological improvement pre-discharge. Results: 120 subjects; 79% male, mean (SD) age 51.0 (17.7) years. Motor vehicle crashes (42.5%) and falls (40.0%) were the most common injury mechanisms. Intramedullary spinal cord haematoma was identified by MRI in 40.0% of patients and was associated with more severe neurologic injury (58.3% initially AIS A). Generalised linear regression showed higher maximum spinal cord compression (MSCC) was associated with lower likelihood of neurological improvement from initial assessment to follow up prior to rehabilitation discharge. Combined thoracic level injury, intramedullary haematoma, and MSCC > 25% resulted in almost 90% probability of pre-discharge AIS (grade A) remaining unchanged from admission assessment. Conclusions: MRI is a vital tool for evaluating the severity and extent of TSCI, assisting in appropriate management decision-making early in TSCI patient care. This study adds to the body of knowledge assisting clinicians in prognostication. |

| Abstract | This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare physiological, perceptual and biomechanical outcomes between walking on a treadmill and overground surfaces. Five databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science) were searched until September 2022. Included studies needed to be a crossover design comparing biomechanical, physiological, or perceptual measures between motorised-treadmill and overground walking in healthy adults (18-65 years) walking at the same speed (<5% difference). The quality of studies were assessed using a modified Downs and Black Quality Index. Meta-analyses were performed to determine standardised mean difference ± 95% confidence intervals for all main outcome measures. Fifty-five studies were included with 1,005 participants. Relative oxygen consumption (standardised mean difference [95% confidence interval] 0.38 [0.14,0.63]) and cadence (0.22 [0.06,0.38]) are higher during treadmill walking. Whereas stride length (-0.36 [-0.62,-0.11]) and step length (-0.52 [-0.98,-0.06]) are lower during treadmill walking. Most kinetic variables are different between surfaces. The oxygen consumption, spatiotemporal and kinetic differences on the treadmill may be an attempt to increase stability due to the lack of control, discomfort and familiarity on the treadmill. Treadmill construction including surface stiffness and motor power are likely additional constraints that need to be considered and require investigation. This research was supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship. Protocol registration is CRD42020208002 (PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) in October 2020. |

| Abstract | The global loss of top predators has led to widespread changes in food webs. In Patagonia, it is hypothesized that local extirpations of terrestrial predators, including the puma (Puma concolor), has led to the expansion of Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) colonies across the Atlantic coast of Argentina. Interestingly, more recent wildlife conservation efforts in the region have led to an unexpected trophic link between pumas and penguins. Here, we used a camera trap array to assess this novel predator-prey relationship between pumas and penguins in Monte León National Park (MLNP) over a three-month period. Pumas were detected 12.5 times more than any other mammalian predator and were detected on 95% of the days during our study period. We also observed 28 individual events of pumas preying upon penguins. Our work demonstrates a strong linkage between the marine and terrestrial ecosystem at MLNP. Puma predation of penguins may have widespread ecological implications including effects on puma and penguin abundance, changes in puma social behavior, and interspecific competition among other prey items and carnivores in the park. We propose hypotheses and questions to investigate these potential outcomes. |

| Abstract | Purpose: To identify and examine subgroups of people with spinal cord injury (SCI) with different patterns of lived experience, and examine hidden impairments and disability among functionally independent and ambulant people. Materials and methods: Latent profile analysis of population-based data from the Australian arm of the International Spinal Cord Injury (InSCI) Community survey ( Results: Latent subgroups reflected levels of functional independence and extent of problems with health, activity/participation, environmental barriers, and self-efficacy. Quality of life (QoL), psychological profiles, and activity/participation were often as good or better in participants who reported lower ( Conclusion: Hidden disability among more independent and/or ambulant people with SCI can affect well-being substantially. Early and ongoing access to support, rehabilitation, and SCI specialist services is important irrespective of cause, type, severity of injury, and level of functional independence. Improved access to SCI expertise and equity of care would help to improve early recognition and management of hidden disability. Trial registration: Not applicable. |

| Abstract | Fences have recently been recognized as one of the most prominent linear infrastructures on earth. As animals traverse fenced landscapes, they adjust movement behaviours to optimize resource access while minimizing energetic costs of coping with fences. Examining individual responses is key for connecting localized fence effects with population dynamics. We investigated the multi-scale effects of fencing on animal movements, space use and survival of 61 pronghorn and 96 mule deer on a gradient of fence density in Wyoming, USA. Taking advantage of the recently developed Barrier Behaviour Analysis, we classified individual movement responses upon encountering fences (i.e. barrier behaviours). We adopted the reaction norm framework to jointly quantify individual plasticity and behavioural types of barrier behaviours, as well as behaviour syndromes between barrier behaviours and animal space use. We also assessed whether barrier behaviours affect individual survival. Our results highlighted a high-level individual plasticity encompassing differences in the degree and direction of barrier behaviours for both pronghorn and mule deer. Additionally, these individual differences were greater at higher fence densities. For mule deer, fence density determined the correlation between barrier behaviours and space use and was negatively associated with individual survival. However, these relationships were not statistically significant for pronghorn. By integrating approaches from movement ecology and behavioural ecology with the emerging field of fence ecology, this study provides new evidence that an extraordinarily widespread linear infrastructure uniquely impacts animals at the individual level. Managing landscape for lower fence densities may help prevent irreversible behavioural shifts for wide-ranging animals in fenced landscapes. |

| Abstract | Study design: Retrospective study OBJECTIVES: To describe the presenting symptoms/signs, clinical course and outcomes in hospitalised people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and symptomatic COVID-19 infections. Setting: One university hospital and two SCI centres in Switzerland. Methods: Descriptive analysis of symptoms/signs, clinical course and outcomes of people with SCI with symptomatic COVID-19 infections and need for hospitalisation. Results: Twenty-two people with SCI were included, 15 (68%) were male, median age 64.5 years (interquartile range, IQR, 52-73 years). Nine (41%) had tetraplegia, and eight (36%) were classified with motor-complete lesions. Frequent clinical symptoms were fever (59%), coughing (54%), fatigue (50%), and dyspnoea (27%). Most frequent complications were bacterial pulmonary superinfection (18%), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (18%). Fifteen persons (68%) needed oxygen therapy during the course of hospitalisation, and 7 (32%) people were ventilated. Median length of stay (LOS) was 23 days (IQR 15-35), varying by age for people under 60 years with a median LOS of 9 days (IQR 8-27), and for those older than 60 years with a median of 34 days (IQR 17-39), respectively. In total, 3 persons (14%) died during hospitalisation, all older with paraplegia. Conclusions: Typical symptoms like fever and coughing were not present in all people. People with tetraplegia did not demonstrate worse outcomes, on the contrary, they had shorter LOS, no difference in ventilation needs, and no higher mortality compared to people with paraplegia. Older people showed longer LOS. This study recommends close supervision of the SCI population to detect early signs and symptoms of COVID-19 infection. |

| Abstract | Objectives: To identify the competencies, behaviors, activities, and tasks required by the rehabilitation workforce, and their core values and beliefs, and to validate these among rehabilitation professionals and service users. Design: Mixed methods study, involving a content analysis of rehabilitation-related competency frameworks, a modified Delphi study, and a consultation-based questionnaire of service users. Setting: Desk-based research. Participants: Participants who completed the first (N=77; 47%) and second (N=68; 67%) iterations of the modified Delphi study. Thirty-seven individuals participated in the service user consultation. Collectively, the participants of the mixed methods study represented a significant range of rehabilitation professions from a broad range of countries, as well as both high- and low-income settings. Interventions: Not applicable. Main outcome measures: Not applicable. Results: The mixed methods study resulted in the inclusion of 4 core values, 4 core beliefs, 17 competencies, 56 behaviors, 20 activities, and 62 tasks in the Rehabilitation Competency Framework. The content analysis of rehabilitation-related competency frameworks produced an alpha list of competencies, behaviors, activities and tasks ("statements"), which were categorized into 5 domains. The final iteration of the modified Delphi study revealed an average of 95% agreement with the statements, whereas the service user consultation indicated an average of 87% agreement with the statements included in the questionnaire. Conclusions: Despite the diverse composition of the rehabilitation workforce, this mixed methods study demonstrated that a strong consensus on competencies and behaviors that are shared across professions, specializations, and settings, and for activities and tasks that collectively capture the scope of rehabilitation practice. The development of the Rehabilitation Competency Framework is a pivotal step toward the twin goals of building workforce capability to improve quality of care and strengthening a common rehabilitation workforce identity that will bolster its visibility and influence at a systems-level. |
