Cognitive approaches in the rehabilitation of upper limbs function in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive therapies provided with encouraging results in the recovery of upper limb motor functions, although not a clinical effect in bimanual or unimanual performance; they could represent a valid therapeutic solution integrated to conventional rehabilitation in the treatment of upper limb motor impairment in children with CP.PMID:38512713 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08288-1 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Neck muscle spasticity in patients with disorder of consciousness: a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: Spasticity of neck muscles frequently develops in patients with DOC and is more severe in those after TBI. UWV and MCS have different spasticity profiles as regards risk factors and neurological and functional outcome. Severity of neck muscle spasticity in UWV patients may represent an early indicator of worse neurological and functional outcome after inpatient rehabilitation.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Our findings could prompt clinicians to redefine the rehabilitation aims regarding spasticity and to estimate the functional outcome in patients undergoing intensive rehabilitation after severe ABI.PMID:385...

Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE-Schroth) can reduce the risk for progression during early growth in curves below 25 °: prospective control study
CONCLUSIONS: PSSE - Schroth reduced the risk of progression in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients, during early growth. Our results are in accordance with the recently published literature, showing the effectiveness of PSSE and their superiority compared to general exercises or natural history.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Scoliosis specific exercises can be the first step of scoliosis treatment in mild curves, to avoid progression and bracing.PMID:38502554 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08177-2 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Development of core sets for deafblindness: an international expert survey on functioning and disability of individuals living with deafblindness using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health
CONCLUSIONS: Almost three quarters (73.3%) of the entire ICF classification categories were included in the expert survey results. This proportion emphasizes the importance of a multidimensional tool, such as the ICF, for assessing functioning and health for persons with deafblindness.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The representation of this professional perspective in Core Set development will improve standardized assessment and documentation, intervention planning, and facilitate interprofessional communication with the goal of improving person-centered care for persons living with deafblindness.PMID:38502555 | DOI:10.2...

Conservative non-pharmacological treatments for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies in women treated for breast cancer: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: There is still controversial evidence on conservative non-pharmacological interventions for the management of CIPN symptoms. We believe however that moderate exercise, as well as all types of stress reducing activities like sport, yoga and mindfulness, should be encouraged in cancer patients for their positive effect on global physical and psychological health. Further studies of higher methodological quality are needed to determine the best conservative approach to CIPN.PMID:38502556 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08197-8 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Safety of dry needling in stroke patients: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, there is a paucity of literature concerning the safety of DN in stroke patients. This review is the first to investigate the safety of DN in stroke patients and based on the results there is insufficient evidence regarding the safety of DN in stroke patients.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Although DN could be a promising treatment in post-stroke spasticity, further research is indicated to investigate its mechanism of action and its effect on outcome. However, before conducting large clinical trials to assess outcome parameters, the safety of DN in stroke patients must be further investigated.P...

Therapeutic approach to dysphagia in post-COVID patients in a rehabilitation unit, a descriptive longitudinal study
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that a structured swallowing-exercise training intervention based on IEMT and NMES is feasible and safe in prolonged hospitalization post-COVID patients.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: To describe rehabilitation protocols used to treat dysphagia in post-COVID patients will help us to optimize the available techniques in each center and to induce a faster recovery avoiding potential complications.PMID:38502558 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08234-0 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)
