Background/objectives: Overall priorities of the international pediatric-onset spinal cord injury (SCI) population are unknown. The purpose was to describe and compare Life and Health (L&H) domain overall priorities of European youth with SCI and their parents and caregivers (P&C).
Methods: A survey with a cross-sectional design, prepared by the PEPSCI Collaboration, was conducted in six European countries.
Objective: To determine whether application of a strength training regimen yields measurable results on stroke survivors and compare different methods for the proposed intervention.
Design Patients And Methods: Ninety stroke patients were recruited from the neurological clinic of a local third-level clinic. Sixty patients participated in a strength training regimen with trainings taking place 3 times a week for 12 weeks with the use of resistance bands.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers surveyed 202 people from six European countries, including 101 kids aged 8 to 25 and their parents or caregivers.
- * The findings showed different priorities: younger kids care a lot about school experiences and general mood, while older kids focus more on health issues like bowel function and pain. This information can help improve treatment and research for these kids.
Background: Functioning is considered a third indicator of health and a key outcome in rehabilitation. A universal practical tool for collecting functioning information is essential. This tool would be ideally based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

Objective-design: This is a prospective cohort study, including 92 adults discharged from the Infectious Disease Unit of a third-level hospital in Greece after hospitalization with COVID-19. Demographics and disease severity data was collected upon admission and symptoms at discharge, 4 months and 1 year.
