Effectiveness of whole-body electromyostimulation on knee pain and physical function in knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled trial.
Sci Rep
September 2024
Institute of Radiology, University Hospital Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany.
In a randomized, controlled study, whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) was investigated as a promising alternative treatment technique compared to conventional strength training for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Seventy-two overweight participants with symptomatic knee OA were randomly assigned to WB-EMS (n = 36) or a usual care group (UCG, n = 36). For seven months, the WB-EMS group received three times per fortnight a WB-EMS training, while the UCG was prescribed six-times physiotherapeutic treatments.

Objective: To identify the effect of exercise interventions on physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: Relevant articles were searched in MEDLINE, LILACS, Scielo, Embase, and PEDro in November 2022, based on a protocol registered in PROSPERO and according to items prescribed in Report for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, using Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and free terms for search strategy, with no language restrictions. The studies were considered if they had been published between January 2010 and November 2022, and were randomized clinical trials in which pre-frail and frail older community-dwelling adults had undergone exercise-based physical therapy.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional structural asymmetry of the spine and trunk affecting 2-4% of adolescents. Standard treatment is observation, bracing, and surgery for small, moderate, and large curves, respectively. Schroth exercises aim to correct posture and reduce curve progression.

Background: Cancer is a medical condition where some cells of the body reproduce uncontrollably and metastasize to other parts of the body. This study attempts to review the effect of physiotherapy application on head and neck, lung and breast cancer survivors on important clinical outcomes such as pain, strength, fatigability, coordination, balance, activities of daily living (ADLs), psychosocial aspects, cognitive aspects, and quality of life (QoL) Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Scientific articles were retrieved from electronic databases including Cochrane, Medline, EBSCO, Science Direct, Springer and Web of Science.

Department of Health Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney 2109, Australia.
(1) Background: Schroth is a type of physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercise (PSSE) prescribed to adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Studies have investigated the effectiveness of Schroth but are yet to elucidate how Schroth is applied clinically and the factors that influence their prescription. (2) Methods: A mixed methods design was used comprising an anonymous survey and semi-structured interviews of Schroth therapists who treated AIS and who were publicly listed on the Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School or the International Schroth 3-dimensional Scoliosis Therapy School websites.
