“…7) However, few studies have reported on its relationship with increased muscle strength. 8) Although the present study did not show an intergroup difference in pre-intervention MPQ, it showed a significant post-intervention decrease in MPQ in the Elex group, compared with the Tex group. However, there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the post-intervention CS-30, which indicates quadriceps endurance, or TUG, which indicates balance ability.…”

Objective: Hemodialysis (HD) patients have lower fitness levels than healthy subjects because of various structural, metabolic, and functional abnormalities secondary to uremic changes in skeletal muscles. Aerobic and resistance exercises are beneficial in improving not only physical function, including maximal oxygen uptake and muscle strength, but also anthropometrics, nutritional status, and hematologic indices. The use of electric ergometers that place light loads on patients has been implemented at many dialysis facilities in Japan. However, reports comparing the effects on body function of electric and variable-load ergometers are few. This study aimed to compare electric ergometers and variable-load ergometers in terms of exercise outcomes in HD patients. Methods: A total of 15 ambulatory HD patients were randomly divided into two groups: the variable-load ergometer group (n=8) and the electric ergometer group (n=7). HD patients exercised at a level based on their physical function three times a week for 12 weeks. Results: After the 12-week intervention period, only the variable-load ergometer group experienced significant increases in lower extremity muscle strength and exercise tolerance. Conclusion: This study confirmed that conventional aerobic training and electric bike exercise during HD were efficacious and safe without causing sudden hypotension or any other side effects. However, exercise using a variable-load ergometer may be more effective than exercise using an electric bike in improving the physical function of HD patients. Exercise using a variable-load ergometer elicited specific whole-body and local effects.

“…It is equal to the square root of the total power contained within the EMG signal. The ARV of the EMG signal calculates the mean of the rectified or absolute value 27 of the EMG signal amplitude, Figure 11B. The ARV is proportional to RMS of the EMG amplitude when the level of muscle activity is sufficiently high (83).…”

“…This channel could be displayed to the patient visually to target the lower trapezius (increase recruitment), which can become inhibited and limit full range of motion in shoulder abduction. In a similar way, the inclusion of EMG biofeedback in conventional exercise programs can facilitate recovery after surgery ( 26 , 27 ) and can also improve the effectiveness of training programs [e.g., pelvic floor muscle training ( 28 – 30 )]. Surface EMG biofeedback can also be useful in cases where muscular tension causes pain, as the visual stimulus can help the patient to relax or deactivate the muscles [e.g., alleviating neck ( 31 , 32 ) and low back pain ( 33 )], Figure 2B .…”

“…The use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is recommended to be utilized with all patients following ACL reconstruction. The results of a recent systematic review found NMES improves quadriceps isometric torque, quadriceps peak torque, isokinetic knee extension strength, and led to a faster recovery of quadriceps strength [20]. Stimulation can be performed in full knee extension for patients with bone-patella-bone grafts and at 60°isometrically for patients with allografts or hamstring autografts.…”

Purpose of Review The goal of this paper is to review the current management and prevention of post-operative complications after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Trends in rehabilitation techniques will be presented, in addition to suggestions for interventions and expected milestones in ACL reconstruction recovery. Recent Findings ACL reconstruction protocols have evolved to more of a criterion-based progression rather than a tissuehealing time frame. Given the evolution of ACL surgical reconstruction techniques and rehabilitation protocols, the risk of post-operative complications can arise both early and late in the recovery process. This paper will discuss the role of preventative measures as it applies to the post-operative patient with ACL reconstruction. Summary Short-term complications following ACL reconstruction include infection and deficits to knee motion and strength, whereas long-term complications include secondary ACL injury to either the involved or contralateral knee and lack of ability to return to high-level sports following this procedure. Future research should continue to address the multifactorial causes of secondary ACL injury and limited ability of patients to return to high level activities.
