“…Most of the analyzed studies are of the observational type carried out through questionnaires, where a direct correlation was observed with the increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in individuals with chronic pain, a direct relationship between the intensity of the pain and the severity of the cardiovascular symptoms, and individuals with cardiovascular disease who did not present with pain showed a better prognosis [45][46][47]49,51,[53][54][55][56][58][59][60][61][62][63][64].…”

ntroduction: Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for substantial damage to the health system, being the main cause of mortality in the world, just as pain is the main cause of disability in the world. It is common for individuals diagnosed with both pathologies as well as other comorbidities, to be associated with a high risk of mortality. The study of pain in this specific population can bring us greater clarity on the impact it has on cardiac rehabilitation. Objective: To identify studies that researched the impact of pain in patients with cardiovascular disease, and to analyze the impact of pain on the rehabilitation of these individuals. Methods: We performed an integrative literature review in the PUBMED database based on clinical practice, selecting studies that evaluated pain, functional capacity, quality of life, and treatment adherence, the studies were analyzed according to criteria of practice based on scientific evidence. Results: A total of 380 studies using the search strategy, where 55 studies were selected after reading the title and abstract, and after analysis 23 studies were included according to the inclusion criteria. Despite the high relevance of the subject in the literature, there are still few studies with a high level of scientific evidence, which address the impact of pain in individuals with cardiovascular disease, but primary studies have shown a direct correlation between the two pathologies, being associated with clinical worsening of these individuals, highlighting the importance of a better approach to pain. Conclusion: Pain is a common pathology among individuals with cardiovascular disease, decreasing functional capacity, and treatment adherence, and triggering changes in the autonomic nervous system, which can negatively impact cardiac rehabilitation

Background: It is generally believed that lumbar disc herniation is more common in the elderly population. But with the continuous change of life and working style, more and more young people are suffering from lumbar disc herniation due to their long hours at the desk and poor posture. Purpuse: To analyze the characteristics of lumbar lordosis (LL), intervertebral angle (IVA) and lumbosacral angle (LSA) in young patients with low back pain and their relationship with lumbar disc herniation. Material and Methods: 148 young patients with low back pain underwent lumbar magnetic resonance (MR) and digital radiography (DR). According to the results, they were divided into non-lumbar disc herniation group (NLDH group) and lumbar disc herniation group (LDH group). LL, IVA and LSA were measured on the lateral plainradiographs. Then we compare and analyze the characteristics of LL, IVA and LSA of the two groups and their relationship with lumbar disc herniation. Results: In both groups, IVA gradually increased from L1-L2 to L5-S1, and it reached the maximum at L5-S1. IVA of each segment and the mean LL in LDH group were both smaller than those in NLDH group, but the mean LSA was larger in LDH group, and the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). Lumbar disc herniation was negatively correlated with IVA from L1-L2 to L5-S1 and LL, but positively correlated with LSA. Young patients with lower LL and IVA and higher LSA are more likely to develop lumbar disc herniation. Conclusion: LL, IVA and LSA measured on the lateral plain radiographs can be used as important reference indexes to reflect the condition of lumbar disc herniation.

“…Other studies have focused on lower limbs rehabilitation protocol with walking or mixed training programs [8,11] (both aerobic and resistance), but information about muscular pain/retraction is still missing. In fact, clinical practice has suggested that a lot of patients suffer pain in the lumbar region associated with a retraction of the muscles [12]. This framework is probably a driver toward claudication [13]: calf muscles stiffness reduces, for example, the ankle dorsal flexion and then increases the risk of fall during the clearance of the feet [14].…”

Intensive Rehabilitation Program in Arterial Occlusive Disease Patients

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) limits walking efficiency and distance. The main disabling symptom is vasculopathy that leads to claudicatio intermittens and limits walking efficiency. Stretching techniques are effective in treatments for retractions and are used to improve flexibility of triceps surae and range of motion of the ankle. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a combined walking and stretching program on walking efficiency in elderly PAOD patients. Seventy patients with PAOD stage II of the Leriche–Fontaine classification were randomly assigned into a stretching group (SG) or conditioning group (CG). Both groups participated in an eleven-day intensive rehabilitation program based on walking and strength training, while the SG performed five extra sessions of stretching. Walking autonomy was assessed through treadmill and overground tests with the recording of initial and absolute pain. A univariate ANOVA analysis was applied for the differences between the initial and final outcomes. Walking autonomy improved in both groups (p < 0.01), while only the SG improved flexibility (from −14.0 ± 8.1 to −10.3 ± 8.3 cm; p < 0.01). An intensive eleven-day rehabilitation program based on walking, strength, and stretching exercises is effective to improve the onset and the delay of pain during walking in patients with PAOD.
