Adverse events of exercise therapy in randomised controlled trials: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the relative risk (RR) of serious and non-serious adverse events in patients treated with exercise therapy compared with those in a non-exercising control group.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data Sources: Primary studies were identified based on The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews investigating the effect of exercise therapy.

Physical and social factors determining quality of life for veterans with lower-limb amputation(s): a systematic review.

Purpose: Most veterans live for many years after their war-related traumatic lower-limb amputation, which is why understanding which factors influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remains important to their long-term management. The objective of this study was to perform a review of the literature to summarize any evidence on the physical and social determinants for HRQoL in veterans with uni- or bilateral lower-limb amputation(s).

Method: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PEDro, CINAHL, Scopus and Cochrane databases were searched systematically for eligible studies.
