“…After 1833 articles were excluded, 39 articles remained for the synthesis ( figure 1 ) [ 2 , 3 , 15 – 51 ]. Three pairs of articles [ 18 , 25 , 26 , 31 , 35 , 36 ] reported data from a single study. Henceforth only the first is cited.…”

“…Severity of lung disease at baseline varied: ten studies on participants with VC or FVC (presented henceforth as F(VC)) less than 2 L or 50% predicted, 14 studies with F(VC) between 2–3 L or 50–80% predicted, seven studies with F(VC) greater than 3 L or 80% predicted, and the remaining six studies with unknown severity. Three studies [ 26 , 27 , 45 ] investigated the impact of RMT on athletes with SCI; baseline characteristics of these participants were markedly different to other studies therefore these findings were not included in meta-analyses.…”

Respiratory muscle training in neuromuscular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2022

BackgroundNeuromuscular disease causes a progressive decline in ventilatory function which respiratory muscle training may address. Previous systematic reviews have focussed on single diseases, whereas this study systematically reviewed the collective evidence for respiratory muscle training in children and adults with any neuromuscular disease.MethodsSeven databases were searched for randomised controlled trials. Three reviewers independently reviewed eligibility, extracted characteristics, results, determined risk of bias and combined results using narrative synthesis and meta-analysis.Results37 studies (40 publications from 1986–2021, n=951 participants) were included. Respiratory muscle training improved forced vital capacity (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.40 (95% confidence interval 0.12–0.69)), maximal inspiratory (SMD 0.53 (0.21–0.85)) and maximal expiratory pressure (SMD 0.70 (0.35–1.04)) compared to control (usual care, sham or alternative treatment). No impact on cough, dyspnoea, voice, physical capacity or quality of life was detected. There was high degree of variability between studies.DiscussionStudy heterogeneity (children and adults, different diseases, interventions, dosage and comparators) suggests that the results should be interpreted with caution. Including all neuromuscular diseases increased the evidence pool and tested the intervention overall.ConclusionsRespiratory muscle training improves lung volumes and respiratory muscle strength in neuromuscular disease, but confidence is tempered by limitations in the underlying research.

“…Physically, athletes who experience inappropriate breath patterns, such as hyperventilation, will experience hypocapnia, which can lead to adverse effects such as a loss of focus, decreased coordination, and anxiety (Bacchus, 2010). For athletes, breathing tools such as inspiratory muscle training and concurrent respiratory resistance training have been implemented to improve physical performance by improving respiratory performance, such as by increasing lung capacity (Archiza et al, 2018; Litchke et al, 2012; Nepomuceno et al, 2016). Psychologically, athletes experience anxiety, stress, and increased pressure to perform (J.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the influence of HeartMath® on female college athletes’ abilities to holistically care for self as assessed through resiliency and power. Design: The descriptive design used mixed methods and was approved by the university’s institutional review board. The purposive sample was female college student athletes who were currently enrolled in a university program of study and played in a National Collegiate Athletic Association sanctioned sport. Method: There were eight weekly sessions where the holistic intervention HeartMath® was taught and reinforced. Participants completed two tools to measure resilience and power Weeks 1, 4, and 8: the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale and the Power as Knowing Participation in Change Tool. At Session 8, a focus group interview was conducted to explore perception of how HeartMath® influenced caring for self as a student athlete. Findings: Although no statistical significance, emergent themes support that with HeartMath®, participants experienced an increase in resilience and power influencing their holistic caring for self. Conclusions: Findings support the need for additional research on the influence of HeartMath® on student athlete resilience and power in any team on and off the playing field.

“…The purpose of these changes was to gauge respondents' ability to perform wheelchair-specific functional tasks. Both changes related to the description of activities; '…moving a table, pushing a vacuum cleaner, bowling, or playing golf' was changed to '…using your wheelchair around your home', and 'Climbing several flights of stairs' was changed to 'Going rapidly in your wheelchair for several blocks' Mueller and colleagues used the same amended version in a randomized controlled trial Modification 4 (Litchke et al, 2012 44 …”

Short Form health surveys and related variants in spinal cord injury research: A systematic review

Context: 'Short Form' health surveys -such as the SF-36 and SF-12 -are widely used in medical research. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is no exception, despite oft-cited concerns regarding measurement properties for populations with physical impairment. Objective: To provide a comprehensive overview of the use of Short Form health surveys and their variants within the SCI literature. Methods: Papers published between database inception and September 2012 were identified from 11 electronic databases; a supplementary reference list search was also conducted. Data extraction focused on details regarding the range of different Short Form surveys and variants used in SCI research, the respective frequency of use, the nature of reporting (complete versus partial reporting) and the method of survey administration. Results: One hundred seventy-four papers were identified. Thirty-six-item Short Form health surveys were frequently administered as complete instruments (n = 82); in 69 of these 82 studies (84%), it was not clearly stated which 36-item version had been used (e.g. SF-36v1, SF-36v2, RAND-36). Data for individual items and domains were often reported (29% of identified studies), indicating significant partial use of standardized measures. Modified variants of standardized health surveys were administered in 12 studies. Conclusion: Although standardized Short Form health surveys are common within SCI research, attempts to add, delete, or modify items have resulted in a number of variants, often with minimal supportive psychometric evidence. Using established, generic outcome measures is appealing for a number of reasons. However, validity is paramount and requires further explicit consideration within the SCI research community.
