Strategies for knee stabilising and pivot-shift avoidance in a step-down and cross-over task observed sub-acutely after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction showed a knee-stabilising and pivot-shift avoidance strategy for both legs early in rehabilitation. These results may reflect an altered motor representation and motivate considerations early in rehabilitation. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Web-based cognitive rehabilitation intervention for cancer-related cognitive impairment following chemotherapy for aggressive lymphoma: protocol for a randomised pilot trial
Introduction
Cancer-related cognitive impairment is common among people diagnosed with and treated for cancer. This can be a distressing and disabling side effect for impacted individuals. Interventions to mitigate cognitive dysfunction are available, but, to date, most have been trialled in samples that are largely or exclusively composed of people with solid tumours. Intervention strategies to support cognitive functioning are needed, but there is a paucity of research in this area. The main aim of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of methods and procedures intended for use in a definitive trial of ...

Off- to in-season body composition adaptations in elite male and female endurance and power event athletics competitors: an observational study
ConclusionsThe present study found that male athletes gained more BM, LM and trunk LM than females. Within-group increases in regional and whole-body LM and BMC were predominantly found among power event competitors. Incorporating individual meaningful changes alongside traditional statistics provided additional insights into sex and event-group differences. Future research on elite athletic event groups should include DXA measurements closer to major outdoor-season competitions, coupled with site-specific measures (ultrasound, MRI) for better detection of subtle changes in LM and FM.

Psychological constructs from the Fear Avoidance Model and Beyond as predictors for persisting symptoms after concussion: An integrative review
Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury, refers to the transient alteration of neurological function caused by a sudden, biomechanically applied force to the head or body. In the United States, it is estimated that 4 million concussions occur each year with as many as 50% of cases unreported.1 Although the majority of patients fully recover within the first several weeks of injury, 10-30% of individuals experience persisting symptoms after concussion (PSaC) and report impairments months to years post-injury that often require continued rehabilitation.

Current Status of Partial Laryngeal Surgery for Advanced Laryngeal Cancer: When and Why?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis paper aims to evaluate the evolution and current status of partial laryngeal surgery in the treatment of advanced laryngeal cancer (LC). Specifically, recent progress in the selection of both patients and tumors, together with surgical and rehabilitation innovations, have contributed to balancing oncological control with the maintenance of quality of life in na ïve and radiorecurrent patients. The main aspect is represented by the recognized role of open partial horizontal laryngectomies (OPHLs) in this new era of laryngeal cancer treatment.Recent FindingsRecent advancements highlight OPHLs â...

Sex differences of post-Covid patients undergoing outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation
ConclusionBoth subjective symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnea and objective impairment in performance in pulmonary function were more frequently observed among women. Despite improvement throughout OPR in both women and men, the sex-gap in symptom load could not be closed as women less often achieved remission from functional impairment due to PCS. Intensified treatment of these symptoms should be considered in women undergoing rehabilitation for PCS. (Source: Biology of Sex Differences)

Self-management including exercise, education and activity modification compared to usual care for adolescents with Osgood-Schlatter (the SOGOOD trial): protocol of a randomized controlled superiority trial
DiscussionThe novel approach has already shown promise in previous cohort studies. This trial will potentially provide much-needed level 1 evidence for the effectiveness of the self-management approach, representing a crucial step towards addressing the long-term pain and limitations associated with Osgood-Schlatter.Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05174182. Prospectively registered December 30th 2021. Date of first recruitment: January 3rd 2022. Target sample size: 130 participants. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)
