Large trial studying a contemporary neuroscience therapy for chronic whiplash.

Trial integrating stress management in the neuroscience approach for whiplash.

Assess if a contemporary neuroscience therapy can decrease central sensitization.

This trial may provide new improved treatment guidelines for chronic whiplash.

This trial may be used as a basis for recommendations to health authorities.

The distribution of foot strike patterns was predominantly rearfoot for shod and barefoot tests.

The running condition, speed, and type of footwear were associated with foot strike patterns.

Participants running shod were more likely to present a rearfoot pattern compared to those running barefoot.

Infants adopt their inter-limb kicking when learning a task.

Dissociated intra-joint (hip-ankle) coupling during kicking is measured.

External feedback may be a key to the development of lower extremity motor control.

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.

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.

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.

This study will apply scapular movement training in individuals with shoulder pain.

Scapular kinematics, EMG and clinical outcomes will be assessed.

Results will contribute to the evidence-based practice of scapular focused-approach.

Guideline adherence for low back pain is very low among physical therapy students.

Fourth year students show more biopsychosocial beliefs and more guideline adherent recommendations than 2nd-year students.

Biomedical beliefs are associated with poor adherence to evidence based guidelines.

A personal history of low back pain is not associated with beliefs or attitudes.

Obesity in older adults is associated with postural imbalance on unstable surfaces.

Obesity in older adults is not associated with increased fear of falling.

Overweight is not associated with imbalance on unstable surfaces.
