Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (hCR), combining supervised center-based sessions with synchronous, real-time telerehabilitation at home, offers an alternative to conventional CR to overcome logistical barriers such as facility limitations, distance, and pandemic-related disruptions. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the noninferiority of hCR compared to standard CR in improving functional capacity in patients with chronic heart disease, including those with stable coronary artery disease. Seventy-five participants were randomized into two groups: the CR group, with exclusively center-based sessions, and the hCR group, with synchronous tele-rehabilitation sessions at home complemented by center-based sessions. Functional capacity was assessed using cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the six-minute walk test, and the wall squat test. Both groups showed significant improvements in functional outcomes, including walking distance (six-minute walk test), strength capacity (wall squat test), and cardiopulmonary exercise testing performance ( P < 0.001). The improvements in the hCR group were statistically noninferior to those in the CR group. These findings demonstrate that hCR provides an effective alternative to conventional CR while addressing practical challenges in access to care. The hCR protocol represents a viable solution for expanding rehabilitation options without compromising outcomes, particularly for patients facing logistical constraints or during emergencies such as pandemics.","PeriodicalId":14301,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Rehabilitation Research","volume":" ","pages":"25-30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143023349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity of CCRacer by applying it alongside established neuropsychological tests to a sample of 78 participants with acquired brain injury. Results revealed varying levels of convergent validity across tasks, with stronger correlations for measures of working memory (0.28-0.51) and planning (-0.46 to 0.34) and weaker correlations for inhibitory control (0.22).

A total of 85 youth post-mTBI (median age: 10.00, 25-75th percentile: 8.50-2.62; 24% girls) and their mothers participated in this study. Assessments included PTSS/PTSD, postconcussion symptoms, loss of consciousness status, child's anxiety, and maternal mental health, both shortly after mTBI (T1) and 1 year later (T2). Changes in PTSS scores from T1 to T2 were evaluated using the Wilcoxon test. T2 PTSS evolution was evaluated using correlations and partial correlations. To evaluate PTSD recovery trajectories, the percentage of youth in four recovery trajectories (chronic, delayed, recovery, and resilience) was calculated. Results showed a significant decrease in PTSS and PTSD rates from T1 (34%) to T2 (21%). PTSS at T2 was associated with PTSS and postconcussion symptoms at T1. After accounting for the child's sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, the child's self-reported PTSS at T1, along with self-reported postconcussion symptoms and symptom intensity, showed significant correlations with PTSS at T2 ( r = 0.60, 0.32, and 0.37, respectively; P < 0.05). Most youth fell into the 'resilient' (40%) or 'recovery' (35%) groups, with only 6% showing 'delayed' recovery. One year after mTBI, 20% of the youth still experienced PTSD. In conclusion, this study highlights the need for long-term monitoring of youth after mTBI, as a notable proportion continue to experience enduring PTSD or PTSS.","PeriodicalId":14301,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Rehabilitation Research","volume":" ","pages":"40-47"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143004935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was a cross-sectional study with individuals diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis or spondyloarthritis) treated at a Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic.

In addition, the magnitude of the goniometric change in R1 (angle of catch response) across the responders and nonresponders was studied as a distribution of frequency. Significant improvements in R1 and ASAS were achieved with the treatment. The standardized response mean based on the ASAS grades was 1.50 with a 95% confidence interval of 1.16-1.89. At the individual level, 40 of all cases (78.4%) were responders, and 11 (21.6%) were nonresponders.
