Comparison of Heart Rate Reserve-Guided and Ratings of Perceived Exertion-Guided Methods for High-Intensity Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Patients With Chronic Stroke: Focused on the Motor Function and Gait Ability
The present study was to compare the effectiveness of heart rate reserve (HRR)-guided high-intensity robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) to RPE-guided high-intensity RAGT on motor function and gait ability in patients with chronic stroke. The HRR-guided high-intensity RAGT group received the RAGT at 70% of HRR, whereas the RPE-guided high-intensity RAGT group received RAGT at RPE of 15. Both groups received their assigned therapy for 30 minutes per session, 3 days per week for 6 weeks. HRR-guided high-intensity RAGT group was significantly more improved than the RPE-guided high-intensity RAGT group in Fugl-Meyer assessment...

Hip Manual Therapy for Aging and Older Adults
Manual therapy interventions for the aging population (aged 50 years) have received increased attention in the research literature over the last decade. Where only 2 published trials were present before 2005, more than 10 publications on the results of clinical and randomized trials now provide a strong body of evidence, supporting at least the consideration of the usage of manual interventions to the hip region for the aged patient impaired by restricted hip function. This literature review synthesizes the most recent additions to the growing body of knowledge in this area, providing to the reader a detailed narrative on ...

Cervical Spine Manual Therapy for Aging and Older Adults
Neck pain is a common problem in aging and older adults. This narrative review synthesizes recent literature on manual therapy to the cervical spine and adjacent regions. Emphasis has been placed on summarizing high-quality randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews with a narrative synthesis or meta-analysis, and clinical practice guidelines. The synthesis suggests that although there is limited high-quality evidence, a multimodal approach including manual therapy and exercise seems safe and effective, especially in the short term, for improving outcomes in aging and older adults with neck pain. The results for cervic...
