Article Synopsis
- The first four studies from 1986 to 1997 highlighted how heat acclimation can protect rat hearts from damage due to reduced blood flow and recovery processes.
- Research conducted in 1998 tested this concept in humans, comparing heart function between patients acclimatized to heat and those in colder environments during recovery from heart surgery.
- Results indicated that heat-acclimated patients showed reduced heart dysfunction, marking a significant step in applying the benefits of environmental stressors to improve human cardiac recovery post-surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of early and prolonged locomotor treatment with the use of a robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) device (Lokomat; Hocoma Inc., Zurich, Switzerland) on the functional outcomes of patients after subacute stroke.
Design: A nonblinded prospective, randomized, controlled study.
From late September 2000 until 2005, the State of Israel was attacked by continuing acts of terrorism known as the Al Aqsa Intifada. During this period the number of terror victims treated in rehabilitation facilities has escalated significantly. The city of Jerusalem has a unique place in the heart of the Israel-Palestinian conflict and, therefore, almost 20% of national atrocities have been carried out in Jerusalem.

Research Design: Retrospective chart review of 17 terror and 39 non-terror TBI patients treated in a rehabilitation department during the same period.
Methods And Procedure: Variables include demographic data, Injury Severity Scale (ISS), length of stay (LOS) and imaging results.
The influence of autonomic impairment on aerobic exercise outcome in stroke patients.
NeuroRehabilitation
February 2008
Purpose: To investigate whether autonomic impairment post stroke modifies the influence of early aerobic training in relation to resting heart rate, peak workload and walking performance at the subacute stage post event.
Methods: Sixty-four patients after a first ischemic stroke were included and randomly assigned either to an aerobic training or to a control group. The training period lasted 8 weeks.
