- The study evaluates the effectiveness of exercise rehabilitation therapy for patients with Degenerative Meniscal Lesions of the Tibia (DMLT) to provide safer treatment options and evidence-based medical recommendations.
- The research used a systematic literature search and analyzed data from 12 randomized controlled trials involving 1336 patients, aiming to assess various rehabilitation outcomes like pain relief and muscle strength.
- Results indicated that exercise therapy significantly reduced pain and improved muscle strength and physical function, but showed limited effectiveness in enhancing knee joint function when compared to surgery alone.
Article Synopsis
- * A review of multiple studies showed that both TCMA and ST significantly reduced Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) scores, improved pain and fatigue levels, and enhanced sleep quality compared to control groups.
- * The results suggest that non-pharmacological approaches like TCMA and ST can effectively manage FMS symptoms, but future research is needed to pinpoint the best practices for these interventions to optimize treatment for individual patients.
Background: Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading global cause of mortality worldwide especially in older adults. Although it is known that regular exercise reduces cardiovascular diseases incidence, its effects on specific cardiovascular aging parameters considering the influence of sex and different exercise designs are still not fully understood. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effects of different physical exercise protocols on age-related cardiovascular outcomes in older adults.

Traditional mind-body exercises, as a non-pharmacological intervention for COPD, have become a new research focus.
Objective: To assess the impact of traditional mind-body exercises (Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga) on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in COPD patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how body mass index (BMI), age, and sex affect blood pressure in children aged 7-17 during COVID-19 in City N, China, aiming to help with hypertension prevention and screening.
- Data was collected from 11,433 students across 36 primary and secondary schools using a cross-sectional method, with analysis performed using SPSS to examine relationships between BMI, age, sex, and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
- Results indicate that BMI and blood pressure increase with age, showing significant differences between boys and girls; regression models revealed positive relationships between age, BMI, and blood pressure, while resting heart rate correlated negatively with systolic blood pressure.*
Background: Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) is a prevalent global health issue, leading to prolonged discomfort and functional limitations. Hot spring hydrotherapy, which utilizes mineral-rich, warm spring water, offers a unique physical therapy that holds promise in alleviating CLBP symptoms.
Objective: This meta-analysis aims to assess the effectiveness of hot spring hydrotherapy in improving CLBP symptoms, encompassing pain intensity, functional disability, quality of life, and medication usage.
Article Synopsis
- Exercise can help older people with chronic low back pain feel better and improve their daily activities.
- The study looked at 18 research articles and involved almost 1,000 participants aged 60 and older.
- Results showed that regular exercise, like aerobics and strength training, improved pain levels, disability, and overall quality of life for these elderly people.
Objective: In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate and update the effects of aquatic exercise on physical fitness and quality of life (QoL) in postmenopausal women.
Methods: The databases Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and MEDLINE were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the topic from inception to July 2022. The GetData software was used to extract data from the published images.
Gait disturbances are among the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) and can increase fall risk. In this study we aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of different exercise modes on gait indexes of PD patients. We conducted a review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in studies listed in Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrailS.

We searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane library databases, up to July 2022. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected following the inclusion criteria.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOur objective in this paper was to systematically review evaluations of the effects of exercises on pain symptoms and activities of daily living (ADL) in middle-aged and elderly patients with low back pain (LBP). We searched Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCO, and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this topic. We evaluated the methodological quality of included articles using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale, and we statistically analyzed these studies using RevMan software.
