C1/C2 hypomobility is an important finding in women with migraine and is related to migraine chronicity.

Mobility of the C1/C2 segment is influenced by neck pain related-disability.

Chronic migraine patients have a reduced global cervical range of motion.

Confidence intervals (CI) measure the uncertainty around effect estimates.

Frequentist 95% CI: we can be 95% confident that the true estimate would lie within the interval.

Bayesian 95% CI: there is a 95% probability that the true estimate would lie within the interval.

Decision-making should not be made considering only the dichotomized interpretation of CIs.

Training and education may enhance knowledge related to understanding and interpreting CIs.

Explaining pain to patients who survived cancer should be individually tailored.

Take the patient's pain beliefs, cognitions, pain memories, social factors and dominant pain mechanism into account.

Explaining pain implies teaching patients about the underlying biopsychosocial mechanisms of pain.

Pain neuroscience education is a potential solution to improve pain outcome in cancer survivors, but should never be a stand-alone treatment.

Pain neuroscience education should precede interventions such as graded activity, exercise therapy, stress management, sleep management and dietary advice.

Impairment and activity measures were significantly correlated with ability of locomotion.

Walking speed explained 35% of the variance in the ABILOCO scores.

Locomotion ability may increase if attention is focused on increasing walking speed.

Knee extensor torque complexity is reduced in the presence of frailty syndrome.

Frail participants showed a reduction in body mass, peak knee extensor torque and decreased physical performance.

The relationship between complexity and force levels was similar in all groups.

Education, joint stabilization, and myofascial release were most used for patellar tendinopathy rehabilitation.

Quadriceps eccentrics, education, joint stabilization and lumbo-pelvic stabilization and hamstrings stretching were frequently used for patellar tendinopathy prevention.

Brazilian physical therapists consider pain, function and functional test results to discharge an athlete.

Our results revealed an inconsistency between interventions used in clinical practice and interventions recommended by the best available evidence.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome patients had losses in hip muscle strength.

Flexion and rotation movements are reduced in FAI syndrome patients.

Reduced hip strength and motion should be considered during rehabilitation programs.

Pre-morbid contexts may relate to the onset of central sensitisation in chronic low back pain.

Themes of developmental learning experiences and personal characteristics emerged.

Themes of physical and emotional sensitivities and traumas also emerged.

These four themes may be linked with autonomic stress responses and central sensitisation pain.

Personal and environmental context influence affected arm use of stroke survivors.

Rural stroke survivors have limited awareness and knowledge of active functional task practice.

For recovery of the affected upper extremity, many stroke survivors rely on passive recovery methods.

Self-engagement in active functional task practice is facilitated by an enriched home environment and perception of ongoing recovery.
