“…Previously, randomized controlled trials have compared the natural evolution of the 6MWT (more frequently studied than the 2MWT) and the TUG among control groups that did not receive intervention treatment. Similar, improved or impaired performances in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA), subjects with chronic rheumatoid arthritis, healthy children or children with haemophilia have been reported for the 6MWT and the TUG . Because our study did not include a control group, we cannot attribute the functional improvement solely to the programme, although the improvements reported in these former studies were much smaller than those recorded in ours.…”

Introduction:In resource-constrained countries, few patients with haemophilia (PWH) have access to clotting factor concentrates (CFC), with increased musculoskeletal (MSK) complications. Physiotherapy actively contributes to preventing MSK complications, minimizing joint damage and reducing pain. Aim: To assess the impact of a 20-week self-and community-based rehabilitation (CBR) programme in Ivorian PWH. Methods: Fifty participants underwent a clinical and functional baseline assessment with identification of joints' functional defects and initiation of an individualized exercise programme comprising exercises to improve strength, joint mobility and proprioception. Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS), 2-minute walking test (2MWT), Timed Up and Go (TUG), goniometry and maximal isometric voluntary contractions using the MicroFET2 were performed at baseline (T1) and at Week 20 (T2).Results: At T2, there was a significant improvement in both the 2MWT and TUG tests.The HJHS total score decreased significantly from 23.6 ± 14.2 at T1 to 20.4 ± 13 at T2. A significant improvement in joint health was found in the left elbow, right knee and right ankle, with elements correlating with joint function responsible for these improvements. A strong programme adherence was observed, with 94% of participants reporting regular exercise performance and a high degree of satisfaction. Conclusion:The programme with its encouraging results is meant to be the first step towards a more ambitious project. Self-based and CBR programmes are inexpensive and efficient treatment options designed to minimize the detrimental effects of joint and muscle bleedings, and to increase the functional independence and quality of life of PWH with limited access to CFC and physiotherapy.

“…A recent randomised controlled trial showed significant improvements in self-reported knee pain and function in women aged over 60 with knee OA who wore a flat flexible "Moleca" shoe for 6 h per day for 6 months. The control group wore their own neutral tennis shoes "which did not have the characteristics of a minimalist footwear" 40 . Although promising, participants in this study were not blinded, which introduces a high risk of bias given that pain and function outcomes were selfreported, and the control shoes were not standardized nor their characteristics documented.…”

“…Although most of the research on minimalist footwear has focused on running, there are a number of clinical populations that may benefit from MSW. Previous studies have shown that 6 months of walking in minimalist footwear relieved pain and decreased knee loading in subjects with knee osteoarthritis (41,42). Neither study reported ankle kinematics or kinetics, so the mechanism of pain relief and unloading is unclear.…”

Fifty-seven runners were randomly assigned to one of three groups - minimalist shoe walking (MSW), foot strengthening exercise (FS), or control (C). All groups maintained their pre-study running mileage throughout the study. The MSW group walked in provided footwear, increasing weekly the number of steps/day taken in the shoes. The FS group performed a set of progressive resistance exercises at least 5 days/week. Foot muscle strength (via custom dynamometers) and size (via ultrasound) were measured at the beginning (week 0), middle (week 4), and end (week 8) of the study. Mixed model ANOVAs were run to determine if the interventions had differing effects on the groups.Single nucleotide polymorphism; estrogen receptor; muscle stiffness; injury prediction; athletes RESULTS: There were significant group by time interactions for all muscle size and strength measurements. All muscle sizes and strength increased significantly from weeks 0-8 in the FS and MSW groups, while there were no changes in the C group. Some muscles increased in size by week 4 in the FS and MSW groups.Single nucleotide polymorphism; estrogen receptor; muscle stiffness; injury prediction; athletes CONCLUSION: Minimalist shoe walking is as effective as foot strengthening exercises in increasing in foot muscle size and strength. The convenience of changing footwear rather than performing specific exercises may result in greater compliance.
