The Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy (BJPT) is the official publication of the Brazilian Society of Physical Therapy Research and Graduate Studies (ABRAPG-Ft). It publishes original research articles on topics related to the areas of physical therapy and rehabilitation sciences, including clinical, basic or applied studies on the assessment, prevention, and treatment of movement disorders.

The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two receding years.

CiteScore measures average citations received per document published. Read more
SRJ is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of the journal's impact.
SNIP measures contextual citation impact by wighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.
- •
Explaining pain to patients who survived cancer should be individually tailored.
- •
Take the patient's pain beliefs, cognitions, pain memories, social factors and dominant pain mechanism into account.
- •
Explaining pain implies teaching patients about the underlying biopsychosocial mechanisms of pain.
- •
Pain neuroscience education is a potential solution to improve pain outcome in cancer survivors, but should never be a stand-alone treatment.
- •
Pain neuroscience education should precede interventions such as graded activity, exercise therapy, stress management, sleep management and dietary advice.
- •
NMES might be used as adjuvant therapy to improve sitting and standing GMFM dimensions.
- •
NMES is not better than PT alone to improve GMFM walking dimension.
- •
Further research is still necessary to determine the precise effects of NMES on GMFM.
- •
C1/C2 hypomobility is an important finding in women with migraine and is related to migraine chronicity.
- •
Mobility of the C1/C2 segment is influenced by neck pain related-disability.
- •
Chronic migraine patients have a reduced global cervical range of motion.
- •
Physical therapists from dermatology report having knowledge to be able to implement EBP.
- •
Physical therapists from dermatology believe having skills to be able to implement EBP.
- •
There were inconsistencies on some answers about knowledge and skills related to EBP.
- •
Associations between type and severity of hip pathology with pre-operative patient reported outcome measures were investigated.
- •
High prevalence of labral pathology and acetabular chondropathy were observed.
- •
Severe femoral head chondropathy and large labral tears are often undetected with imaging.
- •
Severe chondropathies are most associated with PROs; however only explain 22% of the variability.
- •
Impairment and activity measures were significantly correlated with ability of locomotion.
- •
Walking speed explained 35% of the variance in the ABILOCO scores.
- •
Locomotion ability may increase if attention is focused on increasing walking speed.
- •
Physical therapists routinely examine strength, range of motion and muscle flexibility of the hip(s) for individuals with low back pain.
- •
Physical therapists often provide strengthening and flexibility interventions targeting the hips for individuals with low back pain.
- •
Post-professional fellowship training as a physical therapist changed intervention selection to include more joint manual therapy and less muscle flexibility and modality usage.
- •
PNF training statistically improves pain intensity, disability and static balance of working-age CLBP people.
- •
Magnitudes of difference of outcomes between PNF training and general trunk exercises did not reach clinical important changes.
- •
The therapist should take into account to use these interventions in rehabilitation programme for CLBP patients.
- •
Nonspecific neck pain patients can be classified based on pain mechanisms.
- •
The proposed classification strategy has clinically acceptable interrater reliability.
- •
The classification holds the potential to guide physical therapy interventions.
- •
Validity testing is the necessary next step to justify this approach for clinical use.
- •
Low back pain trials are published in a variety of healthcare journals.
- •
The methodological quality of low back pain trials is moderate.
- •
55.5% of low back pain trials endorsed the CONSORT statement recommendations.
- •
Reporting guidelines should be strictly followed.
