Effect of a high-intensity interval training on serum microRNA levels in women with breast cancer undergoing hormone therapy. A single-blind randomized trial
Conclusions: HITT could amplify the decrease and/or increase in expression of miRs associated with HT in women with breast cancer. A prospective trial could determine whether the use of circulating miRs for monitoring treatment can be useful in therapy decisions. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Physical and psychological paths toward less severe fibromyalgia: a structural equation model
Conclusions: The present model integrated the complexity of mutually influencing factors of fibromyalgia severity, which may help in better understanding the disease. It emphasised the importance of the following: 1) physical factors and psychological factors and their interconnections, 2) patients’ experiences and clinical measurements, and 3) positive and negative signs such as physical fitness and distress. Future longitudinal and experimental research should aim at testing clinical implications implied by the model. For instance, to reduce fatigue, exercise should enhance not only objective fitness but also fitness-r...

Atrophy of individual thigh muscles measured by MRI in older adults with knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study
Conclusions: The ratio of VM CSA to QM and/or that of SM CSA to HAM were low and were the best indicators to detect KOA-related muscle atrophy of the thigh. However, to detect KOA-related muscle atrophy, the VM CSA ratio should be analyzed in the thigh region around the mid-thigh, whereas the SM CSA ratio should be analyzed in the thigh region at the muscle belly.

Clinical effects of robot-assisted gait training and treadmill training for Parkinson's disease. A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsRepetitive intensive gait training is an effective treatment for people with Parkinson disease and can increase endurance and gait velocity, especially for those with severe walking disability. Advantages are greater with robot-assisted gait training than treadmill training for individuals with freezing-of-gait–related disability. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Short-term effects of a 3-week interval training program on heart rate variability in chronic heart failure. A randomised controlled trial
ConclusionsIn this short rehabilitation program, HIIT was significantly superior to the classical MICT program for enhancing parasympathetic tone and peak oxygen uptake. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Young adults’ perspectives on health-related quality of life after paediatric traumatic brain injury: a prospective cohort study
ConclusionsA substantial proportion of young adult survivors of childhood TBI experience poor HRQoL in at least one domain of functioning at 15 years post-injury. These findings suggest that, even in the very long term post-injury, the identification and treatment of modifiable risk factors has potential to improve very-long-term HRQoL outcomes in this vulnerable population.

New factors that affect quality of life in patients with aphasia
Conclusion: Aphasia severity, mood disorders and functional limitations may have a negative effect on QoL in patients with aphasia. Also, for the first time, we show that fatigue has an important impact on QoL in this population. Specific management of this symptom might be beneficial and should be explored in future studies.

Motion analysis for the evaluation of muscle overactivity: A point of view
Publication date: Available online 2 July 2019Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): N. Roche, C. Bonnyaud, V. Reynaud, D. Bensmail, D. Pradon, A. EsquenaziAbstractMuscle overactivity is a general term for pathological increases in muscle activity such as spasticity. It is caused by damage to the central nervous system at the cortical, subcortical or spinal levels, leading to an upper motor neuron syndrome. In routine clinical practice, muscle overactivity, which induces abnormal muscle tone, is usually evaluated by using the Modified Ashworth Scale or the Tardieu Scale. However, both of these sca...

Dosage for cost-effective exercise-based falls prevention programs for older people: a systematic review of economic evaluations
Conclusion. There is evidence to support exercise-based interventions as cost-effective treatment for preventing falls. Further research is needed to fully establish the cost-effectiveness of such programs, especially in both developing and underdeveloped countries.

Assessment of bimanual performance in 3-D movement analysis: validation of a new clinical protocol in children with unilateral cerebral palsy
Conclusions. The BE-API protocol is a 3DMA bimanual performance-based assessment that is highly reliable in children with uCP. Children with uCP and TDC significantly differed in some clinically relevant kinematic parameters. The BE-API is a promising playful tool, helpful for better understanding upper-limb motor movement abnormalities in bimanual conditions and for tailoring treatments to individual deficits.
