The interviews were conducted 1-2 weeks after the intervention period and analysed inductively with qualitative content analysis.Results: The theme \"Supervised cardiorespiratory interval training at home was perceived as feasible and safe, reducing fatigue and contributing to enhanced self-efficacy in both exercise and everyday life\" was based on 4 main categories: \"Experiences of performing the intervention and testing, \"Perceived impact of the intervention on fatigue\", \"Perceived impact of the intervention on self-efficacy\", and \"The reinforcing experiences of exercise transfer to everyday life\". The informants reported that participating in the intervention made them feel physically and mentally stronger and no longer restricted by a lack of confidence in performing activities that increased their heart rate.Conclusions: Participating in supervised intense cardiorespiratory interval training provided a model on how to train, which was transferable to other contexts in everyday life. The training improved exercise self-efficacy and gave the informants the confidence to challenge themselves in everyday life.","PeriodicalId":54768,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"57 ","pages":"jrm42282"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12016664/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144053179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data will be analysed in accordance with established methods in each of these research fields and by a cross-analysis methodology developed from within an enactive framework.

Selection required an appraisal of efficacy of an inpatient rehabilitation intervention delivered within 6 months of injury.Results: 1,250 papers were found. Titles and abstracts were compared against the selection criteria, with 52 papers being selected for full-text review. None of these met the selection criteria.

This clinical case demonstrates a comprehensive, patient-centred approach to the rehabilitation of a 25-year-old serviceman with triple amputations caused by a mine-blast injury. The patient progressed through pre-prosthetic and prosthetic rehabilitation stages, achieved independent mobility with prosthetics, transitioned to the K3 functional level, and adapted to his independent life. The success of this case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, modern technologies, and adherence to evidence-based rehabilitation practices. The leading role of the physical and rehabilitation medicine physician was pivotal in coordinating and adjusting the rehabilitation process, ensuring the optimal use of available resources, and aligning the patient's care with clinical goals. Challenges such as delays in rehabilitation initiation and limited resources highlight the need to expand inpatient rehabilitation capacity and standardize protocols. A coordinated bio-psycho-social rehabilitation model must be the framework for increasing the effectiveness of rehabilitation services and optimizing functioning and quality of life after severe injuries. Implementing multidisciplinary approaches tailored to wartime settings is crucial for combatants' effective recovery and reintegration.","PeriodicalId":54768,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"57 ","pages":"jrm42950"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11971939/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143722667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
