Limited effect of a self-management exercise program added to spa therapy for increasing physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a quasi-randomized controlled trial
Conclusions. This study showed the lack of impact of a short self-management program on PA level in addition to 18-day spa therapy for KOA, but both intervention and control groups showed improved PA level. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Sleep disorders in aging polio survivors: a systematic review
Conclusions and implications. Follow-up of polio survivors should include systematic screening for sleep disorders because they are associated with adverse consequences. Sleep disorder evaluation and management should improve the long-term survival and quality of life of polio survivors. Methodologically robust clinical trials are needed, but the decreasing prevalence and large clinical spectrum of the disease may complicate the creation of comparable groups.

Which behaviours are first to emerge during recovery of consciousness after severe brain injury?
ConclusionRecovery of consciousness after severe brain injury is most often signalled by reemergence of visual pursuit, reproducible command-following and automatic movements. Clinicians should use assessment measures that are sensitive to these behaviours because early detection of consciousness is critical for accurate prognostication and treatment planning.

Characteristics of newly acquired gait in toddlers with unilateral cerebral palsy: implications for early rehabilitation
Conclusions. Alterations in kinematic gait parameters were mostly found at the pelvis in toddlers with UCP and newly acquired gait. At that age, the external pelvic rotation on the affected side is more likely due to primary motor control disorders than compensatory mechanisms. These findings suggest that early rehabilitation should focus on proximal motor control, balance and symmetry to optimize gait development from the early stages in children with UCP.

From cerebral palsy to developmental coordination disorder: development of preclinical rat models corresponding to recent epidemiological changes
Publication date: Available online 19 November 2019Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Jacques-Olivier Coq, Marine Kochmann, Diego C Lacerda, Hanane Khalki, Maxime Delcour, Ana E Toscano, Florence Cayetanot, Marie-Hélène Canu, Mary F Barbe, Masahiro TsujiAbstractCerebral palsy (CP) is a complex syndrome of various sensory, motor and cognitive deficits. Its prevalence has recently decreased in some developed countries and its symptoms have also shifted since the 1960s. From the 1990s, CP has been associated with prematurity, but recent epidemiologic studies show reduced or absent brain damage,...

Pelvic floor muscle activity patterns in women with and without stress urinary incontinence while running
Conclusion: Morse wavelets could be used to extract differences between pre- and post-initial contact activation behavior of PFMs during different running speeds as well as spectral changes toward high or low frequencies. This information sheds light on specific differences in involuntary reflexive activation patterns while running. Muscular preparation and adaptation a few milliseconds before initial contact could be helpful. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Predictors of health-related quality of life after non-catastrophic injury sustained in a road traffic crash
Conclusions: A wide spectrum of biopsychosocial factors contribute to HRQoL after a road traffic crash injury. These epidemiological data are potentially important because they could identify potential targets for studies of tertiary prevention of persistently poor HRQoL after such an injury.

Ethics of life-sustaining treatment in locked-in syndrome: a Chinese survey
ConclusionsDifferences in opinions about end of life in LIS are affected by personal characteristics. The current survey did not identify a dissociation between personal preferences and general opinions, potentially because of a social uniformity in China where individualism is less pronounced. Future open-ended surveys could identify specific needs of caregivers so that strategic interventions to reduce ethical debasement are designed.
