Frailty recommendations and guidelines: an evaluation of the implementability and a critical appraisal of clinical applicability by the ISPRM Frailty Focus Group
CONCLUSIONS: The WHO Guidelines on Integrated Care for Older people (24) the ICFSR International Clinical Practice Guidelines for Identification and management of Frailty (15), the FOCUS guidelines (25) and the Asia Pacific Clinical Practice Guidelines (14) for the Management of Frailty have the best quality and applicability of the existing guidelines on the management of frailty, we suggest that should be employed to define the standards of care for patients with frailty. There are barriers for their implementation, as stated by our experts, to take into account, and some of them are country- or region-specific. Screenin...

Diabetes is associated with longitudinal declined physical performance measures in persons with or at risk of knee osteoarthritis: data from the osteoarthritis initiative
CONCLUSIONS: DM was associated with negative impact on Gait Speed and Repeated Chair Stand Test time in individuals with or at risk of knee OA. Individuals with knee OA and diabetes who exhibit declining physical performance measures are at risk of functional dependence, reduced quality of life, and complex rehabilitation requirements.PMID:38647532 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08034-1 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Effectiveness of the online-based comprehensive cognitive training application, Smart Brain, for community-dwelling older adults with dementia: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Smart Brain significantly improved cognitive function, reduced depression, and enhanced physical and nutritional status in older adults with dementia. This demonstrates its potential as an effective non-pharmacological intervention in community-based dementia care.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Smart Brain's personalized approach, which integrates user-specific preferences and expert guidance, enhances engagement and goal achievement in dementia care. This enhances self-esteem and clinical outcomes, demonstrates the application's potential to innovate rehabilitation practices.PMID:38647533 | DOI:10.23736/S197...

How robot-assisted gait training affects gait ability, balance and kinematic parameters after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the review synthesis showed that RAGT might have a potential role in the recovery of walking dysfunction after stroke. However, its superiority over conventional rehabilitation requires further research. Additionally, it may provide unexpected benefits that the effects of RAGT with different types or treatment protocols were further compared.PMID:38647534 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08354-0 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Can cerebellar theta-burst stimulation improve balance function and gait in stroke patients? A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Physical therapy is able to improve the functional recovery in hemiplegic patients after stroke, but the cerebellar iTBS can facilitate and accelerate the recovery, particularly the balance function and gait. Cerebellar iTBS could be an efficient and facilitative treatment for patients with stroke.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Cerebellar iTBS provides a convenient and efficient treatment modality for functional recovery of patients with stroke, especially balance function and gait.PMID:38577727 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08307-2 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)
