To facilitate recovery, regain function, and promote quality of life after SCI, rehabilitation in the acute care setting is of paramount importance. After discharge from acute care, there is difficulty in accessing appropriate intervention to facilitate community reintegration. This review examined the content, strengths, limitations, and effectiveness of existing community reintegration intervention programs after SCI to promote the adoption of the existing programs or the development of new interventions for individuals with SCI in a low-resource setting. We conducted a review of the literature using Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework. Six electronic databases were searched from the database inception to September 2022, including Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Sabinet, and Global Health. A manual search of the selected references was also conducted. Seven articles met our inclusion criteria. Overall, 290 individuals participated in the included studies, 80% of the participants were males, and the majority of the participants had an injury at the thoracic level. The studies presented different interventional programs with varying contents addressing different aspects of community reintegration such as household duties, mobility, health maintenance, and recreation. All the identified programs have evidence of preliminary effectiveness in some domains of community reintegration (e.g., household duties, mobility, and health). However, most available programs are geared toward addressing a specific aspect of community reintegration and may not be suitable for individuals with complex needs. A robust program that encompasses all critical aspects of community reintegration (housing and household duties, mobility, recreation, health maintenance, pain management, sexuality, social support, and employment) may be required. Therefore, further development and validation of existing programs are warranted.","PeriodicalId":55870,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67436518","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}

The technique involves the use of a torniquet or cuff to limit blood flow to the affected limb during low-resistance exercise, which creates a hypoxic environment thought to stimulate muscle growth and improve muscle function. Objective: Our scoping review aims to examine the current literature on the effectiveness of BFR combined with low-resistance exercise on rehabilitation after knee surgery. Method: The Google Scholar, PubMed, and PEDro databases were searched using relevant keywords. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected for analysis. The data from the selected studies were analyzed, categorized, and summarized to provide an overview of the findings. Results: A total, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Outcomes such as pain, strength, and range of motion were assessed. Conclusion: The results suggest that BFR and low-resistance exercise can be effective in improving patient outcomes following knee surgery. However, the heterogeneity of the studies made it difficult to determine the most effective approach. Further research is needed to identify the optimal dosage, frequency, and duration of BFR and low-resistance exercise for knee surgery rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":55870,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136208539","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}

One in three athletes who suffer a sprain will end up with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Resistance and proprioceptive training have been shown to have a positive effect on the rehabilitation of CAI. However, the right type of training, dosage and intensity are currently unclear on many points. Aim. To investigate current literature addressing the effects of resistance and proprioceptive training on improving the symptoms of athletes with CAI. Method. The MEDLINE, SCIENCE DIRECT, PEDro, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus and EMBASE databases were searched using different combinations of the following keywords: chronic ankle instability, athletes, proprioceptive exercise, resistance exercise, and rehabilitation. The review included clinical studies that were applied to professional or amateur athletes with CAI from 1998 to the present. These studies included protocols for resistance and/or proprioceptive exercise programs that were applied independently or in combination with other therapy regimens. Results. Eighteen clinical trials were included in this review: three on resistance training, five on proprioceptive training and ten on both. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) was used to assess the quality of all articles. Discussion. Both types of training, resistance and proprioceptive, seem to improve the symptoms of athletes with CAI. However, better results seem to be derived from combined protocols that include both types of exercise. Conclusions. Four to six weeks of a combined resistance and proprioceptive exercise program may increase the strength of the ankle joint muscles, dynamic balance, functional ability and quality of life in athletes with CAI.","PeriodicalId":55870,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135828206","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}

The quality of the included studies was assessed using the PEDro scale. This study is registered on PROSPERO, number CRD42022351069. Results and discussion: The search generated 211 results, of which 13 full-text articles were reviewed. The review includes four randomized controlled trials of high methodological quality that analysed the latest evidence on the benefits of eccentric and concentric strengthening in 239 people with knee OA grade 2 or 3. All of the examined studies indicated that both training programs improved pain, muscle strength, and functional activities. Conclusion: Concentrically focused resistance training lowered pain intensity after ambulation and daily activities. Both eccentric and concentric exercises enhanced functional performance and muscle strength. Although eccentric and concentric exercises can both aid OA patients in enhancing their functional abilities, the therapist must choose the approach that best fits the patient’s objectives and other health-related variables.","PeriodicalId":55870,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135910344","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}

Factors influencing the CR has been studied in the past, however, subjects were in chronic phase of recovery. Purpose: To review the factors predicting CR among community-dwelling sub-acute stroke subjects. Methods: The cross-sectional study included 92 subacute stroke subjects. Each subject was assessed for trunk control, physical function, balance self-efficacy, fear of fall, and community reintegration (CR) using trunk impairment scale, Stroke Impact Scale-16, Activity specific balance confidence scale, Falls efficacy Scale–International and Reintegration to Normal Living Index, respectively. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to associate CR with trunk control, Physical function, balance self-efficacy, fear of fall; and Mann Whitney U test was used to associate the type of stroke, side of stroke, gender, and CR. A multiple linear regression was used to find which of the factors could predict the level of CR. Results and Discussion: Age (r=-0.33), physical function (r=0.78), trunk control (r=0.58), balance self-efficacy (r=0.66) and fear of fall (r=-0.61) revealed a significant correlation (p<0.001) with CR. However, regression analysis found physical function considered to be the strongest predictor (β=0.655, p<0.001) for CR followed by age and trunk control (R2=0.638). Conclusion: Stroke rehabilitation should focus on improving the impairments affecting the physical function in the subacute phase to enhance CR. Additionally, one should try to incorporate environmental modification for the older stroke subjects.","PeriodicalId":55870,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136003142","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}
