: Idiopathic Toe Walking (ITW) is a pediatric gait disorder characterized by persistent toe-to-heel ambulation in the absence of neurological, orthopedic, or developmental abnormalities. While spatio-temporal parameters often remain within normal ranges, subtle but clinically significant kinematic deviations may underlie compensatory mechanisms that sustain gait functionality. This study aims to evaluate spatio-temporal and sagittal plane kinematic differences between children with ITW and typically developing peers using Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM).

Article Synopsis
  • Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase IIA trial tested the safety and pain relief efficacy of NFX-88 in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) patients.
  • A total of 61 adults with varying levels of SCI participated, receiving either a placebo or one of three NFX-88 doses alongside pregabalin.
  • Results showed no severe side effects and indicated that the 2.1g/day dose of NFX-88 provided the most significant reduction in neuropathic pain, suggesting its potential for future trials.

Objective: The characterization of a sample of patients hospitalized with complications of the COVID-19 infection regarding potential prognostic factors, clinical evolution, and impact of rehabilitation treatment on functional, motor, and respiratory outcomes.

Method: Descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal study of a cohort of patients under rehabilitation treatment admitted at Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital in Granada from March to June 2020, assessed upon admission, discharge and at 3 rd month using physical condition scales (IFIS) and functional assessment: general (Rankin, Barthel), respiratory (mMRC, BORG) and gait (FAC).

Results: 30 patients with a mean age of 62.

Objective: The objective of this review was to determine whether immune parameters can be modulated by massage after intense physical activity.

Methods: A search was conducted in Pub Med Medline, PEDro, and Cochrane databases, using the key words: "massage", "myofascial release", "acupressure", "recovery", and "warm up" combined with "exercise", "exercise-induced muscle damage", "sport", "immunology", and lymphocytes" independently. Only controlled studies published between 1970 and 2012 were selected, with no restrictions regarding publication language.
