7 The evidence favoured intensive, high repetition, task-oriented and task-specific training in all phases of post-stroke rehabilitation.
Virtual environments are considered beneficial in stroke rehabilitation because they enable more precisely controlled training settings, intensive practice with easier repetition of tasks, automatic recording of training progress, and more enjoyable and compelling interaction for the patients.
While the quality of recording for certain key elements (such as outcome status or regimen) seem to have improved with repetition of this intensive data cleaning process, there remain significant challenges in quality of secondary elements, such as pill counts and side effects.
Practically it is extremely difficult to collect observations following a fully sound statistical design, typically encompassing a high number of repetitions, of an intensive and elaborate experimental procedure such as flash pyrolysis reactor experiments.
The patients were administered pelvic tilt and modified straightening exercises, to be performed in two sets, each containing at least five repetitions during periods with intensive pain.
The programme is adapted to the demands of older people, for example by giving instruction more slowly and loudly, avoiding technical terms or giving more intensive practice and using defined numbers of repetitions.
Often, this process requires intensive data collection, monitoring from multiple locations and repetition of these actions at appropriate time intervals.
The strategies of intensive intervention demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing the number of SA repetitions at short and medium term, but their weakness lies in the institutional heaviness of deployment and their expensive financial costs.
Abbreviations: GMFCS = Gross Motor Function Classification System; RM = Repetition Maximum RM test procedures are known to be labour-intensive and time-consuming, and to require close and experienced supervision[ 19].
Other SRs found that intensive flexion and extension of the wrist for more than 2 h/day was associated with CTS, particularly in combination with repetition and forceful exertion.
