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.

In recent years virtual reality (VR) has been used alone and as an adjunct intervention in the treatment of patients with cerebral palsy (CP).
- •
VR plus conventional rehabilitation can improve upper limb function and lower limb strength in patients with CP.
- •
VR alone is no better than other treatments to improve upper and lower limb function in patients with CP.
- •
VR alone can improve postural control, balance, and lower limb function in patients with CP.
- •
Further research is needed to better define the effectiveness of VR in patients with CP.

mHealth apps offer potential to assist the self-management of UI.
- •
Apps for UI in Brazil are not credible and need major improvements.
- •
None of the apps were used as an intervention in a RCT.
- •
Self-management support is person-centred care reinforcing patient autonomy.
- •
Avoid strong clinician control and help patients developing self-efficacy.
- •
Let patients’ value-based goals and shared decisions guide management.
- •
Help patients make sense of symptoms and reframe unhelpful perspectives.
Use supervised exercises as a tool to practice problem-solving skills
- •
There are overlapping sources of symptoms in patients with low back pain (LBP).
- •
A hypothesis-driven, probabilistic approach may therefore be needed.
- •
This model integrates the principles of mechanism, location, and mechanical input.
- •
The utilization of this model may help to develop reflection on and in action.
- •
Hip extensors (HEX) torque was able to predict hip external rotators (HER) torque.
- •
Both measures were strongly correlated in adults and older individuals.
- •
There is no difference between directly measured and predicted values of HER torque.
- •
The prediction equation was valid and accurate to estimate HER torque.
- •
The “early CPAP” protocol was implemented using intermediate pressures of 6–7 cmH2O.
- •
A decrease in intubation rate and days of invasive ventilation were observed.
- •
A reduction of exogenous surfactant use and length of hospital stay were observed.
- •
The protocol used simple and affordable equipment and could be reproduced.
- •
The use of the ProFibro app for six weeks was not more effective than the use of a traditional paper book with similar content for health-related quality of life, symptoms, or self-care agency in individuals with fibromyalgia.
- •
Improvements on severity of symptoms in both groups suggest that the self-care program using a mobile app or a paper book may be beneficial in individuals with fibromyalgia.
- •
The Sleep Strategies was the most used function of the ProFibro app, followed by the Exercise Program, and the diary for the practice of gratitude.
- •
People with PD with executive dysfunction have multiple motor, sensory, and balance impairments
- •
Executive dysfunction is an independent risk factor for falls in people with PD
- •
Balance and executive function interventions may prevent falls in people with PD
- •
The AIMS normative age scale is appropriate for Brazilian infants.
- •
The sequence of gross motor development for Brazilian infants is similar to Canadian infants.
- •
Ages of attainment vary for some items between samples.
- •
We identified the ICF categories relevant to describe the problems and resources of women in the postpartum period.
- •
The list of ICF categories comprises all components of the ICF framework.
- •
Physical therapists had a higher agreement about the relevant aspects for the assessment of the postpartum women.
- •
ICF can be used for professionals in this category to improve their evaluations and clinical practice.
- •
The Brazilian heiQ showed acceptable reliability and internal consistency
- •
The Brazilian heiQ showed acceptable construct validity in individuals with low back pain
- •
Correlations between pain and functioning outcomes versus heiQ scales (≅40%) were significant
- •
Correlations between affective and general health versus heiQ scales (75%) were significant
- •
The minimum detectable difference for heiQ scales scores ranged from 2.84 to 4.94

a statistical plan of a randomised controlled trial of a clinical pathway of care for whiplash.
- •
The clinical trial aims to improve outcomes after whiplash injury.
- •
Primary outcomes are global recovery and neck disability.
