This document systematically reviewed 15 studies on physical therapy interventions for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The review found that strength training can increase muscle strength initially but strength declines more slowly than the natural course of the disease. Respiratory exercise training may improve muscle endurance and pulmonary function, particularly in patients with higher baseline function. Low frequency electrical stimulation was found to mildly improve muscle strength in younger patients and delay progressive muscle weakness. The review recommends beginning physical therapy as early as possible and more studies on functional outcomes and quality of life.

This study examined the short-term effects of a Tai Chi class on the subjective well-being of 13 patients referred to an exercise referral scheme. Participants completed questionnaires before and after the class measuring positive well-being, psychological distress, and fatigue. Results showed statistically significant improvements in positive well-being after the class. The mean rating of perceived exertion corresponded to moderate physical activity. The study concludes that Tai Chi had positive psychological effects and could be included as an activity in exercise referral schemes.
Hemiparesis
This document outlines research on physical therapy treatments for upper limb hemiparesis following stroke. It discusses bimanual task research which found that such tasks can increase functional use of the paretic arm by providing feedback to the central nervous system. Mirror therapy research is also summarized, finding that having patients watch movements of their unaffected limb can improve outcomes like function and sensation more than conventional therapy alone. The document provides guidance on evaluating the quality of research studies.
LSVT Berlin Study
This study compared the effects of three exercise interventions on motor performance in patients with Parkinson's disease: LSVT1BIG therapy, Nordic walking, and unsupervised home exercises. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to one of the three groups. The LSVT1BIG group showed a significant mean improvement of 25.05 points on the UPDRS motor score, while the Nordic walking and home exercise groups showed little to no change or mild deterioration. LSVT1BIG therapy was also superior in tests of timed up-and-go and timed 10m walking. There were no significant differences between groups for quality of life. The results provide evidence that LSVT1BIG is an effective technique for improving motor function

This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of exercise interventions on health-related quality of life for cancer survivors. The review included 40 randomized controlled trials with 3,694 participants. The results showed positive trends for exercise improving depression and body image, but no evidence of effects for other quality of life domains like physical functioning. However, the results must be interpreted cautiously due to heterogeneity in exercise programs and quality of life measures across studies. Further research is still needed to determine optimal exercise modes, intensities, frequencies and durations for different cancer types and treatments.
PT Internship
The document provides information about an internship at Synergy Physical Therapy located in Hackettstown, NJ. It describes the roles and responsibilities of PT interns which include shadowing therapists, assisting patients, and performing modalities like electrical stimulation and ultrasound. Treatment techniques discussed include Graston, dry needling, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and laser therapy. It also presents three case studies of patients the intern has treated for issues like knee osteoarthritis, neuropathy from cancer treatment, and shoulder impingement.
Effects of Strength Training in Multiple sclerosis patients
1) A systematic review of 4 randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of progressive resistance training (PRT) in patients with multiple sclerosis found that PRT can improve muscle strength and size.
2) Meta-analysis of the 3 studies measuring leg strength showed a significant mean increase in strength for patients undergoing PRT compared to controls.
3) While the studies had some limitations, overall they provide evidence that PRT can provide health benefits for MS patients and help increase muscle strength and size. Larger and higher quality studies are still needed.
Stroke
This study compared the effects of task specific strength training (TSST) and resistance training (RT) on lower limb strength and function in 30 hemiparetic patients. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either TSST or RT for 45 minutes, 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Both groups showed improvements in timed up and go test (TUG) scores and hand held dynamometer (HHD) measurements of muscle strength after the intervention. However, the group that received TSST showed greater improvements in lower limb strength and function compared to the group that received RT.

Abstract:
Context: Recent studies provide ample evidence of the benefits of yoga in various chronic disorders. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and Sandler coined the term “Diabetic Lung" for the abnormal pulmonary function detected in diabetic patients due underlying pulmonary dysfunction. Yoga therapy may help in achieving better pulmonary function along with enhanced glycaemic control and overall health benefits.
Aim: To study the effect of adjuvant yoga therapy in diabetic lung through spirometry.
Settings and Design: Randomized control trial done as interdisciplinary collaborative work between Yoga Therapy, Pulmonary Medicine and Endocrinology departments of MGMC & RI, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth Puducherry.
Materials and Methods: 72 patients of diabetic lung as confirmed by spirometry (<70% of expected) were randomized and divided equally into control group who received only standard medical treatment and yoga group who received yoga training thrice weekly for 4 months along with that. Yoga therapy protocol included yogic counseling, preparatory practices, Asanas or static postures, Pranayama or breathing techniques and relaxation techniques. Hathenas of the Gitananda Yoga tradition were the main practices used. Spirometry was done at the end of the study period. Data was analyzed by Student’s paired and unpaired ’t’ test as it passed normality.
Results: There was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in weight, BMI along with a significant (p < 0.01) improvement in pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC) in yoga group as compared to control group where parameters worsened over study period.
Conclusion: It is concluded from the present RCT that yoga has a definite role as an adjuvant therapy as it enhances standard medical care and hence is even more significant in routine clinical management of diabetes, improving physical condition and pulmonary function.

Fit Bit Poster-36x48inches
This study examined the feasibility of using Fitbit Flex activity trackers in a 7-week walking program for 12 individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD). Participants received weekly step count goals and meetings to discuss physical activity. Most participants increased daily step counts, and reported improvements in performance and satisfaction with activities. While no changes in body composition were found, participants identified the Fitbit, step count increases, and praise as motivators for physical activity. Medication side effects were the primary barrier reported. The study demonstrates that wearable trackers may help track and encourage walking in individuals with SSD.
Effectiveness of RPG for the low back pain
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) program compared to a Stabilization Exercise (SE) program for patients with persistent low back pain. 100 patients were assigned to either the GPR group or SE group. Outcome measures including disability questionnaires and pain/mobility scales were measured at baseline and 3 and 6 month follow-ups. Results showed significantly greater improvements in all outcome measures in the GPR group compared to the SE group at both short-term and mid-term follow-ups. The GPR intervention was found to be more effective for reducing pain and disability in patients with persistent low back pain.

This study compared the aerobic capacity, as measured by VO2 Max values, of normal females versus hypotensive females. Seventy females participated in the study. VO2 Max values were indirectly assessed by having participants complete the Queen's College step test. The results found that normal individuals had higher VO2 Max values than hypotensive individuals, indicating better cardiorespiratory fitness. This difference could be because hypotensive individuals more easily fatigue and cannot work for long periods, resulting in lower VO2 Max values. Further research with larger populations is needed.

The aim of this study was to find out the effect of resistance training on flexibility of male college hostel students. Twenty male hostel students (n=20) were randomly selected from the Government Degree College, Anantnag. The ages were ranged between 18 and 22 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups as training group (TG) control group (CG). The training group (TG) underwent respective resistance training programme for twelve weeks duration for three days per week and a session on each day. The control group (CG) did not expose any special training apart from their regular activities. The flexibility was taken as a dependant variable for the study and it was measured by using sit and reach test. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the collected data. The result revealed that resistance training was made significant improvement (p≤0.05) in Physical Fitness of selected subjects. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 levels.Exercícios controle motor e lombalgia
This meta-analysis reviewed 16 randomized controlled trials comparing the effectiveness of motor control exercises (MCE) to other treatments for chronic or recurrent low back pain. The analysis found that MCE was superior to general exercise in reducing both disability in the short, intermediate, and long term, and pain in the short and intermediate term. MCE was also superior to minimal interventions like advice or placebo for both pain and disability outcomes at all time periods. Compared to spinal manual therapy, MCE demonstrated superior results for reducing disability but not pain. The studies varied in quality but provided evidence that MCE can better improve pain and disability for low back pain over the short to long term compared to other common treatments.
Chronic low-back pain
This document discusses effective physical treatments for chronic low back pain. It finds that exercise is one of the few clearly effective treatments, with systematic reviews finding exercise reduces pain and disability. While exercise is effective, the optimal implementation is unclear. Two example programs discussed are group general exercise and individually supervised specific spinal stabilization exercise. The document also discusses laser therapy for chronic back pain, but notes no systematic review has evaluated its efficacy.

This study aims to reduce gait disabilities in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have a history of freezing of gait (FOG) through a home-based stationary bike exercise program. Thirty individuals with PD will participate, with 15 having a history of FOG. Participants will complete testing both off and on medication and then exercise 3 times per week for 3 months via telemedicine-monitored stationary biking. Testing will be repeated after to compare results between the two groups and the general and FOG populations. The goal is that regular exercise will decrease gait disabilities and motor symptoms in PD patients.
Concussion-Poster
This study examined the effects of manual therapy techniques on 5 former professional football players with histories of concussion. The players underwent cognitive, pain, and mobility tests before and after a 5-day intensive manual therapy program. The therapies aimed to address post-concussion imbalances and included craniosacral, visceral, and neuromeningeal techniques. Results showed improvements in quality of life, depression symptoms, sleep, pain levels, and range of motion. However, the small sample size and lack of controls were limitations; further research with more participants is needed to validate the findings.
IWTC in Portland, USA 2006
This study examined whether early improvement in neck function predicted overall response to a cervical strengthening program for chronic neck pain. 214 patients completed a 3-week strengthening program and were assessed for changes in neck disability index (NDI) scores. Patients with a positive change in NDI scores after 3 weeks had a 25 times greater odds of overall improvement. Early improvement likely reflects motor skill acquisition rather than muscle hypertrophy. While early responders saw small additional gains, continued strengthening may provide further benefits like reduced muscle co-activation.

This randomized controlled trial compared supervised exercise (SE), stent revascularization (ST), and optimal medical care (OMC) in patients with claudication due to aortoiliac peripheral artery disease. At 6 months, SE resulted in better treadmill walking performance than ST, but ST led to better patient-reported quality of life. At 18 months, treadmill walking improved most for SE, more for ST, and least for OMC, while quality of life gains were similar for SE and ST and less for OMC. The study concludes that SE provides durable and comparable benefits to ST for up to a year after completion of supervised training.
Recent advances on back school
This document summarizes and compares different models of back schools for treating chronic low back pain. It discusses the original Swedish back school model and how various programs have modified the content, format, and length. Several recent randomized controlled trials that compared different back school models to other treatments are highlighted. The studies found that back schools based on biopsychosocial principles led to better long-term outcomes than traditional models. Spinal manipulation was also found to result in lower disability scores compared to back school or individual physiotherapy. Overall, back schools may be considered as part of multidisciplinary treatment, though more research is still needed.
UPDRS Poster
The document discusses the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), which is commonly used to assess Parkinson's disease. It was updated in 2007 to be more comprehensive and sensitive. The MDS-UPDRS includes four parts that assess non-motor symptoms, motor function in daily living, motor examination, and motor complications. Part III, the motor examination, is often used to measure disease progression over time. The document provides details on several items in Part III to describe what clinicians evaluate.
Effect of pilates ingles
1) Thirty 11-year-old girls participated in a study examining the effects of a 4-week Pilates intervention on body composition. Girls in the intervention group attended hourly Pilates classes 5 days a week while the control group engaged in normal after-school activities.
2) Results showed the intervention group had a significant reduction in BMI percentile compared to the control group. This effect was influenced by reductions in healthy girls with lower initial BMI values.
3) Girls enjoyed the Pilates classes and had high average attendance. The study suggests Pilates may be an effective way to increase physical activity and lower BMI in girls. However, larger and longer studies are still needed.

This pilot study evaluated the effects of 8 weeks of teriparatide (TPTD) versus placebo treatment on bone biomarkers, structure, and stress fracture healing in premenopausal women with lower-extremity stress fractures. The study found that TPTD treatment led to greater increases in bone formation markers and a larger "anabolic window" compared to placebo. TPTD treatment also showed improvements in bone structure at weight-bearing sites on imaging. A higher percentage of stress fractures showed improvement or healing with TPTD versus placebo on MRI, though the results were not statistically significant. The study provides preliminary evidence that TPTD may help hasten stress fracture healing in premenopausal women.

Se qigong
Qigong is a system of techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine to cultivate the flow of qi (vital energy) in the body for health purposes. It involves physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. Early forms date back thousands of years in China. While some preliminary studies show benefits for conditions like cancer, pain, and hypertension, many studies have inconclusive results due to small sample sizes and lack of controls. More research is still needed to fully understand qigong's health effects and identify best practices.

High-velocity muscular power training can improve functional outcomes in older adults according to a systematic review. The review examined 8 studies with 328 total participants comparing high-velocity training to no training or traditional resistance training. High-velocity training focused on exercises using maximum intended movement velocity, especially for the lower limbs. Various functional outcome measures showed small to large improvements, such as increased walking and stair climbing speed. However, some studies noted potential safety issues like injuries that could be prevented with proper pre-conditioning and exercise selection.

The Use of Electro-Acupuncture in Conjunction with
Exercise for the Treatment of Chronic Low-Back Pain
CECILIA K.N. YEUNG, M.Sc.,1,2 MASON C.P. LEUNG, Ph.D.,1
and DANIEL H.K. CHOW, Ph.D.3
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To determine the effect of a series of electro-acupuncture (EA) treatment in con-
junction with exercise on the pain, disability, and functional improvement scores of patients with
chronic low-back pain (LBP).
Design: A blinded prospective randomized controlled study.
Subjects and interventions: A total of 52 patients were randomly allocated to an exercise
group (n � 26) or an exercise plus EA group (n � 26) and treated for 12 sessions.
Outcome measures: Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Aberdeen LBP scale, lumbar spinal active
range of movement (AROM), and the isokinetic strength were assessed by a blinded observer.
Repeated measures analysis of variance (R-ANOVA) with factors of group and time was used
to compare the outcomes between the two groups at baseline (before treatment), immediately
after treatment, 1-month follow-up, and 3-month follow-up. The level of significance was set at
p � 0.05.
Results: Significantly better scores in the NRS and Aberdeen LBP scale were found in the ex-
ercise plus EA group immediately after treatment and at 1-month follow-up. Higher scores were
also seen at 3-month follow-up. No significant differences were observed in spinal AROM and
isokinetic trunk concentric strength between the two groups at any stage of follow-up.
Conclusions: This study provides additional data on the potential role of EA in the treatment
of LBP, and indicates that the combination of EA and back exercise might be an effective option
in the treatment of pain and disability associated with chronic LBP.

INTRODUCTION
Low-back pain (LBP) is a major health andeconomic problem in Western countries
(van Tulder et al., 1997). At any given time,
some 31 million people in the United States
have low-back pain (LBP; Jensen et al., 1994),
and one half of the working population in the
United States have back symptoms each year
(Vallfors, 1985). Other studies have put the an-
nual incidence in the United States as high as
70% (National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health, 1997). In a local survey, 39% of
adults in Hong Kong reported that they had
had at least one episode of LBP since birth (Lau
et al., 1995), and a telephone survey reported
that the cumulative life prevalence and the 12-
month prevalence of LBP in the Hong Kong

This meta-analysis reviewed 16 randomized controlled trials comparing the effectiveness of motor control exercises (MCE) to other treatments for chronic or recurrent low back pain. The analysis found that MCE was superior to general exercise in reducing both disability in the short, intermediate, and long term, and pain in the short and intermediate term. MCE was also superior to minimal interventions like advice or placebo for both pain and disability outcomes at all time periods. Compared to spinal manual therapy, MCE demonstrated superior results for reducing disability but not pain. The studies varied in quality but provided evidence that MCE can better improve pain and disability for low back pain over the short to long term compared to other common treatments.
Chronic low-back pain
This document discusses effective physical treatments for chronic low back pain. It finds that exercise is one of the few clearly effective treatments, with systematic reviews finding exercise reduces pain and disability. While exercise is effective, the optimal implementation is unclear. Two example programs discussed are group general exercise and individually supervised specific spinal stabilization exercise. The document also discusses laser therapy for chronic back pain, but notes no systematic review has evaluated its efficacy.
URS Poster 2015
This study aims to reduce gait disabilities in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have a history of freezing of gait (FOG) through a home-based stationary bike exercise program. Thirty individuals with PD will participate, with 15 having a history of FOG. Participants will complete testing both off and on medication and then exercise 3 times per week for 3 months via telemedicine-monitored stationary biking. Testing will be repeated after to compare results between the two groups and the general and FOG populations. The goal is that regular exercise will decrease gait disabilities and motor symptoms in PD patients.
Concussion-Poster
This study examined the effects of manual therapy techniques on 5 former professional football players with histories of concussion. The players underwent cognitive, pain, and mobility tests before and after a 5-day intensive manual therapy program. The therapies aimed to address post-concussion imbalances and included craniosacral, visceral, and neuromeningeal techniques. Results showed improvements in quality of life, depression symptoms, sleep, pain levels, and range of motion. However, the small sample size and lack of controls were limitations; further research with more participants is needed to validate the findings.
IWTC in Portland, USA 2006
This study examined whether early improvement in neck function predicted overall response to a cervical strengthening program for chronic neck pain. 214 patients completed a 3-week strengthening program and were assessed for changes in neck disability index (NDI) scores. Patients with a positive change in NDI scores after 3 weeks had a 25 times greater odds of overall improvement. Early improvement likely reflects motor skill acquisition rather than muscle hypertrophy. While early responders saw small additional gains, continued strengthening may provide further benefits like reduced muscle co-activation.

This randomized controlled trial compared supervised exercise (SE), stent revascularization (ST), and optimal medical care (OMC) in patients with claudication due to aortoiliac peripheral artery disease. At 6 months, SE resulted in better treadmill walking performance than ST, but ST led to better patient-reported quality of life. At 18 months, treadmill walking improved most for SE, more for ST, and least for OMC, while quality of life gains were similar for SE and ST and less for OMC. The study concludes that SE provides durable and comparable benefits to ST for up to a year after completion of supervised training.
Recent advances on back school
This document summarizes and compares different models of back schools for treating chronic low back pain. It discusses the original Swedish back school model and how various programs have modified the content, format, and length. Several recent randomized controlled trials that compared different back school models to other treatments are highlighted. The studies found that back schools based on biopsychosocial principles led to better long-term outcomes than traditional models. Spinal manipulation was also found to result in lower disability scores compared to back school or individual physiotherapy. Overall, back schools may be considered as part of multidisciplinary treatment, though more research is still needed.
UPDRS Poster
The document discusses the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), which is commonly used to assess Parkinson's disease. It was updated in 2007 to be more comprehensive and sensitive. The MDS-UPDRS includes four parts that assess non-motor symptoms, motor function in daily living, motor examination, and motor complications. Part III, the motor examination, is often used to measure disease progression over time. The document provides details on several items in Part III to describe what clinicians evaluate.
Effect of pilates ingles
1) Thirty 11-year-old girls participated in a study examining the effects of a 4-week Pilates intervention on body composition. Girls in the intervention group attended hourly Pilates classes 5 days a week while the control group engaged in normal after-school activities.
2) Results showed the intervention group had a significant reduction in BMI percentile compared to the control group. This effect was influenced by reductions in healthy girls with lower initial BMI values.
3) Girls enjoyed the Pilates classes and had high average attendance. The study suggests Pilates may be an effective way to increase physical activity and lower BMI in girls. However, larger and longer studies are still needed.

This pilot study evaluated the effects of 8 weeks of teriparatide (TPTD) versus placebo treatment on bone biomarkers, structure, and stress fracture healing in premenopausal women with lower-extremity stress fractures. The study found that TPTD treatment led to greater increases in bone formation markers and a larger "anabolic window" compared to placebo. TPTD treatment also showed improvements in bone structure at weight-bearing sites on imaging. A higher percentage of stress fractures showed improvement or healing with TPTD versus placebo on MRI, though the results were not statistically significant. The study provides preliminary evidence that TPTD may help hasten stress fracture healing in premenopausal women.

Se qigong
Qigong is a system of techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine to cultivate the flow of qi (vital energy) in the body for health purposes. It involves physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. Early forms date back thousands of years in China. While some preliminary studies show benefits for conditions like cancer, pain, and hypertension, many studies have inconclusive results due to small sample sizes and lack of controls. More research is still needed to fully understand qigong's health effects and identify best practices.

High-velocity muscular power training can improve functional outcomes in older adults according to a systematic review. The review examined 8 studies with 328 total participants comparing high-velocity training to no training or traditional resistance training. High-velocity training focused on exercises using maximum intended movement velocity, especially for the lower limbs. Various functional outcome measures showed small to large improvements, such as increased walking and stair climbing speed. However, some studies noted potential safety issues like injuries that could be prevented with proper pre-conditioning and exercise selection.

The Use of Electro-Acupuncture in Conjunction with
Exercise for the Treatment of Chronic Low-Back Pain
CECILIA K.N. YEUNG, M.Sc.,1,2 MASON C.P. LEUNG, Ph.D.,1
and DANIEL H.K. CHOW, Ph.D.3
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To determine the effect of a series of electro-acupuncture (EA) treatment in con-
junction with exercise on the pain, disability, and functional improvement scores of patients with
chronic low-back pain (LBP).
Design: A blinded prospective randomized controlled study.
Subjects and interventions: A total of 52 patients were randomly allocated to an exercise
group (n � 26) or an exercise plus EA group (n � 26) and treated for 12 sessions.
Outcome measures: Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Aberdeen LBP scale, lumbar spinal active
range of movement (AROM), and the isokinetic strength were assessed by a blinded observer.
Repeated measures analysis of variance (R-ANOVA) with factors of group and time was used
to compare the outcomes between the two groups at baseline (before treatment), immediately
after treatment, 1-month follow-up, and 3-month follow-up. The level of significance was set at
p � 0.05.
Results: Significantly better scores in the NRS and Aberdeen LBP scale were found in the ex-
ercise plus EA group immediately after treatment and at 1-month follow-up. Higher scores were
also seen at 3-month follow-up. No significant differences were observed in spinal AROM and
isokinetic trunk concentric strength between the two groups at any stage of follow-up.
Conclusions: This study provides additional data on the potential role of EA in the treatment
of LBP, and indicates that the combination of EA and back exercise might be an effective option
in the treatment of pain and disability associated with chronic LBP.

INTRODUCTION
Low-back pain (LBP) is a major health andeconomic problem in Western countries
(van Tulder et al., 1997). At any given time,
some 31 million people in the United States
have low-back pain (LBP; Jensen et al., 1994),
and one half of the working population in the
United States have back symptoms each year
(Vallfors, 1985). Other studies have put the an-
nual incidence in the United States as high as
70% (National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health, 1997). In a local survey, 39% of
adults in Hong Kong reported that they had
had at least one episode of LBP since birth (Lau
et al., 1995), and a telephone survey reported
that the cumulative life prevalence and the 12-
month prevalence of LBP in the Hong Kong

Strength Training Draft
The study examined the differences in muscle hypertrophy between experienced (EXP) and inexperienced (INEXP) strength trainers over 12 weeks. 70 college students were divided into EXP and INEXP groups. Participants performed exercises 3 days/week and maximum weight lifted was measured at weeks 0, 6, and 12.
For the bench press, leg extension, and leg curl exercises, some groups saw significant differences between EXP and INEXP participants. For the bench press, Group 1-1 saw EXP lift 9.2 lbs more than INEXP from weeks 0-6. For the leg extension, Group 1-1 saw INEXP lift 14.8 lbs more than EXP from weeks 0-6, and Group 3
Down Syndrome study analysis
This document analyzes a study that examined the effects of a 28-week aerobic training program on 12 obese adult males with Down syndrome. The study measured submaximal and maximal aerobic capacity, as well as locomotor economy, before and after the training. It found that maximal aerobic capacity and time to exhaustion significantly increased after training. Body composition also improved, with decreased body fat percentage and increased fat-free mass. However, submaximal aerobic capacity and locomotor economy did not significantly change. The document concludes the study provides evidence that physical activity can improve cardiovascular fitness and body composition for individuals with Down syndrome.

This study examined the effects of cold water immersion (CWI), thermoneutral water immersion placebo (TWP), and thermoneutral water immersion control (TWI) on recovery from high-intensity interval training. Thirty males performed interval sprints followed by 15 minutes of one of the three recovery conditions. The study found that ratings of readiness for exercise, pain, and vigor were significantly better in CWI and TWP compared to TWI, but similar between CWI and TWP. This suggests that the benefits of CWI may be partly due to the placebo effect rather than just physiological factors.

A CWI placebo is also as effective as
CWI itself in the recovery of muscle strength over 48 h.
This can likely be attributed to improved subjective ratings
of pain and readiness for exercise, suggesting that the hy-
pothesized physiological benefits surrounding CWI may
be at least partly placebo related.
Intensive therapy
Intensive therapy involves 45-60 hours of therapy over 3-4 weeks, with sessions lasting 3-4 hours per day. It uses strength training and repetitive movements to improve functional mobility. Therapy is broken into preparation and secondary phases, and patients are given home exercise programs. Studies show intensive therapy can improve gross motor skills in patients with neurological and orthopedic conditions, though more research is still needed.

IARS Poster
This systematic review examined the effects of yoga on chronic low back pain. It analyzed data from 17 studies that met criteria for inclusion. The review found that yoga was associated with reductions in patient-reported pain scores over various time periods. Specifically, yoga was linked to a 38.3% reduction in pain scores after 1-2 weeks, up to a 56.2% reduction after 24-26 weeks. While the evidence was mixed in quality, the studies consistently showed yoga reducing pain scores according to an exponential decay model over time. More high-quality research is still needed to better understand yoga's long-term impact on chronic low back pain.
To Compare The Effect Of Core Stability Exercises And Muscle Energy Technique...
Abstract: Low back pain is considered one of the commonest condition in the western and industrialized
countries. It is estimated that up to 50% of adults experience low back pain during their life span. People of all
age group can be effected by this menace irrespective to their gender and quality of life. It has become one of
the leading causes for the visit to physician thus also puts a heavy burden on the currency of the country.
Physiotherapy is the most widely used form of treatment adopted for gaining relief from low back pain. The
exercises include stretching, strengthening, range of motion exercises, McKenzie therapy and core stability
exercises other techniques like muscle energy technique etc. It has been concluded in various studies core
stability exercises and muscle energy technique are beneficial in low back pain patients but comparison of their
effect needs to be established to provide early and better relief from the disability. Therefore objective of the
study was to compare the effect of core stability exercises and muscle energy techniques on low back pain
patients. 60 subjects aged 18 – 45 years with low back pain were made part of the study based on inclusion and
exclusion criteria and were then divided into three groups named A, B and C. Group A received core stability
exercise and conventional physiotheraphy and group B received muscle energy techniques and conventional
physiotherapy. The exercise program was given on alternate days with a total of 24 sessions and progression of
the activity was made within the tolerance of the patient. Pre and post treatment readings were taken of pain,
ROM and quality of life scale. Results were analyzed using paired, unpaired t- test and ANOVA. Results showed
that there is significant effect on pain, ROM and quality of life scale in the three groups but group A was
clinically more significant than the other groups. The study concluded that patients with low back pain are
benefitted more by core stability exercises. So, core stability exercises should be practiced more.

This study aimed to determine the positive effects of resistance training in patients with chronic heart failure and inspiratory muscle weakness. 16 patients underwent a 3-month resistance training program or served as controls. Resistance training improved skeletal and respiratory muscle function, functional capacity, cardiac function, dyspnea, and quality of life. It increased muscle strength, endurance, and exercise performance. Resistance training is an effective rehabilitation strategy for improving outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure.

The rationale of the study is to investigate the changes on muscular endurance in response to aerobic and
anaerobic training among type 2 diabetic patients. To achieve the purpose of the study 45 male type 2
diabetic patients from Ongole, in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, India, were selected as subjects.
The subjects were selected in the age group of 45 to 50 years and they were randomly assigned into three
equal groups of 15 each. Experimental group-I performed aerobic training, experimental group-II
performed anaerobic training and group III acted as control. The muscular endurance was selected as
dependent variable. The data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation on
selected dependent variable was statistically analyzed to find out the significant difference if any, by
applying the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio value was found to be
significant for adjusted post-test means, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test. In all the cases the
level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for significance. The result of the study produced 20.48%
percentage of improvement due to aerobic training and 15.32% of improvement due to anaerobic training
in muscular endurance of the diabetic patients
Meditation As A Medication 2
1. The document discusses the use of yoga as an alternative or complementary treatment to standardized pharmaceutical therapies for mental illnesses like depression and anxiety.
2. Several research studies presented in the document found that yoga led to reductions in heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones as well as improvements in immune functioning and psychological well-being.
3. The document argues that yoga engages the body's natural healing system and treats the underlying causes of illness rather than just suppressing symptoms like many pharmaceutical therapies.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
