Approximately 55-75% of people experience reduced upper limb function following stroke. Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) involves using the affected limb intensively over multiple weeks, while restricting the use of the non-affected limb. Intensive, …
Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) requiring mechanical ventilation often experience functional decline and complications attributable to reduced activity. Early rehabilitation could potentially improve functional outcomes and length of stay (LOS) in these patients, …
This systematic review aimed to estimate the safety and effects of physical activity and exercise compared to usual care or conventional treatment on quality of life, pain, mental health and related outcomes in women with …
Systematic review found that video-delivered exercise programmes may improve physical performance, particularly lower extremity strength, balance and mobility in community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 60 years, but there is uncertainty of its effect on fall …
It has been proposed that dry cupping can improve musculoskeletal pain. The mechanisms are currently unknown and it is possible that treatment efficacy is as a result of the placebo effect. This systematic review aimed …
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common childhood disability characterised by motor impairments that affect mobility and functional skills. Rehabilitation programs aim to improve fitness, mobility, and participation through interventions such as fitness, strength and mobility …
Recovery of walking in people following stroke is often the main goal for patients, which is primarily achieved with forward walking training. It is hypothesised that the use of backward walking training may better improve …
This systematic review aimed to explore the effects of upper cervical (C0/1, C1/2, or C2/3) mobilization/manipulation compared to sham or other inventions on pain, mouth opening and pressure pain thresholds in adults with temporomandibular joint …
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common surgical treatment for many types of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease. However, people undergoing CABG surgery have a high-risk of developing post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs). This systematic …
This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation exercise programs on dynamic balance in people more than 6 months post-stroke. Recovery of balance and postural control after stroke is a major predictor of …
