Evaluation of a digital patient education programme in patients with coronary artery disease, a survey-based study

IntroductionPatient education programmes focusing on risk factor modification and lifestyle changes are well established as part of cardiac rehabilitation in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). As participation rates are low, digital patient education programmes (DPE) are interesting alternatives to increase access. Understanding patients’ perceptions of DPE are important in terms of successful implementation in clinical practice but are not well known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess patients’ perceptions of using a DPE in terms of end-user acceptance and usability, perceived significance for lifestyle changes and secondary preventive goal fulfilment in patients with CAD.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional survey-based study. The survey was distributed to all 1625 patients with acute coronary syndrome or chronic CAD with revascularisation, who were registered users of the DPE between 2020 and 2022 as part of cardiac rehabilitation. The survey contained 64 questions about e.g., acceptance and usability, perceived significance for making lifestyle changes and secondary preventive goal fulfilment. Patients who had never logged in to the DPE received questions about their reasons for not logging in. Data were analysed descriptively.ResultsA total of 366 patients (mean age: 69.1 ± 11.3 years, 20% female) completed the survey and among those 207 patients (57%) had used the DPE. Patients reported that the DPE was simple to use (80%) and improved access to healthcare (67–75%). A total of 69% of the patients were generally satisfied with the DPE, > 60% reported that the DPE increased their knowledge about secondary preventive treatment goals and approximately 60% reported having a healthy lifestyle today. On the other hand, 35% of the patients would have preferred a hospital-based education programme. Among the 159 patients (43%) who had never used the DPE, the most reported reason was a perceived need for more information about how to use the DPE (52%).ConclusionsThis study shows an overall high level of patient acceptance and usability of the DPE, which supports its continued development and long-term role in cardiac rehabilitation in patients with CAD. Future studies should assess associations between participation in the DPE and clinical outcomes, such as secondary preventive goal fulfilment and hospitalisation.

Sports injuries of the knee joint. Prevention and rehabilitation

Knee joint injuries are the most common in lower limb injuries and pose the greatest challenge in terms of rehabilitation because of their highly variable specificity, usually related to sporting activities or domestic conditions of injury. The absence of adequate gradual rehabilitation, taking into account potential deviations in the functioning of the damaged joint, will not give a positive result. Thus, there is a need to develop an individual methodology and scheme for further training for each athlete, since too early and insufficient loads can lead to negative consequences in the form of synovitis and increasing pain in the joint. At the same time, insufficient loads greatly increase the rehabilitation time. The inclusion of the latest research in combination with current clinical data ensures the development and implementation of strategies for patient management, improvement of the quality of diagnosis and treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with sports injuries.

Application of Range of Motion Exercises to Increase Muscle Strength in Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients

Stroke is a disruption of blood flow in the brain, patients who suffer from weakness in the limbs can cause a decrease in muscle strength, so they cannot move their body. Solutions to prevent and reduce disability, complications and death after having a stroke. Rehabilitation in stroke patients one of them is by doing Range of Motion exercises. Objective: This study was to analyze the application of ROM exercise to increase muscle strength in ischemic stroke patients. Design: This study used quasi-experimental with Pre-Test and Post-Test approaches with a sample of 15 people using Purposive Sampling techniques. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Match Pairs test. The data collected consisted of respondents' characteristics in the form of age, gender, history of stroke and muscle strength. The instrument used is an observation sheet and muscle strength measurement, MMT (Manual Muscle Testing). Results: Showed that there was an increase in muscle strength after (post-test) intervening with an average value of 4,13, while muscle strength up to condition 5 (normal) after implementing as many as 7 people (40,67%).

Illusory movements for immobile patients with extensive burns (IMMOBILE): A randomized, controlled, cross-over trial

IntroductionPatients who have sustained extensive burns frequently exhibit substantial damage to skeletal muscle and associated complications. The rehabilitation of these patients can be challenging due to the nature of the injury and the subsequent complications. Nevertheless, there is a possibility that functional proprioceptive stimulation (illusory movements) may facilitate effective rehabilitation in patients with limited physiotherapy options. Nevertheless, this approach has yet to be tested in patients with burn injuries. Material and methodologyA prospective, randomised, crossover trial was conducted at a burn centre in a tertiary teaching hospital. The objective was to assess the effects of illusory movements on energy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and skeletal muscle biology in adult critically ill patients with deep burns covering 30 % or more of the total body surface area. Two 30-minute daily sessions of functional proprioceptive stimulation were administered in addition to the standard physical therapy or physical activity regimen. Subsequently, the patients proceeded to the next stage of the trial, which involved a two-week crossover period. Measurements and main resultsDaily indirect calorimetry and calculation of nitrogen balance. Skeletal muscle biopsies from vastus lateralis for high resolution respirometry and euglycemic clamps to assess whole body glucose disposal were performed three times: at baseline and then fortnightly after each intervention period. The intervention was feasible and well tolerated in both early and late stages of burn disease. It did not change energy expenditure (mean change −33 [95 % CI: −292;+227] kcal .24 h−1, p = 0.79), nitrogen balance (+2.0 [95 % CI: −3.1;+7.1] g N .1.73 m−2 BSA .24 h−1), or insulin sensitivity (mean change of insulin-mediated glucose disposal −0.33 [95 % CI: −1.18;+0.53] mmol.h−1). At the cellular level, the intervention increased the capacity of mitochondria to synthesize ATP by aerobic phosphorylation and tended to increase mitochondrial coupling. Functional capacities of fatty acid oxidation and electron transfer chain complexes I, II, and IV were unaffected. ConclusionsCompared to physical therapy alone, two daily sessions of functional proprioceptive stimulation in addition to usual physical therapy in patients with extensive burns did not change energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity, nitrogen balance, or energy substrate oxidation. At cellular level, the intervention improved the capacity of aerobic phosphorylation in skeletal muscle mitochondria. Clinical effects remain to be demonstrated in adequately powered trials.

Технологии виртуальной реальности в терапии постинсультных эмоциональных расстройств

AIM. To evaluate psychoemotional status and the influence of affective, motivational and asthenic disorders on the efficiency of rehabilitation using virtual reality technologies in patients in the acute period of ischemic stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS. 160 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke were examined. Depending on the volume of therapy, the patients were divided into two groups: the 1-st group – 80 patients who received therapy using virtual reality (VR) technologies in addition to basic therapy and standard methods of early rehabilitation; the 2-nd group – 80 patients who received only basic therapy and standard methods of early rehabilitation. Neuropsychological testing was performed on the 4-th day of hospitalisation using scales to assess cognitive function, apathy, aggression, asthenia, depression, and anxiety. From the 5-th day of hospitalisation, patients in the 1-st group underwent VR-therapy for 10 days with evaluation of the dynamics of the main psychoemotional parameters and their impact on the effectiveness of rehabilitation (Δ RE). RESULTS AND DICUSSION. All patients had subclinical depression, clinically expressed anxiety, moderate levels of physical, mental, general asthenia, apathy and physical aggression with prevalence of physical asthenia and the combination of depression/physical aggression in the 1-st group of patients. The greatest comorbidity was found with respect to depression, physical asthenia, anxiety and physical aggression scores. Significant improvement was demonstrated with respect to all indicators except the level of apathy and mental asthenia in both groups and general asthenia in the 2-nd group after therapy. A more significant regression was found with regard to anxiety, general aggression, mental and physical asthenia in the 1-st group of patients. The negative correlation of Δ RE with the level of apathy and the combination of apathy/depression indicated a negative impact of these disorders on the effectiveness of VR - rehabilitation. Positive correlations of Δ RE with the parameters of physical aggression and the combination of anxiety/physical aggression show the expediency of VR-therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with a high level of these emotional disorders. CONCLUSION. The positive effect of VR-intervention on the regression of anxiety, asthenic and aggressive post-stroke disorders determines the prospect of introducing this method into the program of early rehabilitation of patients with ischemic stroke.

Transfemoral amputation due to uncontrollable infections after implantation of a total knee endoprosthesis

In the evaluation of an internal analysis of data on the increased effort for nursing during rehabilitation of patients with amputations in the Baumrainklinik of the HELIOS Rehabilitation Center Bad Berleberg, the number of patients with transfemoral amputations (TFA) due to uncontrollable multiple infections after implantation of a total knee endoprosthesis (total knee arthroplasty, TKA) was clearly emphasized. This article discusses the results of a retrospective, patient-controlled trial (PCT) and compares these with the data of the German Endoprosthesis Registry (EPRD). The study concentrated on patients who were admitted to rehabilitation after a TFA due to an uncontrollable infection after implantation of a knee TKA. The primary aims were the identification of patients who developed an uncontrollable infection after TKA with subsequent TFA and the comparison with national and international revision and amputation rates after TKA. An analysis of the medical history questionnaire was carried out for all 787 patients with amputation of the lower extremities who underwent rehabilitation in the time period from 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2015. The patient records were systematically analyzed based on the standardized documentation methods of the medical and nursing personnel using the Barthel index, the activity/function classes, phantom pain and length of stay, including demography, infection history and insurance company. The analysis showed that 10 patients, 2.29% of all TFA, suffered the loss of a lower extremity due to an uncontrollable TKA infection. The revision rate 3 years after primary TKA in Germany is 3.0% (EPRD annual report 2023), whereas values of 1-4% are given in the international literature (status 2020). In the patient group of the EPRD, in 2022 revision surgery was necessary due to an infection in 15.0% of the cases. The current statistics of the EPRD (annual report 2023) show that 3 years after the initial revision surgery due to an infected TKA another revision was necessary in 23.5-30% of cases. These numbers are alarming and should be critically evaluated and monitored. The future aim is to identify the causes of infections, systematic errors in the TKA and the pathogens that lead to infections after TKA and to correlate the associations.

Nursing Care For Patients With Stroke Victims: An Integrative Review

The study aims to analyze the nursing care offered to patients who have suffered a stroke; identify the main risk factors and forms of prevention; describe the main conducts adopted by the nursing team to patients suffering from a stroke. As a method, it is characterized as an integrative literature review study. The search was carried out during the months of July and August 2024, in the databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Online System (Medline), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences ( Lilacs ), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Nursing Database (BDENF), National Library of Medicine (NLM/ PubMed ) and ScienceDirect . Using the combination of descriptors contained in the Health Sciences Descriptors ( DeCS ), the following descriptors were used in English, Portuguese and Spanish: “Stroke Vascular Accident” AND “Nursing Care” AND “Cerebrovascular Accident” in conjunction with the Boolean operator OR. Ten articles were selected. As a result, three categories were highlighted according to thematic similarity: Stroke (CVA) and risk factors; nursing care offered to patients who are victims of Stroke and the conduct adopted by the nursing team in the care of patients with Stroke. Finally, it is of great relevance to highlight the assistance to patients affected by Stroke, thus emphasizing that the nursing area is composed of professionals dedicated to offering assistance and care that aim at both the prevention of the disease, treatment, cure, and the rehabilitation of patients, providing quality assistance, applying conducts based on scientific knowledge

Physical activity and exercise in chronic kidney disease: consensus statements from the Physical Exercise Working Group of the Italian Society of Nephrology

The Italian Society of Nephrology has tasked its Working Group on Physical Exercise with developing a consensus statement document on physical activity and exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This paper consists of 16 points that were discussed, and approved using the mini-Delphi method by 15 members of the working group. Each statement is based on a comprehensive review of the literature, clinical experience, and expert opinions. Overall, the statements affirm that regular physical activity and exercise training offer numerous benefits to CKD patients, including improved physical function, enhanced cardiometabolic and neuromuscular function, cognitive benefits, and an overall improvement in quality of life. Furthermore, exercise may provide nephroprotection and reduce mortality. These advantages are observed across all CKD stages, whether on conservative therapy or kidney replacement therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), and in kidney transplant recipients. Moreover, when physical activity and exercise training are implemented with appropriate precautions, they are safe in CKD patients. Gradual physical activity and customized exercise programs should be tailored to the patient's exercise tolerance, potentially enhancing compliance. Clinicians are encouraged to use a series of questionnaires and tests to assess the patient's level of physical activity and performance. However, exercise and physical activity are poorly implemented in clinical practice due to many barriers related to patients and healthcare staff. Overcoming these barriers requires the proactive role of the nephrologists, who should actively incorporate exercise training and promote physical activity within routine care plans. Adopting a multidisciplinary team approach, which includes nephrologists, nurses, exercise professionals, and dietitians, is crucial for providing comprehensive rehabilitation for CKD patients. Integrating new technologies and remote check ups could further enhance the effectiveness of these interventions.Graphical abstract

Forced oscillation control with a wearable reaction wheel to assist human periodic arm swing

Rehabilitation for stroke patients includes periodic arm exercises, but these require assistance by caregivers at the start of the exercise, which is a burden for caregivers. In this study, we have developed a system with three reaction wheel mechanisms, which can generate not only moments in each direction but also a larger moment than the output of a single axis by interlocking the axes. In addition, by using forced oscillation control, it is possible to assist the movement of the wearer's periodic arm swing even if the weight and output moment of the reaction wheel is not large. Although a large torque of 2.65 Nm is required for the system to swing the arm, it was confirmed that the developed device can be used to increase the amplitude of arm oscillation and achieve an oscillation frequency equivalent to that of a human arm swing, even with a single reaction wheel exerting a torque of 0.4 Nm.

Conclusion: The majority of the participants were aware of digital technology, which yields good results.Overall, while the current level of awareness and knowledge among dental postgraduate students is commendable, there is a clear need for enhancements in training, resources, and curriculum to fully prepare future dental professionals in the field of maxillofacial prosthetics

Clinicians’ Attitudes, Perspectives, and Clinical Practices on Gait Retraining After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Introduction: It has been shown that 45%–85% of patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) will have early-onset arthritis within 10–12 years following surgery. Over the past two decades, the amount of literature regarding ACLR, gait maladaptations after ACLR and their potential link to early-onset arthritis, and rehabilitation techniques has grown exponentially; however, long-term patient outcomes remain modest. Methods: To evaluate current clinicians’ attitudes, perspectives, and clinical practice approach for rehabilitation of patients following ACLR, a survey questionnaire was designed using the Delphi technique. Results: Of the 263 respondents, 84.4% (n = 226) reported that they believed gait training to be “Very” or “Extremely Important.” However, only 35.7% (n = 94) reported objectively measuring gait during ACLR rehabilitation. Of the total respondents, only 6.8% (n = 18) assessed gait during rehabilitation using two-dimensional or three-dimensional motion capture technologies. Discussion: Our results suggest that while gait evaluation was perceived as important, most respondents did not objectively measure gait metrics as a clinical outcome during ACLR rehabilitation. These findings provide a prospective rehabilitation target to potentially mitigate a known risk factor of early-onset arthritis (gait maladaptations) in individuals following ACLR.

A clinical protocol for the diagnosis of delirium after stroke in the post-acute setting: The “post-acute stroke delirium assessment” study

Post-stroke delirium (PSD) is an important complication to identify in the inpatient rehabilitation setting due to its negative impact on rehabilitation outcomes. Delirium diagnosis is challenging and is rendered more so in the presence of post-stroke language and cognitive impairments. As delirium is a clinical diagnosis, the majority of PSD studies use a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)–based “expert clinical diagnosis” as the reference standard. However, a diagnostic protocol is rarely defined, which undermines transparency, interrater reliability, and reproducibility in delirium research. This report describes the clinical diagnostic protocol for the “Post-Acute Stroke Delirium Assessment” study, a quality improvement initiative to be conducted in adult stroke rehabilitation inpatients at a tertiary academic hospital. The main study goals are to explore how delirium features present in this patient group and to use this information to create a new screening tool specific for PSD in inpatient rehabilitation. This protocol evaluates 16 delirium features, including those encompassed by the DSM, fifth edition, text revision as well as other features absent from the DSM, and delineates how to determine whether each feature is “present, absent, or unable to assess.” This protocol may also be valuable in informing delirium diagnosis in other patient groups with or without neurological deficits.

Audiophonologopedic Telerehabilitation: Advantages and Disadvantages from User Perspectives.

Technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the importance of digital tools for patient care and rehabilitation. This study explores user perspectives on telerehabilitation, comparing it to traditional methods and identifying criteria for determining its suitability for different patients and clinical conditions. This study was carried out during the period of May-September 2021. Questionnaires were administered to 48 users in rehabilitation for audiophonologopedic and neurodevelopmental disorders in three rehabilitation centres in central Italy. The user responses predominantly emphasize the benefits of time saving (68.75%) and cost-efficiency (37.5%), specifically regarding time saving due to travel and expenses incurred to go to where the therapy is carried out. The disadvantages include increased distraction (60.42%) in following the instructions remotely and logistic problems (39.58%). Patients with hearing loss were subjected to a larger number of telerehabilitation sessions, positively rating this alternative method. Patients with speech and language delay and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prefer traditional treatment. This study reveals a favourable perception of telerehabilitation as a therapy approach to be regarded as a supplement or temporary option to the irreplaceable face-to-face one. More research, as well as a larger sample sizes, will be useful to increase the significance of the correlations reported in this study.

Impairment of Multi-Finger Force Control in Adult Patients with Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of cerebral palsy (CP) on motor control strategies, with a focus on understanding the altered capability of multi-finger force control in adult patients with dyskinetic CP.METHODS: Eight adults with dyskinetic CP and ten age- and sex-matched healthy controls participated in this study. The participants performed three force production tasks using four fingers of the dominant hand under isometric conditions: maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) to assess maximum force production, a ramp task to evaluate finger interdependency (enslaving), and a pulse task to examine the ability to rapidly and precisely adjust force. The co-contraction index (CCI) of finger flexor and extensor was also determined during steady state and pulse force production.RESULTS: Patients with dyskinetic CP demonstrated significant impairments in finger force control compared to healthy controls. Specifically, the accuracy and consistency of force production were reduced in the CP group, and they exhibited a longer time to peak pulse force. The CP group also showed increased finger interdependency and elevated CCI during pulse force production, suggesting a greater reliance on co-contraction and less efficient motor control strategies.CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the distinct motor control deficits in individuals with dyskinetic CP, particularly in tasks requiring rapid and precise finger force adjustment. These results have important implications for the functional rehabilitation of patients with CP. Therapies aimed at reducing excessive co-contraction and decreasing finger interdependency may be beneficial for improving muscle coordination and overall motor function.

Interprofessional heart failure education for self-care knowledge and medication adherence in cardiac rehabilitation patients: A short report

Heart failure (HF), a costly and often deadly syndrome, is associated with hindered cardiac functioning. Suboptimal HF disease knowledge and related poor self-care practices result in worsening heart failure, increased rehospitalizations, decreased quality of life, and potential death. Provision of interprofessional education is essential to encourage disease understanding and reliable adoption of appropriate self-care behaviors. This short report describes the timely implementation of an evidence-based practice educational project (EBP) designed to augment heart failure knowledge and vital self-care management strategies, among phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients. Individual sessions led by interprofessionals included nursing, advanced nursing, nutrition, information technology, and exercise physiology clinicians. Post-intervention results suggest collaborative interprofessional patient education effectively enhanced knowledge (19.1 % increase) about overall heart failure and specifically improved medication adherence rates (5.4 % increase). Efficient and effective interprofessional self-care-focused education should become routine practice in phase II CR patients to address complex care challenges, decrease costs and improve overall outcomes.

Exploring physiotherapy strategies in arthrogenic muscle inhibition: A scoping review

Arthrogenic muscular inhibition (AMI) is the presynaptic continual reflex inhibition of the surrounding muscles. It is a defensive reaction that lowers motor neuron activity to prevent further damage; however, if it persists, it can cause muscle atrophy and weakness, which can cause functional limitations. It usually involves quadriceps muscle post knee injuries and surgeries. Though it can be appreciated at any joint post injury or surgery like shoulder , elbow and ankle. Recent studies shows that post injury or surgery, tissues respond by reflex inhibition mechanism and is unnoticed by many therapists. The aim of this review is to analyse the various approaches available in the physiotherapy rehabilitation for treating AMI of any joint and to know the best treatment approach to be used for optimising the effects of AMI. Total of 37 articles were considered to identify the different outcomes and interventions used in treating AMI. In conclusion, Effective physiotherapy interventions are necessary to address AMI and enhance joint function and muscle activation. NMES, cryotherapy, and certain strengthening exercises are a few examples of interventions that can help get past the neural inhibition limiting muscle activation surrounding an injured joint. The implementation of early physiotherapy interventions is essential for preventing muscle atrophy and regaining normal movement patterns. In order to advance patient rehabilitation and maximize healing and functional outcomes, a customized protocol with particular demands is required.
