Objectives: To examine the functional outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who underwent a new protocol-based rehabilitation program.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we enrolled patients who were hospitalised in a university hospital in Japan because of COVID-19 from 1st September, 2020–5th July, 2021. The primary outcome was the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) subtotal score for motor items at discharge. The secondary outcomes included the FIM cognitive subtotal score, length of hospital stay, rehabilitation period, total rehabilitation time, final rehabilitation protocol level, and discharge destination.Results: Of the 78 enrolled patients (49 men; mean age [standard deviation], 70.3 [13.9] years), 24 died (30.8%) during hospitalisation. Disease severity was classified as mild, moderate I, moderate II, and severe in 1, 6, 41, and 30 patients, respectively. The FIM motor subtotal score differed significantly among groups for all participants (p=0.027). Post hoc analysis revealed that the FIM motor subtotal score in the severe group was significantly lower than that in the moderate II group (p=0.030).Conclusions: Disease severity significantly affected patients’ functional outcome for COVID-19 at discharge. Our protocol-based program provides a benchmark for COVID-19 rehabilitation in an acute care setting.

Matsuda F, Mukaino M, Ohtsuka K, Tanikawa H, Tsuchiyama K, Teranishi T, Kanada Y, Kagaya H, Saitoh E. Analysis of strategies used by hemiplegic stroke patients to achieve toe clearance. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2016; 7: 111-118.Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the extent to which lower limb shortening and compensatory movements contribute to toe clearance during swing, and to identify the different strategies employed by healthy individuals and hemiplegic stroke patients to achieve toe clearance.Methods: The subjects comprised 18 hemiplegic stroke patients and 18 healthy individuals matched for age, gender, and walking speed. We calculated toe clearance and its components for comparison between the two groups. We also calculated the correlations between the components.Results: The foot-to-floor distance during mid-swing was smaller in hemiplegic stroke patients than in healthy individuals. Regarding the components, shortening of hip-toe length (SHTL) was smaller in stroke patients, whereas upward movement of the hip due to pelvic obliquity, upward movement of the foot due to abduction, and upward movement of the contralateral hip were all greater. Among hemiplegic stroke patients, there were significant negative correlations between SHTL and the other components.Conclusions: Hemiplegic stroke patients achieved smaller upward movement by lower limb shortening compared with healthy individuals. The contribution of hip hiking and other compensatory movements that correlated to SHTL appeared to be important in achieving toe clearance.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and acceptability of a newly developed tele-rehabilitation exercise system using computer-generated animation.Methods: The participants comprised a convenience sample of 38 diverse individuals in Experiment 1 (15 healthy young people, 16 healthy older people, 5 patients with stroke, and 2 patients with respiratory disease) and 18 healthy older individuals in Experiment 2. Experiment 1 assessed safety in terms of cardiopulmonary vascular aspects and risk of fall, and Experiment 2 assessed treatment acceptability via a subjective evaluation. All participants completed the same exercise program. The safety assessment was conducted using heart rate (HR) and saturation of percutaneous oxygen (SpO2), measured before and after exercise. In addition, the occurrence of falls was assessed. For the acceptability assessment, the participants answered five questions (three-point Likert scale) after the exercise program.Results: The safety assessment indicated that HR and SpO2 changed from 70.5±10.2 beats per minute and 97.8±1.3% before exercise to 87.6±13.6 beats per minute and 98.2±0.9% after exercise, respectively. In addition, all participants completed the exercises without experiencing any falls. In the acceptability assessment, the score reflecting continuation desire was the highest of the five items examined (2.71±0.46). In contrast, the adequacy of exercise intensity had the lowest score (1.29±0.57).Conclusions: The present system was confirmed to be safe, and the participants were motivated to continue the exercises. Future developments should incorporate a function to enable participants and medical staff to adjust exercise intensity according to individual physical function.
