Reply to comment on: “Nordic Walking for the Management of People with Parkinson Disease: A Systematic Review”
We are pleased to respond to the letter by Dr Mohammad Alwardat, who raised some issues about the methodology and conclusions of our recent publication, titled “Nordic Walking for the Management of People With Parkinson Disease: A Systematic Review” [1]. We believe that there may have been some misinterpretation on Dr Alwardat’s part, and by this reply we wish to clarify any concern to Dr Alwardat’s and to PM&R readers ’ satisfaction.

Comments on: “Nordic Walking for the Management of People With Parkinson Disease: A Systematic Review”
Cugusi et al [1] recently conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effects of Nordic walking on motor and nonmotor symptoms, functional performance, and quality of life in people with Parkinson disease. Investigating the effect of physical activity and exercise may help to better understand the impact of these interventions on physical and mental health in patients with Parkinson disease. I wish to comment on some procedures and findings in this review. (Source: PM and R)

Refractory Knee Osteoarthritis: Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells Versus Bone Marrow Aspiration Concentrate
A 56-year-old woman presents to the clinic with a long history of right knee pain. The pain began insidiously 4 years prior and she reports a slow progression in pain and decrease in her function. She has been treated with oral analgesics and anti-inflammatories. In addition, she is currently enrolled in her third round of physical therapy. Last year she had an intra-articular corticosteroid injection, which gave her about 6 weeks of relief. Following this, she underwent a series of 3 hyaluronic acid injections (SupartzFX) that she completed 3 months ago. (Source: PM and R)
