Resonant breathing exercises require less exertion and can potentially improve autonomic function. The objective of this work was to report on the impact of a resonant breathing program on self-reported symptoms and wellbeing in people with Long COVID.\u0000Methods: A retrospective analysis of de-identified data was completed in a convenience sample of people with Long Covid, who participated in the Meo Health (formerly known as Stasis HP) resonant breathing program. Participants completed baseline and follow up surveys.\u0000Results: Data were available for 99 participants. Most measures of symptoms and wellbeing improved at follow up, with the largest differences per participant seen in sense of wellness (47.3%, p<0.0001), ability to focus (57.5%, p<0.0001), ability to breathe (47.5%, p<0.0001), ability to control stress (61.8%, p<0.0001) and sleep quality (34.9%, p=0.0002). Most (92%) participants reported improvement at follow up on the Patient Global Impression of Change Scale.\u0000Conclusion: Self-reported symptoms and wellbeing improved in people with Long COVID completing resonant breathing. Resonant breathing can be considered as an option within the broader treatment plan of people with Long COVID.","PeriodicalId":501453,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140301407","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}

Objectives: To describe assessments that measure FSR in adulthood, including their psychometric properties, and to determine if impairments in body structures and functions contribute to limitations in FSR performance in adults with orthopedic or neurological disability. Design: Google Scholar, Pubmed, CINHAL (Medline), and Rehab Measures will be searched for studies that report the full FSR transition. Studies must be original research in the adult population. Result: We will categorize studies based on aims, study type, population characteristics, and abilities. We will narratively synthesize results, discuss potential personal and environmental factors influencing FSR, and identify the gaps in the literature to inform future research directions.

Final data from 43 students was used in the analysis. The SST measured cognitive changes in both single-task and dual-task conditions. RESULTS: The 6MWT significantly enhanced cognitive performance in both single and dual-task conditions. However, the addition of music did not show a substantial improvement in cognitive performance. The findings indicated the positive impact of 6MWT on cognitive abilities, irrespective of musical accompaniment.

Methods: 31 subjects with chronic stroke and 36 age-matched controls completed a computerized cognitive examination that included an anti-saccade task for measuring prepotent inhibition and processing speed and stimulus-response association task (NEXT) for measuring RITL and proactive inhibition. Results: RITL abilities were impaired after stroke, together with prepotent inhibition and processing speed. A correlation analysis revealed that RITL is associated with prepotent inhibition abilities and with processing speed.\u0000Conclusions: Subjects with stroke show impairments in the ability to follow instructions, that may be related to their impaired prepotent inhibition and processing speed.

To compare the impacts of gym training and circuit Zoom-tele-training on health parameters in ambulatory adults with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods. Participants were divided into three groups: The Gym-group that underwent resistance-and-aerobic training program (n=12), the Zoom-group that underwent a circuit Zoom-tele-training program (n=14), and the Control-group that was on a waitlist and underwent no training (n=14). The two training gropes exercised bi-weekly for 12-week. Measurements included blood pressure, waist circumference, BMI, 15-repetition maximum-strength tests, and a LALA aerobic shuttle test analyzed using a linear mixed model.\u0000Results. Weight circumference decreased in both the Gym and Zoom groups (P=.0202 and P=.0014 respectively). In addition, in both these groups systolic (P=.018, P=.0001 respectively) and diastolic (P=.086 -marginal significance, P<.0001 respectively) blood pressure decreased, with a more pronounced reduction in the diastolic blood pressure for the Zoom-group (P=.043). Maximum aerobic speed increased (P<.0001) in the Zoom-group, with the Gym-group achieving the same speed with a lower peak heart rate (P=.0144). Strength significantly improved in the Zoom group for row (P=.05) and knee-extension (P<.0001) exercises. The Gym group improved in all strength measures (Row P<.0001, Chest-press P<.0001, and Knee-extension P<.0001). The Gym-group gains were greater than the Zoom-group in the row (P<.0001) and knee-extension (P=.005) exercises. The Control-group experienced a rise in BMI (P=.0256), waist circumference (P=.056 marginal significance), and systolic blood pressure (P=.055 marginal significance). Conclusion. Both exercise programs effectively reduced health-risk factors. The Zoom-group excelled in improving aerobic capacity and diastolic blood pressure, while the Gym-group demonstrated superior strength gains. Not exercising was detrimental to body mass, waist circumference, and blood pressure.\u0000Impact. Exercise programs enhance long life heath and prevent health deterioration in adults with cerebral palsy.
