AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a passive motion rehabilitation device on patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between 1987 to 1990.
- It involved two groups: one following a standard rehabilitation program (RC) and the other incorporating two hours of passive motion each day using the Toronto Mobilimb device (AM).
- Results indicated that the AM group showed a statistically significant increase in average flexion range of motion (90 degrees vs. 86.7 degrees) at discharge, with indications that the passive motion device enhances early recovery, while traditional rehabilitation methods should still be maintained for optimal results.
Article Abstract
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the interest of passive motion rehabilitation with an automatic device. Our protocol has been made of 120 TKA performed in the same surgical department between february 1987 to June 1990. We draw lots, a group "RC" with usual rehabilitation program and a second group "AM" with the same program added with passive motion two hours per day. The passive motion device was Toronto Mobilimb. Passive range of motion (ROM) of flexion and extension, pain level, deep venous thrombosis existence, volume of blood postop drainage, mobilisation under anaesthesia, device tolerance were studied. The results showed a flexion ROM average of 86.7 degrees in the RC group at discharge and 90 degrees in the AM group. This difference is statistically significant and evokes the efficacy of passive motion. At the term of one year postop, the flexion averages reaches 108 degrees in both groups. The extension lag falls from 8.2 degrees and 9.2 degrees average in AM and RC group at discharge to 3 degrees and 3.7 degrees in the same groups at one year. The mean of blood postop drainage by suction was very different in the RC group than AM group (1149ml-968ml). In conclusion, we can say that passive motion device is useful to reach enough flexion in the first days after surgical day and may give some comfort. In our experience the classical rehabilitation program with physiotherapist must be continued.

Efficacy of modified posterior shoulder stretching exercises on shoulder function in subacromial impingement syndrome: A comprehensive meta-analysis.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Department of Tuina and Rehabilitation Medicine, Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wuhan, China.
Background: Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Modified posterior shoulder stretching exercises have been proposed as a treatment method aimed at improving shoulder function and reducing pain in patients with SIS. However, the efficacy of these exercises remains controversial, necessitating a systematic meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate their effectiveness.

To test the effectiveness of an 8-week exercise program targeted to the neck muscles compared to manual therapy, and placebo treatments on orofacial pain intensity, jaw function, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and jaw range of motion (ROM) in women with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). In this randomized controlled trial, fifty-four women (between 18-45 years old) with a diagnosis of myofascial or mixed TMD according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) were randomized into three groups: Neck motor control training (NTG), Manual Therapy Group (MTG), and Placebo Group (PG). All patients were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale, Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire, Oral Health Impact Profile-14, and jaw Range of Motion (ROM) at baseline, immediately after treatment (after 8 weeks of treatment), one month, and three-month follow-up.

Objectives: Primary frozen shoulder is a shoulder joint disease that severely impacts the quality of life of patients, and intra-articular injection is a common treatment method. This study aims to evaluate and compare the therapeutic effects of sodium hyaluronate (SH), corticosteroids (CS), and autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment primary frozen shoulder.
Methods: A total of 117 patients diagnosed with primary frozen shoulder and treated with a single injection of SH, CS, or PRP into the glenohumeral joint under ultrasound guidance at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022, were included in the study.

Duchenne gait, characterized by an ipsilateral trunk lean towards the affected stance limb, compensates for weak hip abductor muscles, notably the gluteus medius (GM). This study aims to investigate how electromyographic (EMG) cluster analysis of GM contributes to a better understanding of Duchenne gait in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). We analyzed retrospective gait data from 845 patients with CP and 65 typically developed individuals.

Objectives: To form a unique body weight support-Tai Chi Yunshou (BWS-TCY) training method, apply it to the treatment of upper limb dysfunction after stroke, and provide a new safe and effective treatment method for the clinic.
Methods: A total of 93 subjects were recruited and randomly divided into conventional rehabilitation treatment (CRT) group, BWS-TCY group and traditional robot-assisted training (RAT) group in equal proportions. Subjects in the CRT group received 60 minutes of CRT daily.
