ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Introduction: Muscle injury in ski sports training has gradually increased, greatly impairing performance in ice and snow sports competitions. Objective: To study muscle injury and muscle movement during ice and snow sports training and the rehabilitation of muscle injuries. Methods: Thirty skiers with knee muscle injuries were selected as subjects and underwent rehabilitation training for six weeks, and the indicators were statistically evaluated. Results: The ski injuries were mainly muscle strain, muscle or ligament strain, and ligament rupture. The indices after treatment were significantly different from those before treatment (P < 0.05); compared with the three rehabilitation programs, the improvement of each index in group C was significantly different from that in the other two groups (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in the improvement of each index between the multi-angle isometric training treatment in group A and the proprioceptive neuromuscular stimulation technique in group B (P>0.05). Conclusion: The influence of recovery training technology on knee muscle re-education was proposed, and a rehabilitation plan for skiing was presented. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Despite having good intentions, hemodialysis (HD) clinics often fail to sustain exercise programs that they initiate. There are many reasons for this, including a lack of funding, inadequate training of the clinic staff, a lack of exercise professionals to manage the program or train the staff, and the many challenges inherent to exercising a patient population with multiple comorbid diseases. Despite these barriers, there are several outstanding examples of successful exercise programs in HD clinics throughout the world. The aim of this manuscript is to review the characteristics of four successfully sustained HD exercise programs in Portugal, Canada, Mexico, and Germany. We describe the unique approaches they have used to fund and manage their programs, the varied exercise prescriptions they incorporate, the unique challenges they face, and discuss the benefits they have seen. While the programs differ in many regards, a consistent theme is that they each have substantial and committed support from the entire clinic staff, including the nephrologists, administration, nurses, dietitians, and technicians. This suggests that exercise programs in HD clinics can be successfully implemented and sustained provided significant effort is made to foster a culture of physical activity throughout the clinic.

BACKGROUND: Recommendations of the Myopathy Committee of the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology for the management and therapy of systemic autoimmune myopathies (SAM). MAIN BODY: The review of the literature was done in the search for the Medline (PubMed), Embase and Cochrane databases including studies published until June 2018. The Prisma was used for the systematic review and the articles were evaluated according to the levels of Oxford evidence. Ten recommendations were developed addressing the management and therapy of systemic autoimmune myopathies. CONCLUSIONS: Robust data to guide the therapeutic process are scarce. Although not proven effective in controlled clinical trials, glucocorticoid represents first-line drugs in the treatment of SAM. Intravenous immunoglobulin is considered in induction for refractory cases of SAM or when immunosuppressive drugs are contra-indicated. Consideration should be given to the early introduction of immunosuppressive drugs. There is no specific period determined for the suspension of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive drugs when individually evaluating patients with SAM. A key component for treatment in an early rehabilitation program is the inclusion of strength-building and aerobic exercises, in addition to a rigorous evaluation of these activities for remission of disease and the education of the patient and his/her caregivers.

BACKGROUND: Primary or secondary disorders in developing skeletal muscles are prevalent in physical therapy practice. Assessment of gait functional changes and morphological aspects of hindlimb muscles of weanling rats have not been reported simultaneously in the literature. Rehabilitation by active (eccentric training) and passive (stretching) exercises after hypomobility needs to be investigated. METHODS: After ten days of immobilisation in a plantar flexion-shortened position, animals underwent eccentric training on treadmills, intermittent (a single series of ten exercises of 30 seconds each, with a 30-s interval) or continuous stretching protocols for 40 minutes, or had free cage activity for three days. Analysis of gait variables and muscle morphology (immunohistochemical staining of soleus and plantar muscles for fibronectin and types I and III collagen and immunofluorescence staining for dystrophin, laminin, Pax-7, and CD68) were performed. RESULTS: On the third day, the rehabilitated animals touched the ground surface with their toes, except for the group undergoing continuous stretching. The total amount of extracellular macrophages was higher in the rehabilitated animals. The number of satellite cells was not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSION: Three days of active training (eccentric exercise) showed greater effectiveness compared to the other rehabilitation programs. Weanling rats seem to respond differently to external stimuli such as disuse and remobilisation.

BACKGROUND: Measurements from pressure biofeedback units (PBUs) can be used to evaluate the activity of the transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle indirectly. These measurements can classify patients or monitor the progress of treatment programmes for people with low back pain. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review studies on the measurement properties of PBUs for the assessment of TrA activity. DATA SOURCES: Eligible studies were identified through searches of PUBMED, CINAHL and BIREME (1990 to 2009). In addition, hand searches of journals and citation tracking were performed. STUDY SELECTION: Full-text studies involving any type of clinimetric tests of PBU measurement for the assessment of TrA activity were selected. DATA EXTRACTION: Two independent reviewers selected the studies, extracted the data and assessed methodological quality. DATA SYNTHESIS: Due to the heterogeneity of study designs and statistical analysis, it was not possible to pool the data for a meta-analysis. RESULTS: Six studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies were typically of low quality and recruited healthy subjects rather than patients with low back pain. The studies found moderate to good reproducibility (intra-class correlation coefficients from 0.47 to 0.82) and acceptable construct validity (intra-class correlation coefficients from 0.48 to 0.90). CONCLUSIONS: The current evidence about the measurement properties of PBUs for the assessment of TrA activity is mainly based on studies with suboptimal designs, and the findings from these studies are likely to be overly optimistic. The most important clinical questions about the measurement properties of PBUs for the assessment of TrA activity are yet to be answered.

A partir do acompanhamento de cento e trinta pacientes em programa de condicionamento fisico durante o periodo de um ano, observou-se lesoes parcialmente incapacitantes com queixas clinicas preliminares ao inicio do programa em treze pacientes, e intercorrencias durante o desenvolvimento do mesmo em dezenove pacientes. No primeiro grupo, quatro pacientes foram afastados do programa, dois temporariamente e dois definitivamente. No segundo grupo, cinco pacientes tiveram programa interrompido por periodos que variaram de vinte dias a dois meses. Em ambos os grupos foram propostas medidas terapeuticas envolvendo o uso de meios fisicos, cinesioterapia e medicamentos. Ausencias no programa de condicionamento fisico por periodos superiores a tres semanas provocam perdas expressivas dos beneficios cardiovasculares. O medico clinico deve estar atento ao fato de que pacientes sedentarios do ponto de vista cardiovascular tambem o sao do ponto de vista mioarticular. A consulta fisiatrica deve ser incluida na avaliacao destes pacientes visando prevenir e/ou tratar as lesoes incapacitantes.
