The authors respond
We thank Wernig and colleague for their comments and for generating important discussion around this topic. While treadmill training has been investigated in adult patient populations for some time, we have only recently begun to see rigorous investigation of the benefits of this intervention for children with cerebral palsy.

No Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Training on Muscle Strength and Gait Performance in Persons With Late Effects of Polio: A Pilot Study
Conclusions: This pilot study did not show any significant improvements in knee muscle strength and gait performance following a standard protocol of WBV training. Thus, the results do not lend support to WBV training for people with late effects of polio. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)...

Adverse Events Reported in Progressive Resistance Strength Training Trials in Older Adults: 2 Sides of a Coin
Conclusions: Adverse events may be underreported because there is no consensus on the definition. Reporting adverse events associated with progressive resistance strength training in older adults is informative for practitioners to translate clinical research to clinical practice by knowing both the benefits and risks. Future trials should clearly define adverse events and report them in the published article. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)...

Inspiratory Muscle Training for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Practical Guide for Clinicians
Abstract: Hill K, Cecins NM, Eastwood PR, Jenkins SC. Inspiratory muscle training for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a practical guide for clinicians.Reduced inspiratory muscle strength is common in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with dyspnea and decreased exercise capacity. Most studies of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in COPD have demonstrated increased inspiratory muscle strength. Many have also shown improvements in dyspnea and exercise capacity. However, a persisting challenge when translating and applying the findings of these studies in clinical practice is the disparity in training loads, modalities, and outcomes measures used in the different studies. This commentary summarizes our clinical and research experien......

Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Balance in Persons With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Conclusions: PR contributed to minor improvements in balance and had no effect on balance confidence in subjects with COPD. Further work is warranted to determine the optimal intervention for improving balance in this population. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)...

Minimal Detectable Change in Quadriceps Strength and Voluntary Muscle Activation in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Conclusions: Maximal quadriceps isokinetic strength, isometric strength, and percentage of voluntary activation measures demonstrate excellent test-retest reliability in patients with knee OA. In addition to research applications, the present findings suggest these measures are appropriate for use when evaluating change in neuromuscular function of the quadriceps in individual patients.

Learning to Control Opening and Closing a Myoelectric Hand
Conclusions: Acquired control of a myoelectric hand is irrespective of the type of training. Prosthetic users may differ in learning capacity; this should be taken into account when choosing the appropriate type of control for each patient.

Cognitive and Behavioral Impairment in Traumatic Brain Injury Related to Outcome and Return to Work
Abstract: Benedictus MR, Spikman JM, van der Naalt J. Cognitive and behavioral impairment in traumatic brain injury related to outcome and return to work.Objective: To evaluate the cognitive and behavioral disturbances related to return to work (RTW) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with the application of a differentiated outcome scale.Design: Longitudinal cohort study.Setting: Level I trauma center.Participants: Adults (N=434) with TBI of various severity.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E), Differentiated Outcome Scale (DOS), and RTW.Results: Patients encountered problems in the physical (40%), cognitive (62%), behavioral (55%), and social domains (49%) of the DOS, with higher frequency related to severity of injury.

Effects of Midodrine Hydrochloride on Blood Pressure and Cerebral Blood Flow During Orthostasis in Persons With Chronic Tetraplegia
Conclusions: These findings suggest that midodrine 10mg may be efficacious for treatment of hypotension and orthostatic hypotension in select persons with tetraplegia. Although midodrine is routinely prescribed to treat orthostatic hypotension, the results of our work suggests limited efficacy of this agent, but additional studies in a larger sample of subjects with spinal cord injury should be performed.

Predicting Exercise Capacity Through Submaximal Fitness Tests in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis
Conclusions: Patients with MS with a mild degree of disability exhibit marked reductions in exercise capacity. Also, in persons with MS, submaximal tests are good predictors of exercise capacity. These measures may be used in clinical settings to help assess and monitor maximum oxygen consumption and in research to evaluate the effect of exercise-related interventions. Furthermore, they will allow people with MS to self-monitor their exercise capacity and be more actively engaged in taking charge of their fitness level.
