    (2021) Tabarak Qanadilo; Hams Swafteh; Aseel Essa; Aya Ghanayem; Dania Eid; Raghad swafteh
    Introduction:Older adults and persons with neurological problems are at a greater risk for falls. Although strength and balance training help reduce falls, certain types of exercise may be more helpful. Slip and trip-like perturbation training is a novel intervention that involves a repeated of postural perturbations with the goal of improving control of rapid balance reactions. Purpose: To examine whether slip or/and trip perturbation can increase balance and reduce the overground fall among elderly and chronic stroke patients. Design: a systematic review Method: All studies that were published in English and between the years 2016 and 2021 were searched in four databases for relevant published articles that assessed slip or/and trip perturbation interventions. All of the studies that were examined were carefully reviewed and discussed among the researchers in order to resolve any disagreements and create a consensus. Result:13 studies published between 2016 and 2021 met the inclusion criteria. The interventions targeted older adult and chronic stroke patients. The interventions involved the following core outcomes 1) reactive balance improvement 2) a significant reduction in falls. Conclusion: Slip or/and trip perturbation training appears to reduce fall risk among older adults and chronic stroke patients.

    (2021) Dounia Odeh; Sondos Odaily; Raghad Hassoun; Yaqeen Rayan; Amera Arar
    Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurological diseases worldwide in our time, and despite its spread there isn’t treatment yet discovered. Nonpharmacological interventions may have a role in both the prevention and delay the deterioration of cognitive in for AD such as program of exercises and physical activities. It was therefore the aim of this systematic review to investigate the best exercise training that delay the deterioration of AD from mild to moderate stage of cognitive impairment. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted by use RCT articles Publications between 2015 and 2021 were identified by searching the electronic databases PubMed and Google scholar. In addition to the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society about the effect of aerobic and strengthen exercise on Alzheimer disease with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. Result: This systematic review and analysis is made up of 10 RCT (5 articles strengthening exercise, 5 articles aerobic exercise) with mild to moderate cognitive impairment for AD. Aerobic and resistance Exercises generally it had a positive effects on rate of cognitive decline in AD. Conclusion: Older adults with AD (mild to moderate cognitive impairment) are at high risk of further cognitive decline, along with physical frailty and disability. Aerobic and strengthening exercise have clinically relevant benefits for cognitive function, muscle strength, and aerobic capacity , so in a PT intervention we must combine both exercises (strengthening and aerobic exercise) in the session to get the greatest benefit, in addition to delay the deterioration of cognitive for the brain.

    THE IMPACT OF CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY ON NEONATAL BABAIES IN NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
    (2021) Reem Nael Mohammed Abatli; Manar Thameen Kamel Ahmad; Ahamd Marwan Fathie Dereyah; Meera Abd al-Qader Abdullah Afaneh; Mohannad Husam Sulaiman Sowwan
    BACKGROUND: Respiratory problems occur in 4 to 6% of neonates. And one of the most common problem is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) that occurs within first 42- 78 hours of life. The role of chest physiotherapy (CPT) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is mainly associated with taking care of the neonatal lungs. CPT such as percussion, vibrating, postural drainage, and suction are all used in the physiotherapy management of neonatal respiratory disorders. OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of different chest physiotherapy techniques such as percussion, vibration and positioning on respiratory system of neonatal in the NICU. DATA SOURCE: This systematic review includes 10 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) for neonatal babies in NICU who suffer from respiratory problems. The articles were retrieved from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ResearchGate. Articles were also accessed from Journals (Clinical Journal of Neonatology). STUDY SELECTION: Data belonged from 2010 to 2021 were included RCTs that focus on physiotherapy intervention with neonatal who has respiratory problems in the NICU and it also focus on the impact of CPT on those neonatal, chest physiotherapy techniques were included in this review. RESULTS: Total 10 studies were included in this review. The analysis of vital sign such as respiratory rate, SatO2, PtcCO2, and PtcO2 that monitored before and after physiotherapy intervention "CPT" show improve in vital signs values after different CPT techniques, also CPT decrease the need of neonates to ventilator or oxygen support. In addition, CPT has good effect on neonates’ lungs like airway clearance, decrease secretion and improve breath and lung function. But some studies didn’t support the routinely performed of CPT techniques on neonate in NICU because there was no significant improvement on neonates that require using extra interventions "CPT techniques" in addition to the usual treatment "medical intervention". CONCLUSION: Evidence supports that the use of chest physiotherapy is safe and effective in treatment neonates with respiratory problem such as bronchiolitis, pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome and many other respiratory problems. Studies found that the CTP improve oxygenation level, decrease secretion, promoting ease of breathing and reduce the need to ventilators.

    Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Protocol Among Post COVID-19 Patients with Persistent Symptoms Worldwide: A Systematic Review Study
    (2021) Batool Amleh; Rawan Zedan; Samah Subuh; Sarah Sleleh; Shahd Mseme; TasneemNadi
    Introduction: Since 2020 the world witnessed a new epidemic called COVID-19 that completely turned everything upside down and made all people get attracted to this cursed pandemic. So, most scientists and researchers united their effort to find and know anything about this epidemic, so as physical therapist students we decided to look for something related to our specialty and see the role of physiotherapy in the treatment of persistent symptoms post COVID-19 patients since many patients still reporting fatigue, dyspnea, joint, and chest pain. Aim: We aim to find out the physiotherapy rehabilitation protocol post-COVID-19 patients with persistent symptoms worldwide. Methods: A systematic review study design was used to conduct data with 10 studies included and 28 studies excluded, collected from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Oxford Academy after assessing inclusion and exclusion criteria for each article. Result:10 articles were included in this review, evidence from nine observational articles demonstrated that SARS-CoV patient’s persistent symptoms had improved after physical therapy rehabilitation in comparison to control group (healthy or lung condition), after assessing several outcome measures such as 6MWT, FIM scale, Borg scale, and lung function tests (FVC, FEV1, DLCO). Evidence from one randomized controlled trial (RCT) found that a rehabilitation protocol consisting of respiratory muscle training, cough exercises, diagrammatic training, and stretching exercises significantly improved pulmonary function in comparison to a control group. Conclusion: Dyspnea, fatigue, pulmonary dysfunction, and general weakness were the significant remaining impairments post-COVID-19 infection. Researchers and clinicians can use these findings to understand the potential impairments and rehabilitation needs of people recovering from the current COVID-19 persistent symptoms. All the included articles demonstrated that exercise can improve pulmonary rehabilitation and had a positive impact on functional capacity despite the variability in the severity of these post-COVID-19 patients, which can improve respiratory function, strength, decrease dyspnea and fatigue but has little significant improvement on depression in the elderly. Further research is required to determine the effectiveness of exercise in people recovering from similar infections (e.g., COVID-19).
