Step 1: The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Observation of Virtual Actions on gait recovery in patients hospitalized in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (MPR) and presenting ICU-weakness, in particular following a COVID-19 infection. If the patient is included in the Virtual
Infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality individuals with mitochondrial disease, frequently triggering metabolic decompensation, multiorgan dysfunction, and neurologic deterioration. In the context of the recent COVID19 pandemic, people with mitochondrial disease are at increased risk
Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is a safe type of low intensity resistance exercise that has demonstrated enhanced muscle growth, muscle strength, oxygen delivery and utilization (VO2Max). With BFRT, lighter loads can be used to build muscle while sparing the joints from heavy loading and
Osteoarthritis is a very common chronic joint disease resulting in functional disability. Knee OA is considered to be most common form of arthritis in western countries. Knee OA is mainly characterized by presence of pain, radiographic evidence of reduced joint space, wear and tear of articular
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease, which is a group of neurological disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells that control voluntary muscles of the body. The disorder causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body due to the degeneration of the
The UK SMA Patient Registry (https://www.treat-nmd.org.uk/registry/) is a joint venture between the John Walton Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre at Newcastle University and the patient group SMA UK (formerly known as the Jennifer Trust, then SMA Support UK). SMA UK is a UK national charity
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic, neurodegenerative disease that begins in adulthood, progressive, unexplained. Brain stem degeneration is thought to play a role in respiratory symptoms such as stridor, sleep-related respiratory disturbances and respiratory failure in MSA patients.
SMA is an autosomal-recessive disorder, characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy with an incidence of 1/10,000. The condition is caused by a homozygous deletion or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1), resulting in reduced expression of the survival motor neuron (SMN)
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the most common sports injuries. Surgical procedure is usually performed after injury. After ACL surgery, patients experience problems such as pain, impaired knee function, and especially quadriceps muscle weakness and atrophy. Quadriceps atrophy
Introduction:
Musculoskeletal injuries are a major cost to the healthcare system. In 2004, 30% of the North American population had some kind of musculoskeletal disorder that required medical treatment; between 2002 and 2004, the estimated cost of treating these changes was $ 510 billion. Shoulder
SMA is an autosomal-recessive disorder, characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy with an incidence of 1/10,000. The condition is caused by a homozygous deletion or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1), resulting in reduced expression of the survival motor neuron (SMN)
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess the impact of a short-duration respiratory muscle training (RMT) program on respiratory muscle strength in patients undergoing resection for lung cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Compare the extent of diaphragm atrophy and catabolic/anabolic pathway activation between
The aging of the population and the increase in longevity are associated with societal issues, both in terms of costs, and the health resources needed to meet the needs of seniors. Moreover, it is recognized that frail elderly people (defined as at risk of developing or aggravating functional
