A Prospective Study

As part of a prospective study on the usability of activity trackers in geriatric traumatology, Laura Cerullo is investigating the extent to which digital motion feedback can be used for the population of geriatric trauma patients. Based on a literature review, she designed a feedback on movement data using a tablet PC. The feedback took place in a rhythm of four weeks over a period of up to one year. The evaluation of the feedback is carried out by a qualitative content analysis of observation protocols as well as guideline-based interviews. The author concludes that the motion feedback could be used as a motivating element in the rehabilitation process.

Meta Analyses

Introduction: Children with cerebral palsy present with diverse mobility abnormalities which are classified at the levels of structure and function and activity according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The authors of most studies on independent mobility in children with cerebral palsy have focused on gait abnormalities. The aim of this literature review was to analyse the running ability in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement. A search of the PubMed database was performed using the terms “cerebral palsy” and “running.” Results: Children with cerebral palsy run at a lower speed compared to their healthy peers. They have a shorter stride length. The power generated by various muscle groups is different from that observed in typically developing children. This results in different kinematics and hence lower quality of running. Implementation of training focused on running as part of the rehabilitation process in children with cerebral palsy may bring positive results. Discussion: The ability of running is important not only to move quickly but also to participate in the activities of daily living performed by typically developing children. Because of that, it is advisable to incorporate elements of running training into the rehabilitation process in children with cerebral palsy, whenever possible.

This study aimed to identify the biopsychosocial factors that influence the rehabilitation of burn victims, through an integrative literature review, from January 1987 to January 2007. Articles were searched in databases Scielo, Pubmed and Lilacs, resulting in 982 articles, of which 45 were selected, after the analysis and categorization processes. Most studies were descriptive and qualitative. The most frequently associated factors to the rehabilitation process were: mental health state before the accident, coping strategies and family support, besides the severity of the burn and the total body surface area burned. The quality of the selected studies, most classified as evidence level VI, shows the scarce production of strong evidences in this knowledge area, which needs more investment, considering the important implications of the sequelae of burns in the social reintegration of these people.

Background:Participation in sport and exercise training, while aiding in the reintegration and confidence building of wounded service personnel, also has potential to prepare them for elite sport competition. It is this encouragement of the war injured to use sport and recreational physical activity as a means of rehabilitation back into civilian life, which has become the worldwide phenomenon of Paralympic sport.Objectives:This paper evaluates existing research relating to the incidence of types of war injuries and the use of sport within the rehabilitation process.Study Design:Literature review.Methods:Initial searches were conducted in the electronic databases EBSCOHost, ScienceDirect and Pubmed using the keywords ‘veterans’ and ‘sport’ or ‘physical activity’. These searches were then supplemented by tracking all key references from the appropriate articles identified. A narrative literature review methodology was employed.Results:Although it is clear from the reported literature that further development of available rehabilitation services is necessary to provide the required level of care for the types of mental and physical injuries and the concept of ‘therapeutic recreation’ is becoming popular, there is still a need for the development of specific protocols to identify individuals who can participate and excel in a specific sport at an elite level.Conclusions:Drawing on the US military experience it can be argued that sport in the UK and other parts of the world should be more widely recognized as a component of rehabilitation. This is not just for the role that sport can play as a tool for rehabilitation but also for the intrinsic and extrinsic benefits that participation in elite sport can offer.Clinical relevanceBased on the findings, a clear protocol for the inclusion of elite sport training within rehabilitation process should be implemented. This protocol development and implementation should encompass a team of multidisciplinary rehabilitation professionals including rehabilitation medicine specialists, bioengineers, prosthetists, orthotists and physiotherapists along with sports and exercise scientists and Paralympic administrators.

Adaptive Process

Introduction: The correct breathing process is through thenasal route, since it provides that the air during aspiration isfiltered, humidified and heated, thus conditioning the lungsfor gas exchange to occur. Allergic processes or other formsof affections can lead to the obstruction of the passage of airthrough the nose, leading the body to make an alternativeadaptation for the passage of air to occur through the mouth.A person who uses the mouth to breathe is called a mouthbreather. Once this adaptive process occurs, as a way tocompensate for this alternative airway, the body promotesa series of alterations in several segments of the body, such aschanges in the postural, respiratory, behavioral and stomatognathicsystems. Several techniques are used to treat themusculoskeletal dysfunctions presented by mouth breathers.Objective: to analyze how physiotherapy can contribute tothe improvement of the quality of life of mouth breathingchildren and to find out which are the most effective treatments.Methods: a search of data in the literature was carriedout by consulting the following electronic databases: Scielo,Bireme, Pub Med, Lilacs Google Scholar, as well as specializedbooks in the field. We excluded articles published before theyear 2000. Result: Among the analyzed articles, we perceivethat the treatment of mouth breathers occurs in a multidisciplinaryway, since it presents changes that encompassseveral body and systemic segments. Among the professionalsinvolved in the rehabilitation process, we highlight therole of physiotherapists. Conclusion: the physiotherapist isqualified to intervene in this pathology, with expertise inevaluation and establishment of the best treatment program,with physiotherapeutic conduits, allowing an improvementin respiratory patterns.Keywords: Mouth breathing children; Physiotherapy; Posturalevaluation; Treatment.

Purpose The aim of this study was to develop a tool to gain insight into the daily experiences of new hearing aid users and to shed light on aspects of aided performance that may not be unveiled through standard questionnaires. Method The tool is developed based on clinical observations, patient experiences, expert involvement, and existing validated hearing rehabilitation questionnaires. Results An online tool for collecting data related to hearing aid use was developed. The tool is based on 453 prefabricated sentences representing experiences within 13 categories related to hearing aid use. Conclusions The tool has the potential to reflect a wide range of individual experiences with hearing aid use, including auditory and nonauditory aspects. These experiences may hold important knowledge for both the patient and the professional in the hearing rehabilitation process.

And Training

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.
