Study Design. Retrospective study. Objective. To investigate the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) during pregnancy and persistent low back pelvic pain (LBPP) after delivery. Summary of Background Data. Persistent LBPP delivery is a risk factor for developing depression chronic as well incurring sick leave. Women experience pregnancy. Excessive places greater burden on musculoskeletal system. However, little known about how GWG associated with Methods. After Ethics Committee...

Aim The oral health status of elderly adults has implications for general problems. Polypharmacy is associated with an increased risk potentially inappropriate medicines and many adverse drug events; however, no report shown that polypharmacy itself complex This study aimed to determine the association between in patients admitted recovery rehabilitation ward. Methods cross‐sectional included 471 (age: 81.9 ± 7.7 years, women: n = 346). Oral was measured using Health Assessment Tool poor...

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment of heart failure (HF) with ventricular dyssynchrony, but not all patients respond to a similar extent. We investigated the efficacy and safety exercise training (ET) in without response CRT.

Background: A substantial number of women have postpartum lumbopelvic pain (LBPP). Additionally, many stay for long inactivity. Therefore, we examined the impact sedentary behavior on persistent LBPP and difference in this due to parity. Materials Methods: This cohort study followed up who had reported at 4 months divided them into presence or absence 10 postpartum. Sedentary time physical activity were assessed using International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form. Univariate...

This study elucidated the effects of exercise training on physical activity, 6-min walk distance, and all-cause hospitalization rates in patients with chronic heart failure, evaluated factors contributing to changes activity.Prospective cohort observational study.Patients (n =62) who completed an programme after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy treatment between May 2017 2018 were included. Patients exercised for 20-50 min 3-5 times weekly 3 months...

Background: Outdoor play (OP), which is considered important for children’s development, declining every year. Perceived physical competence (PPC) a vital factor that promotes activity such as OP, sports clubs, etc., but the relationship between PPC and OP was unknown. The purpose of this research to investigate in children consider whether there were any sex-specific changes. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted Japan with 288 (134 girls, age: 10.6 ± 1.01 years). assessed using an...

Abstract Background Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is among the most effective treatment options for patients with severe heart failure. Although previous studies have examined factors related to peak oxygen uptake (peak VO 2 ), they were limited by few involved and their focus on medical physical functions. Therefore, this study comprehensively associated , which an important prognostic factor in implantable LVADs. Methods Eighty‐nine who underwent initial LVAD eligible...

Although depressive symptoms are associated with an increased risk of readmission after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, it is unclear whether they affect the efficacy exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR). This study aimed to investigate effect on EBCR efficacy.We analyzed 48 patients who participated in LVAD implantation (mean age 45 ± 12 years; 60% male). Patients were classified into two groups using Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS): group (SDS ≥40, n =...

Although cardiac rehabilitation is recommended for patients early after heart transplantation (HTx), adequate exercise effect cannot always be obtained, partly because in with chronic failure, capacity reduced due to malnutrition while waiting HTx. This study aimed investigate the relationships between and clinical variables, including nutritional indicators, HTx.Forty-three HTx recipients were studied. The mean age at was 38 ± 14 years, 86% male. We assessed peak oxygen uptake (VO2 ) plasma...

This study aimed to investigate whether longitudinal changes in exercise capacity patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) differ by sex and clarified what contributed these differences.We retrospectively examined the differences each variable between men women 156 AMI (mean age: 65 ± 12 years; 82.0% male) who participated a 3-month cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program could be followed-up for 12-months after onset. Sex-related change peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) at baseline,...
