Introduction
Two-thirds of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience persistent symptoms after infection.
Objectives
To study the benefits of a respiratory rehabilitation program (RRP) in patients with long COVID and compare the results based on the time of evolution and clinical presentation.
Methods
Post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort of patients with long COVID. Changes were evaluated using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (maxIP and maxEP), and peripheral muscle strength. Statistical tests used: Chi-square, paired and independent t-Student tests, one-way ANOVA, and a general linear model.
Results
Out of 158 patients referred to rehabilitation, 110 (mean age 58.1 years; 57.3% women) started the RRP. After the intervention, significant improvements were observed: a reduction of 0.8 points (95% CI: −1.1 to −0.6) on the mMRC dyspnea scale, an increase of 19.6 m (95% CI: −0.8 to 39.9) in the 6MWT, 16.8 cmH2O (95% CI: 10.3 to 23.2) in maxIP, 22.5 cmH2O (95% CI: 15.3 to 29.7) in maxEP, and 5.0 kg (95% CI: 3.3 to 6.7) in quadriceps strength. Although these improvements were independent of infection onset and disease duration, patients from the first wave showed more modest improvements.
Conclusions
The RRP provides clinical and functional benefits for patients with long COVID, regardless of disease duration and initial severity of infection.
三分之二的SARS-CoV-2感染患者在感染后出现持续症状。目的研究呼吸康复方案(RRP)对长COVID患者的益处,并根据病程和临床表现对效果进行比较。方法对长冠状病毒肺炎患者前瞻性队列进行事后分析。使用改良的医学研究委员会(mMRC)呼吸困难量表、6分钟步行测试(6MWT)、最大吸气和呼气压力(maxIP和maxEP)和外周肌力来评估变化。使用的统计检验:卡方检验、配对和独立t-Student检验、单向方差分析和一般线性模型。结果158例康复患者中,110例(平均年龄58.1岁;57.3%的女性)开始了RRP。干预后,观察到显著改善:mMRC呼吸困难量表降低0.8点(95% CI:−1.1至−0.6),6MWT增加19.6 m (95% CI:−0.8至39.9),maxIP增加16.8 cmH2O (95% CI: 10.3至23.2),maxEP增加22.5 cmH2O (95% CI: 15.3至29.7),股头肌力量增加5.0 kg (95% CI: 3.3至6.7)。虽然这些改善与感染的发生和疾病持续时间无关,但第一波患者表现出更温和的改善。结论无论病程和初始感染严重程度如何,RRP均可为长COVID患者提供临床和功能益处。

The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess quality of life in patients with rotator cuff injuries. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise-based interventions using WORC as an outcome measure in patients with rotator cuff injuries. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, and PEDro from inception until August 2024. Out of 13 potentially eligible studies, five studies (218 patients) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Various rehabilitation interventions, such as exercise therapy, neuromuscular training, kinesiotaping, and proprioceptive exercises, showed significant improvements in pain relief, shoulder function, and quality of life. These findings suggest that the WORC index is a reliable tool for assessing pain and quality of life in patients with rotator cuff injuries.

The systematic review synthesized the current scientific evidence on the recommendations for pelvic rehabilitation in the management of sexual dysfunctions secondary to gynecological cancer. Twelve literature reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses were included, evaluating the methodological quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute Risk of Bias Assessment tool. The results highlight the efficacy of pelvic floor exercises, alone or with biofeedback, and education and information provided to patients, with a high degree of recommendation. Vaginal dilators, and manual techniques received a moderate recommendation due to inconclusive protocols and high risk of bias. Early initiation of pelvic rehabilitation is recommended, but variability was identified in the intervention protocols, which hinders the comparison of the efficacy of the treatments.

Objective
Spasticity developing in the upper extremity in stroke patients causes disability by limiting movement and causing pain. This study investigates the effects of botulinum toxin injections on pain, functionality, spasticity, and range of motion in hemiplegic patients with post-stroke spasticity.
Materials and methods
The study involved a double-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial with thirty-one stroke patients aged 35–80 who developed upper extremity spasticity. The study group (n = 16) received botulinum toxin-A (BT-A) injections in addition to conventional rehabilitation and stretching exercises, while the control group (n = 15) received placebo injections. Evaluations were conducted before treatment, in the second week, and three months after treatment. The study evaluated pain relief through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), assessed spasticity with the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and measured functionality using the Fugl Meyer Assessment Scale (FMAS) and the Box Block Test (BBT).
Results
The mean age of patients was 56.03 ± 11.81. The median time after stroke was 24 months. The BT-A group demonstrated significantly lower VAS and MAS scores compared to controls at both 2 weeks and 3 months after treatment. Additionally, the BT-A group showed significantly higher changes in arm, wrist, and total FMAS scores compared to the control group. However, no significant difference was found in terms of hand, coordination, and speed FMAS score changes.
Conclusions
The results of our study demonstrated that BT-A injection with ultrasonography guidance is an effective method for alleviating pain caused by passive shoulder movement, significantly reducing spasticity, and markedly improving motor functions.
目的:脑卒中患者上肢痉挛通过限制运动和引起疼痛而导致残疾。本研究探讨了注射肉毒杆菌毒素对卒中后痉挛偏瘫患者疼痛、功能、痉挛和活动范围的影响。材料和方法:本研究采用双盲、前瞻性、随机对照试验,纳入31例年龄在35-80岁之间出现上肢痉挛的中风患者。研究组(n=16)在常规康复和伸展运动的基础上接受肉毒毒素a (BT-A)注射,对照组(n=15)接受安慰剂注射。分别于治疗前、治疗后第2周和治疗后3个月进行评估。该研究通过视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估疼痛缓解程度,使用改良Ashworth量表(MAS)评估痉挛程度,并使用Fugl Meyer评估量表(FMAS)和Box Block Test (BBT)测量功能。结果:患者平均年龄56.03±11.81岁。中风后的中位时间为24个月。治疗后2周和3个月,BT-A组的VAS和MAS评分均明显低于对照组。此外,与对照组相比,BT-A组在手臂、手腕和FMAS总分方面的变化明显更高。然而,在手、协调性和速度方面,FMAS得分的变化没有显著差异。结论:超声引导下注射BT-A可有效缓解肩部被动运动引起的疼痛,明显减轻痉挛,明显改善运动功能。

Stroke survivors often suffer from upper limb spasticity and impaired motor function. This review seeks to: (1) explore the efficacy of neural mobilization, particularly using the Upper Limb Neurodynamic Test 1 (ULNT1), in modulating electromyographic (EMG) activity of muscles; (2) examine its role in reducing spasticity and improving functional outcomes; and (3) outline the current state of knowledge, identifying existing gaps and directions for future research. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, focusing on studies that implemented ULNT1 and EMG analysis in post-stroke patients. The included studies varied in participant characteristics, methodologies, and outcome measures. The results demonstrated that neural mobilization has the potential to reduce EMG activity in spastic muscles and modify pain perceptions. However, results regarding the improvement of range of motion and functional outcomes were mixed. Neural mobilization and electromyographic analysis show promise for improving post-stroke rehabilitation. However, further research is required to confirm these benefits, with more rigorous methodologies and larger sample sizes.

Introduction
Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 may present sequelae which are called Post COVID-19 Syndrome or Long COVID in which physical, psychological and/or social complications are evident. The objective of this study was to evaluate the agreement of the Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS) of the evaluator-administered version vs patient self-assessed in post-COVID-19 patients.
Methods
Observational study in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 with subsequent recovery. Once the project was approved by the ethics committee and the patients signed the informed consent, a survey was carried out to collect sociodemographic and clinical data and the application of the PCFS scale, in its two forms, self-administered and by an evaluator.
Results
97 patients entered the study, 57.7% being women. The agreement analysis determined a concordance index of 0.857 95% CI (0.7-0.934) (almost perfect agreement). The agreement for women was 0.817 95% CI 0.700-0.934 and for men 0.907 95% CI (0.806-1).
Conclusion
The use of the Spanish version of the PCFS scale carried out by the health professional compared to the version self-assessed by patients, demonstrates adequate agreement.
