Purpose To examine the perspectives of wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (WUSCI) regarding their participation in a 16-week walking program using wearable robotic exoskeleton (WRE); and explore concerns expectations potential use this device intervention context home or community-based adapted physical activity program.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is widely recommended to improve functional status and as secondary tertiary prevention in individuals with chronic pulmonary diseases. Unfortunately, access timely appropriate remains limited. To help close this inaccessibility gap, telerehabilitation has been proposed. However, exercise testing necessary for effective safe prescription. Current gold-standard tests, such maximal cardiopulmonary (CPET) the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), are poorly adapted home-based or...

We evaluated near adult statural outcome of treating growth hormone (GH) deficient children (peak GH values <10 ng/ml) with myelomeningocele (MMC) 0.3 mg/kg/week recombinant human GH. Retrospective evaluation 20 patients (12 males) who were consistently measured using recumbent length and had achieved more than 90% their stature on treatment included. Pretreatment scoliosis was present in 13 (<30 degrees); 16 lumbar level lesion, while four sacral lesion; 19 a ventriculoperitoneal shunt....
The 6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test is proposed to easily and rapidly assess aerobic fitness among long-term (≥3 mos) manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury. However, responses this test have not been established. This study aimed (1) characterize during the Test, (2) establish parallel reliability between Maximal Arm Crank Ergometer (3) quantify strength of association total distance traveled peak oxygen consumption.Twenty a injury completed both tests. Aerobic parameters...
Abstract Background Knee disorders are highly prevalent and may be a disabling condition. An accurate diagnosis is necessary to guide toward rapid efficient management of knee disorders. However, the ability make valid often complex for clinicians evidence mainly focused on clinician cognitive biases or errors produced during clinical reasoning. The aim this secondary exploratory analysis identify patient-specific characteristics associated with diagnostic discordance between health care...

BACKGROUND: Physical activity as one of the major lifestyle-related health determinants is partially addressed by Montreal Walking Exoskeleton Satisfaction and Perspectives-Questionnaire (MWESP-Q). OBJECTIVE: To document satisfaction people with chronic spinal cord injury after completion a 10 to 16 weeks wearable robotic exoskeleton-assisted walking program, MWESP-Q updated context promotion. METHODS: Following program (10–16 weeks), wheelchair users SCI completed online. Modification...
Objectives: To measure the potential effects of an overground exoskeleton-assisted walking programme on upper limb strength and mass, as well wheelchair propulsion performances abilities in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury. Design: Prospective, single-group, pre–post intervention study. Participants: Ten (≥ 18 months) injury who use a their primary mode locomotion had little-to-no motor function lower limbs. Methods: Individuals completed progressive 16-week (34 × 1-h sessions,...
BACKGROUND: Lower extremity weight bearing is a key determinant in maintaining bone density and strength. Approximately 60% of individuals with chronic spinal cord injury use wheelchair long-term as their primary mode locomotion—leading to substantial reduction lower bearing. Unfortunately, this contributes the development severe sub-lesional osteoporosis, particularly at femur tibia, fragility fracture rates twice those reported among general population. Overground exoskeleton-assisted...
Background As many as 60% of individuals use a wheelchair long term after spinal cord injury (SCI). This mode locomotion leads to chronic decline in lower-extremity weight-bearing activities and contributes the development severe sublesional osteoporosis high rates fragility fracture. Overground exoskeleton-assisted walking programs provide novel opportunity increase weight bearing, with potential improve bone health. Objective The aim study is measure effects an program on strength...
Abstract Objective: The current study aimed to assess the relationship between protein intake and bone parameters among dynapenic-obese older adults. Design: is a secondary analysis with an posteriori exploratory design. Setting: Subjects were recruited from community via social communication (flyers meetings in centres) Great Montreal area. Participants: Twenty-six subjects divided into two groups according their usual intake: PROT−: < 1 g/kg per d ( n 13; women: 53·8 %; 66·5 sd 3·3)...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> In wheelchair users with a chronic spinal cord injury (WU<sub>SCI</sub>), prolonged nonactive sitting time and reduced physical activity—typically linked to this mode of mobility—contribute the development or exacerbation cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, endocrine-metabolic health complications that are often increased risks pain psychological morbidity. Limited evidence suggests engaging in walking program wearable robotic exoskeleton may be...
