STRIVE Principles
Published in James Crossley, Functional Exercise and Rehabilitation, 2021
Functional training is designed to improve the ease, accuracy and efficiency of functional movement, developing an individual’s ability to walk, run, jump, bend, lift, twist, reach, push and pull in lots of different directions and in lots of interesting and unusual ways. Whilst conventional training focuses on the physiological factors that underpin performance, muscle mass and lung capacity and the like, the brain is the coordination center of the body. The functional mind regulates movement, pain and performance, and therefore if we want to improve performance, we have to engage the mind.
Management of COVID-19 Rehabilitation Nursing
Published in Wenguang Xia, Xiaolin Huang, Rehabilitation from COVID-19, 2021
The physical dysfunction of COVID-19 patients is usually characterized by general fatigue, easy fatigue, and muscle soreness, some of which may be accompanied by muscle atrophy and decreased muscle strength. Strengthen the original decreased muscle through muscle strength training. Enhance muscle endurance so that the muscle can maintain long-term contraction. Functional training enhances muscle strength through muscle training, which prepares the patient for functional training for balance and coordination gait in the future.
Outcome after fracture

There is evidence that the model of care can have an impact on the outcome of health-related quality of life. A home based physical therapy program that included exercises for muscle strengthening, range of motion, balance and functional training led to improvements in both psychological and physical domains of health-related quality of life.55
Clinical utility during inpatient rehabilitation of a clinical prediction rule for ambulation prognosis following spinal cord injury

Functional training is a major component of rehabilitation after spinal cord injury (SCI). Greater functional independence at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation is associated with a higher level of participation, which in turn is associated with better quality of life years later.1 Mobility training, in particular, is of high priority, as mobility is strongly associated with quality of life in chronic SCI.2 Mobility within the home and community can be accomplished through walking, using a wheelchair, or a combination of the two. Goal-setting and program planning in physical therapy includes a determination of which of these modes of locomotion to prioritize. For this reason, mobility prognosis is a key focus during rehabilitation for individuals following an SCI.

RCTS and meta-analysis studies has shown that various types of exercise, such as strength, aerobic, balancing, dance, boxing and flexibility, are beneficial at behavioral level for PD [12,55,62,63]. Furthermore, functional training or task-specific training, is used to achieve improvement in functional mobility, more specifically through strength training, resistance, balance and flexibility. Task-Specific Training is extremely important in exercise programs for PD because it facilitates the transfer of benefits from the basic exercise components to improve overall functionality. Therefore, due to the combination of physical skills in just one task, it seems that task-specific training is more effective, since it leads to functional gains, such as improvement in gait, mobility, and activities of daily living (ADL) and reduction in the number of falls [43,49]. Given the task- and context-specific benefits of exercise in PD, functional training, e.g. dual-task, gait and sit and stand exercises, are also important elements to improve mobility [64].

The established treatment themes of tone management, activity tolerance, access to environment, ADL’s, and functional training also played an integral role in guiding OT interventions throughout the rehabilitation process. Tone management was a primary consideration due to upper extremity spasticity and to facilitate functional movement. With increased upper extremity AROM and strength, OT progressed to functional training utilizing the patient’s valued occupations and interests to promote recovery. Upright tolerance was addressed through out-of-bed ADL training and neuromuscular re-education focused on trunk control and postural alignment. Access to the patient’s environment was vital for engagement in her physical surroundings and personal interests. While OT holds a unique role in promoting independence through functional participation, a comprehensive plan of care was achieved through combining this approach with the established treatment themes.
