Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular re-education programs on reducing abnormal movements during instrument play in musicians with focal hand dystonia (FHD).
Methods: A systematic literature search of published articles was performed. Databases searched included MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, OTseeker, and the Cochrane Library. Additional articles were identified from reference lists. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were independently assessed by the two coauthors for eligibility and quality of methods. Study data were summarized in a critical appraisal chart.
Results: Nine studies met the inclusion criteria for review, including 1 non-randomized two-group study, 6 single-group repeated measures studies, and 2 single-subject studies. The studied neuromuscular re-education programs included constraint-induced therapy plus motor control retraining, sensory motor retuning, learning- based sensorimotor training, and slow-down exercise.
Conclusions: The results of this review indicate there is moderate evidence to support the effectiveness of neuromuscular re-education programs on reducing abnormal movements during instrument play in musicians with FHD. However, additional research should evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular re-education programs using reliable and valid outcome measures, as well as study methods which provide higher levels of evidence.

Background: Falls are a prevalent and serious concern among individuals in their older life. Residual impairments, such as balance and gait deficiencies, reduced sensory processing, and diminished strength, are the common causes of falls. Balance and mobility deficits can last for years and are linked to a high rate of falls (>6 months).

Urge incontinence, often linked to prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD) due to nerve compression, involves sudden, involuntary urine leakage. Management includes behavioral therapy, bladder training, and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to strengthen pelvic muscles and regulate voiding, effectively reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. A 40-year-old female patient presented with chief complaints of lower back pain radiating down the right lower limb below the knee, accompanied by a right-sided listing.

Stroke often causes neuromotor disabilities, impacting index finger function in daily activities. Due to the role of repetitive, even passive, finger movements in neuromuscular re-education and spasticity control, this study aims to design a rehabilitation exoskeleton based on the pulp pinch movement. The exoskeleton uses an underactuated RML topology with a single degree of mobility, customized from 3D scans of the patient's hand.

Article Synopsis
- - Traumatic brachial plexus injury (BPI) is a serious condition mainly seen in young males, often caused by severe impacts, leading to loss of mobility and strength in the arm.
- - A case study discusses a 30-year-old female who suffered a mid-shaft clavicular fracture and BPI from a car accident, resulting in pain and impaired arm function, with imaging showing further complications.
- - The treatment involved surgery to fix the clavicle and a detailed rehabilitation program aimed at pain relief and restoring arm function, underlining the need for a team approach to effectively manage such injuries.

Background: The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG® (LSVT BIG®) intervention, originally designed for the patients with Parkinson's disease, is a high amplitude, high repetition therapy protocol that encourages bigger, more quality movements. The purpose of this study was to understand practitioner utilization and perspectives of the LSVT BIG® intervention as there is no published work in this area.
Methods: An electronic survey with optional debriefings was distributed to LSVT BIG® certified practitioners via the Facebook page run by parent company, LSVT Global Inc.
