Purpose: This study aimed to identify trajectories of physical activity behavior from discharge up to 6-8 years after rehabilitation among adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases, and to determine modifiable determinants associated with trajectory membership.
Material And Methods: 390 Adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases participated in the Rehabilitation, Sports and Active lifestyle (ReSpAct) 2.0 study with measurements at 3-6 weeks before discharge (T0), and 14 (T1), 33 (T2), and 52 weeks (T3), and 6-8 years (T4) after discharge from rehabilitation.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of a newly developed hand rim in wheelchair tennis players from a lab and field perspective.
Methods: Nine wheelchair tennis players performed a set of field and lab tests with the new rim (NR) and regular rim on the racket side. Each player had a 60- to 120-minute regular training session with the NR.

Background: Although the prescription of physical activity in clinical care has been advocated worldwide, in the Netherlands, "Exercise is Medicine" (E = M) is not yet routinely implemented in clinical care.
Methods: A set of implementation strategies was pilot implemented to test its feasibility for use in routine care by clinicians in 2 departments of a university medical center. An extensive learning process evaluation was performed, using structured mixed methods methodology, in accordance with the Reach, Effect, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework.
The invention of nanosized biomaterials has paved the way for novel therapeutics that can manipulate cells on a nanoscale. Nanosized immunofilaments (IFs) are synthetic filamentous polymers consisting out of polyisocyanopeptides, which have been recently established as a powerful platform to activate specific immune cells in vivo such that they raise an antitumor immune response. However, toxicological effects or immunogenicity toward the IFs have not yet been investigated.
