Perceived barriers to and facilitators of physical activity in people with knee osteoarthritis: development of the Evaluation of the Perception of Physical Activity questionnaire
Conclusions. The EPPA questionnaire has good psychometric properties and can help guide the management of knee osteoarthritis. It can be used in research for evaluating the perception of physical activity. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Effect of high-intensity exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness in stroke survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions. Our meta-analysis suggests that high-intensity exercise is beneficial for cardiorespiratory fitness in stroke survivors and might be safe as a novel intervention in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation after stroke. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

High sedentary behaviour and low physical activity levels at 12 months after cardiac rehabilitation: a prospective cohort study
Conclusions: Most cardiac rehabilitation participants did not meet the physical activity guidelines during and after a 6-week program up to 12 months. Reducing sedentary behaviour may be a more achievable first-line strategy for cardiac patients, moving participants along the energy expenditure continuum, aiming to increase their physical activity levels over the medium to long term.Trial registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR): ACTRN12615000995572, http://www.ANZCTR.org.au/ACTRN12615000995572.aspx (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Detection of pronator muscle overactivity in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy: development of a semi-automatic method using EMG data
Conclusions. Detection of pronator overactivity by using surface EMG provides an important complement to the clinical examination. This method can be used clinically, with the condition that clinicians be aware of surface EMG limitations. We believe use of this method can increase the accuracy of treatment for muscle overactivity, resulting in improved motor function and no worsening of paresis.

Mobile health and supervised rehabilitation versus mobile health alone in breast cancer survivors: randomized controlled trial
Conclusions. The BENECA mHealth lifestyle application with a supervised rehabilitation program had a statistically and clinically significant effect on QoL and upper-limb functionality in breast cancer survivors and is a unique and important promising new approach.

Validity of wearable actimeter computation of total energy expenditure during walking in post-stroke individuals
ConclusionsThis new method based on the energy cost and distance estimated by wearable devices provided better energy expenditure estimates for the pedometer than did the manufacturer's algorithm. The validity of this method depended on the accuracy of the sensor to measure the distance walked by an individual after stroke. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Criteria for inclusion in programs of functional restoration for chronic low back pain: pragmatic study
Conclusion: In this multicentric observational study, referral to an FRP was linked to pain, self-reported physical activity and sick leave but not medical characteristics assessed. These findings confirm the bio-psycho-social approach of FRPs for cLBP. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

From congenial paralysis to post-early brain injury developmental condition: Where does cerebral palsy actually stand?
Publication date: Available online 14 August 2019Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Stéphane Chabrier, Margaux Pouyfaucon, Alain Chatelin, Yannick Bleyenheuft, Joel Fluss, Vincent Gautheron, Christopher J Newman, Guillaume Sébire, Patrick Van Bogaert, Carole Vuillerot, Sylvain Brochard, Mickael DinomaisAbstractCerebral palsy (CP), an umbrella term for a developmental motor disorder caused by early brain injury (EBI)/interference, remains debated. In this essay, we present a narrative, beginning with the original anatomical-clinical description of the so-called paralysie congéniale (congenia...

Wearable inertial sensors provide reliable biomarkers of disease severity in multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion. IMU measurement has the potential to increase the sensitivity of clinical and performance tests to identify evolution in gait alteration in MS. Kinematic parameters easily accessible with IMUs, such as speed, step length and step duration, can help follow up disease severity in MS individuals with low to medium EDSS score (1.0–4.5).

Validity of wearable actimeter computation of total energy expenditure during walking in hemiparetic stroke patients
Conclusions. This new method based on the energy cost and distance estimated by wearable devices provided better energy expenditure estimates for the pedometer than did the manufacturer’s algorithm. The validity of this method depended on the accuracy of the sensor to measure the distance walked by an individual after stroke. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)
