Minimal clinically important difference of the functional independence measure in older adults with hip fracture.

Purpose: To investigate the responsiveness and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) from a clinician's perspective in hip-fractured elderly undergoing inpatient rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: Data of 701 hip-fractured elderly admitted to our rehabilitation institute were retrospectively collected. Ten hypotheses were formulated.

Effects of Aerobic Training in Patients with Subacute COVID-19: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial.

Many clinical practice recommendations indicate rehabilitation as essential for patients with sequelae of severe or critical COVID-19 and suggest the prompt initiation of a multicomponent rehabilitation program focused on aerobic and endurance training. However, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding aerobic exercise are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the addition of aerobic training to standard rehabilitation in subjects with subacute COVID-19.

Age Diversity Climate Affecting Individual-Level Work-Related Outcomes.

The present study answers the call for more studies to investigate the age diversity climate's effect on individual-level outcomes. Building on the social identity approach and social exchange theory, we surveyed 110 Italian employees aged between 18 and 61 years old ( = 46.10, = 10.

Rapid Review on COVID-19, Work-Related Aspects, and Age Differences.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the labor market and multiple aspects of work and workers' life. The present rapid review analyzes this impact considering the effects that COVID-19 pandemic had on employment and work-related aspects across different age groups. A comprehensive literature search was performed on scientific contributions published between 2019 and March 2021, resulting in 36 papers pertinent to the scope of this review.

Addition of aerobic training to conventional rehabilitation after hip fracture: a randomized, controlled, pilot feasibility study.

Objectives: To determine the feasibility and safety of aerobic training with an arm crank ergometer and its effectiveness in improving functional capacity and gait in patients with recent hip fracture.

Design: Randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded pilot study, with intention-to-treat analysis.

Setting: Inpatients, rehabilitation department.
