High‐Intensity Aerobic Interval Training for Patients 3–9 Months After Stroke. A Feasibility Study
ConclusionsThis study has shown that high‐intensity AIT is feasible for a selected group of stroke patients. However, the training should be accomplished in line with the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for high‐risk populations to ensure safety. The participants achieved a clinically highly significant improvement in walking distance. This intervention should be tested out in a randomized controlled trial to assess if it is superior to other interventions. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On 6 June 2007 Debbie Hampton, of Greensboro, North Carolina, took an overdose of more than 90 pills – a combination of ten different prescription drugs, some of which she’d stolen from a neighbor’s bedside cabinet. That afternoon, she’d written a note on her computer: “I’ve screwed up this life so bad that there is no place here for me and nothing I can contr...

The mechanisms responsible for exercise intolerance in early-stage breast cancer: What role does chemotherapy play?
Publication date: June 2013 Source:Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal, Volume 31, Issue 1 Author(s): Alis Bonsignore , Darren Warburton In this narrative review of the literature, we discuss the influence of chemotherapy treatment on peak aerobic power (VO2peak) for women with breast cancer and the mechanisms for exercise intolerance. In specific, we examine the central, peripheral, and oxygen transport mechanisms responsible for exercise intolerance in women living with breast cancer. Our findings indicate that reduced ventricular contractility, reduced left ventricular (LV) compliance, and increased afterload are (in part...

Future-proofing the Profession: Physiotherapists ’ Perceptions of their Current and Emerging Role
This qualitative report is important and reflects the deeper thinking that is needed about the directions of physiotherapy as a leading established health profession [1]. As a profession we have shown less reflexivity and responsiveness to epidemiologic trends since the end of World War 2, over 70 years ago. Given the progressive increase in prevalence of chronic lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases since World War 2, namely, heart disease, cancer, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, renal disease, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer ’s disease and that non-invasive interventions are typically superior to drug...
