The incidence of floorball injuries-A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of floorball injuries is high, especially among women. When considering the growing popularity of floorball, these pooled incidences serve as reference values for future injury prevention programs.PMID:38663160 | DOI:10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.04.003 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients Living with Chronic Kidney Disease and Receiving Hemodialysis: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
CONCLUSIONS: IMT improves MIP, MEP, and functional capacity in people living with CKD and receiving HD. IMT did not demonstrate significant results for lung function and quality of life. Effects on endothelial function and oxidative capacity remain uncertain.IMPACT: Inspiratory muscle training improves MIP, MEP, and functional capacity in people living with CKD and receiving HD, compared with conventional physical therapy or controls or placebo intervention. Increases in functional capacity in this population are extremely important because of the relationship with the survival of these people.PMID:38662569 | DOI:10.1093/p...

Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Perceived Exertion During Aerobic Exercise in Eumenorrheic Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The current meta-analysis showed that MC does not impact RPE. Although acute RPE is not impacted by MC phases, future studies and practitioners should pay attention to the impact of RPE session by session throughout the MC.PMID:38659609 | PMC:PMC11042688 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2745: Study of the Possibility of Using Virtual Reality Application in Rehabilitation Among Elderly Post-Stroke Patients
This article presents a rehabilitation application dedicated to patients with upper limb paresis and unilateral spatial neglect (USN). The application was tested on a group of 60 individuals including 30 post-stroke patients with an average age of 72.83 years. The results of the conducted study include a self-assessment by the patients, the physiotherapist’s evaluation, as well as the patients’ performance of the exercise in VR. The study showed that elderly post-stroke patients are able to use virtual reality applications, but the ability to correctly and fully perform an exercise in VR depends...

Understanding exercise referrals in primary care: a qualitative study of General Practitioners and Physiotherapists
Physical inactivity is estimated to cost the UK National Health Service over £7.4 billion per year. Healthcare practitioners have a key role in supporting increases in physical activity (PA) levels, including referring to exercise referral schemes. To date, there has been little research into practitioner perspectives on referrals to exercise schemes. (Source: Physiotherapy)
