Adults with cerebral palsy: a workshop to define the challenges of treating and preventing secondary musculoskeletal and neuromuscular complications in this rapidly growing population.

29 Sep 2009 Although the neurological injury associated with cerebral palsy (CP) is non-progressive, adults with the disorder often develop musculoskeletal and neurological symptoms, such as severe pain, chronic fatigue, and a premature decline in mobility and ... Read more...

Robotic approaches to the posterior spine.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: This anatomic study described robotic approaches to the posterior thoracolumbar spine in a porcine model. Ergonomics, control, and approach and technical difficulties were noted. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop a ... Read more...

A 4-week home-based aerobic and resistance exercise program during radiation therapy: a pilot randomized clinical trial.

30 Aug 2009 During radiation therapy, cancer patients may report cancer-related fatigue (CRF), which impairs aerobic capacity, strength, muscle mass, and, ultimately, quality of life (QOL). The purpose of this pilot clinical trial was to examine the feasibility ... Read more...
