Neuropathic-like pain in knee osteoarthritis: exploring differences in knee loading and inflammation. A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Knee OA patients with indication of neuropathic-like pain exhibited higher dynamic medial loading, greater pain severity and worse physical function, while inflammatory markers were not significantly different across mPDQ groups. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to strengthen the evidence and establish mechanisms to explain associations between neuropathic-like pain and knee loading.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Knee loading is a modifiable factor and patients with neuropathic-like pain may benefit from offloading interventions.PMID:37934188 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.07877-2 (Source: European Jou...

Enhanced recovery after surgery combined with quantitative rehabilitation training in early rehabilitation after total knee replacement: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with conventional rehabilitation training, quantitative rehabilitation training based on the ERAS concept was found to be safe and effective and can accelerate the recovery of joint function after surgery, shorten hospitalization time, improve patient satisfaction, and promote rapid recovery.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The quantitative rehabilitation training based on the ERAS concept provides a new program for rehabilitation exercises after total knee arthroplasty, which is safe and reliable, accelerates the recovery of joint function, and should be considered for clinical promotion.PMID:37934189...

Predicting the functional outcome of intensive inpatient rehabilitation after stroke: results from the RIPS Study
CONCLUSIONS: The model presented in this study, based on easily collectable, reliable admission variables, could help clinicians and researchers to predict the discharge scores of the global functional outcome for persons enrolled in an evidence-based inpatient stroke rehabilitation program.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: A reliable outcome prediction derived from standardized assessment measures and validated treatment protocols could guide clinicians in the management of patients in the subacute phase of stroke and help improve the planning of the rehabilitation individualized project.PMID:37934187 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9...

Effect of maximal-intensity and high-intensity interval training on exercise capacity and Quality of Life in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to HIIT and usual care, MIIT significantly increased the V̇O<inf>2max</inf> and was as safe as HIIT in patients with acute MI with low and moderate cardiac risk in CR. Additionally, MIIT and HIIT were superior to usual care in terms of improving the HRQoL.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Our results suggest that increased intensity in phase II CR could result in better outcomes in terms of V̇O<inf>2max</inf> increment in patients with acute MI and low and moderate cardiac risk in CR.PMID:37906165 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.08094-2 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Re...

Reliability and validity of the Greek adaptation of the Modified Barthel Index in neurorehabilitation patients
CONCLUSIONS: The Greek version of the Modified Barthel Index has been found to exhibit satisfactory levels of reliability and validity.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The Greek MBI adaptation is an adequate and useful instrument for use on Greek neuro-rehabilitation patients.PMID:37877957 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.08056-5 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)
