Acute inpatient rehabilitation for COVID-19 survivors: A retrospective case series
CONCLUSION: Patients with COVID-19, who experienced prolonged hospital stay present with severe impairments in muscle strength, functional mobility, and participation in daily living tasks. Inpatient rehabilitation may have the potential to reduce impairments and accelerate the recovery process while managing ongoing medical issues.PMID:37184416 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2213773

Functional Electrical Stimulation: A Possible Strategy to Improve Muscle Function in Central Core Disease?
Central Core Disease (CCD) is a congenital myopathy characterized by presence of amorphous central areas (or cores) lacking glycolytic/oxidative enzymes and mitochondria in skeletal muscle fibers. Most CCD families are linked to mutations in ryanodine receptor type-1 (RYR1), the gene encoding for the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel of skeletal muscle. As no treatments are available for CCD, currently management of patients is essentially based on a physiotherapic approaches. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a technique used to deliver low energy electrical impulses to artificially stimulate selec...

Interprofessional education (IPE) for respiratory care in neuromuscular disease (NMD) is feasible, and improves confidence in clinical practice
Conclusions: IPE offers a promising approach to training in respiratory care in NMD. Further work is required to determine whether IPE improves collaboration and clinical outcomes.
