Congratulations to Dr. Sharon Antonucci and colleagues on this recent publication exploring the co-development of an international awareness campaign for primary progressive aphasia (PPA). The campaign increased knowledge of the benefits of speech-language therapy, reached audiences across seven countries, and highlighted the value of involving people with PPA in designing awareness and education initiatives. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42706934/

The Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) is opening the "black box" of rehabilitation and transforming how treatments are defined, studied, and taught. Developed by leaders at Jefferson Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute and Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation, the framework is helping improve clinical reasoning, research rigor, and treatment reporting across the field.

Learn more about advances in the RTSS here: https://rehabilitationresearch.jefferson.edu/news/2026/rehab-treatment-spec-updates.html.

Unilateral spatial neglect is a common consequence of right hemisphere stroke, but can be difficult to assess accurately and sensitively. In this study, Dr. Laurel Buxbaum and co-authors examined the validity of a test developed at Jefferson Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, the immersive Virtual Reality Lateralized Attention Test (VRLAT-2), supporting its usefulness in identifying and characterizing spatial neglect.

In our latest research participant spotlight, we enjoyed catching up with Mark Baumgardner. Mr. Baumgardner described his experiences as a stroke survivor and what it has been like for him to be involved in studies at our Institute.

We are grateful for his important contributions to our research, and we appreciate him taking the time to share his story!

Depression is a common challenge after , but its relationship with long-term survival remains unclear. In this study, Drs. Amanda Rabinowitz, Tessa Hart, and John Whyte, along with co-authors, found that depressive symptoms one year after injury were not independently associated with five-year mortality after accounting for functional status and preinjury mental health history. The findings highlight depression as a potentially important marker of broader vulnerability following TBI. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42675571/
