Effects of a 6-month exercise program pilot study on walking economy, peak physiological characteristics, and walking performance in patients with peripheral arterial disease Robert G Crowther1, Anthony S Leicht1, Warwick L Spinks1, Kunwarjit Sangla2, Frank Quigley2, Jonathan Golledge2,31Institute of Sport and Exercise Science, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia; 2Townsville Hospital, Townsville, Queensland, Australia; 3The Vascular Biology Unit, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, AustraliaAbstract : The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 6-month exercise program on submaximal walking economy in individuals with peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication (PAD-IC). Participants (n = 16) were randomly allocated to either a control PAD-IC group (CPAD-IC, n = 6) which received standard medical therapy, or a treatment PAD-IC group (TPAD-IC; n = 10) which took part in a supervised exercise program. During a graded treadmill test,

Subacromial pain is the most common problem among patients with shoulder complaints seeking primary care. The recommended treatment for these patients is primarily non-surgical with a focus on exercise treatment. If this treatment fails arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) followed by exercise treatment is recommended. Surgical treatment with ASD has increased substantially in Sweden in recent years even though studies comparing exercise treatment with surgery report equally positive results. Still, there is a need of evidence based preand postoperative exercise treatments, standardised and described in detail, to guide treatment of these patients in clinical practice.. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the efficacy of pre- and postoperative exercise strategies on shoulder function and how the preoperative strategy affects the need for surgery in patients with long-standing subacromial pain.. This thesis comprises four papers which are based on two randomised controlled ...

BACKGROUND: Adults in intensive care units (ICUs) often suffer from a lack of sleep or frequent sleep disruptions. Non-pharmacological interventions can improve the duration and quality of sleep and decrease the risk of sleep disturbance, delirium, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the length of stay in the ICU. However, there is no clear evidence of the effectiveness and harms of different non-pharmacological interventions for sleep promotion in adults admitted to the ICU. OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions for sleep promotion in critically ill adults in the ICU.To establish whether non-pharmacological interventions are safe and clinically effective in improving sleep quality and reducing length of ICU stay in critically ill adults.To establish whether non-pharmacological interventions are cost effective. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, 2014, Issue 6), MEDLINE (OVID, 1950 to June 2014), EMBASE ...

ExTraMATCH (Exercise Training Meta-Analysis of Trials in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure) (27) analyzed 9 datasets that included 801 systolic CHF patients and demonstrated a significant 35% reduction in mortality in trained patients versus controls during a mean follow-up of 705 days. A more recent Cochrane Review of 19 trials (3,647 participants) showed no difference in pooled mortality at ,1 year follow-up, but showed a nonsignificant trend toward lower mortality among trials with a follow-up ,1 year (28). A significant 28% reduction in hospitalization rate at 1 year was demonstrated with exercise.. An analysis of ,600,000 patients from the Medicare database addressed the effects of CR exercise training on mortality. Subgroup analyses of patients with CHF showed a 15% lower mortality in CHF patients who participated in CR compared with carefully matched CHF patients who did not participate (29)..

Background: Anxiety and depression are the most common complications after coronary artery bypass surgery. Although patients may gain some physical and psychological benefit from cardiac rehabilitation after cardiac surgery, but some individuals and social aspects may change the cardiac rehabilitation procedure. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of short-term cardiac rehabilitation on anxiety and depression in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery. Methods: In this quasi-experimental pretest - post test design study, all patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery in Razavi hospital in Mashhad (1392) were participated and for sampling, 70 patients allocated into experimental and control groups by non-randomly convenient method. Subjects in an experimental group received 4-week (10 sessions) cardiac rehabilitation program, while control group received only routine post discharge care. Data was collected using demographic form, social support questionnaire and the

Clinical guidelines recommend research on sub-groups of patients with low back pain (LBP) but, to date, only few studies have been published. One sub-group of LBP is movement control impairment (MCI) and clinical tests to identify this sub-group have been developed. Also, exercises appear to be beneficial for the management of chronic LBP (CLBP), but very little is known about the management of sub-acute LBP. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to compare the effects of general exercise versus specific movement control exercise (SMCE) on disability and function in patients with MCI within the recurrent sub-acute LBP group. Participants having a MCI attended five treatment sessions of either specific or general exercises. In both groups a short application of manual therapy was applied. The primary outcome was disability, assessed by the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). The measurements were taken at baseline, immediately after the three months intervention and at twelve-month

Introduction. Circuit Training Circuit training is a method of training. A circuit usually has 8 to 15 stations, where at each station a different exercise is carried out for a certain amount of time. Circuit training can improve muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, aerobic fitness, muscular strength, speed and agility. Specificity My circuit-training program is for running and it is based over a six-week period. The 10 stations are specifically suited to what is needed to run. My circuit is aimed to improve the following over a six-week period: muscular endurance, muscular strength, speed, agility, cardiovascular endurance, these are all needed for a runner. For example: � Muscular Endurance - To keep the muscles contracting for the full length of the race without getting out of breathe too easily. � Muscular Strength - the force your muscles exert. When a runner gets too tired, we always rely on our arms to keep us going as it acts as our pace setter. � Speed -This is maybe not ...

Discussion. This preliminary RCT investigated the routine feasibility and the clinical effects of the addition of a video-game assisted program to a standard exercise training program in patients with stable COPD in a very simple organizational context with limited available facilities. We found that the addition of this program using a Wii Fit balance board was feasible but in the given conditions did not add any benefits to and was more expensive than a standard exercise program.. Mazzoleni et al.18 showed, in a routine setting, significantly greater improvement in 6MWD and TDI in patients also undergoing a shorter (seven days) video-game assisted program compared with patients undergoing just a standard pulmonary rehabilitation program, without any other substantial additional benefit. Albores et al.25 assessed the effects of virtual game technology on 20 patients with COPD undergoing a home-based exercise program. That uncontrolled study25 concluded that 12 weeks of Wii exercise led to ...

Abstract: Thirty-two women students at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro participated in a study of the effect of two different exercise programs, one isometric and one stretching, on selected girth and skinfold thickness measurements. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups, both of which exercised daily for a four weeks period. All subjects were measured at the beginning and end of the study. Girth measurements were taken of the hips, waist, and right upper-arm. Skinfold thicknesses measured were triceps and subscapular. Using Fishers t test of significant difference between initial and final scores, the isometric exercise group showed a reduction of hip girth, upper arm girth and upper arm skinfold measurements significant at the five per cent level of confidence or better. There was no statistically significant difference in initial and final measurements of the waist girth and subscapular skinfold thickness.. The effect of two different exercise programs on ...

Aerobic Exercise Training May Not Offset the Pro-inflammatory Effects of a High Fat Feeding. Katie C. Carpenter, Lisa Esposito, Kelley A. Strohacker, Richard J. Simpson, Brian K. McFarlin. University of Houston, Houston, TX Increased adiposity is associated with an increase in systemic inflammation, which is involved in the pathophysiology of various disease states. A current hypothesis in our laboratory suggests that the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway may link physical activity and systemic inflammation. PURPOSE: The primary purpose was to determine if 6-weeks of aerobic exercise training (5 days per week, 1 hour per day. 21-22m/min) would limit the increase in systemic inflammation resulting from high-fat (60% of calories from fat) feeding. A secondary purpose was to determine if changes in cell-surface TLR4 expression would account for observed differences in inflammatory status between mice which exercise and those that remain sedentary. METHODS: 36 CD-1 male mice were randomly assigned to one

The following are the most common benefits of regular physical exercise:. Decrease Death Rate. As we all know, regular physical exercise keeps a person healthier than ever. The practice has healing power and can fight almost every problem in your body. It is therefore evident enough that a person will live longer if he has practically no illness. As per German Research Reports, doing regular exercise brings down the death rate of nearly 35%, and people can live up to 7 plus years. Is it not amazing?. Better Skin. You may have heard many people telling you that practicing yoga can make you look a lot younger than your actual age. The logical part of the whole saying is that any exercise helps you to sweat. Now while you are sweating, a lot of microbes and bacteria washes away from your skin, making it healthier. Also, physical activities help in improving blood circulation, making your skin glow more. Helps in Maintaining Body Postures and Balance. Exercising or working out helps to improve body ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a specifically tailored exercise plan to treat MCI versus a traditional general exercise plan for NSLBP.. 201 patients with lower back pain were recruited, and were then screened using a number of criteria including age and comorbidities, with 48 being excluded before baseline assessment. Following baseline assessment, a further 47 patients were excluded for various reasons.. The remaining 106 patients were then randomly allocated to either a general exercise (GE) group, which aimed to improve muscle strength of all relevant muscle groups in the lumbar and pelvic region, or a MCI specific exercise group which specifically addressed pain-provoking postures and control on impaired movements. The patients were allocated using block randomisation.. The primary outcome measure used was the Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), and the secondary outcomes were pain, as measured by the graded chronic pain scale (GCPS), and disability, ...

Objective Previous studies have shown that estrogen deficiency, arising in postmenopause, promotes endothelial dysfunction. This study evaluated the effects of aerobic exercise training on endothelial dependent vasodilation of aorta in ovariectomized rats, specifically investigating the role of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Methods Female Wistar rats ovariectomized (OVX - n=20) or with intact ovary (SHAM - n=20) remained sedentary (OVX and SHAM) or performed aerobic exercise training on a treadmill 5 times a week for a period of 8 weeks (OVX-TRA and SHAM-TRA). In the thoracic aorta the endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation was assessed by acetylcholine (ACh) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), respectively. Certain aortic rings were incubated with L-NAME to assess the NO modulation on the ACh-induced vasodilation. The fluorescence to dihydroethidium in aortic slices and plasma nitrite/nitrate concentrations were measured to evaluate ROS and NO bioavailability,

This page contains the article Manual Therapy and Exercise Therapy in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized, Controlled Trial With 1-Year Follow-Up http://www.chiro.org/Low_Back_Pain/Manual_Therapy_vs_Exercise_Therapy.shtml

Sixty-one randomized controlled trials (6390 participants) met inclusion criteria: acute (11), subacute (6) and chronic (43) low-back pain (1 unclear). Evidence was found of effectiveness in chronic populations relative to comparisons at all follow-up periods; pooled mean improvement was 7.3 points (95% CI, 3.7 to 10.9) for pain (out of 100), 2.5 points (1.0 to 3.9) for function (out of 100) at earliest follow-up. In studies investigating patients (i.e. presenting to healthcare providers) mean improvement was 13.3 points (5.5 to 21.1) for pain, 6.9 (2.2 to 11.7) for function, representing significantly greater improvement over studies where participants included those recruited from a general population (e.g. with advertisements). There is some evidence of effectiveness of graded-activity exercise program in subacute low-back pain in occupational settings, though the evidence for other types of exercise therapy in other populations is inconsistent. There was evidence of equal effectiveness ...

Exercise Therapy Exercise therapy refers to the implementation of exercise with a specific goal in mind. An exercise therapy program may be supervised or unsupervised. Supervised exercise is usually part of a physical rehabilitative program. Patients may be provided with simple exercises, which they can perform at home. Home exercises are often provided to help improve flexibility and restore the strength required to stabilize a joint region. Some exercises are provided to help reduce the risk for injury or re-injury. A spinal stabilization exercise program is often used to strengthen muscles around the spine to reduce excessive or abnormal joint and spinal region movement patterns. Physical Therapy Physical therapy often includes the application of modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat, cold and iontophoresis in an attempt to reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases a combination of these approaches may be used. Manual approaches such as joint mobilization or joint ...

By DeTurk, William E Scott, Lisa Benz ABSTRACT Purpose: Physical therapists have engaged in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for decades, but the extent of their current involvement in this practice area is unclear. This study surveyed directors of CR and PR programs on a statewide level to ascertain what type of provider is writing the prescription, which methods of exercise formulation are used, which outcome measures are used and their congruency with established guidelines. Methods: A convenience sample of outpatient CR and PR directors (n=31) representing 38 CR and/or PR programs located in New York completed a survey in spring 2005 (29 CR and 9 PR). Results: Results showed that only 2 physical therapists were responsible for writing exercise prescriptions in CR and PR programs. Most program directors were registered nurses (53%), who also wrote the majority of CR exercise prescriptions. Exercise intensity was most frequently determined using formulae and data ...

Exercise regimens are very essential in a fitness program. Pre-determining your exercise regimen will give you a good start with your workout. But there are things that you must do first before you finally sign yourself up in any kind of fitness program. These things will help you figure out if youre really up to it.. In setting up an exercise regimen, youll have to consider certain aspects of its design such as safeties, efficiency and effectiveness. The first thing you have to do is determine if youre fit or not. Your fitness level will determine what kind of fitness program is more appropriate for you. The routine of your workouts should be focusing not only to your strengths but also to your weaknesses.. If you have been accustomed to just sitting around all day or your body is not used to doing any kind of exercise at all doesnt mean your too weak. Being sedentary doesnt automatically mean youre not healthy enough to have one of those exercise regimens; you may need to consult a ...

The effects of a novel high intensity exercise intervention on established markers of cardiovascular disease and health in Scottish adolescent youth

The present study examined the effect of an acute bout of aerobic exercise on sustained attention and discrimination ability in children with LD. With the intensity of exercise confirmed via HR and RPE monitoring, the results demonstrated that a single session of aerobic exercise led to shortened reaction times and improved accuracy rates on the DUAF sustained attention test and the determination test, even as the LD and TD control groups, which did not undergo the exercise session, showed no such improvements. The results provided strong evidence of acute exercise on childrens performance in tasks requiring sustained attention or discriminatory ability, with a high ES (25% of variance explained; Cohen, 1988, p. 287). Also, compared with the TD children who participated in the exercise treatment, the children with LD participating in acute exercise demonstrated greater positive impact in the reaction times and accuracy rates. Our findings suggest that higher accuracy rate and fast reaction time ...

Only half of GPs are able to refer patients with depression to exercise schemes five years after guidance recommended exercise as a treatment in mild to moderate cases. A new report from the Mental Health Foundation says a number of factors are preventing patients getting exercise on prescription.. The report, Moving on up says clinical guidelines published in 2004 supported the use of exercise in some cases but research has shown just 49 per cent of GPs report that they have access to an exercise referral scheme. The Foundation says barriers to patients getting the treatment include funding constraints within local government and primary care trusts. There is also a lack of awareness of exercise schemes amongst GPs and other healthcare professionals. The charity says these barriers have to be overcome.. Its report finds that more than 8 out of ten GPs who do have access to an exercise referral scheme use it as a treatment for their patients. People with depression who have been referred to ...

This study compared effects of exercise-based interventions with usual care on functional decline, physical performance, and health-related quality of life (12-item Short-Form health survey) at 3 and 6 months after minor injuries, in older adults discharged from emergency departments. Participants were randomized either to the intervention or control groups. The interventions consisted of 12-week exercise programs available in their communities. Groups were compared on cumulative incidences of functional decline, physical performances, and 12-item Short-Form health survey scores at all time points. Functional decline incidences were: intervention, 4.8% versus control, 15.4% (p = .11) at 3 months, and 5.3% versus 17.0% (p = .06) at 6 months. While the control group remained stable, the intervention group improved in Five Times Sit-To-Stand Test (3.0 ± 4.5 s, p , .01). The 12-item Short-Form health survey role physical score improvement was twice as high following intervention compared with ...

All participants will receive a personalised programme of exercise during the pulmonary rehabilitation session and a home-based programme designed according to their individual needs. We expect that all patients will experience improvement in exercise capacity and breathlessness regardless of the group they belong to. If the intervention (HIIT) is successful, the active group is likely to experience additional benefits. All patients will benefit from the educational sessions that are part of the pulmonary rehabilitation programme. Another benefit for patients is that they will be able to express their views about their programme and care and will be encouraged to set goals to improve their quality of life. Again, this benefit is independent of the group the patients will belong to. There are no major anticipated risks from the programme and all assessments are non-invasive. Both groups, active and control, will receive the standard treatment (pulmonary rehabilitation). Both types of training ...

Methods. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial and was carried out over a period of 16 weeks from the beginning of March to the end of June 2015 at a primary care center. The study population were women from Granada (Spain) who were not engaged in regular physical exercise, but otherwise healthy and able to exercise, aged between about 45 to 60 years coinciding with the perimenopausal period. They were randomly assigned to either an exercise intervention group (N = 74) or to control group (N = 76). Both groups received four conferences in which general advice about the positive effects of a physical exercise program and of the Mediterranean diet were given. The exercise intervention was performed in four groups. The groups trained 3 days/week (60minutes/session) for a 16-week period at the primary care centre. Each exercise included a 10-minute warm-up period with walks and mobility exercises, followed by 40-minute of a main part which varied across week days. Sessions finished ...

One of the main barriers for getting to the gym is time. Sometimes, it can feel like you need 2 hours to fit in a really effective workout and feel accomplished. I used to feel the same way until I switched my major to Kinesiology and discovered circuit training. Circuit training is a set of 10-15 different exercises that utilize aerobic or resistance training or a combination of the two. A moderate intensity should be selected (40-60% 1RM for weight training or 40-60% VO2max or a 12-13 out of 20 on a 6-20 scale). Each exercise should only last 15 repetitions or 30 seconds. Typically you will rest for the same amount of time between sets as you do during your set (i.e. workout for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds). Your relief time could also include active recovery, such as walking, jogging, or other calisthenic activities. You would then continuously repeat this cycle for 2-4 sets. When you are done, you might even feel as if you got a 2-3 hour work out in in 30 minutes. This is good yes?? ...

Methods Forty patients with chronic low back pain randomly divided into two groups of 20 patients. 20 patients in the first group received low-energy laser + exercise treatment, other group received low-energy laser treatment alone.

The majority of current care for falls focuses on helping people who have already fallen instead of preventing them from falling. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using a mobile phone/tablet app to train balance among elderly participants and their acceptance, with the view to improving and maintaining good balance to prevent future falls. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using a phone application to deliver an exercise programme for balance training. This is in line with previous studies reporting feasibility of delivering home-based exercise programme through smartphone apps for promoting physical activity in older adults.14 15 20 Our participants were positive about the app and engaged well with the given exercise programme as shown by the high adherence recorded. Adherence is a major barrier to the effectiveness of prescribed exercise regimes29 and the ability to supersede this with the use of an app is powerful. A review indicated that adherence to ...

Optimum recovery from hip fracture has been linked to the provision of effective rehabilitation, but levels of adherence vary among older patients. In this feasibility study a novel personalized DVD was designed for four participants, which delivered a 5 week tailored home exercise program (HEP), with the participant being videoed completing their exercises. Treatment fidelity of the DVD HEP was evaluated, including participants perceptions of and response to the DVD-HEP, which was explored using diaries and interviews and analyzed thematically. Secondary outcome measures including exercise adherence and self-efficacy for exercise were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Levels of adherence to the HEP were 1.2-3.5 times more than the minimum prescribed dose and participants demonstrated higher levels of self-efficacy for exercise. Adherence was found to be enhanced by physical improvement, positive self-reflection about engagement in the DVD-HEP, the format of the DVD, and increased ...

Best practice management of lung transplantation recipients includes both pre- and post-transplantation rehabilitation programs. However, the impact of a specific exercise intervention on recovery and post-transplant outcomes has not been rigorously studied. This randomized controlled trial studied the impact of a 3-month supervised exercise training program in lung transplant recipients with an uncomplicated post-transplant course. The program was initiated immediately following discharge from hospital. Treatment group patients exercised three times weekly for three months post-discharge. The primary endpoint was daily walking time, with other markers of daily physical activity, fitness, quality of life, self-perceived health status, and incidence of comorbidities studied as secondary endpoints. Although a high percentage of eligible patients refused to participate (almost 40%), of the randomized patients, the exercise intervention group had improved functional status and reduced cardiovascular ...

3. Interval Training. Doing any exercise more intensely will bring quicker and more impactful results. Its no different with exercises to lose thigh fat. You can take any cardio exercise and ramp it up with interval training. Rather than exercising at moderate intensity throughout the session, youll vary the intensity between high and low every few minutes. This causes your heart rate to peak and metabolic rate to increase more than with slow, sustained exercise levels.. 4. Specific Exercises To Lose Thigh Fat. There are specific exercises that tone up your thigh muscles and are designed to help you shed those extra pounds of fat that have piled up around them. These exercises are not meant to burn calories. Instead, they strengthen the thigh muscles and make them lean and firmer. Most of these are isometric exercises that keep the muscle length constant but place a stress on them to increase strength.. a. Side thigh lifts are where you lie on your side and lift your leg up, then bring it ...

Non-specific low back pain is a symptom that can occur with unclear causes. The condition can cause muscle pain, muscle spasm and imbalance muscles, so the stability of lower abdominal and back muscles will be reduced. In addition, another negative impact of the condition is the range of motion of the lumbar joint will decrease significantly. The motor control exercise (MCE) is one of exercise methods that can improve stability and range of motion (ROM) of lumbar joint. The aim of study is to evaluate the effect of motor control exercise in improving range of motion of lumbar region in non-specific low back pain condition. This study used an experimental study with one-group pre and posttest design. Twenty patients with non-specific low back pain selected with purposive sampling, perform motor control exercises for 12 time treatments by Physiotherapist. The range of motion was measured with goniometer The result shows that 20 participants had a significant increase of the lumbar mobility after ...

Avantika Naidu, David Brown, Elliot Roth. Background: Body weight support treadmill training protocols in conjunction with other modalities are commonly used to improve poststroke balance and walking function. However, typical body weight support paradigms tend to use consistently stable balance conditions, often with handrail support and or manual assistance. Objective: In this paper, we describe our study protocol, which involved 2 unique body weight support treadmill training paradigms of similar training intensity that integrated dynamic balance challenges to help improve ambulatory function post stroke. The first paradigm emphasized walking without any handrails or manual assistance, that is, hands-free walking, and served as the control group, whereas the second paradigm incorporated practicing 9 essential challenging mobility skills, akin to environmental barriers encountered during community ambulation along with hands-free walking (ie hands-free + challenge walking). Methods: We ...

Background: The level of disability and endurance of back muscles have been investigated, but there is conflicting evidence following specific exercise interventions for participants with recurrent low back pain (LBP). The purpose of this study was to compare the level of disability and slope of median frequency (MF) of thoracic and lumbar erector spinae (ES) muscles following core stabilization exercise (CSE) and spinal flexibility exercise (SFE). Material/Methods: In total, 46 individuals participated in this study. There were 25 participants in the CSE intervention group (average age of 47.7±8.9 years) and 21 participants in the SFE group (average age of 53.1±9.0 years).

The effect of 6 months supervised exercise on very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoprotein B metabolism was investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes. Moderately obese patients (n = 18) were randomized into supervised (n = 9) and unsupervised (n = 9) exercise groups. All patients were given a training session and a personal exercise program and asked to exercise four times per week at 70% maximal oxygen uptake for 6 months. Patients in the supervised group had a weekly session with an exercise trainer. VLDL apolipoprotein (apo) B metabolism was measured with an infusion of 1-C-13 leucine ...

BACKGROUND: Poor sleep is prevalent in patients with systemic inflammatory disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, and, in addition to fatigue, pain, depression and inflammation, is associated with an increased risk of co-morbidity and all-cause mortality. Whereas non-pharmacological interventions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis have been shown to reduce pain and fatigue, no randomized controlled trials have examined the effect of non-pharmacological interventions on improvement of sleep in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy of an intermittent aerobic exercise intervention on sleep, assessed both objectively and subjectively in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS/DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial including 44 patients with rheumatoid arthritis randomly assigned to an exercise training intervention or to a control group. The intervention consists of 18 session intermittent aerobic exercise training on a bicycle ergometer ...

A recent study has demonstrated that a physical therapist directed exercise program did not result in greater reductions in disability and pain when compared to a home exercise program. However, no manual therapy procedures were incorporated into the physical therapy treatment program despite recent evidence suggesting that thrust and non-thrust manual therapy techniques may be beneficial in reducing disability, pain and improving gait. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a physical therapy management approach consisting of manual therapy and exercise to a home program of exercise only. The investigators hypothesize that the group receiving manual therapy and exercise will have better outcomes ...

Introduction Recent guidelines pertaining to exercise for individuals with osteoarthritis have been released. These guidelines have been based primarily on studies of knee-joint osteoarthritis. The current study was focused on the hip joint, which has different biomechanical features and risk factors for osteoarthritis and has received much less attention in the literature. The purpose was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the exercise programs used in intervention studies focused solely on hip-joint osteoarthritis, to decide whether their exercise regimens met the new guidelines, and to determine the level of support for exercise-therapy interventions in the management of hip-joint osteoarthritis. Methods A systematic literature search of 14 electronic databases was undertaken to identify interventions that used exercise therapy as a treatment modality for hip osteoarthritis. The quality of each article was critically appraised and graded according to standardized ...

Exercise Therapy Exercise therapy refers to the implementation of exercise with a specific goal in mind. An exercise therapy program may be supervised or unsupervised. Supervised exercise is usually part of a physical rehabilitative program. Patients may be provided with simple exercises, which they can perform at home. Home exercises are often provided to help improve flexibility and restore the strength required to stabilize a joint region. Some exercises are provided to help reduce the risk for injury or re-injury. A spinal stabilization exercise program is often used to strengthen muscles around the spine to reduce excessive or abnormal joint and spinal region movement patterns. Physical Therapy Physical therapy often includes the application of modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat, cold and iontophoresis in an attempt to reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases a combination of these approaches may be used. Manual approaches such as joint mobilization or joint ...

Incorporating laughter into a physical activity program could improve older adults mental health, aerobic endurance and confidence in their ability to exercise, a study has found.. In the study, older adults participated in a moderate-intensity group exercise program called LaughActive that incorporates playful simulated laughter - self-initiated as bodily exercise - into a strength, balance and flexibility workout. The findings showed that simulated laughter can be an ideal way for older adults with functional or cognitive impairment. Significant improvements were also found among participants in mental health, aerobic endurance and outcome expectations for exercise. Further, 96.2 per cent participants found laughter to be an enjoyable addition to a traditional exercise program, 88.9 per cent said laughter helped make exercise more accessible and 88.9 per cent reported the program enhanced their motivation to participate in other exercise classes or activities. The combination of laughter ...

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a common and distressing symptom of cancer and/or cancer treatment that persists for years after treatment completion in approximately one third of cancer survivors. Exercise is beneficial for the management of CRF, and general exercise guidelines for cancer survivors are available. There are multiple potential pathways by which exercise improves CRF, and cancer survivors with CRF are diverse with respect to cancer type, treatments and experienced side effects. While the general exercise guidelines are likely sufficient for most cancer survivors, tailoring of exercise interventions may be more effective in those with persistent fatigue. The primary aim of this research is to investigate the effect of a traditional vs. tailored exercise intervention on CRF severity in cancer survivors with persistent CRF. Cancer survivors (≥ 3 months and ≤ 5 years since primary treatment) who score ≤ 34 on the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F)

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of aerobic exercise training on neurocognitive performance. Although the effects of exercise on neurocognition have been the subject of several previous reviews and meta-analyses, they have been hampered by methodological shortcomings and are now outdated as a result of the recent publication of several large-scale, randomized, controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature review of RCTs examining the association between aerobic exercise training on neurocognitive performance between January 1966 and July 2009. Suitable studies were selected for inclusion according to the following criteria: randomized treatment allocation; mean age , or =18 years of age; duration of treatment ,1 month; incorporated aerobic exercise components; supervised exercise training; the presence of a nonaerobic-exercise control group; and sufficient information to derive effect size data. RESULTS: Twenty-nine studies met inclusion criteria and were included in ...

Background. No single intervention restores the coordinated components of gait after stroke. Objective. The authors tested the multimodal Gait Training Protocol, with or without functional electrical stimulation (FES), to improve volitional walking (without FES) in patients with persistent (|6 months) dyscoordinated gait. Methods. A total of 53 subjects were stratified and randomly allocated to either FES with intramuscular (IM) electrodes (FES-IM) or No-FES. Both groups received 1.5-hour training sessions 4 times a week for 12 weeks of coordination exercises, body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT), and over-ground walking, provided with FES-IM or No-FES. The primary outcome was the Gait Assessment and Intervention Tool (G.A.I.T.) of coordinated movement components, with secondary measures, including manual muscle testing, isolated leg movements (Fugl-Meyer scale), 6-Minute Walk Test, and Locomotion/Mobility subscale of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Results. No baseline

Mansueto Gomes-Neto, Jordana Moura Lopes, Cristiano Sena Conceição, Anderson Araujo, Alécio Brasileiro e, Camila Sousa, Vitor Oliveira Carvalho e Fabio Luciano Arcanjo.. 1. Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a multifactorial disorder with a high prevalence; most people experience back pain at some point in their life and it has a significant impact on individuals, their families, and the healthcare systems. This disorder causes disability, participation restriction, a career burden, the use of health-care resources, and a financial burden. In addition to medical treatment, musculoskeletal physiotherapy (exercise therapy and manual therapy) is the most common method of conservative intervention for LBP (Amit, Manish, & Taruna, 2013; Hoy, Brooks, Blyth, & Buchbinder, 2010; Smith et al., 2014). The European Guidelines for Management of Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain (Airaksinen et al., 2006) recommend supervised exercise therapy as the first-line treatment.

Walking interventions have been shown to have a positive impact on physical activity (PA) levels, health and wellbeing for adult and older adult populations. There has been very little work carried out to explore the effectiveness of walking interventions for adults with intellectual disabilities. This paper will provide details of the Walk Well intervention, designed for adults with intellectual disabilities, and a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test its effectiveness. This study will adopt a RCT design, with participants allocated to the walking intervention group or a waiting list control group. The intervention consists of three PA consultations (baseline, six weeks and 12 weeks) and an individualised 12 week walking programme. A range of measures will be completed by participants at baseline, post intervention (three months from baseline) and at follow up (three months post intervention and six months from baseline). All outcome measures will be collected by a researcher who will be blinded

Resistance exercise training can elicit metabolic benefits like improved insulin sensitivity with low to moderate intensity, low volume programs. This is key to engaging sedentary individuals who might be reluctant to participate in strenuous activity. These benefits begin to manifest themselves in a short period of time and these quick results can serve as a motivator to continue training. For the elderly, frail or overweight, resistance training programs are excellent as they provide less risk of sustaining injuries. Prior to beginning a resistance exercise program, diabetic patients should undergo a medical evaluation by their health care professional to ensure that they are safe to participate and that the activities in their programs can be performed correctly to maximize benefits and minimize risk of injury.[3]. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that resistance training should be integrated into the exercise programs for adults with Type II Diabetes and the following ...

This is the first prospective randomised controlled study of the effects of water-based exercise training in people with a primary diagnosis of COPD and secondary physical comorbidities. This study showed that water-based exercise training in people with COPD and physical comorbidities improved peak and endurance exercise capacity and the fatigue domain of the CRDQ significantly more than an equivalent land-based exercise training programme or a control group of no exercise training. Furthermore, water-based exercise training resulted in significant improvements in inspiratory muscle strength and the dyspnoea domain of the CRDQ compared to no exercise training.. Water-based exercise training was shown to be more effective in improving exercise capacity than land-based exercise training and no exercise training. The between-group differences for the ISWT and ESWT surpassed the minimum clinically important differences for both these tests in all group comparisons [25, 27]. However, there was no ...
