Quadriceps femoris muscle ultrasound in sarcoidosis: an observational case-control study
CONCLUSIONS: Loss of muscle mass is one of the musculoskeletal conditions in patients with sarcoidosis that may be associated with nonspecific symptoms, such as general debility, intolerance to physical activity, and fatigue. In the present study, no difference was observed in hand grip strength between the groups, while we found that QFM thickness was affected in patients with sarcoidosis when compared to the controls. The ultrasonographic QFM evaluation seems to be an innovative tool which may be used at all stages of sarcoidosis patient follow-up.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The grip strength is a commonly used test ...

Evidence-based recommendations for the rehabilitation and management of the ageing population with spinal cord injury: a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines
CONCLUSIONS: There is a notable lack of high-quality ageing-related recommendations for SCI management and rehabilitation. Future research should prioritize the generation of high-quality evidence to develop age-sensitive CPGs. Future SCI CPGs need to address the complex challenges at the interface of ageing and SCI, considering patient and stakeholder preferences.PMID:38551520 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08244-3 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

The effects of virtual reality-mediated tendon and nerve gliding exercises in the conservative management of carpal tunnel syndrome: a double-blind randomized placebo controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: An eight-week VR-mediated exercise program may enhance tendon and nerve gliding exercise effectiveness, particularly for nighttime symptoms in CTS patients.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In the future, challenging exercises requiring time and supervision could be effectively performed through VR, offering an alternative to traditional methods.PMID:38551521 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08432-6 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Demographic and clinical characteristics associated with failure of physical therapy in chronic low back pain: a secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with younger ones, older patients with cLBP had a higher risk of treatment failure after physical therapy and gained a stronger benefit of long-term pain alleviation from therapeutic aquatic exercise.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Therapeutic aquatic exercise is an effective therapy for cLBP and more helpful for preventing treatment failure than physical therapy modalities, especially for older patients.PMID:38551516 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08033-X (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Graph modeling of relational structures among functioning variables with low back pain: an exploratory analysis based on international classification of functioning, disability and health
CONCLUSIONS: d430 and b126 significantly impact the physical and mental well-being of LBP patients. To improve d430, maintaining exercise habits, reducing working hours, enhancing lumbar stability, and overcoming fear-related emotions are recommended. Similarly, improving b126 can be achieved through enhancing interpersonal relationships.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Through the identification of crucial functioning variables and the associated dysfunctional correlation relationships, graphical model of Comprehensive ICF Core Set for LBP can offer healthcare decision-makers valuable insights into potential treatment targ...
