Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that the ERAS protocol significantly shortened hospital stays, improved bowel recovery, and reduced POI in non-frail patients, but it did not have the same benefits for frail patients.
- * The findings suggest that while ERAS is effective for non-frail patients, frail patients might require additional strategies, like prehabilitation, to better manage POI post-surgery.
Background: Electrical stimulation therapy is effective for patients with dysphagia. However, because of the pain, strong stimulation cannot be applied. Although magnetic stimulation induces less pain, there are no reports on magnetic stimulation being synchronised with a swallowing reflex.

This study aimed to compare muscular strength reinforcement training of the suprahyoid muscles using repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) with head lift exercises in a randomized controlled trial.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four healthy adults were randomly assigned to either the magnetic stimulation group (M group) or the head lift exercise group (H group).
To identify factors associated with falls in Japanese polio survivors and assess the extent of their impact. Subjects were 128 polio survivors. Fall history and fear of falling, lower limb muscle strength, gait ability (determined by walking speed and number of steps per day), post-polio syndrome incidence, and orthosis or walking aid use were assessed, and factors associated with falls were identified using logistic regression analysis.
