They were more active in physical (33% vs. 22%, P < 0.001), social (40% vs. 29%, P = 0.007) and cognitive domains (59% vs. 45%, P = 0.002) and changes were sustained six months post implementation. The enriched group experienced significantly fewer adverse events (0.4 ± 0.7 vs.1.3 ± 1.6, P = 0.001), with no differences found in serious adverse events (0.5 ± 1.6 vs.1.0 ± 2.0, P = 0.309). Conclusions: Embedding an enriched environment in an acute stroke unit increased activity in stroke patients.]]> Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:02:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52243 g). Results: Twenty-eight studies met inclusion criteria. Twenty-three of these were randomised controlled trials, with 1246 total participants. This review reports on this data, with non-randomised study data reported in supplemental material. Post -intervention relaxation was associated with medium to large effect-size improvement for depression, anxiety, stress and fatigue. The effects of relaxation were superior to wait-list or no treatment control conditions; however, comparisons with established psychological or physical therapies were mixed. Individual studies reported sustained effects (≤ 6 months) with relaxation for stress, pain and quality of life. Most studies were rated as having a high/serious risk of bias. Conclusion: There is emerging evidence that relaxation therapies can improve outcomes for persons with multiple sclerosis. Given the high risk of bias found for included studies, stronger conclusions cannot be drawn.]]> Thu 05 Oct 2023 14:01:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10632 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:48 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27490 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18704 Mon 20 Jul 2015 17:48:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46803 Mon 05 Dec 2022 08:36:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45496 Fri 28 Oct 2022 15:53:24 AEDT ]]>
