GLITTRE-ADL TESTS IN THREE LAPS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE FIVE LAPS TEST.

Respir Med

January 2025

Allied Health Professorial Unit, Sydney Local Health District, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Background: The Glittre-ADL test is a comprehensive test to evaluate functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Aim: The primary aim was to validate the Glittre-ADL test with and without the backpack performed in three laps as an alternative of five laps in people with COPD.

Methods: Forty-eight participants with mild to severe COPD (mean±SD age: 71±7 years; FEV: 46 ± 17 %predicted) were recruited and performed two six-minute walk tests (visit 1); two Glittre-ADL tests with backpack (visit 2), and the Glittre-ADL test with and without the backpack, in random order (visit 3).

Background: Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and mobile health (mHealth) applications have revolutionized the healthcare landscape in the areas of remote patient monitoring (RPM) and digital therapeutics (DTx). These technological advancements offer a range of benefits, from improved patient engagement and real-time monitoring, to evidence-based personalized treatment plans, risk prediction, and enhanced clinical outcomes.

Objective: The systematic literature review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the status of SaMD and mHealth apps, highlight the promising results, and discuss what is the potential of these technologies for improving health outcomes.

Data on gait parameters during real-life activities and home rehabilitation programs for Persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPDs) are scarce. Although cueing has been shown to improve their gait in laboratory conditions, few studies have applied this technique in at-home rehabilitation programs. Our study aimed to explore the use of a real-time synchronized beat-step music program for at-home rehabilitation.

Assessment of detraining through a six-minute walk test in patients with heart disease.

Sao Paulo Med J

January 2025

Professor, Department of Applied Physical Therapy, Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM), Uberaba (MG), Brazil.

Background: Detraining can partially or completely reduce training-induced metabolic adaptations. However, the duration for which the rehabilitation effects persist after detraining, especially in patients with heart disease, remains unclear.

Objectives: To evaluate the principle of reversibility/detraining in patients with heart disease via the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) after a period of rest.

Objective: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is considered for patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). However, the impact of adding inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to PR on inspiratory muscle function is underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of IMT in addition to PR on inspiratory muscle function, functional exercise capacity (FEC), and quality of life (QoL) in patients with AECOPD.
