High cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) results in complete loss of upper-limb function, resulting in debilitating tetraplegia and permanent disability. Spontaneous motor recovery occurs to varying deg...
A prospective cohort of high cervical SCI (C1-4) patients with American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade A-D injury and enrolled in the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems Database ...
Between 1992 and 2016, 405 high cervical SCI patients were included. At baseline, 97% of patients had impaired upper-limb function with total dependence in eating, bladder management, and transfers. A...
After high cervical SCI, patients who gained elbow extension (C7) and finger flexion (C8) had significantly greater independence in feeding, bladder management, and transfers than those with recovery ...
Rehabilitation medicine is facing a new development phase thanks to a recent wave of rigorous clinical trials aimed at improving the scientific evidence of protocols. This phenomenon, combined with ne...
We conducted a comprehensive search of five electronic databases using the Patient, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome (PICO) format. We extracted health conditions, population characteristics, outc...
A total of 19 primary studies were included. The predictors most frequently used belonged to the areas of demographic characteristics and stroke assessment through clinical examination. Regarding the ...
We identified several methodological limitations: small sample sizes, a limited number of external validation approaches, and high heterogeneity among input and output variables. Although these elemen...
The use of Impella support is increasingly adopted to "protect" patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricle (LV) dysfunction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
To evaluate the impact of Impella-protected (Abiomed, Danvers, Massachusetts, USA) PCIs on myocardial function recovery....
Patients with significant LV dysfunction undergoing multi-vessel PCIs with pre-intervention Impella implantation were evaluated by echocardiography before PCI and at median follow up of 6 months: glob...
A total of 48 high surgical risk (mean EuroSCORE II 8) patients with median LVEF value of 30%, extensive wall motion abnormalities (median WMSI 2.16), and severe multi-vessel CAD (mean SYNTAX score 35...
In patients with extensive CAD and severe LV dysfunction, multi-vessel Impella-protected PCI was associated to an appreciable contractile recovery, mainly determined by regional wall motion improvemen...
Functional recovery as a consumer-centered approach is critical to recovery for community-dwelling people with schizophrenia. The current study investigated the mediating role of positive thinking in ...
To observe the effect of strength training of the nonhemiplegic side (NHS) on balance function, mobility, and muscle strength of patients with stroke....

A tertiary hospital rehabilitation center....
139 patients with first stroke (N=139) were recruited and randomly separated into a trial (n=69) or control group (n=70)....
The control group underwent usual rehabilitation training, including step training and trunk control training in standing position. The trial group underwent strength training of NHS on the basis of u...
Balance evaluation was done with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS); mobility assessment with the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT); activities of daily life was examined via the modified Barthel Index (MBI); musc...
The trial group performed better than control group in BBS scores (adjusted mean difference: 6.83; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.71-8.94) and 6-MWT (adjusted mean difference: 50.32; 95% CI: 40.58-60...
Strength training of the NHS can promote recovery of balance, mobility, and muscle strength of the paretic side of patients with stroke....
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common disease based on degenerative pathological changes. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for end-stage of KOA. However, only volume adaptation ...
From October 2015 to June 2019, patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA were enrolled in this prospective cohort study with the same brand of knee prostheses. General data were collected from pa...
In total, 210 patients were eventually included in observation. All patients underwent postoperative follow-up for no less than two years. Multiple regression analysis showed that the course of the di...
All Patients underwent TKA had varying degrees of increased knee weight. The increased weight was 298.98 ± 63.77 g. Patients' body weight, K-L staging, and disease duration are important factors that ...
Robot technology to support upper limb (UL) rehabilitation poststroke has rapidly developed over the past 3 decades. We aimed to assess the effects of UL-robots (UL-RTs) on recovery of UL motor functi...
