Article Abstract
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of community-based rehabilitation program in chronic stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven subjects received community-based rehabilitation program ten times for ten months. The main outcome measures were the Modified Barthel Index score for activities of daily living and the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination score for cognition. [Results] The results of the study demonstrated that the community-based rehabilitation program improved activities of daily living performance and cognition significantly. [Conclusion] Based on the study results, the community-based rehabilitation program is an effective method for improving activities of daily living performance and cognitive function in elderly patients with chronic stroke.

Comparison of Functional Performance Across Age Groups in Older Adults: A Community-Based Study.
J Am Med Dir Assoc
September 2025
Department of Health Sciences, Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine, University of São Paulo (USP), Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. Electronic address:
Objectives: To investigate the association among 5 clinical functional performance tests-single-leg stance, gait speed, tandem gait, Timed Up and Go (TUG), and forward step- as indicators of functional decline in older adults, and to examine whether these associations vary across different age groups.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting And Participants: Data were collected from 191 community-dwelling older adults, stratified into 4 age groups: 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, and 75-79 years.
Community-based hearing aid fitting model for adults in low-income communities facilitated by community health workers: a feasibility study.

Background: Hearing loss affects more than 1.5 billion people worldwide, yet fewer than 10% of those who could benefit from hearing aids are able to access them. Barriers such as high costs, limited availability, and a critical shortage of trained professionals in low- and middle-income countries contribute to this gap, while emerging models of care-such as task-shifting to community healthcare workers (CHWs) supported by mHealth technologies-show promise in improving access, affordability, and outcomes in underserved communities.

Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre, Hull York Medical School, University of Hull, Hull, UK.
Background: There is growing demand for home-based palliative care because of patient preference, and increased number of deaths. Optimal models for community-based palliative and end-of-life care are unknown.
Aim: To identify, synthesise and describe review-level evidence to better understand models of palliative and end-of-life care for adults living at home, and examine components of these models and their association with outcomes.
Proportion of participants meeting falls prevention guidelines in an evidence-based community-based exercise program.
Aging Clin Exp Res
September 2025
Cardiometabolic Exercise & Lifestyle Laboratory, University of New Brunswick, 90 MacKay Drive, Fredericton, NB, E3B 5A3, Canada.
Background: Although exercise is strongly recommended to prevent falls in older adults (exercise that challenges balance, performed three hours per week on an ongoing basis), few community-based programs meet these recommendations.
Aims: Assess the proportion of participants meeting fall prevention exercise recommendations in a community-based program and explore how adherence varies by individual characteristics and participation mode (in-person, tele-exercise, or hybrid).
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of Zoomers in Balance participants who completed an online questionnaire about their demographic data, mode of participation, and their perceived balance intensity in a 12-week series using the Balance Intensity Scale (1-no effort at all to 5-maximal effort).
Barriers and facilitators to housing and healthcare services for people experiencing homelessness with concurrent brain injury, mental health and substance use disorders: a qualitative study.
Front Public Health

Department of Psychology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada.
Background: Acquired brain injury (ABI) can significantly impact mental health, vulnerability to addictions, and housing stability, yet the intersection of these challenges is understudied. Individuals living with ABI are disproportionately represented among populations experiencing homelessness and have a high prevalence of concurrent mental health and substance use (MHSU) disorders, leading to poorer health outcomes and lower quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators to housing and healthcare services for people experiencing homelessness with ABI and concurrent MHSU disorders.
