Quantifying the Relationship Between At-Home Shoulder Physiotherapy Participation and Outcome: What can a Watch Tell Us?

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

January 2025

From the Holland Bone and Joint Program, Sunnybrook Research Institute, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Boyer, Burns, Razmjou, Renteria, Sheth, Richards, and Whyne), the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Burns, Sheth, Richards, and Whyne), the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Boyer, Burns, and Whyne), the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Razmjou), and the Sunnybrook Orthopaedic Upper Limb (SOUL), Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Sheth, Richards, and Whyne).

Introduction: Exercise-based physiotherapy is an established treatment of rotator cuff injury. Objective assessment of at-home exercise is critical to understand its relationship with clinical outcomes. This study uses the Smart Physiotherapy Activity Recognition System to measure at-home physiotherapy participation in patients with rotator cuff injury based on inertial sensor data captured from smart watches.

Background: Endurance athletes tend to accumulate large training volumes, the majority of which are performed at a low intensity and a smaller portion at moderate and high intensity. However, different training intensity distributions (TID) are employed to maximize physiological and performance adaptations.

Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis of individual participant data to compare the effect of different TID models on maximal oxygen uptake (VO) and time-trial (TT) performance in endurance-trained athletes.

Purpose: The loss of synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 A (SV2A) can lead to dysfunction of GABAergic neurons, but a direct comparison of SV2A and GABA receptor densities in humans has not been assessed. This study evaluated SV2A and GABA receptor abnormalities in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and compared the patterns to glucose hypometabolism.

Methods: Eleven patients with DRE were retrospectively recruited and underwent PET imaging with [F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG), [F]Flumazenil (FMZ), and [F]SynVesT-1.

Introduction: Non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) is an autoimmune condition characterized by melanocyte loss. While skin-specific mechanisms are well-studied, systemic immune dysregulation contributing to NSV pathogenesis remains unclear.

Objective: This study employs a multi-omic single-cell approach to investigate circulating immune cells in NSV, integrating transcriptional and chromatin accessibility data.
