Studies were included if they evaluated the effects of exercise on patients with MRCT. The risk of bias was evaluated and the Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) was also used. A narrative synthesis without meta-analysis was performed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>One randomized controlled trial, two non-randomized studies, six non-controlled studies, one case series and four retrospective studies were included.

In taking my medical history, he went through the usual list of questions, and then he asked me what kind of work I did. I told him I was a biomedical engineer, and he responded, “Have you invented anything lately?” Initially, I was amazed at this practitioner’s clairvoyance in discovering that my work involved the development of new medical instrumentation, but then I thought maybe he was not as perceptive as I originally thought. Maybe he just had a very narrow view of what biomedical engineers did and thought that all biomedical engineering involved was the invention of new gizmos for use in clinical medicine. Perhaps he assumed we were just gadgeteers who occasionally came up with something useful to the field of medicine but that more often our creative endeavors resulted in frivolous devices.","PeriodicalId":50391,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine","volume":"29 1","pages":"3-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/MEMB.2010.936546","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62476020","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}
