Aerobic exercise in adult neuromuscular rehabilitation

a survey of healthcare professionals

Voorn, E.L., Koopman, F., Nollet, F., & Brehm, M.A. (2019). Aerobic exercise in adult neuromuscular rehabilitation: a survey of healthcare professionals. Journal of rehabilitation medicine 51 (pp. 518-524)

This survey of Dutch rehabilitation specialists and physical therapists, specialized in neuromuscular diseases, aimed to evaluate how often and what way aerobic exercise is applied in clinical practice. The results showed that all respondents prescribed aerobic exercise and in a wide variety of neuromuscular diseases. However, all respondents also experienced one or more barriers to aerobic exercise and, most importantly, more than three-quarters reported a need for support. The preferred method of support is through the development of guidelines, with a focus on the screening procedures (to assess the need for aerobic training) and design of training programmes.
