Important Trend

In a chronic and disabling disease like multiple sclerosis, rehabilitation programs are of major importance for the preservation of physical, physiological, social and professional functioning and improvement of quality of life. Currently, it is generally assumed that physical activity is an important component of non-pharmacological rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis. Properly organized exercise is a safe and efficient way to induce improvements in a number of physiological functions. A multidisciplinary rehabilitative approach should be recommended. The main recommendations for the use of exercise for patients with multiple sclerosis have been listed. An important aspect of the modern physical rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis is the usage of high-tech methods. The published results of robot-assisted training to improve the hand function and walking impairment have been represented. An important trend in the rehabilitation of patients with multiple sclerosis is the reduction of postural disorders through training balance coordination. The role of transcranial magnetic stimulation in spasticity reducing is being investigated. The use of telemedicine capabilities is quite promising. Due to the fact that the decline in physical activity can lead to the deterioration of many aspects of physiological functions and, ultimately, to mobility decrease, further research of the role of physical rehabilitation as an important therapeutic approach in preventing the progression of disability in multiple sclerosis is required.

Neurophysiological Mechanisms

Manual therapy has long been a component of physical rehabilitation programs, especially to treat those in pain. The mechanisms of manual therapy, however, are not fully understood, and it has been suggested that its pain modulatory effects are of neurophysiological origin and may be mediated by the descending modulatory circuit. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to examine the neurophysiological response to different types of manual therapy, in order to better understand the neurophysiological mechanisms behind each therapy’s analgesic effects. It is concluded that different forms of manual therapy elicit analgesic effects via different mechanisms, and nearly all therapies appear to be at least partially mediated by descending modulation. Additionally, future avenues of mechanistic research pertaining to manual therapy are discussed.

The role of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) is well established in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease and heart failure. Many clinical trials demonstrated effectiveness of CCR in improving exercise capacity, quality of life, and in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, even before the era of the COVID-19 pandemic comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program’s implementation, especially the second phase, had many barriers. One of the main reasons for not attending in second phase of CCR was lack of transportation from patient’s home to rehabilitation centers. Additionally, in recent months COVID-19 pandemic has led to closure of many cardiac rehabilitation centres resulting in many eligible patients unable to participate in the optimisation of secondary prevention. During the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic, hybrid telerehabilitation has become the leading solution in the cardiac rehabilitation programs. The present paper contains key information about structures, effectives and safety of hybrid telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 era.

Introduction: The declaration of COVID 19 pandemic by WHO on 11th March 2020, is the dening global health crisis of the past 100 years. The following Nationwide survey was conducted to ascertain the sea changes this pandemic has brought in the physiatrist practice, patient management and preparing oneself to the challenges of rehabilitation in the POST COVID world. The survey covers the role and importance of social media in medical education and consultation in a POST COVID world. It also sheds light on the nancial implications and personal lifestyle changes that physiatrists are witnessing. A Google form comprising of 74 questions, divided in 3 se Material &Methods: ctions, was used to gather the requisite data on :- A) PRECOVID practice, management and lifestyle; B) Life during COVID pandemic; and C) Anticipated changes in POST COVID era. The survey was circulated to 400 physiatrist via various interactive groups who have been practicing either independently or in govt setups and associated hospitals nationwide. They were requested to submit their responses in a period of 30 days. In PRECOVID era an average Result: physiatrist was nely balancing his profession, personal lifestyle, learning and recreation. The LOCKDOWN clamped their practice which lead to nancial drought but hardly made a dent in productivity by engaging in webinars, reading and researching. The POST COVID time demands implementation of newer safety protocols like changes in setup, regulating the patient trafc, limiting daily procedures, engaging in distance learning through virtual conferences, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and constructing proper protocols for pulmonary, neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation programs for patients post recovery from COVID19, especially the patients weaning from ventilators. Conclusion: The effect of COVID19 demands major change in physiatrist professional practice like limiting consultation, following safety protocols, COVID testing, preparing consolidated program for POSTCOVID sequel. Social media is rightly poised to be a major tool for education, consultation, marketing and awareness. The role of teleconsultation needs to be reprised, recognised and regularised. Webinars and virtual conferences will nd more takers in future.

Adolescence is a time of change marking the transition from childhood to adulthood. When a teenager is ill and requiring hospitalization many of the constructs upon which individual identity rests such as contact with peers, and social belonging, can become compromised. Music therapy offers a way to address the personal and psychological stress that can result from hospitalization. In this chapter the authors highlight conditions in medicine that are common to teens. Music psychotherapy approaches are described that promote expression in individual and group modalities, and can also provide avenues for self-reflection related to the disease process, such as the receiving of a new diagnosis, or in cases where traumatic injury has occurred. The role of the music therapist in working with the medical team, the patient, and the patient’s family is presented with reference to the detailed knowledge and experience of the authors in providing music psychotherapy to adolescents.

Musical Interactions

Often through the course of work with a patient, issues arise which challenge one's role as a music therapist, and which lead one to question the limits of the experiences being offered to the patient. In this paper I describe my work with a woman who initially avoided and resisted shared music-making, and who gradually became more able to be involved in spontaneous activity. I tried to find ways of understanding the issues at the root of our relationship, in order to build on the musical interactions. From this case, I intend to illustrate the deeper questions which, I believe, are pertinent to be asked more generally about the limitations attending the role of the music therapist.
