Although many of these techniques are equally appropriate for patients with other diagnoses, such as medical or orthopaedic conditions, the focus will be on possible outcomes when a person's nervous system has been damaged by injury or disease. 2 SECTION 1 Strength, Reflexes, and Flexibility Key Points 1. In persons with damaged nervous systems, these tests may be context-dependent. 2. It is important to test and retest in the same environment and in test positions. 3. Recognize that the results of these tests may not automatically translate into what you might predict a patient's performance will be during a functional activity.

Although many applications (apps) relating to diet and nutrition are available from major smartphone platforms, relatively few have been tested in research studies in order to determine their effectiveness in promoting health. In this article, we summarize data on the use of smartphone applications for promoting healthy diet and nutrition based upon bibliographic searches in PubMed and CINAHL with relevant search terms pertaining to diet, nutrition, and weight loss through August 2015. A total of 193 articles were identified in the bibliographic searches. By screening abstracts or full-text articles, a total of three relevant qualitative studies and 9 randomized controlled trials were identified. In qualitative studies, participants preferred applications that were quick and easy to administer, and those that increase awareness of food intake and weight management. In r...
