In addition, horizontal canal BPPV often adversely affects dynamic balance. Objectives The purpose of this systematic review was to determine which current roll and side-lying maneuvers are most effective while treating individuals with geotropic horizontal canal BPPV. Methods CINAHL Complete, PubMed, and Web of Science were the databases accessed from inception through 2020 by all four authors. The search terms were geotropic AND (horizontal OR lateral) AND vertigo. The methodological rigor of the included studies was evaluated using a 10-item tool created by Medlicott and Harris. Results All of the maneuvers included in this systematic review demonstrated high efficacy and few contraindications. Horizontal canal BPPV tends to spontaneously resolve in a relatively short period of time secondary to the anatomical positioning of the semicircular canals. However, the maneuvers described in this systematic review may expedite the natural remission process in individuals with long-term symptoms associated with horizontal canal BPPV. Conclusions It is recommended that clinicians utilize one of the maneuvers identified in this systematic review for individuals with geotropic horizontal canal BPPV. The Gufoni maneuver might be preferable to the Baloh 360-degree roll maneuver and/or the Lempert 270-degree roll maneuver when treating individuals who are elderly, who are obese, and/or who experience immobility. If an individual is unable to tolerate a maneuver or prefers not to have one performed, forced prolonged positioning is another possible option.","PeriodicalId":46541,"journal":{"name":"Physical Therapy Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41428250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This topical review and hypothesis-generating paper discuss the current evidence and gaps regarding abnormal nociceptive processing in patients with shoulder pain. This paper also proposes hypotheses to test the presence of a pro-nociceptive pain modulation profile by measuring the pain responses to conditioned pain modulation, mechanical temporal summation and movement-evoked pain procedures. Moreover, this paper proposes whether a pro-nociceptive pain modulation profile can explain the variability in the pain experience in people with shoulder pain. Gaining insights into the abnormal nociceptive processing in people with acute and chronic shoulder pain will guide future research and clinical practice to improve shoulder pain outcomes.","PeriodicalId":46541,"journal":{"name":"Physical Therapy Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44604414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inclusion criteria required (1) ES as the primary intervention, (2) human participants with SCI/D, (3) pre-post measure of an orthotic and/or therapeutic effect, and (4) original data. Data extracted were participant characteristics, ES and exercise parameters, outcome measures, complications, orthotic and/or therapeutic effects.

Results Included studies were case studies or case-series (n = 24), or pre-post interventions (n = 23). One study was a case-control. Research quality was poor to fair. There were mixed results of ES on bladder and sexual function, and standing in participants with SCI/D. Effects of ES included improved bowel function, increased cardiorespiratory and cardiometabolic function, pain reduction, decreased spasms and spasticity, and, when combined with repetitive movement training, improved gait parameters.

Cognitive interventions and exercise have been found to be efficacious in improving cognitive function in several clinical populations (e.g. older adults with mild cognitive impairment and dementia). However, the utility of cognitive interventions has not been systematically reviewed in HD. This systematic review aims to examine the efficacy of cognitive and physical interventions on cognitive function in HD. Methods Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CENTRAL) were searched from inception until 10 May 2021 for interventional studies investigating the effect of cognition-oriented treatments and physical exercise on cognitive function in individuals with HD, compared to any control or no control. The primary outcome is change on objective measures of cognition. Additional outcomes include change in psychosocial, functional and neuroimaging measures. Variations of effects based on population and study factors will be considered. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool and ROBINS-I tool. Where appropriate, outcomes will be pooled using random-effects meta-analyses, heterogeneity will be examined using tau2 and I2 statistics, and moderators will be examined using meta-regression models.

Objectives To report and synthesize home exercise adherence and strategies to promote home exercise adherence in order to understand the limitations of the current evidence base and make recommendations for clinical practice and future research investigating HEPs in the management of RCRSP.

Presently, there is no consensus regarding the pathophysiology of PPCS. Preliminary evidence suggests that individuals with PPCS have either a dysfunctional autonomic nervous system (ANS) or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA-axis). The ANS and HPA-axis collectively make up the two arms of the peripheral stress response. In the presence of a stressor, the two arms work interchangeably to return the body back to homeostasis. With concussion as the stressor, it is plausible that the development and maintenance of PPCS are due to a dysfunctional stress response. Only one study has explored the relationship between PPCS and the two arms of the stress response (ANS and HPA-axis) in combination, which presents a clear gap in the literature. Objective The proposed protocol aims to determine the extent of evidence for dysfunction of the stress response in individuals with PPCS. This review will individually map the literature surrounding quantifiable changes in the (1) ANS and (2) HPA-axis in individuals with PPCS. The review will also highlight any (3) knowledge gaps in this emerging field of research. Methods A scoping review study design has been chosen to facilitate a thorough literature search on this broad exploratory topic.

Stimulation of the motor cortex by noninvasive brain stimulators and therapy focused on repetitive functional activities can increase upper limb functioning after stroke.

Existing PROMs on falls efficacy provide meaningful information about the perceived ability in older people to perform common activities of daily living without falling. However, the perceived ability to recover balance from a slip, a trip, or volitional movements has been inadequately assessed. Balance recovery confidence relates to the judgment of self-reactive ability. The scale of balance recovery confidence (BRC) is a new PROM that measures perceived balance recovery self-efficacy. The purpose of the study protocol is to describe the first psychometric evaluation of BRC’s measurement properties. Objective This study is a validation phase of a newly developed PROM conducted in Singapore. Methods Two hundred community-dwelling older adults, aged 65 years and older, will complete five self-reported instruments (BRC, Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, Falls Efficacy Scale-International, Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument-Function and Global Perceived Effect) and three performance measures (Hand strength dynamometer, 30-second Chair Stand, Mini BESTest).
