Physical therapy enhances physical and functional abilities in a female patient with gliomatosis cerebri.

Gliomatosis cerebri is a low incidence diffuse glial tumor that affects three or more brain lobes. The survival rate is < 5 years in 20% of the patients. Although chemotherapy seems to improve life expectancy, to date no interventions have been described that help improve the quality of life of these patients.

[Impact of a cardiac rehabilitation program on adherence to the mediterranean diet and physical activity in acute coronary syndrome].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) in improving adherence to non-pharmacological secondary prevention in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Method: Retrospective study of patients with ACS referred to CRP in a tertiary hospital from 2018 to 2021. Pre-post differences in adherence to physical activity, Mediterranean diet, smoking, and motivation to change were analyzed.

Efficacy of a cardiac rehabilitation program in a municipal sports center compared to the hospital program: randomized controlled trial eCARCEX.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the effects of an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program in a municipal sports center on functional capacity and adherence to physical exercise - among other variables - compared to an in-hospital program.

Methods: Randomized clinical trial that included two parallel groups of acute coronary syndrome patients who performed a cardiac rehabilitation program that consisted of moderate physical exercise intervals along with learning healthy habits in a municipal sports center (experimental group) and in a tertiary hospital (control group) between September 2019 and June 2020. We collected the following data: compliance, anthropometrical, clinical, psychological variables, diet and tobacco habits, strength and functional capacity from ergospirometry.

[Systematic review on the effectiveness of cognitive multisensory rehabilitation].

Cognitive multisensory rehabilitation (CMR) -a therapeutic approach to help recover movement using neurocognitive exercises- activates patient's perceptive and cognitive processes, key for motor learning. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of CMR on motor function and quality of life and compare the findings with other rehabilitation approaches or no-intervention in neurological and trauma adult and pediatric patients. We carried out a systematic review of randomized controlled clinical trials, pilot studies, and case series in PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, and the CINHAL Complete database published between 2012 and 2021.
