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.
- •
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.
- •
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.
- •
The Spanish FMA-LE can be recommended for evaluation of motor impairment in stroke.
- •
Intra- and interrater reliability of the Spanish FMA-LE was excellent.
- •
Wider use of FMA-LE would allow worldwide comparisons of stroke recovery.
- •
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
- •
Patient education, physical exercise, and weight maintenance constitute the first-line knee osteoarthritis treatment approach.
- •
There is still neglect of evidence-based strategies in clinical practice.
- •
Less than 40% of patients with knee OA receive first-line treatment.
- •
The use of adjunct therapies, isolated or in association with gold-standard treatments, is questionable.
- •
Surgery is typically a last resort for the management of knee osteoarthritis.
