Long-term effects of aromatase inhibitor withdrawal on bone mineral density in early breast cancer patients: 10-year follow-up results of the BREX study.

Purpose: We aimed to provide long-term bone mineral density (BMD) data on early breast cancer patients of the BREX (Breast Cancer and Exercise) study. The effects of exercise and adjuvant endocrine treatment 10 years after randomization were analyzed, with special emphasis on aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy discontinuation at 5 years.

Methods: The BREX study randomized 573 pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer patients into a 1-year supervised exercise program or a control group.

Association between physical fitness and perceived work ability among Finnish population: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aims to examine association between different components of physical fitness and perceived work ability among working age population.

Methods: The population-based study sample included 2050 participants aged 18-74 from the Finnish national Health 2011 study. Physical fitness was assessed by the single leg stand test, the modified push-up test, the vertical jump test and the six-minute walk test, and perceived work ability was assessed via interview.

Rehabilitees' conceptions of participation after a six-month rehabilitation period: a phenomeno-graphic study.

Purpose: A prerequisite for successful rehabilitation is that the rehabilitees are in central role of the rehabilitation process. However, the rehabilitees and rehabilitation professionals may both lack knowledge and understanding of how to implement rehabilitee-centered participation in practice. This study aimed to explore the qualitatively different ways of understanding rehabilitee participation as conceptualized by the rehabilitees.

Measuring the determinants of implementation behavior in multiprofessional rehabilitation.

Background: The Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ) measures facilitators or barriers of healthcare professionals' implementation behaviors based on the current implementation research on practice and policy. The DIBQ covers 18 domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework and consists of 93 items. A previously tailored version (DIBQ-t) covering 10 domains and 28 items focuses on implementing best-practice low back pain care.
