Introduction: Seated exercises can reduce the need for in-person assistance during remote-delivered programs, but its safety implications in stroke are unknown.
Objective: This case-report investigates the effect of a novel, remotely delivered 2-week seated exercise program on mobility in a person living with stroke.
Case Description: A 68-year-old man living with a chronic stroke (>1-year post-stroke) and moderate disability (Modified Rankin Scale = 3) participated in a 2-week seated exercise program delivered remotely through videoconferencing (Zoom). Sessions were 60 min, 3 times per week. The participant worked on average at 37% of heart rate reserve (range: 21-53%).
Outcomes: No adverse events were reported during the 2-week intervention. After 2 weeks, Berg Balance Scale score improved by five points. Distance in the six-minute walk test increased from 218 m to 278 m and walking speed increased at self-selected walking (0.18 m/s) and fast-walking (0.28 m/s) pace. Sit-to-stands increased from 5 to 9 sit-to-stands in 30 s. Stroke Impact Scale improved in the following domains: hand function, activities of daily living, mobility, and participation.
Discussion: This novel case-report demonstrated the potential for a 2-week seated exercise program to transfer to meaningful improvements in balance and mobility in a person living with a chronic stroke and mobility impairment. Given the stable seated position, no in-person support was required, while the instructor safely delivered the intervention remotely.

Progression and perceptual responses to blood flow restriction resistance training among people with multiple sclerosis.

Purpose: Resistance exercise can attenuate muscular impairments associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), and blood flow restriction (BFR) may provide a viable alternative to prescribing heavy training loads. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the progression of upper and lower body low-load (30% of one-repetition maximum [1RM]) resistance training (RT) with BFR applied intermittently during the exercise intervals (RT + BFR) versus volume-matched heavy-load (65% of 1RM) RT.
Methods: Men and women with MS (n = 16) were randomly assigned to low-load RT + BFR (applied intermittently) or heavy-load RT and completed 12 weeks (2 × /week) of RT that consisted of bilateral chest press, seated row, shoulder press, leg press, leg extension, and leg curl exercises.

The clinical effects of a serious game with electromyography feedback (EMGs_SG) and physical therapy (PT) was investigated prospectively in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). An additional aim was to better understand the influence of muscle shortening on function. Thirty children with USCP (age 7.

Background: Prolonged bouts of sedentary time, independent from the time spent in engaging in physical activity, significantly increases cardiometabolic risk. Nonetheless, the modern workforce spends large, uninterrupted portions of the day seated at a desk. Previous research suggests-via improved cardiometabolic biomarkers-that this risk might be attenuated by simply disrupting sedentary time with brief breaks of standing or moving.

Background: Motor vehicle collision (MVC) remains a leading cause of injury and death among children, but the proper use of child safety seats and restraints has lowered the risks associated with motor vehicle travel. Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is rare but significant among children involved in MVC. This study reviewed the incidence of BCVI after MVC causing blunt injury to the head, face, or neck, comparing those that were properly restrained with those that were not.
