“…The addition of testing fundamental movement skills and physical fitness measures could be utilized to obtain overall health related and skill related measures for each player (Klavina, Ostrovska, & Campa, 2017;Temple, Alston, Elder& Stuart-Hill, 2019). Furthermore, studies could incorporate measurements to assess youth WCB players quality of life and how it affected by being involved with this particular sport (Feter, Calonego, Cavanhi & del Vecchio, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study was to document physiological responses that result from participation in youth wheelchair basketball (WCB) games. Each participant (4 males, 2 females, mean age = 15.2 y, SD= 1.8 y) completed a peak aerobic capacity upper-body cycle ergometer test until fatigue. Additionally, each participant competed in two regular season youth WCB games while wearing a Polar Pro Team System heart rate (HR) monitor. During competition, average HR, peak heart rate (HRpeak), playing intensity, total distance covered, training load score, and caloric expenditure were recorded. Results from the study indicated a HR mean = 140.8 bmin-1 , SD = 19.8 bmin-1 , HRpeak mean = 188.9 bmin-1 , SD= 15.8 bmin-1 , and mean = 83.3%, SD = 13.7% level of exercise intensity from participation in the two games. Additionally, participation in WCB games revealed that players traversed mean= 909.4 meters, SD= 230.4 meters, achieved a training load score mean = 120.3, SD= 65.2, and expended mean = 718.2 calories, SD = 184.5 calories, across the two games. In conclusion, participation by adolescents in a WCB game meets the physiological demands needed to achieve health-related fitness benefits established by both the American College of Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“…This is important since people with CP showed lengthened sarcomeres and shortened muscles in affected muscles contributing to weakness and low active force characteristics in this population (Graham et al, 2016). Thus, eccentric exercise could have additional architectonical benefits for people with CP, highlighting the importance of improving strength in populations with disabilities (Feter, Calonego, Cavanhi, & del Vecchio, 2018).…”

This study examined the effects of eccentric strength training on muscle function and functionality in football players with cerebral palsy (CP). Eight players (M=21.6, SD=5.9 years) performed bilateral lower limb (LL) eccentric strength training for six-week at 80% of one repetition maximum (ECC), three times per week, while nine players (M=20.9, SD=6.6 years) were used as controls (CTL). Knee extensor muscles isometric (MVC) strength, asymmetry between LL, thigh perimeter, balance (Y-balance test) and agility (Illinois agility test) were measured in both LL before and after training. CTL maintained all dependent variables unchanged after six weeks. MVC strength increased in the right (M=22.7, SD=9.6%; p<0.001; ES=1.12) and in the left LL (M=23.7, SD=7.6%; p<0.001; ES=0.93) after ECC. Strength asymmetry decreased (M=-22.7, SD=15.4%; p<0.001; ES=0.58) after ECC. Thigh perimeter increased in the left (M=4.8, SD=1.6%; p<0.001; ES=0.84) and in the right LL (M=4.4, SD=1.5%; p<0.001; ES=0.73) after ECC. Balance improved in the left (M=12.9, SD=3.2%; p<0.001; ES=0.84) and in the right LL (M=10.5, SD=4.5%; p<0.001; ES=0.63) after ECC. The results suggest that eccentric strength training seems to effectively increase muscle strength, balance, and thigh perimeter and decrease strength asymmetry in football players with CP.

“…After leaving hospital care, the patients enrolled in the post-COVID-19 cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program. The physical therapist in charge of the cardiorespiratory rehabilitation room entered all patients with positive Apley scratch tests [ 11 ] into the multidisciplinary upper limb team. The physiatrist carried out a clinical evaluation to indicate an upper limb electromyography (EMG) and/or an ultrasound of the glenohumeral joint, as needed.…”

“…From the electronic clinical records (Florence clinical version 19.3), we obtained sociodemographic data, medical backgrounds and clinical history, as well as days on MV and in prone position. Evaluations were divided in two: (i) The physical therapist from the respiratory rehabilitation program, as part of the entry evaluation, did an Apley scratch test [ 11 ]. This test has demonstrated a high level of inter-rater (0.89–0.97) and intra-rater (0.92–0.99) reliability [ 12 ].…”

COVID-19 has caused a certain proportion of patients to be hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU) and may cause musculoskeletal and neurological deficits following intubation and mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to quantify and describe the presence of shoulder pain in patients released from hospitals after suffering COVID-19. Patients with positive Apley tests were sent to a physiatrist for a clinical evaluation, ultrasound and electromyography (EMG). This evaluation was completed with a pain scale, joint range and shoulder muscle strength evaluations. Of the one-hundred-sixteen patients, seventy eight entered the respiratory rehabilitation program. Twenty patients were sent to the multidisciplinary shoulder team for positive Apley scratch tests. Of these twenty patients, one had only an EMG, ten had only ultrasounds, seven had an EMG and ultrasound and two did not need complementary tests. The twenty patients were sent to the physical therapist, with all presenting pain and diminished joint range and muscle strength in the affected shoulder. In this context, shoulder pain could be associated with the prone position in the ICU. We suggest time control and position change for patients on mechanical ventilation in a prone position with COVID-19.
