Differentiation of Post-Polio Syndrome from Prior Poliomyelitis Sequela by Assessing Paraspinal Muscle Involvement in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Post-polio syndrome (PPS) affects former polio patients, manifesting decades after initial infection with progressive symptoms like pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis relies on the clinical criteria and exclusion of other probable causes. The purpose of this study is to determine the scope and new diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying muscle involvement in PPS and distinguishing it from prior poliomyelitis (PPM).

Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Rhomboid Interfascial Plane Block on Pain Severity, Disability, and Quality of Life in Myofascial Pain Syndrome - A Case Series With One-Year Follow-Up.

Background: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a condition characterized by trigger points in the taut bands of skeletal muscles, commonly affecting the trapezius, rhomboid, and supraspinatus muscles. Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB), an interfascial plane block used to assist perioperative analgesia might be a potential treatment option in MPS.

Objectives: To investigate the short and long-term effects of ultrasound-guided RIB in reducing the severity of pain, disability, and improving quality of life in MPS patients with trigger points in the rhomboid muscle.

Validity, inter-rater reliability, and feasibility of the Chelsea Physical Assessment Tool for assessing physical function in post-acute COVID-19 patients: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Various tools have been created to measure physical function during intensive care unit (ICU) stay and after ICU discharge, but those have not been validated in coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) patients. There is a need for a reliable, valid and feasible tool to define the rehabilitation needs of post-ICU COVID-19 patients entering the acute wards and then rehabilitation clinics.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the validity, inter-rater reliability and feasibility of Chelsea Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx) in assessing the functional status of COVID-19 patients after discharge from the ICU.

Musculoskeletal complaints and associated factors in school children aged between 6 and 13 years in Istanbul during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Following the first COVID-19 cases in Turkey, face-to-face education was ceased after March 16, 2020 until the end of the educational year (i.e. June 19, 2020) and education was substituted remotely due to confinement.

The effect of adding whole-body vibration exercises to home exercise program on muscle strength in patients with post-polio syndrome.

Objectives: This study aims to understand the effectiveness of whole-body vibration (WBV) exercises performed with home exercise program in patients with post-polio syndrome (PPS) in terms of muscle strength, fatigue, the quality of life, and laboratory parameters.

Patients And Methods: Between October 2015 and March 2016, a total of 14 patients (7 males, 7 females; mean age: 45.1±6.

Is Poliomyelitis Sequelae A Disadvantage for Recovery from Covid-19 ARDS: A Case Report.

We present a case with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19 who had poliomyelitis sequelae. He was hospitalized in the intensive care unit and supported by non-invasive mechanical ventilation for 7 days. IL-6 inhibitor was administered due to cytokine storm.

Is tele-rehabilitation superior to home exercise program in COVID-19 survivors following discharge from intensive care unit? - A study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background And Purpose: Evaluating the patients with COVID-19 following discharge from intensive care unit for pulmonary rehabilitation is crucial. It could be difficult to participate rehabilitation program due to transportation problems and cautions for contagiousness. Tele-rehabilitation could serve as a favorable alternative.

Physical rehabilitation in Intensive Care Unit in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients with COVID-19.

Background: The risk of muscle weakness is high in the survivors of acute respiratory distress syndrome with COVID-19 following discharge from intensive care unit.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of early rehabilitation program in intensive care unit in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to COVID-19.

Design: The design of the study is observational.

Suprascapular nerve block in hemiplegic shoulder pain: comparison of the effectiveness of placebo, local anesthetic, and corticosteroid injections-a randomized controlled study.

Background: Shoulder pain is a common complication of hemiplegic patients that can interrupt their rehabilitation program and is associated with poorer outcomes. The usefulness of the suprascapular nerve block. (SSNB) in the stroke population has been suggested, but some concerns still remain.
