Assessment of Pelvic Motion During Single-Leg Weight-Bearing Tasks Using Smartphone Sensors: Validity Study

Assessment of Pelvic Motion During Single-Leg Weight-Bearing Tasks Using Smartphone Sensors: Validity Study

Specifically, we assessed whether smartphone sensors provide valid estimates of pelvic orientation in the frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes; pelvic mediolateral acceleration; and exercise duration. We further investigated whether smartphone sensors can objectively characterize pelvic motion differences between different single-leg weight-bearing tasks.

Personalized mHealth Intervention (StepAdd) for Increasing Physical Activity in Japanese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Secondary Analysis of Social Cognitive Theory Measurements of a Single-Arm Pilot Study

Personalized mHealth Intervention (StepAdd) for Increasing Physical Activity in Japanese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Secondary Analysis of Social Cognitive Theory Measurements of a Single-Arm Pilot Study

The ρ of 0.355 between change in SR and change in steps supports the centrality of SR in the changes to exercise behavior [3]. Correlations of social cognitive theory constructs at week 12 of the Step Add intervention for Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. a SI: strategy implementation. b GC: goal completion. c SE-B: self-efficacy for barriers. d SE-T: self-efficacy for task-specific behavior. e SR: self-regulation. f Not applicable.

User Experience With a Personalized mHealth Service for Physical Activity Promotion in University Students: Mixed Methods Study

User Experience With a Personalized mHealth Service for Physical Activity Promotion in University Students: Mixed Methods Study

After an introduction and onboarding, they received a task sheet with 6 tasks to independently test the service for approximately 30 minutes (eg, finding exercise information, Multimedia Appendix 3). They accessed the prototype via a device (eg, laptop or tablet). After completing each task, participants provided initial feedback on the task sheet and then completed the online questionnaire.

Effect of Clinic-Based and Asynchronous Video-Based Exercise on Clinic and Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: Quasi-Experimental Study

Effect of Clinic-Based and Asynchronous Video-Based Exercise on Clinic and Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: Quasi-Experimental Study

Accordingly, therapeutic exercise is the mainstay of physiotherapy for knee osteoarthritis as it is an effective and well-tolerated treatment [14]. Exercise intervention in knee osteoarthritis alleviates pain, improves physical performance, and optimizes social, domestic, occupational, and recreational participation [17].

Efficacy of a Supervised Exercise Program on Pain, Physical Function, and Quality of Life in Patients With Breast Cancer: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial

Efficacy of a Supervised Exercise Program on Pain, Physical Function, and Quality of Life in Patients With Breast Cancer: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial

Various treatments are currently being studied to alleviate these side effects, including therapeutic exercise. Exercise provides short- and long-term benefits to reduce the symptoms that may appear during treatment in each patient. Here, therapeutic exercise specialists play an important role in helping patients overcome their fear and improve their physical abilities [23]. The American College of Sports Medicine says exercise is associated with improved survival after developing cancer [24].

Generative AI–Enabled Therapy Support Tool for Improved Clinical Outcomes and Patient Engagement in Group Therapy: Real-World Observational Study

Generative AI–Enabled Therapy Support Tool for Improved Clinical Outcomes and Patient Engagement in Group Therapy: Real-World Observational Study

Correlations between completed therapeutic materials, exercise assignments, and treatment engagement (A-C) and treatment success measures (D-F). First, we compared the reliable improvement rate between the groups. Reliable improvement is defined as a significant change in patients’ symptom scores from the beginning to the end of treatment (reduction of ≥6 points in the PHQ-9 or ≥4 points in the GAD-7 total scores). This measure is considered to reflect meaningful clinical progress.

Kangaroo Stimulation Game in Tracheostomized Intensive Care–Related Dysphagia: Interventional Feasibility Study

Kangaroo Stimulation Game in Tracheostomized Intensive Care–Related Dysphagia: Interventional Feasibility Study

Subsequently, daily training and exercise was performed using the Rephagia kangaroo game (Figure 1 A). Settings (bolus size, bolus consistency, and how many swallowing actions) of the exercise were defined by an experienced SLP, using a specified protocol as described previously [1]. The daily Rephagia swallowing exercises were supervised by a trained ICU nurse. In addition, all patients were evaluated once weekly by an SLP.

Effects of a Session of Exergames and Traditional Games on Inhibitory Control in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial

Effects of a Session of Exergames and Traditional Games on Inhibitory Control in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial

Studies have demonstrated the positive effects of physical exercise on inhibitory control in both neurotypical children [8] and children with ASD [9]. For instance, a study involving children with ASD conducted three 20-minute exercise sessions—circuit training, treadmill walking, and a sedentary control—and observed significant improvements in cerebral oxygenation and inhibitory control during the exercise sessions [9].

Effect of a Gamified Family-Based Exercise Intervention on Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Behavior Recommendations in Preschool Children: Single-Center Pragmatic Trial

Effect of a Gamified Family-Based Exercise Intervention on Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Behavior Recommendations in Preschool Children: Single-Center Pragmatic Trial

For example, virtual reality combined with gamification in PA programs has been reported to enhance motivation, thereby increasing the extent of engagement in exercise [27]. In adolescents, gamification particularly enhances motivation and adherence to PA via social or competitive elements appealing to this phase of development [28].

Development and Implementation of Strong Foundations, a Digitally Delivered Fall Prevention Program: Usability and Feasibility Pilot Exercise Cohort Study

Development and Implementation of Strong Foundations, a Digitally Delivered Fall Prevention Program: Usability and Feasibility Pilot Exercise Cohort Study

The public health use of this approach is further supported by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) “Grade B” recommendation to refer older adults for fall prevention exercise programs [14,15].
