Despite the high level achieved in field of shoulder surgery, a global consensus on rotator cuff tears management is lacking. This work divided into two main sessions: first, we set questions about hot topics involved tears, from etiopathogenesis to surgical treatment. In second, answered these by mentioning Evidence Based Medicine. The aim present provide easily accessible guidelines: they could be considered as recommendations for good clinical practice developed through process systematic...

Background and objective Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system that can lead to severe motor disability. The aim this study was verify health care effects integrated telerehabilitation approach involving dual-domains (motor cognitive) in people with multiple using a virtual reality rehabilitation compared home-based conventional rehabilitative intervention usual for patient-relevant outcomes (motor, cognitive participation). Methods...
People with chronic neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), often present postural disorders a high risk of falling. When difficulties in achieving outpatient rehabilitation services occur, solution to guarantee the continuity care may be telerehabilitation. This study intends expand scope our previously published research on impact telerehabilitation quality life an MS sample, testing this type intervention larger sample patients also including...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and comorbidity worldwide. High blood pressure resting heart rate risk factors (or vital signs) critical to cardiovascular health, patient safety, medical management. Physiotherapists play a fundamental role in factor identification, early diagnosis, subsequent management disease. To date there is limited research Europe investigating level knowledge skills possessed by physiotherapists regarding disease screening. Three studies...
Abstract Background The Shoulder and Pain Disability Index (SPADI) is a widely used outcome measure. aim of this study to explore the reliability validity SPADI in sample patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder. Methods was administered 124 A sub-group 29 were retested after 7 days. scores correlated other measures (i.e., Disabilities Arm, Hand Questionnaire – DASH; Numerical Rating Scale—NPRS; 36-item Short Form Health Survey—SF-36) examine construct validity. Structural assessed by...
Objective: To perform a psychometric analysis of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) using Rasch in sample Italian subjects with multiple sclerosis.Methods: The 9-item FSS was administered to 156 Italianspeaking sclerosis.Responses were assessed Cronbach's alpha, item-remainder correlations, factor and analysis.Results: showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.95), but presented problems rating categories failed fit model.After re-coding deletion item 1 (infit mean-square (MnSq)...
Gait recovery is one of the main goals post-stroke rehabilitation and Robot-Assisted Training (RAGT) has shown positive outcomes. However, there a lack studies in literature comparing effects different devices. This paper aims to study effects, terms clinical gait outcomes, treadmill-based overground RAGT, compared conventional training stroke subjects. The results showed significant improvement outcomes both robotic treatments therapy. performance locomotor tasks was clinically groups only....
Background and objective: Serious pathologies of the neck can potentially result in cranial nerve palsy. Knowledge about examination (CNE) seems sparse, its use is still unknown. We aim to investigate knowledge, skills, utilization CNE Italian physiotherapists. Materials Methods: An online cross-sectional survey. Results: 396 completed survey, reaching required sample size. Although physiotherapists consider relevant (mean ± SD = 7.6/10 2.0), over half all responders (n 229 (57.8%)) were not...
COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) refers to a mainly respiratory disease, caused by new SARS-CoV-2 virus predominantly transmitted through direct or indirect contact with mucous membranes of eyes, mouth, nose. The main control measures are physical distancing, use specific protective devices, hand hygiene and disinfection environments tools. During this health emergency, telemedicine telerehabilitation guaranteed patients receive continuity care virtual support while maintaining...
High-velocity low-amplitude thrust spinal manipulation (SM) is a recommended and commonly used manual therapy intervention in physiotherapy. Beliefs surrounding the safety effectiveness of SM have challenged its use, even advocated for abandonment. Our study aimed to investigate knowledge beliefs by Italian physiotherapists compared with similar practitioners other countries.
Objective: To assess the internal construct validity, including local independence, unidimensionality, monotonicity, and invariance, reliability, targeting of Forgotten Joint Score within Rasch Measurement Theory framework. Design: Cross-sectional study. Patients: A total 111 patients with hip arthroplasty at least 3 months after surgery. Methods: The was submitted to each subject during their rehabilitative treatment in an Italian centre then analysis. Results: base analysis showed a...
Objective A shared consensus on the safety about physical agent modalities (PAMs) practice in physiotherapy and rehabilitation is lacking. We aimed to develop evidence-informed consensus-based statements of PAMs. Study design setting RAND-modified Delphi Rounds’ survey was used reach a consensus. established steering committee Italian Association Physiotherapy (Associazione Italiana di Fisioterapia) identify areas questions for developing most commonly PAMs rehabilitation. invited 28...
