The effectiveness of nontraditional or home-based programing on ADL performance of individuals living with multiple sclerosis: A systematic review.

Purpose: To examine evidence-based nontraditional and home-based interventions and their efficacy for use in individuals with MS to improve performance in their daily activities.

Materials And Methods: A search of five databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, OT Seeker, and Ovid Medline produced 924 research articles. Thirty-two articles were selected for full-text review, of which 15 were included in this systematic review.

Lateral epicondylosis: A literature review to link pathology and tendon function to tissue-level treatment and ergonomic interventions.

Background: Common treatments for lateral epicondylosis (LE) focus on tissue healing. Ergonomic advice is suggested broadly, but recommendations based on biomechanical motion parameters associated with functional activities are rarely made. This review analyzes the role of body functions and activities in LE and integrates the findings to suggest motion parameters applicable to education and interventions relevant to activities and life roles for patients.
