Exercise-based rehabilitation is already a part of cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment; however, patient adherence low.To assess the effectiveness home exercise programme using active video games (AVGs) as training modality for children and adolescents with CF.Thirty-nine CF were randomised to control group (CG, n = 20, age 11 ± 6 years; FEV1 86.2 20.5% predicted) or (AVGG, 19, 13 3 82.7 21.7% predicted). The protocol consisted 30- 60-min sessions, 5 days/week, weeks Nintendo Wii™ platform....

This study compares the effects of two resistance training programs in peripheral and respiratory musculature on muscle mass strength physical performance identifies appropriate parameter for assessing intervention effects. Thirty-seven institutionalized older Spanish adults with sarcopenia were analyzed: control group (n = 17), 9), 11). Measured outcomes appendicular skeletal (ASM/height2, ASM/weight, ASM/BMI), isometric knee extension, arm flexion handgrip strength, maximal inspiratory...

Background: In older adults, respiratory function may be seriously compromised when a marked decrease of muscle (RM) strength coexists with comorbidity and activity limitation. Respiratory training has been widely studied recommended as treatment option for people who are unable to participate in whole-body exercise (WBET); however, the effects inspiratory yoga breathing exercises on RM remain unknown, specifically impaired adults. Purpose: To evaluate threshold (ITT) (YRT) institutionalized...

Recently, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) has updated sarcopenia definition based objective evaluation of muscle strength, mass and physical performance. The aim this study was to analyse relationship between clinical aspects such as functionality, comorbidity, polypharmacy, hospitalisations falls order support screening institutionalised older adults, well estimate prevalence population using EWGSOP2 new algorithm. A multicentre cross-sectional conducted...

To evaluate the repercussion of different physical therapy interventions on perceived health status chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients during acute exacerbation.Randomized controlled trial. Patients were assigned to: control group (standard medical treatment), breathing + range motion exercises or Resistance group. Perceived was assessed at baseline and discharge using EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) questionnaire. Clinical profile evaluated for descriptive purposes.Ninety randomized...

Aim The aim of this study was to assess the internal consistency, hypothesis testing and criterion‐related validity Spanish versions Kihon Checklist (KCL) – original 25‐item reduced 15‐item for screening frailty in community‐dwelling older adults. Methods A cross‐sectional carried out between March September 2018 Valencia province (Spain). sample 251 participants recruited. Construct assessed using four different instruments, alternative measures corresponding KCL domains (handgrip strength,...

Abstract Background Since anthropometric variables are critical to the creation of pulmonary nomograms for FVC, FEV1, and other volumes capacities, it is logical that also influence values maximal respiratory pressures (MRPs). race‐specific, important tribe‐specific tables normal inspiratory pressure (MIP) expiratory (MEP) be developed. To date MRPs do not exist Navajo children. Objective Therefore purpose this study was derive MRP normative reference children in age range 6–14 years....

Recently the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) has updated diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia, which consist of one or more measures muscle strength, mass, and physical performance, plus an initial screening test called SARC-F. The main objective was to compare number cases using different measurements options. A cross-sectional study conducted Spanish older adults (n = 272, 72% women). Combining proposed by steps described EWGSOP2 algorithm, 12 options were...

Critical surgical and medical advances have shifted the focus of congenital heart disease (CHD) patients from survival to achievement a greater health-related quality life (HRQoL). HRQoL is influenced, amongst other factors, by aerobic capacity respiratory muscle strength, both which are reduced in CHD patients. This study evaluates influence cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program (CPRP) on strength functional capacity. Fifteen patients, ages 12 16, with exercise testing (CPET) were enrolled...

Critical medical and surgical advances have led to a shift in the care management of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). These patients present muscle deconditioning, which negatively influences their response exercise, functional capacities, quality life. This study evaluates influence cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program (CPRP) on function peripheral musculature CHD. A single-center prospective cohort was designed. Fifteen CHD subjects, between 12 16 years age, reduced aerobic...

Introduction. Until now, there has been limited evidence, primarily from US cohorts, focusing on frailty as a patient-oriented outcome after liver transplantation (LT). Our study aimed to explore the relationship between pre- and post-LT in multicenter European cohort of outpatients with cirrhosis undergoing LT. Methods. We conducted prospective analysis data 180 LT recipients recruited 2018 2020 5 Spanish centers. Participants underwent objective subjective assessments using Liver Frailty...

The quantity and quality of research in physiotherapy has increased exponentially during the past decades. However, retrieving publications associated with this field is difficult. aim study to identify describe controlled clinical trials (CCT) published Spanish journals using electronic handsearching strategies.Observational through which we identified eligible order retrieve CCTs strategies, as proposed by Cochrane Collaboration. A descriptive analysis main characteristics these was...

Abstract Objectives Tracheostomy is commonly used in intensive care units and head neck departments. Airway obstruction due to occluded cuffless tracheostomy tubes themselves remains unknown, although capping trials are before decannulation. The aim of this study was evaluate the extent which airway can be caused by patients who underwent surgery. Design Prospective Research Outcome. Settings University teaching hospital. Participants Fifty requiring transient after Main outcome measures A...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the psychometric properties of Spanish versions child‐ and parent‐report cystic fibrosis questionnaire‐revised (CFQ‐R). Methods A adaptation CFQ‐R was performed; 68 children with CF (6−13 years) their parents completed CFQ‐R, respectively, Revidierter KINDer Lebensqualitätsfragebogen (KINDL) questionnaire. The twice, 7−10 days apart, its were analyzed. Results internal consistency both adequate (child‐report version, Cronbach's α >.60 for all domains except...

Abstract This study aimed to detect the functional and emotional impact of COVID‐19 lockdown on institutionalized older adults with sarcopenia during a 15‐month follow‐up. A prospective longitudinal cohort was conducted in nursing home. Participants were screened for sarcopenia, those score ≥4 points according SARC‐F questionnaire included. Assessments performed pre‐lockdown (T1), 12 months (T2) after, at follow‐up (T3). Functional measurements included chair stand test, handgrip, biceps...

La valoración por parte estudiantes aula mediante estudio piloto puso manifiesto ventajas inconvenientes...

Aim Frailty has become a current topic of debate in recent years among researchers as key concept clinical care old age. One the scales developed for its measurement is Kihon Checklist (KCL). However, dimensionality KCL not been tested yet, and therefore aim present study was to validate dimensional structure. Methods This cross‐sectional carried out between March September 2018 Valencia province (Spain). Participation voluntary. A total 251 participants were sampled. They answered...
