Effects of home-based lower limb resistance training on muscle strength and functional status in stable Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
This study aimed to determine the effect of home-based lower limb resistance training (LLRT) in patients with stable COPD. ⋯ Our developed home-based LLRT intervention is simple, safe and feasible in stable COPD patients and could hence be promoted in clinical practice.

To predict the risk factors related to newly diagnosed psychiatric disorders resulting from spinal cord injuries (SCIs). ⋯ This study showed that psychiatric disorders may be associated with the development of SCI, and that this risk was more predominant in females with SCI. Our results are of direct clinical relevance as they are meant to assist clinical assessment, counselling, guidance of symptomatic monitoring and early clinical intervention.
