What happens in Vegas…
The Editors and Editorial Board of JNPT are pleased to bring you this Special Conference Issue for CSM 2014 in Las Vegas. As always the Neurology Section Programming Committee and the Research Committee have put together an amazing schedule of plenary sessions, platform, and poster sessions. We extend the readers of JNPT a heartfelt invitation to attend our annual Chat with the Editorial Board. This session is an excellent opportunity to ask questions about an intriguing article you might have in mind for submission, to hear how you can become one of JNPT’s outstanding reviewers, or to learn about the many different types of manuscripts that JNPT welcomes.
Readers may have noticed the announcement in the December 2013 issue, indicating that beginning in 2014 the JNPT publication cycle will be on a new schedule. Readers can expect to receive their journal issues in January, April, July, and October. Accordingly, beyond the content that is included in every issue (ie, Editorial, Articles, President’s Perspective) the scheduled content that is included in the issues will also shift slightly to accommodate the change, and the new dates when content can be expected is listed in the Table. This new schedule is intended to make research content available for citation earlier in the year. We also expect that the new publication schedule will better synchronize the JNPT calendar with Neurology Section calendar, so that readers receive information on a schedule that is a timely as possible. As always, readers are encouraged to visit the JNPT website regularly for the most up-to-date information.

With the many recent developments in this area, the issue is shaping up to be an exciting one. We hope that you will enjoy it and perhaps even find some of the content controversial. The Editors and Editorial Board Members hope that the issue will stimulate some interesting discussions, and perhaps even some Letters to the Editor. We are always on the lookout for stimulating topics of interest for the annual Special Issue, and so please drop me a note if you have an idea that you would like to discuss.
On behalf of the Editors and Editorial Board of JNPT, we wish you a wonderful 2014.

Instructions to Authors
Instructions for Authors
Revised 12/18/2013
Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy (JNPT) is the official publication of the Section on Neurology of the American Physical Therapy Association. JNPT is published four times a year and presents articles that contribute to the science and practice of neurologic physical therapy.
Manuscript Categories
Prospective authors are encouraged to consult the very detailed information offered by the journal Physical Therapy (PTJ) at www.ptjournal.org/misc/ifora.dtl
Research Articles: Research on a topic of interest to neurologic physical therapy. The manuscript should include the purpose and design of the study, methods, results, concise discussion or interpretation and conclusion or summary. A statement must be included that indicates that the rights of human and/or animal subjects were protected. JNPT encourages, but at this time does not require, prospective registration of clinical trials. If the study is a randomized clinical trial, the authors should follow the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) Guidelines, a copy of which is available on the JNPT website. In comparative trials (eg. clinical trials or case control trials), authors are encouraged to provide estimates of between-group differences with their associated imprecision. This can be provided in the form of mean between-group differences or odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. These values provide greater meaning for clinical interpretation than do measures of significance or variance. Results should be reported in the original raw units (rather than in the form of Cohen’s d or log units).
Systematic Reviews: A balanced and unbiased synthesis of evidence related to a defined clinical question. The systematic review applies a systematic approach to exploring the literature, assessing the strength of evidence, synthesizing the findings of individual studies, and interpreting the results. Guidelines for Systematic Reviews are found in a separate document listed under Files and Resources. Consult with the Editor prior to submission.
Case Study/ Case Series: Reports of the examination and intervention of a client or a small group of clients with neurological deficits. Case studies and case series should systematically describe examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention and outcomes, as well as provide insight into clinical decision-making. However, case studies and case series do not test hypotheses, establish causal relationships, or demonstrate effectiveness. For a case series, information pertinent to the planning of a larger research study (e.g., effect size) is encouraged.
Special Interest Papers: Topics of special interest to neurologic physical therapy, including but not limited to: topical reviews, theoretical perspectives, reviews of techniques, equipment, or instructional materials. Consult with the Editor prior to submission.
Special Article Types
JNPT offers a two special categories of articles that may include any of the above types of submissions:
Technology in Rehabilitation Science
JNPT is interested in articles that address applications of technologies that have potential to improve the health, mobility, and function of persons with neurologic disorders, and overcome barriers to participation. All aspects of rehabilitation technologies are invited, including but not limited to assistive/augmentive technologies, training devices, telerehabilitation, measurement/assessment, seating and positioning, and technological modifications of the home or work site. Articles that introduce novel technologies, which significantly advance our ability to address scientific questions related to neurological rehabilitation that previously could not be tested due to technical limitations, are also welcome. Authors submitting Technology in Rehabilitation Science articles must address the specific contributions their work makes in advancing development and application of the technology. These articles may of any type (Research Articles, Case Study, Special Interest).
Translational Research
JNPT is interested in articles that address issues of translation of research to clinical application and clinical practice. All types of translational articles are invited, including T1* (addressing translation of results of basic science research to wellness and prevention, diagnosis, or treatment) or T2* (translation of results of clinical research to actual clinical practice including issues of access, coordination of care, decision-making, and clinician or client behavior change). Relevant T3* and T4* are also welcomed. Translation research seeks to address common blocks in moving from ‘bench to bedside’ and ‘research to practice’ and forms a vital link in the chain to better health. (* for additional information see: Woolf SH. The meaning of translational research and why it matters. JAMA. 2008 Jan 9;299(2):211-3.)
Other Submissions
Clinical Point of View (CPOV)
The Clinical Point of View (CPOV) is a commentary by an invited author, which provides a perspective on how the information in the article translates to clinical practice. The title should reflect the major focus of the CPOV. It should identify the elements of the article that are relevant to clinical practice, and offer specific examples of how the information can be applied to clinical practice. Further, the CPOV should identify questions pertinent to clinical practice that are raised by the article, but are yet to be answered. The CPOV should summarize the most important "take-home message(s)". The target length of the CPOV is approximately 1,000 words.
Abstracts of Current Literature: Articles abstracted should be of interest to neurologic physical therapists and should give an account of the author's purpose, method, results, and conclusions. The original article must have been published within the past two years. The abstract shall be limited to 500 words or less. Consult with the Abstracts Editor prior to submission.
Suggestions from the clinic: A summary or description of an adaptation of commercially available equipment for a specific clinical problem, new equipment on the market which is clinically useful and procedures or adaptation of procedures relevant to neurologic physical therapy.
Book Reviews: Authors provide an in-depth review of a text or manual on topics relevant to neurologic physical therapy. The review should offer a critical evaluation of the scope and content of the book, and comment on its suitability for reference, clinical, and teaching purposes. The review should be arranged into the following subheadings: Purpose, Audience, Organization/Structure, Information, and Summary. The review shall be limited to 500 words or less. Include also the author(s) or editor(s), publisher, and text price.
Media Reviews: Authors provide a review of a DVD, on-line learning module, brochure, or software package. The intended audience for the media should be identified, and the purchasing information should also be included. The review sha
