- •
This systematic review identified 8 randomized clinical trials investigating the effect of blood flow restriction (BFR) in patients with knee pain.
- •
Resistance exercise with BFR did not show clinical benefits compared to resistance exercise.
- •
Further high-quality studies are needed to clearly determine the clinical effectiveness of BFR in pain intensity and knee function in these patients.
- •
Osteoarthritis promoted distinct modulation on MMP-2 in the quadriceps versus patellar tendon.
- •
There is peri-articular tissue adaptation to resistance training in osteoarthritis.
- •
Resistance training downregulates MMP-2 in quadriceps tendon, while in the patellar tendon its effects are limited.
- •
Understanding extracellular matrix degeneration is crucial for rehabilitation purposes of osteoarthritis.
- •
Total score of the Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire is valid.
- •
The Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire for low back pain is reliable.
- •
Standard Error of Measurement was 5.97 points.
- •
Minimum Detectable Change was 16.54 points.
- •
There is no association between uCTX-II and the knee joint load.
- •
The uCTX-II level is associated with pain and physical function.
- •
Knee joint load showed no association with pain and physical function.
- •
The FGA evaluates postural stability during various walking tasks.
- •
The FGA is now available in Brazilian-Portuguese language.
- •
The FGA-Brazil has overall excellent reliability and good internal consistency.
- •
The FGA-Brazil should be used both in clinical practice and for research purposes.
- •
Warm water immersion therapy (WWIT) reduces inflammatory pain in mice.
- •
Spinal inhibitory neuroreceptors are involved in WWIT-induced pain-relieving effect.
- •
Opioid, cannabinoid and adenosine receptors contribute to WWIT pain-relieving effect.
- •
The way to facilitate access to scientific articles is share the results of their studies over the internet.
- •
In order to measure the attention attracted online, a new score named Altmetric was created.
- •
There are no studies that have analysed associated factors of Altmetric score for systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines.
- •
Vestibular disorders have a negative impact on older adults’ physical performance and quality of life.
- •
Conventional and multimodal vestibular rehabilitation showed no difference on patient-reported outcomes.
- •
Vestibular rehabilitation changes patient-reported outcomes in older people with dizziness.
- •
All patient-reported outcomes changes were maintained during a short-term period of three months.
- •
It is hypothesized that Kinesio Taping® can change muscle activity in patients with low back pain.
- •
The Kinesio Taping® technique did not change the electromyographic signal intensity of the longissimus and iliocostalis muscles or reduce pain intensity in patients with chronic low back pain.
- •
More research on mechanisms of action is needed.
