Shawon M, Hsu B, Chard R, Nicholson I, Elias V, Nicola L, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Jan; 14(1):2493. PMID: 38291336
We investigated the impact of distance covered in the six-minute walk test (6mWT) before being discharged from the hospital after cardiac surgery on the risk of all-cause mortality. Our study...

El-Ansary D, LaPier T, Adams J, Gach R, Triano S, Katijjahbe M, et al.
Phys Ther . 2019 Sep; 99(12):1587-1601. PMID: 31504913
Cardiac surgery via median sternotomy is performed in over 1 million patients per year worldwide. Despite evidence, sternal precautions in the form of restricted arm and trunk activity are routinely...

Mungovan S, Singh P, Gass G, Smart N, Hirschhorn A
J Rehabil Med . 2017 Jan; 49(1):71-77. PMID: 28101566
Objectives: To quantify physiotherapist-supervised and independent physical activity undertaken from the first to the fifth day after cardiac surgery (POD1 to POD5), and to relate the amount of physical activity...

Hirschhorn A, Lockhart J, Breckenridge J
BMC Musculoskelet Disord . 2015 Apr; 16:46. PMID: 25886361
Background: We undertook the current study to assess whether an accelerometer-based physical activity monitor, the SenseWear Mini Armband (SMA), could be used to provide data on static arm elevation, and...

Mungovan S, Huijbers B, Hirschhorn A, Patel M
Neurourol Urodyn . 2014 Nov; 35(2):225-9. PMID: 25418678
Aims: Pelvic floor muscle training for patients having radical prostatectomy promotes contraction of these muscles in anticipation of activities that may provoke urine leakage. The aims of this study were:...

Mungovan S, Huijbers B, Hirschhorn A, Patel M
BMC Urol . 2013 Dec; 13:67. PMID: 24289104
Background: Higher physical activity levels are continence-protective in non-prostate cancer populations. Primary aims of this study were to investigate changes in physical activity levels over the perioperative period in patients...

Hirschhorn A, Kolt G, Brooks A
BJU Int . 2013 Sep; 113(3):383-92. PMID: 24053154

Hirschhorn A, Kolt G, Brooks A
BMC Health Serv Res . 2013 Aug; 13:305. PMID: 23938150
Background: Strong evidence exists to support preoperative pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to reduce the severity and duration of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Receipt of preoperative PFMT amongst men...

Patel M, Yao J, Hirschhorn A, Mungovan S
Int J Urol . 2013 Feb; 20(10):986-92. PMID: 23432098
Objectives: Urinary incontinence is a predictable sequela of radical retropubic prostatectomy, and is most severe in the early postoperative phase. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a...
