Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine: say relational or functional, not holistic
Eur J Phys Rehabil Med. 2024 Mar 14. doi: 10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08309-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTModern medicine tends to privilege disciplines promising "objective" laws governing body parts (from molecules to organs). Studies on a person's illness and disability are (apparently) confined to "subjectivity." The Specialty of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine is often regarded as a humanitarian approach, belonging at best to the family of "soft," "qualitative," or "quasi-experimental" sciences. This specialty often claims specificity by labelling itself as "functional" and "holistic." However, it is shown here tha...

A wearable system for visual cueing gait rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease: a randomized non-inferiority trial
CONCLUSIONS: Data showed that motor rehabilitation of PD subjects performed by means of the new wearable Q-Walk cueing system was feasible and as effective as traditional cues in improving gait parameters and balance.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Wearable devices can act as an additional rehabilitation strategy for long-term and continuous care, allowing patients to train intensively and extensively in household settings, favoring a tailor-made and personalized approach as well as remote monitoring.PMID:38483335 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08381-3 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Cognitive assessment to optimize prediction of functional outcome in subacute hip fracture: a short-term prospective study
CONCLUSIONS: Contrary to our hypothesis, MoCA but not RAVLT and FAB retained the prognostic role when the scores from the three tests were evaluated together as potential predictors of functional ability in activities of daily living.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In the presence of a normal (or mildly altered) score on the SPMSQ in subacute hip fracture, MoCA scores improve prediction of activities of daily living and should be routinely performed.PMID:38483331 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08203-0 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation for preventing shoulder subluxation after stroke: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: The rPMS may be a new modality for preventing shoulder subluxation. The association between motor impairment and the sustained effect needs to be further examined.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Applying rPMS to the muscles of the paralyzed shoulder after a stroke may prevent shoulder subluxation.PMID:38483332 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08264-9 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

360 ° immersive virtual reality-based mirror therapy for upper extremity function and satisfaction among stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: 360MT appears to be a promising approach for upper extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients, providing better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and strengthen the evidence base for 360MT in stroke rehabilitation.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: 360MT demonstrated notably enhanced upper extremity rehabilitation outcomes as well as better patient satisfaction among chronic stroke patients within six months of onset compared to traditional MT and conventional physical therapy. This novel approach not only fostered functional improvements but ...
