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.
- •
146 patients were rehabilitated by a mobile health program after arthroplasty
- •
Physical activity (PA) was recorded each day by means of fitness trackers
- •
Patient reached their pre-operative physical activity level at 7-week post-surgery
- •
This study identified predictors for physical activity recovery
- •
Huffing, HFOO, PEP and volume-based techniques were the most prescribed.
- •
Important regional differences were found across the country.
- •
Age influences the recommendation of techniques.
- •
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.

Migraine is associated with high levels of disability and comorbidities.
- •
Disability levels can be influenced by the presence of aura and migraine chronicity.
- •
Manual and exercise therapy aim to reduce musculoskeletal pain and sensitization.
- •
Balance and vestibular rehabilitation is suggested to enhance function and reduce dizziness.

Keep up to date in 15 areas of practice with PEDro’s ‘Evidence in your inbox’
- •
Language is a barrier to implementing research evidence into practice.
- •
Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) content is available in 13 languages.
- •
English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, and French PEDro content is used the most.
- •
Region-specific promotion of the underused PEDro content may facilitate global usage.
- •
Awareness and collaboration between stakeholders could reduce the language barrier.
