Acute inpatient rehabilitation for COVID-19 survivors: A retrospective case series
CONCLUSION: Patients with COVID-19, who experienced prolonged hospital stay present with severe impairments in muscle strength, functional mobility, and participation in daily living tasks. Inpatient rehabilitation may have the potential to reduce impairments and accelerate the recovery process while managing ongoing medical issues.PMID:37184416 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2213773

Diabetes mellitus tendino-myopathy: epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and management of an overlooked diabetic complication
AbstractTendino-myopathy, an unexplored niche, is a non-vascular unstated T2DM complication, which is largely disregarded in clinical practice, thus, we aim to explore it in this review. Literature search using published data from different online resources. Epidemiologically, reported prevalence varies around 10 –90%, which is marked variable and unreliable. Clinically, diabetic tendino-myopathy is typified by restriction of movement, pain/tenderness, cramps and decreased functions. Moreover, myopathy is characterized by muscle atrophy, weakness and ischemia, and tendinopathy by deformities and reduced fu nctions/precis...

Severe onset of inflammatory myositis in a child: think to paraneoplastic myositis
ConclusionsAmong cancer-associated autoantibodies (CAAs) in adult patients, anti-TIF1- γ carries the highest risk of CAM, which recognizes with a high likelihood a paraneoplastic pathogenesis. In children, anti-TIF1-γ antibody has been associated with severe cutaneous disease, lipodystrophy, and chronic disease course, but not with CAM, which is overall rare in younger patients. Sev ere onset of a JIIM, especially if anti-TIF1-γ antibody positive, should prompt suspect of a CAM and lead to a screening for malignancy.

P150  Hand-held dynamometry may provide a valid and objective method of muscle strength quantification in adult inflammatory myopathy: results from clinical practice in a tertiary centre
Conclusion This study indicates that HHD may provide an inexpensive, user-friendly method of strength assessment in IIM patients, providing accurate insights into function, strength and global activity. Undertaking HHD in clinic and by a specialist physiotherapist allows for stratified, personalised rehabil itation intervention. Following future validation, HHD could form a method of objective muscle strength assessment, thus focusing IIM clinical care and research.Disclosure W.J.

Preliminary Observations and Experiences of Physiotherapy Practice in Acute Care Setup of COVID 19: A Retrospective Observational Study.
Conclusion: Most common form of physiotherapy interventions in patients with Covid 19 were therapeutic positioning, early mobilization and breathing exercises. Physiotherapy intervention appears promising in facilitating early patient ambulation and discharge. This study shows that it is safe and feasible to provide early physiotherapy treatment techniques in patients with COVID-19 using appropriate measures of infection prevention and cross contamination.

Alterations of redox dynamics and desmin post-translational modifications in skeletal muscle models of desminopathies.
In conclusion, our results indicate that individual desmin mutations have unique pathological molecular mechanisms partly linked to alteration of redox homeostasis. Integrating these mutant-specific behaviors will be important when considering future therapeutics. PMID: 31369751 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Functional Electrical Stimulation: A Possible Strategy to Improve Muscle Function in Central Core Disease?
Central Core Disease (CCD) is a congenital myopathy characterized by presence of amorphous central areas (or cores) lacking glycolytic/oxidative enzymes and mitochondria in skeletal muscle fibers. Most CCD families are linked to mutations in ryanodine receptor type-1 (RYR1), the gene encoding for the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel of skeletal muscle. As no treatments are available for CCD, currently management of patients is essentially based on a physiotherapic approaches. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a technique used to deliver low energy electrical impulses to artificially stimulate selec...

Interprofessional education (IPE) for respiratory care in neuromuscular disease (NMD) is feasible, and improves confidence in clinical practice
Conclusions: IPE offers a promising approach to training in respiratory care in NMD. Further work is required to determine whether IPE improves collaboration and clinical outcomes.

Consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
ConclusionsDMD management should be multidisciplinary and adapted to the patient's profile and the stage of clinical progression. In addition to corticotherapy, treatment targeting gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiac, and orthopaedic problems, as well as physiotherapy, should be provided with a view to improving patients’ quality of life. Genetic studies play a key role in the management of the disease, both in detecting cases and potential carriers and in characterising the mutation involved and developing new therapies.ResumenIntroducciónLa distrofia muscular de Duchenne (DMD) es la miopatía más frecuente en niñ...

Physical rehabilitation interventions for adult patients during critical illness: an overview of systematic reviews
Conclusions Patients derive short-term benefits from physical rehabilitation delivered during ICU admission. Further robust trials of electrical muscle stimulation in the ICU and rehabilitation delivered following ICU discharge are needed to determine the long-term impact on patient care. This overview provides recommendations for design of future interventional trials and SR. Trial registration number CRD42015001068.
