Objective To elucidate the critical role of rehabilitation medical records (including electronic records) in rehabilitation medicine's clinical practice and management, comprehensively analyzed the structure, core content and data standards of rehabilitation medical records, to develop a standardized medical record data architecture and core dataset suitable for rehabilitation medicine and to explore the application of rehabilitation data in performance evaluation and payment.

Methods Based on the regulatory documents Basic Specifications for Medical Record Writing and Basic Specifications for Electronic Medical Records (Trial) issued by National Health Commission of China, and referencing the World Health Organization (WHO) Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs) classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), this study constructed the data architecture, core content and data standards for rehabilitation medical records. Furthermore, it explored the application of rehabilitation record summary sheets (home page) data in rehabilitation medical statistics and payment methods, including Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG), Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) and Case Mix Index.

Results This study proposed a systematic standard framework for rehabilitation medical records, covering key components such as patient demographics, rehabilitation diagnosis, functional assessment, rehabilitation treatment prescriptions, progress evaluations and discharge summaries. The research analyzed the systematic application methods and data standards of ICD-10/ICD-11, ICF and ICHI Beta-3 in the fields of medical record terminology, coding and assessment. Constructing a standardized data structure and data standards for rehabilitation medical records can significantly improve the quality of data reporting based on the medical record summary sheet, thereby enhancing the quality control of rehabilitation services, effectively supporting the optimization of rehabilitation medical insurance payment mechanisms, and contributing to the establishment of rehabilitation medical performance evaluation and payment based on DRG and DIP.

Conclusion Structured rehabilitation records and data standardization are crucial tools for quality control in rehabilitation. Systematically applying the three reference classifications of the WHO-FICs, and aligning with national medical record and electronic health record specifications, facilitate the development of a standardized rehabilitation record architecture and core dataset. Standardizing rehabilitation care pathways based on the ICF methodology, and developing ICF- and ICD-11-based rehabilitation assessment tools, auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and supporting terminology and coding systems, can effectively enhance the quality of rehabilitation records and enable interoperability and sharing of rehabilitation data with other medical data, ultimately improving the quality and safety of rehabilitation services.

Objective To evaluate the benefits of physical activity on the physical health, mental health and health behaviors related to physical activity in obese and overweight children and adolescents.

Methods Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library and CNKI for systematic reviews or meta-analyses published between 2016 and 2024 in Science Citation Index Q4 or higher journals, related to physical activity or exercise for physical and mental health in obese and overweight children and adolescents. They were assessed using AMSTAR 2 tool to ensure that the methodological quality was medium to high.

Results A total of eight systematic reviews and meta-analyses involving 24 567 participants were included. Six studies were of high quality, and two were of moderate quality. In terms of physical health, combined aerobic and resistance exercise interventions demonstrated the most significant improvements in reducing body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage. Moderate-to-high-intensity exercise performed three times per week, at least 60 minutes per session, over twelve weeks or longer significantly reduced BMI and body fat percentage in obese and overweight children while improving cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular strength. In terms of mental health, physical activity was positive in reducing depression and anxiety, and improving self-esteem in children and adolescents. Activities such as dance, outdoor adventure programs and team sports notably enhanced social skills and emotional well-being. For neurodevelopmental disorders, low-intensity activities like aquatic walking and yoga significantly improved self-regulation and social interaction abilities. In terms of health-related behaviors, physical activity interventions promoted the development of exercise habits, improved social interaction skills, increased physical activity participation, reduced sedentary behavior, and enhanced health and physical activity knowledge. In terms of multi-modal interventions, programs combining aerobic exercise with nutrition education or psychological counseling were more effective in improving overall health compared to single-modal interventions. Health-promoting schools (HPS) approach, integrating school, family and community involvement, effectively increased students' physical activity levels, reduced obesity rates, and improved mental health outcomes.

Conclusion Physical activity is benefit in physical and mental health for obese and overweight children and adolescents. Moderate-to-high-intensity aerobic and resistance training, dance, and outdoor activities are effective interventions for improving body composition and mental health. Multi-modal interventions and HPS strategies can yield sustained health benefits.

The main effect of time was significant in scores of UCLA, CMS, and physical health and mental health of SF-36 (F > 498.102, P< 0.001), which improved after treatment (P< 0.001). The main effect of group was significant in score of mental health of SF-36 (F = 7.408, P= 0.002), which was the most in the home-based group four and eight weeks after treatment (P< 0.01). The interaction was significant in score of physical health of SF-36 (F = 10.138, P< 0.001), which was the least in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (P< 0.05). The main effect of time was significant in every direction of ROM, which improved after treatment (P< 0.001). The interaction was significant in ROM of abduction and external rotation (F > 4.059, P< 0.01), and almost significant in ROM of flexion (F = 2.412, P= 0.055). However, ROM of flexion was less in the home-based group than in the combined group four weeks after treatment (P= 0.047), which was less in the home-based group than in the conventional group eight weeks after treatment (P= 0.042); ROM of abduction was the least in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (P< 0.01), which was less in the home-based group than in the combined group eight weeks after treatment (P= 0.046); ROM of external rotation was less in the home-based group than in the combined group four weeks after treatment (P= 0.022).

Conclusion Home exercise is effective on pain, function and quality of life in patients after operation for rotator cuff injury. There are benefits with both home exercise and institution-based rehabilitation, and almost the same in a whole eight weeks after treatment.

Objective To analyze the impact of different clinical and rehabilitation characteristics on the prognosis of diabetic foot amputees.

Methods Related literatures were searched in CNKI, Wanfang Data, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar from establishment to August, 2024. The literatures were screened and extracted by two researchers independently, the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the evaluation criteria recommended by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (US) were used for quality evaluation, and literatures with above medium quality were included, and a systematic review was conducted.

Results A total of 17 articles involving 9 239 subjects were included, in which three were Chinese, and 14 were English. The study designs were case-control study, cohort study and cross-sectional study. They mainly came from the fields of rehabilitation medicine, orthopedics, sports medicine and disability studies, and were published between 1998 to 2023. Clinical and rehabilitation characteristics related to the prognosis of diabetic foot amputees included amputation level, socioeconomic determinants (educational attainment, economic status, social participation, etc.), psychological states (anxiety, depression, etc.) and physiological factors (age, gender, pain, prosthetic limb usage, and ambulatory capacity, etc.). These different characteristics could affect the quality of life of diabetic foot amputees, and even lead to re-amputation or death.

Conclusion Factors of amputation level, socioeconomic status, psychological status and physiological status are important for poor prognosis in diabetic foot amputees. Controlling the above factors can effectively reduce the re-amputation rate and mortality, and improve the quality of life in diabetic foot amputees, thus improving their prognosis, and promoting functional rehabilitation.

Objective To analyze the data structure and standards of rehabilitation outpatient medical records, to provide data support for improving the quality of rehabilitation outpatient care and developing medical insurance payment policies.

Methods Based on the normative documents issued by the National Health Commission, Basic Standards for Medical Record Writing and Standards for Electronic Medical Record Sharing Documents, in accordance with the Quality Management Regulations for Outpatient (Emergency) Diagnosis and Treatment Information Pages (Trial), reference to the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), the data framework and content of rehabilitation outpatient medical records were determined, and the data standards were discussed.

Results This study constructed a data framework for rehabilitation outpatient medical records, including four main components: patient basic information, visit process information, diagnosis and treatment information, and cost information. Three major reference classifications of WHO-FICs, International Classification of Diseases, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and International Classification of Health Interventions,were used to establish diagnostic standards and standardized terminology, as well as coding disease diagnosis, functional description, functional assessment, and rehabilitation interventions, to improve the quality of data reporting, and level of quality control in rehabilitation.

Conclusion The structuring and standardization of rehabilitation outpatient medical records are the foundation for sharing of rehabilitation data. The using of the three major classifications of WHO-FICs is valuable for the terminology and coding of disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and intervention in rehabilitation outpatient medical records, which is significant for sharing and interconnectivity of rehabilitation outpatient data, as well as for optimizing the quality and safety of rehabilitation medical services.

Objective To investigate the effect of closed-chain exercise training on hemiplegic shoulder pain and shoulder joint stability in stroke patients, and to explore the relationship between hemiplegic shoulder pain and shoulder joint stability.

Methods A total of 52 stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain in Jiangsu Province Hospital from October, 2020 to January, 2023 were selected, and were randomly divided into control group (n = 26) and experimental group (n = 26). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the experimental group additionally underwent closed-chain exercise training for shoulder joint. Pain severity and motor function were assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) before and after intervention. Musculoskeletal ultrasound was used to measure acromion-greater tuberosity distance (AGT), acromion-lesser tuberosity distance (ALT), acromiohumeral distance (AHD) and supraspinatus thickness (SST) to evaluate shoulder joint stability. Correlation analysis was conducted on the improvements in shoulder pain and shoulder joint stability in the experimental group.

Results Two cases in the control group and two in the experimental group dropped down. Both groups showed significant improvements in VAS and FMA-UE scores after intervention (|t| > 5.214, P < 0.001), and the scores improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.087, P < 0.05). The experimental group also showed significant improvements in AGT, ALT, AHD and SST (|t| > 4.187, P < 0.001), with AGT, ALT and AHD being superior to those in the control group (|t| > 2.155, P < 0.05). The difference of VAS score in the experimental group was correlated with the difference of FMA-UE, AGT and ALT after intervention (r > 0.434, P < 0.05).

Conclusion Closed-chain shoulder exercise training can significantly improve shoulder joint stability while alleviating shoulder pain, and effectively enhancing upper limb function in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. Hemiplegic shoulder pain is correlated with shoulder joint stability.

Objective To observe the effect of intelligent flexible ankle stretching training on lower extremity spasm in patients with spinal cord injury.

Methods From June, 2021 to May, 2024, 28 patients with spinal cord injury were randomly divided into control group (n = 14) and experimental group (n = 14). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the control group received manual extension treatment, and the experimental group received intelligent flexible ankle stretching system training, for eight weeks. The modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), ankle dorsiflexion angle, Clinical Spasticity Index (CSI), max root mean square (RMSmax) of surface electromyography of gastrocnemius medial head and vibration perception threshold (VPT) of great toe were compared.

Results After treatment, MAS (χ2 = 10.378, P = 0.035), ankle dorsiflexion angle (Z = -3.306, P < 0.001), CSI (t = 4.101, P = 0.001) and RMSmax of gastrocnemius medial head (Z = -3.296, P < 0.001) improved in the experimental group, while MAS (χ2 = 11.418, P = 0.022), ankle dorsiflexion angle (Z = -1.986, P = 0.047) and RMSmax of gastrocnemius medial head (Z = -2.297, P = 0.021) were better in the experimental group than in the control group. Although VPT was improved after treatment, no significant difference was found within and beteen groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusion The intelligent flexible ankle stretching training could improve the lower limb muscle spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury, and may be benefit for foot proprioception.
