Towards strengthening rehabilitation within health systems: a scoping review of rehabilitation-specific quality indicators
Peer-reviewed literature was searched through PubMed and Web of Science. Grey literature was retrieved through Google Scholar, websites on professional quality standards and national QI repositories, reference tracking and expert consultation. Two reviewers independently screened 4,423 records following predefined eligibility criteria. Seventy-nine sources explicitly reporting QIs for rehabilitation were included (52 from peer-reviewed literature and 27 from grey literature).

The Italian version of the University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index (UWRI): cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability
Running is one of the most practiced sports worldwide, with an average of 621 million runners per year (The State of Running, 2019, accessed March 09, 2025; Zach et al., 2017). Similar statistics were reported in Italy, where running was the most frequently reported sport based on an online national survey in 2024 (Statista, accessed March 9, 2025).

Auditory-motor synchronization in developmental coordination disorder: Effects on interlimb coordination during walking and running
INTRODUCTION Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting around 6% of school-aged children.1 It is characterized by deficiencies in various aspects of motor coordination, predictive motor control, skill automatization, and postural control.2, 3 The manifestation and severity of DCD are heterogeneous4 and present without underlying neurological, intellectual, or visual deficits.1 These motor challenges negatively impact children's daily activities,...
Intermediate outcomes for clinical trials of multiple sclerosis rehabilitation interventions: Conceptual and practical considerations
Introduction Rehabilitation is an essential health service and a key strategy to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3: ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all people.1 As an essential health service, multidisciplinary rehabilitation is critical component of comprehensive MS care, across the spectrum of the disease.2 In 2022, Cochrane Rehabilitation developed the following definition for research purposes: In a healthcare context, rehabilitation is...
Effects of Peripheral Cooling on Upper Limb Tremor Severity and Functional Capacity in Persons with MS
4. Discussion The present study investigated whether or not cooling of the forearm or whole arm had effects on clinically rated tremor severity and functional performance in MS patients with intention tremor, and whether or not the effects were dependent on the cooling modality (active/passive cooling system) and application area (forearm/whole arm). In experiment 1, the forearm was cooled for 15 min with a cryomanchet or a cold pack in contrast with a control condition without cooling.

Clinical assessment, management, and rehabilitation of walking impairment in MS: an expert review
Introduction One of the most common and life-altering consequences of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is walking impairment. The distance, speed, and Gait pattern functions are components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and are also predictors of dependency in terms of daily living activities in patients with MS (pwMS).
Effects of a 10-week multimodal dance and art intervention program leading to a public performance in persons with Multiple Sclerosis - A controlled pilot-trial
Highlights • A 10 week individual choreo-based dance program was performed in pwMS • An art group served as a control group, including painting, spoken word, photo-and videography • Dance showed positive effects on fatigue, cognitive performance during a task and motor functions • The art group also showed improvement in fatigue, cognition and cognitive performance during a dual task • Both groups performed live on stage, sharing there MS perspective through Art and Dance • Larger sample...
Beyond therapists: Technology-aided physical MS rehabilitation delivery
Introduction on rehabilitation needs and approaches Due to central nervous system damage, persons with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) experience gait and mobility impairments, balance disorders, manual dexterity, arm function, fatigue, and cognitive impairments, with direct consequences on quality of life (QoL).

The Nine-Hole Peg Test as a manual dexterity performance measure for multiple sclerosis
Impaired manual dexterity is a frequently reported disability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and is increasingly prevalent with worsening disease. While various tests and patient-reported outcome measures are available, the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is considered as a gold standard measure of manual dexterity and most frequently used in MS research and clinical practice.
