Over 80% of stroke patients suffer from the most frequent form, ischemic stroke. It is rare in the pediatric age group, with an estimated frequency of 1.6 per 100,000 per year. In this case report, we reviewed a case of an 11-year-old female child with bilateral hemiplegia. Motor impairments are defined as weakness or paralysis on the opposite side of the body from the lesion (hemiplegia or hemiparesis). Complications and impairments include difficulty swallowing or eating, communication difficulties (both receptive and expressive), emotional changes, loss of bladder or bowel control, muscle and nerve diseases, and language, speech, and memory problems. A patient-centered approach to rehabilitation interventions was given. The patient's functional ability was greatly enhanced due to the physiotherapy rehabilitation we used. Effective rehabilitation has taken advantage of the brain's capacity for repair and recovery. A patient-centered approach to rehabilitation interventions promotes healing and independence through restitution, compensation, and prevention. Task-oriented training using motor learning constructs, coupled with exercise science, forms the basis of the intervention. Every outcome measure that was used showed improvement in the patient.

Background: Having a great amount of sedentary time is common among older adults and increases with age. There is a strong need for tools to reduce sedentary time and promote adherence to reduced sedentary time, for which eHealth interventions have the potential to be useful. Interventions for reducing sedentary time in older adults have been found to be more effective when elements of self-management are included.

This study examines the acute effects of post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) with different loads (84% and 60% 1-RM) and exercises (hip thrust; HT and glute bridge; GB) on sprint performance (SP) and horizontal force-velocity (HF-V) profile components in adolescent male soccer players. The participants were randomly assigned to three groups: hip thrust group (HTG; n = 13), glute bridge group (GBG; n = 13), and control group (CG; n = 14). Sprint tests at distances of 10, 20, and 30 m were conducted pre-PAPE and post-PAPE protocols with a 7 min rest period.

Background: Although there is clear evidence supporting the beneficial effects of regularly assessing patient-reported outcomes (PROs), the comprehensive integration of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into routine cancer care remains limited. This study aimed to explore the facilitators and barriers encountered by principal investigators (PIs) (oncologists) and study nurses during the implementation of the Eir ePROM within a cluster randomized trial (c-RCT) in cancer outpatient clinics. Additionally, we sought to examine the influence of Eir on the working routines of the participants.

Effective team science requires procedural harmonization for rigor and reproducibility. Multicenter studies across experimental modalities (domains) can help accelerate translation. The Translational Outcomes Project in NeuroTrauma (TOP-NT) is a pre-clinical traumatic brain injury (TBI) consortium charged with establishing and validating noninvasive TBI assessment tools through team science.

Hypoplasia of the upper jaw to one degree or another inevitably occurs in patients with cleft lip and palate. The most difficult task is to fix skeletal deformity of the upper jaw, especially the discrepancy between its transversal dimensions due to the high risks of recurrence after treatment. One of the key stages of rehabilitation of this group of patients is orthodontics and surgical treatment aimed at eliminating functional and aesthetic problems of the dental system.
