- •
The prevalence of dyspnea after a stroke was 44%.
- •
Dyspnea is associated with activity limitations and restrictions in community participation after a stroke.
- •
Stroke survivors, who had dyspnea, were six times more likely to report activity limitations and two times more likely to report restrictions in social participation.
- •
Children and adolescents with myelomeningocele showed higher heart rate at rest.
- •
Children and adolescents with myelomeningocele did not show differences in HR and BP variability.
- •
Children and adolescents with myelomeningocele showed lower baroreflex sensitivity.
- •
We studied the likely mediator between pain catastrophizing and pain worsening.
- •
This relationship was mediated by disability and muscle weakness.
- •
Cognitive intervention for disability and muscle strengthening may be effective for relieving pain.
- •
Magnetic therapy as a novel alternative treatment is suitable for managing LBP. Its advantage over the standard pharmacological intervention is due to fewer side effects.
- •
Previous studies reflect that there is still a gap in selecting the optimum parameters of pulsed electromagnetic field for treating acute and chronic nonspecific LBP. Many studies used high intensity and frequency of the PEMF, while others applied low parameters of the PEMF. While this study used 50Hz frequency, with low intensity of 20Gauss.
- •
The dose of with 50Hz and 20Gauss seems to be useful.
- •
Better QoL of children with asthma is associated with a lower asthma severity.
- •
Better QoL is associated with a good sleep quality.
- •
Better QoL of children with asthma associated with a lower dyspnea after exercise.
- •
Left side dominance has a prevalence for trunk asymmetry.
- •
Embryology factors could justify the development of left-right side dominance.
- •
It is unclear how neuro-abnormality is common in trunk asymmetry with left convexity.
- •
Dry needling (DN) is commonly used for Orofacial pain treatment.
- •
DN is better than other interventions for pain in the short-term.
- •
DN is better than sham therapy on pressure pain threshold in the short-term.
- •
Due to the very low quality of evidence and the small effect size, caution is needed.
- •
Randomized controlled trials of high methodological quality are needed.
- •
Handheld dynamometer may be considered valid for scapular protraction strength test.
- •
The best correlation with the gold standard occurs with subjects tested seated.
- •
Handheld dynamometer tends to overestimate the peak force.
- •
Therapists in the hospital should assess functioning to develop the rehabilitation plan.
- •
The use of the ICF contributes to a standardized documentation and communication.
- •
The relevant ICF categories for inpatient physical therapy care are identified.
- •
The use of the selected categories enables the practical application of the ICF.
