Ulf G. Bronas, PhD, ATC, ATR, Diane Treat-Jacobson, PhD, RN, FAHA, and Patricia Painter, PhD, FACSM Alternative Forms of Exercise Training as Complementary Therapy in the Prevention and Management of Type 2 Diabetes This review explores the available evidence for the benefits of performing conventional (cardiovascular, resistance, and combined) or alternative forms of exercise training (yoga, t...

New strategies are needed to help people cope with the repercussions of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Patients and caregivers face different challenges, but here we investigated an intervention tailored for this combined population. The program focused on training skills such as attending to the present moment nonjudgmentally, which may help reduce maladaptive emotion...

ABSTRACT Introduction Athletics has high requirements for resistance and strength. Therefore, more researchers are focusing on improving these athletes’ endurance muscular strength, prioritizing their sports performance. Objective Explore methods of adding to conventional training increase performance muscle strength in track field. Methods Volunteers the experiment control groups were randomly...

BACKGROUND This article examines the effectiveness of differentiated rehabilitation programs for a patient with frontal syndrome after severe TBI and long-term coma. We hypothesized that there would be a small response to relative beta training, and a good response to rTMS, applied to regulate the dynamics of brain function. CASE REPORT M. L-S, age 26, suffered from anosognosia, executive dys...

Seeking to extend its regular staff development program, Temple University's Reference and Information Services Department implemented in Spring 1989 a semester-long peer coaching program designed to provide staff with support in fine-tuning and maintaining certain reference desk skills. The program combined training in positive reference behaviors, objective observation, and feedback. In addit...

Through the combined efforts of the American Pathology Foundation (APF), the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), and the Program Directors Section (PRODS) of the Association of Pathology Chairs (APC), a needs assessment was performed via a survey on the PRODS listserv, workshops at the APC/PRODS annual meetings in 2009 and 2010, and a Work Group of representatives of APF, ASCP, and ...

We compared the effect of three different exercise programs on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease including strength training at 50_80% of one-repetition maximum (1-RM) (ST; N = 11), low-intensity general training (LGT; N = 13), or combined training groups (CT; N = 11). Body composition, muscle strength, treadmill endurance test (TEnd), 6-min walk test (6MWT), Saint George's Re...

BACKGROUND Proprioceptive deficits have been largely documented in PD patients, thus external sensory signals (peripheral sensory feedback) are often used to compensate the abnormalities of proprioceptive integration. This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and the effectiveness of a rehabilitation-training program, combined with the use of a sensory-motor orthotic in improving balanc...
