The Brain Injury Functional Outcome Measure (BI-FOM) is a measure of global functioning after moderate or severe brain injury which demonstrates graded functional impairment ranging from unconsciousness to resumption of normal activities. The BI-FOM is a beneficial tool for studies that enroll patients acutely or for longitudinal studies of the post-acute period.

Learn more about the development and research application of the BI-FOM here: https://rehabilitationresearch.jefferson.edu/innovations/brain-injury-functional-outcome-measure.html

Post-Traumatic Amnesia ( ) is a state of confusion — including disorientation, retrograde amnesia, and inability to store new memories — brought on by physical and chemical changes in the brain after a traumatic brain injury ( ). Our PTA Protocol was developed as part of the Moss Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems ( ) and describes specific actions for coordinated care by all team members.

Resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) is a powerful tool for understanding brain network organization, but questions remain about its reliability—especially in aging and after traumatic brain injury ( ). In this article, Institute Faculty Dr. Amanda Rabinowitz, Dr. Umesh Venkatesan, and co-authors sought to evaluate the reproducibility of RSFC metrics in older adults with and without TBI, finding that overall RSFC reliability was preserved even after neurological injury, with certain networks and metrics showing the strongest consistency.

Research advancement is essential for the continued growth of medical specialties—yet research productivity in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) is lacking. In this report, Faculty Emeritus, John Whyte, MD, PhD, and colleagues describe the Physiatric Research Consulting Program (PRCP), an initiative by the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP) designed to strengthen research capacity in academic PM&R departments. The report highlights how the PRCP’s customized assessments and consultations help identify departmental needs, provide actionable recommendations, and foster a culture of research growth across North America.
