Blended care intervention for cancer aftercare in general practice centres: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

“…The use of eHealth for applications such as disease management and patient data sharing is encouraged (RIVM et al, 2022, Ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport et al, 2022), but in reality effective eHealth interventions struggle to reach their target population (Ossebaard & Van Gemert-Pijnen, 2016, Willems, 2018, Hurmuz, 2022. For cancer survivors in particular, it has been found that while they use the internet to search for health information, their use of eHealth self-help programmes is not common (Van Uden-Kraan et al, 2019).…”

Stiff knee gait in stroke: Walking down the road of different treatment options

“…Six studies included only patients with stroke (total nZ81). 34,35,45,47,59 Selection of patients Reasons for exclusion were that same patients were used before in another included article, 32,41 no kinematics, 22,38,54 no RF injection, 21,23,[25][26][27][28]39,50 and no full text available in English. 24,29,31,33,36,37,43,44,48,49,[51][52][53][55][56][57][58]60 There was no disagreement in the selection of the remaining 9 articles 30,34,35,40,42,[45][46][47]59 between the 2 reviewers.…”

“…20,26,[53][54][55] RF overactivity is associated with an increased knee extension moment in swing and decreased knee flexion velocity at toe-off, both potentially decreasing peak knee flexion. 26 Other possible mechanisms cited in the literature are decreased strength of the hip flexors and ankle plantar flexors 25,51 leading to decreased power to propel the leg into swing 20,26,28,[53][54][55] or spasticity in the vasti or soleus to decrease knee flexion velocity 29 . Traditional gait training techniques based on the Bobath concept have not proven to improve SKG or any other movement patterns during gait.…”

“…SKG is characterized by a diminished knee flexion during swing and can result in problems with foot clearance. Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear and seem to be multifactorial, abnormal activity of the rectus femoris during swing phase is a frequently mentioned cause of SKG 26,29,54,55 .…”

“…The poor to moderate positive effects could be explained by the fact that SKG is often a multifactorial problem. There is strong evidence that a decrease in peak knee flexion is also caused by decreased strength of the ankle plantar flexors 25,51 and hip flexors 20,26,28,[53][54][55] . Given activity of multiple muscles may contribute to SKG, injection of BTX into multiple muscles could be considered.…”
